Fear
Published in Bikya Masr on 30 - 08 - 2010

The crescent turned into a full moon and dispersed fear on earth.
The moon symbolizes the dark side of the soul in philosophy. It takes us to the zone of darkness and the secret of the night. It inches open the door of soul's mystery. The moon, that is the messenger of distrust, nightmare and bad expectations, causes consternation against unknown and unseen.
This fear is the disturbance that we feel while passing through a desolate forest in the night in which we walk comfortably in the day time. It signifies the major challenge in life which is facing and defeating the monster in the depth of our spirit.
If every perception in life is a choice, we may also choose what the moon will mean to us. İf we can succeed to have a different perspective, The moon will associate with romance and rich imagination instead of the darkness.
If fear is the state of consciousness of expecting the evil, and we invite all we scare of to our lives, we can change our fate by changing our conscious. However, fear will never leave us alone without facing it. We cannot ignore it or pretend that it does not exist. The energy of fear integrates with love as well as birth exists together with death in life.
The little girl who was afraid of the wardrobe in her room, one day walked slowly towards it. She suddenly opened its door but there was no monster inside as she had thought. The transformation of fear into love is the salvation of what has been hidden under. The fear waits to be discovered in our subconscious like a mosaic to be broken down one by one up to the foundation stone.
When we take out the first stone underneath, others fall upon it. Because the name of the first stone is ‘ Fear of Death'.
In fact, there is no other fear except fear of death. Fear of hunger, fear of loneliness are only derives from fear of death. Considering that the reason for today's global financial crisis is the fear of being perished in the collective subconscious, we can solve many global problems by releasing our fears.
To defeat fear means is to take the divine truth out to the sunshine from the deepest darkest. This could be explained with the compatible balance built between the known and unknown. ıt is also the peace made between the civilized man and his wild nature. It is the friendship in Myth between Gılgamesh and his deadly enemy Enkidu.
Rather than running away from our scary strength living inside of us, we should adopt them in allowance in order to educate them. Rather than negation the instinct that we name ‘Pain'; we can cease the antagonism between our urbane awareness and our wild nature.
It means to construct an undefeatable power with fears by upgrading them to a higher level with stopping the contradiction. This phenomenon constitutes the main theme in Myth and fairy tales. Because the hero finally decides to face the dragon by releasing his fear and hate and understands that he has been fighting against the princess he had been searching for.
