Discover the Root Cause of Fear

[@sugarfree1894]

It seems to me that without daily practice of quietening the mind until it becomes still, meditation, the matter of being/not being a separate self is fraught with doubt and a degree of anxiety that troubles people. In the empty stillness of meditation, there is no separate self, only pure unmediated awareness, and it is lovely - there is no anxiety or doubt. I think this is the problem with non-duality when it is unsupported by practice.

I just discovered this master (Rupert Spira brought me here through YT recommendations). Awesome. Thank you so much. Greetings from Spain!

A Great Sage of our time! Thank you Francis!

[@janetsontilt]

Love that analogy “when your playing the robber then you’re choosing to resist a rest!”👍

[@owl6218]

thank you, francis for sharing your material so generously.

[@DietrichLasa]

Wishful thinking (I am certain this wish has been expressed many times): May these videos with Francis find their way to the curriculum of any education. On the other hand, freedom is not further away just because the educational system has not embraced it. The immediacy of freedom is not compromised.

[@doodlesnoodles5581]

I just want to say thank you for sharing these videos. They're a beautiful gift to the world.

[@nature1080]

One of the best videos, teachings ever. Thanx.

[@taraclover4783]

Thank you Francis💕

[@bethjordan7608]

I’m normally intimidated by such long dialogues, so thank you for adding the time stamps¡ Otherwise I probably would not have watched this video and then I would have missed this gem of a discussion on fear and anxiety. It has given me a lot to contemplate in my own experience. Gracias Francis¡

"When Jimmy decides to play the cop or the robber . . .(when he plays the robber) . . .then Jimmy is going to jail." So hilarious. So complete. And it is just 2:48. Hahahahaha. Gotta love Francis Lucille!

[@karnpooni4281]

Thanks Francis & Team!!

[@owl6218]

'ignorating' - genius.

[@garycuskelly6844]

Frances answers shine a light on all our questions & we can bathe in that Light by just listening. Truely miraculous.

[@brahmasatyamjaganmithya6708]

Priceless dialogues, thanks so much

[@conormckeown7065]

Thank you Francis, I feel I get a lot out of your content. The uploads are greatly appreciated.

So good, thank you

Thank you 🙏🏼❤

[@oliveralecic2299]

Sincere thanks to the lady who asked a question about the fear that comes after she finishes her work🌷

[@ordinaryguy815]

Yes its the type of stuff I would ask Francis myself. I struggle with this every day.

[@andyakarudolfhessiansack7936]

It's a paradox. You feel strange when back from work in silence. Yet I spend most the day in silence, love it, but I am afraid to goto work. What is wrong for one. Is right with the other. All in the flase self of course. In our true self....we are free from such anxiety and fear. If we could.swap, we would still be in the same predicament. 😅

[@eamonnspirit]

Thank you, loving teacher.

[@martinfranke8866]

[@ellisgarvin]

Sometimes when I watch Francis' videos, despite being so grateful for and uplifted by them, I can't help but think that he has the worst job in the world: to repeat the same truths over and over and over, like a professor at a school for amnesiacs. And after so many years, I am embarrassed to say that I seem to be another one of those amnesiacs....

[@JuanSinMiedo441]

i was just thinking the same thing haha poor Francis, he's so devoted and full of love and patience!

[@henrigamelin2777]

There is no routine for someone who lives in the present

[@dalegriffiths3628]

I agree, he is amazing. I get frustrated sometimes (not always) by the questioning by certain people - especially if it takes them ages to formulate their question and /or ask something that Francis very eloquently just answered. At the same time I realise that these people are asking these questions sincerely so my irritation isn’t important as long as they are receiving help. I can always fast forward to Francis’ response.

[@squamish4244]

The sheer endurance of the fear has actually made it worse i.e. when is this ever going to end? I want timelines, not wordplay.

[@ellisgarvin]

@@squamish4244 Sorry to hear you're suffering, my friend. It sounds like something that might need a deeper investigation and more support than is possible in the KZbin comment section? I have gotten a lot of help from various therapies over the years. They're not a replacement for the teachings you find here, nor are the teachings here the most effective medicine for every individual and every issue. If you're bleeding you need a bandage, not nondualism. If you're hungry you need a (veggie) burger, not nondualism, etc. 🙂

Lack of desire for it

[@vp1o2]

but isn’t that also just another thought that the separate individual doesn’t have control over?

[@monicaarcher7107]

With understanding, there was no personal understander. But the thought comes after - "I got that!" Is meditation the best remedy for that? See that thought?

[@owl6218]

That lady who held on for so long,....omg. some people simply want to do an intellectual battle.

[@shastasilverchairsg]

Am I right in thinking that Francis's approach (and Advaita Vedanta) is more of a jnana yoga approach? I find him extraordinarily clear; yet sadly my temperament is suited to bhakti yoga.

[@christarhagen8540]

I like this comunication, but not getting any thing out of it. It feels like home.

[@annelbeab8124]

Consciousness is impersonal but still perceived by the individual and being attentive as an individual to that fact can draw the veil and 'change the tide' - possibly. The 'happiness' of the golden or even more thsn often rusty cage is the validation of the self. As long as there is mentally an existential clinging to the own separate existence, man will not know freedom. The little as the big fears make us feel alive. Somehow it seems if you take the fear away, there will also be no fun. This is equalled with death. And that makes man shy away from seeing into the structure of fear properly.

[@NJB28]

Francis has said that the little fears make things interesting. He has also said that after self-realization The Big Fear is gone and that is the fear of dying and ceasing to exist. Sounds pretty good to me.

[@owl6218]

your freedom would not be absolute if cannot choose to get enslaved...

[@manonvanslogteren9165]

To say Absolute Reality has a choose is to deprive it of its Absolute freedom to be all possibilities.

Universal Consciousness is like a wave - Our Ancestors rode horses we drive cars - The Universal Consciousness had to change - you could not continue riding a horse and soon automobiles will be a thing of the Universal Past - when we are all flying through wormholes...

[@downzmatt]

anyone here ever notice his name is an anagram for lucifer?

[@NJB28]

No, it’s not. You need to look up what an anagram is.

[@Dooality]

Yeah that’s not an anagram. An anagram uses all the letters. If we’re going to pick and choose like that then your name is an anagram of “Demon” LOL

[@ellisgarvin]

If there is no individual entity, whose problem is the lack of desire to know reality? Whose problem is the lack of desire for grace?
