What he's saying is actually a Tibetan Buddhism technique of the Nyingma lineage in the Dzogchen teachings called the inner mind ruushen. This technique is a preliminary to the non meditation state. Only difference is that Tibetans say that first there are thoughts and stories woven around that feeling sensation of fear. Strip them one by one . Then when it stands almost naked with only the underwear on , strip that too. The name 'fear' is the underwear its wearing. Once you remove that, see where is the sensation happening? It seems to be happening somewhere in the gut. Now be with that raw sensation which has been stripped of all stories and labels. The sensation vanishes without the support of the stories and labels. Like this, one can apply this technique to any feeling sensation. But it needs practise. Its very powerful too. Hope it helps

[@nothinbutms]

very powerful. this is truly insightful what you'be shared... if u don't mind, i'd like to add that it's a practice. no? because the feeling in the gut (for me at least) just didn't dissolve. it's gradually dissipating. through burping and released tension.

[@samerehnavadeh7068]

Exactly…. I always feared so much of losing my parents. My father passed away 3 years ago. It was painful but was tolerable. The imagination (fear) of losing them was absolutely not tolerable. Tears still come when I remember him but it’s all fine. Nothing to tear me off. Life goes on. ❤

It is wild to think how much power we give words.

[@MMat1as]

summary: "fear" is just a word, it is the psychological component, it is the rationalization of the event that generates the biological component in the body (the feeling) and we name that with the word "fear/frustration"

[@piccadelly9360]

Fear is a feeling that we are born with to protect life. This means that we are actually afraid of death, if we manage not to be afraid of death then we are no longer afraid

[@atlasofthewrld]

Death is a mental (psychological) concept however

[@annesobb1675]

This sensation is an anxiety somewhere in the brain stuck from a trauma from the past; and we put a scenario from outside on it but in fact it’s the past that we project into the people, world, project, everything

[@doctortechobgyn4282]

Thanks, I understood the difference. Get prepared and meet the challenge, do in the moment what needs to be done, deal with every situation as it erupts, rather than imagining about it. 👍

[@vidyamadamanchi7091]

I do that often and I have come to a conclusion that we all live in a world of tremendous fear in every sphere of life and getting over that is true enlightenment.

Fear of not being save, nowhere to feel save in this world. Mind creating,clearing, creating, pursuing and…threatened by arrogance, ignorance, making so much noise, affraid, contraction, not able to breathe, so much violence, look at it, observe..the well known feeling remains, feeling without the word, sensation, sensation without words, forms, all the senses, wow; the I, thought - word, has struggled with this for 65 years, my goodness. So, with so much violence, ignorance, arrogance, in the seemingly outside world, go within haha and remain there without words ❤️

Feeling is just like a small sensation but the thought process makes it a big problem... The problem which doesn't exist at all.. exept in your merely thoughts🙃. Fear doesn't exist in present,it only exists in the thoughts of tomorrow n yesterday.. And if you can grow fear through your thoughts then can't you destroy fear through opposite

The very habbit of observing and separating the sensations from the words makes you aware of youself, and the big importance we usualy gave to it at that time in the past, for exemple, goes away. It becames known to you, and you give litle importance to it. In the and, fear is from unknownig ourselves. When you know, you became greater than the feeling. Its a meditative exercise.

[@willowgalan2942]

I think rather he was motivated by the compassion that his deep understanding of our confusion instilled in him to be as direct as possible. He is constantly checking and to us and our simple minds it looks of fear but it comes out of wisdom and a desire to reiterate his teaching's importance to the listener.

[@JSaretin]

This is crazy. While I was meditating few weeks ago, I decided to meditate on "attention" which later leed me to "sensation" and "feeling". It turns out feeling is nothing but a label 🏷️ we slap on sensation when we explain to others. Because "we become what we think about" and "we don't know what we don't know", we can label a particular sensation wrongly because we do not have the right word to describe the sensation. Sensation on the other hand, originates from as result of ex-periment (experience) that we conduct. When we experience something, we might feel positive, negative or neutral about the experiment. The whole this is kinda complicated to explain. This is why I want to start my blog to share my thoughts with others.

[@kastriottakeshi3256]

Is there a difference between being free from fear and wanting to create a certain state within yourself, a state of well-being, even a "spiritual state", a state of higher consciousness? which includes manifesting and so on. I wonder if anyone else sees this? Does the question make any sense? I never write a comment, what do you think, please do comment.

[@neverdyingtruthiscommonforall]

I have limited understanding on these concepts, but hear my answer There is a difference, Being free from fear is being free from thoughts and left with observational presence alone(created because of unidentification) To create a certain state - initially you may land in that observational state, but 2nd time 3rd time, your mind might be creating that state, You are creating your own identification

[@cosmincobasa9877]

The word can be the definition of a feeling, but the other way around it’s possible? I personally think that we feel the necessity of nameing what we feel, think, see instead of enjoying it how it is and live in the present, the curent sensation. 😅 we have to remember that every word that we say is a general definition that we all agree about, but particularly we have to discover every sensation and define it by ourselves, for ourselves.

[@a.b.c.8816]

The mental feeds the emotions. Even if, at first, it's the emotion that creates the ideas of fear or anger ... I'm not sure talking about "the word 'fear' " is a good thing. When one is afraid he doesn't necessarily think "I'm afraid", he/she doesn't necessarily think the WORD "fear". However there's a mental activity which is not pure emotion anymore. Maybe replacing "word" by "mental", or "thought" would be more clear.

[@sudaththaliyanaarachchi7657]

It is helpful if you can show what he is talking in writing. I am confuse with word or world. It is not clear

Great words but understood

[@juniors8745]

In what does that change the fact that you are feeling it, i mean you continue feeling the fear even if you separate the word, so for me it is worthless

[@sanekabc]

He says, "looking at that sensation with the totality of all your senses." what does that mean?

[@christopherpesqueira1439]

Observe the fear with all of your senses. Can you hear the fear? Can you smell the fear? Can you taste fear? Can you see fear? Can you feel the fear? You can do this with all of the human emotions. They are illusion like.

[@poetryf6959]

U need to do Vipassana to understand this concept clearly

[@foujdaars]

We can feel(skin) it in heart. Can't see,smell, touch, listen,taste. Question is How not to feel(skin) it?​@@christopherpesqueira1439

​@@christopherpesqueira1439yes i can see the fear, I can sense it too. I can see my empty wallet because I have lost my job. I cant by food to eat and I can sense my stomach asking for food. How is it not a problem?

[@parmsoftech]

And fyi, humans always make a better plan from yesterday to succeed. So we can feel it in our imagination as it might have possibility to happen in future. Obviously we can't feel the future but if that plan dosent work out, your fears become true and you can feel that at some point like I'm feeling my empty wallet now

[@nobrunaga5860]

Even though the word is separate from the feeling, the sensation could still hurt without naming it …. right?

[@brunacarmim]

I belive that the point is to examine the sensation as it is, to face a negative sensation without prejudgment, to feel the feeling, form start to finish before trying to find meaning in it

[@OObservador-gb8vf]

K seems to be frustrated because anybody is able to understanding him

[@Dontwannaknow44]

This stuff is why I take JK with grain of salt. How can you observe fear when YOU are fear itself

[@harjotmahal8985]

That's not quite so true. If I was fear itself I wouldn't have known it. What is that knowing principle within me that knows the fear? Being one with it completely in the moment and yet not it. What remained after the fear went ? What was there before it came? Who knew it while it lasted?

[@JagVama]

You will be in a mental asylum. Listen to his talk 10 times or more & try to understand.....when you separate the word FEAR what remains is just a sensation..a feeling....when you focus with all your sensory dashboard - you realise it's just a sensation....you can't smell fear you can't see fear you can't hear fear - it's just an illusion projected by your mind....thoughts create such sensations and creates havoc labeling it as fear and your amygdala goes on and over drive..... bypassing your executive function. But when you carefully dissect that sensation - it's just a meaningless feeling making no sense - so your intelligence will shine and it will vanish. This doesn't apply to encountering a cobra or a tiger - that is a powerful sensation to survive - fight or flight. But thoughts create fear from nothing and we suffer with such illusory fears which are psychological. Just look at a map - you know you can't pull the territory out of the map. Apply the same logic. Seeing a cobra is territory and fearing cobra in every corner of your home is fear and it is illusory and stupid.

No one cares at the end of the day if someone believes it or not. You are missing the point, believing in god or “field” is important for humans so that they can blame someone outside when something goes wrong. Westerners or real atheists are getting into mental stress because they believe that everything is due to them or due to their thoughts/will power which is not completely true.
