Fear That Is Always Present
A student describes experiencing persistent fear and heart racing, and the teacher explains why this turbulence is always present and what perpetuates it.
I have a lot of fear and heart racing. Not all the time, but a lot, even now. There are probably different levels. I don't think I'm experiencing what you're talking about right now, just general fear and heart racing.
I think you are, because there are levels, but this is always present. Especially if you have resonated even once with this kind of conversation, this kind of group, this is going to be present for you every moment of every day.
The turbulence beneath the surface
For a lot of people, they are very unaware of it, but it is also present every moment of every day. They just have everything very tied together. It is still right there, because the turbulence is an activity, an energy that you have to be constantly feeding. That applies to every person alive.
So yes, it is what I'm talking about. Then there are degrees of how much on the edge, or close to the edge, we are on a moment-by-moment basis. But what I'm talking about is going to be present all the time, because it is reality, it is what is.
What feeds the turbulence
One of the things that feeds this is managing, controlling, and avoiding fear and pain. That is why, if we learn to be with it and be okay with fear and pain, the turbulence will calm.
