Fear leads to anger.

About the topic:

Fear leads to anger. When we have anger we lose the power in ourselves and we fail to understand that we have a problem. By being aware of the fact that everything is auspicious we can overcome anger. Fear is the passive form of the energy while anger is the active expression. It is said that we undergo six to twelve fear strokes every day and night, both in dreams and also in wakefulness. Fear strokes originate from unconsciousness. When they are viewed with awareness and consciousness, they can be substantially reduced. You must understand it is ok to fail, to lose something –learn from that to be more aware. What are fear strokes? Example you are walking in the garden in the dark, and you see a coil of rope. You start shivering, imagining it to be snake. That sudden shock you get before realizing it is just a rope not a snake is what is called a fear stroke. A fear stroke is like shaking a rose plant from its roots. Every fear can be used as a door to enlightenment. If you are experiencing too many fears in your life and if you know the right technique all those fears can become doors and you can be liberated. Otherwise all the fears are like walls. All you need to do is, every time you feel fear, do not lose confidence. If you are courageous enough to face the fear, it can lead you to liberation. Fear strokes are short spikes of fear. Fear strokes weaken the immune system. They release depression – inducing chemicals and even accelerate our ageing process. Fear can be changed to fearlessness and intelligence out of pure awareness. Anything suppressed only takes up another form. It doesn't set uprooted totally. So suppression is not the way to overcome fear. Awareness is the way. In fact if you suppress fear, you are missing the chance of overcoming it. Having fear is natural. But connecting the fear to an object is societal.
