Anxiety..... The fear of nothing
A person suffering from anxiety can not tell you what they
are scared of because we only fear "fear" itself. This is
because, the truth is, there is nothing to fear. Anxiety and
depression go hand in hand. It is a sign that shows that you
have bought into a misperception. Anxiety or fear occurs
when we forget who we are. It is a message prompting us to
pause, step back and put things into perspective again.
As soon as you pause and
stop justifying your misperception you will see the Truth.
You can then turn the negative pattern into a positive one
and the anxiety disappears. The misperception, or negative
pattern, is therefore positive as it is showing us our
error. The Bible supports this when it states:
''The Devil
knows not who he works for"
Psychology, at best, will
only help you to identify your faulty thought pattern and
then teach you to cope with it. By coping with your
misperception you perpetuate it. A psychiatrist will simply
prescribe drugs. Obviously, no drug will ever solve your
problem. They only suppress the symptoms, which compounds
the problem because you do not heed the mind's warning that
you are entertaining a misperception. You therefore miss the
opportunity to find out the cause of your condition and will
continue to suffer.
We are not out to knock the
medical profession, they do a wonderful job at their level.
What we are knocking is man's stupidity in believing that
there is no order in the Universe and the belief that we can
suddenly get sick for no logical reason. Your body has an
incredible immune system and it is only when you have
compromised this defence mechanism with damaging thoughts
that you will be open to diseases and disorders.

In order for your
depression or anxiety to remain with you, you must re-create
it each day, or it will simply disappear because it is not
consistent with Truth. When the conventional approaches give
you a label for your disorder, and a bottle of pills, you
are led to believe that the problem is real and that you
have no way of solving it. You are now reminded of the fact
that you have a disorder each time you hear the name, or
simply see your bottle of pills on your bedside table.
