Quotes About Fear

A complete stranger seems to be looking back at you, and in her eyes there is hatred, hostility, bitterness, or anger. When she speaks to you, it is not your spouse or partner who is speaking but the pain-body speaking through them. Whatever she is saying is the pain-body's version of reality, a reality completely distorted by fear, hostility, anger, and a desire to inflict and receive more pain.
~ Eckhart Tolle
The ego believes that in your resistance lies your strength. Whereas in truth, resistance cute you off from being - the only place of true power.

~ Eckhart Tolle
For example, even such a seemingly trivial and "normal" thing as the compulsive need to be right in an argument and make the other person wrong — defending the mental position with which you have identified — is due to the fear of death.

La identificación con su mente, que hace que el pensamiento se vuelva compulsivo. No ser capaz de dejar de pensar es una calamidad terrible, pero no nos damos cuenta de ello así que se considera normal.

También crea un falso ser hecho por la mente que arroja una sombra de temor y de sufrimiento.
~ Eckhart Tolle

If uncertainty is unacceptable to you, it turns into fear. If it is perfectly acceptable, it turns into increased aliveness, alertness and creativity.

The reason why you don't put your hand in the fire is not because of fear, it's because you know that you'll get burned. You don't need fear to avoid unnecessary danger — just a minimum of intelligence and common sense.
~ Eckhart Tolle
fear, greed, and the desire for power are not the dysfunction that we are speaking of, but are themselves created by the dysfunction, which is a deep-seated collective delusion that lies within the mind of each human being.
~ Eckhart Tolle
Fear is divorced from any concrete and true immediate danger. It is always of something that *might* happen, not of something that is happening now. *You* are in the here and now, while your mind is in the future. This creates an anxiety gap. You cannot cope with something that is only a mind projection.
~ Eckhart Tolle
Open your eyes and see the fear, the despair, the greed, and the violence that are all-pervasive. See the heinous cruelty and suffering on an unimaginable scale that humans have inflicted and continue to inflict on each other as well as on other life forms on the planet.
~ Eckhart Tolle
Destructive and cruel wars, motivated by fear, greed, and the desire for power, had been common occurrences throughout human history, as had slavery, torture, and widespread violence inflicted for religious and ideological reasons. Humans suffered more at the hands of each other than through natural disasters.
~ Eckhart Tolle
La condición psicológica del miedo está divorciada de cualquier peligro inmediato concreto y verdadero. Se presenta de muchas formas: incomodidad, preocupación, ansiedad, nerviosismo, tensión, temor, fobia, etcétera. Este tipo de miedo psicológico se refiere siempre a algo que podría pasar, no a algo que está ocurriendo ahora. Usted está en el aquí y ahora mientras que su mente está en el futuro. Esto crea una brecha de ansiedad.
~ Eckhart Tolle
True salvation is a state of freedom — from fear, from suffering, from a perceived state of lack and insufficiency and therefore from all wanting, needing, grasping, and clinging.
~ Eckhart Tolle

Toda la negatividad es causada por una acumulación de tiempo psicológico y por la negación del presente. La incomodidad, la ansiedad, el estrés, la preocupación — todas las formas del mi-edo — son causadas por exceso de futuro y demasiado poca presencia. La culpa, las lamentaciones, el resentimiento, las quejas, la tristeza, la amargura y todas las formas de falta de perdón son causadas por exceso de pasado y falta de presencia.
~ Eckhart Tolle
The ego believes that in your resistance lies your strength, whereas in truth resistance cuts you off from Being, the only place of true power. Resistance is weakness and fear masquerading as strength. What the ego sees as weakness is your Being in its purity, innocence, and power.
