​Clearing the Fear of Loss

When I look at society and at the people around me there seems to be a constant fear of loss in the air.

The fear of losing the job, loved ones, financial stability, health, the mind and everything in between. Every single minute seems to be invested in trying to stay in control of all of the above.

Usually before they even finish their first coffee or tea in the morning, their mind will be so busy planning everything that needs to be taken care of, needs to be done to not lose anything and to not lose control, that most people are already feeling exhausted before their day really begins.

Because everybody does this and because of all the conditioning throughout society, hardly anybody seems to really question why they are doing this, and if all the material possessions and achievements that make you a good member of society are really worth doing all of this silly stuff.

Everybody tries to accumulate as many possessions, credentials, prestige, etc. as possible, just to end up in a position that when they have it, they start to fear to lose everything. In turn trying to accumulate even more and hold it even tighter, as all of this seems to be the end all, be all of modern society.

I find this very interesting and entertaining. Nobody really seems to enjoy their lives, enjoy being themselves and have fun playing together and creating.

I wonder where the fun is in all of this.

Everybody seems to be so worked up, stressed, looking for the next adrenaline rush or the next vacation where they can compete who can drink the most alcohol in the shortest amount of time, or have the most pleasure, that helps them to not have to face themselves and look into their deep dark hidden secrets and fears.

Fear of loss is nothing else than the mind trying to stay on top and in control. Its need to be better than and its need to survive. I wonder where YOU are in all of this???

Let’s look at this for what it really is and ask ourselves. What is there to lose?

If we look at it from a higher perspective, there is only one answer: Nothing!

You are an amazing, beautiful and majestic eternal being, currently residing in a body on a planet. The only thing that is real and can not be threatened.

The body is your vehicle and the mind is your tool to navigate this body. If you lose this body, it’s pretty simple. You pick up another one.

All the material possessions are beautiful tools and toys and they are wonderful while they last, but you don’t need them.

You have created them to make navigating and playing on this planet easier, more enjoyable and much more fun, but if they are gone, you as creator will simply create new tools and toys.

Losing someone you love is also not really possible, as they are eternal beings and creator incarnate, just like you are. You are always connected and communicating in your advanced states, even if you might not be aware of this during your lifetime(s) on this planet.

If we start to look at it from this perspective. The questions change from: How much can I accumulate and try to keep? How can I stay in control? How far can I run away from myself?

To: How much can I enjoy myself and others? How can we best complement, play and create together? How can we best grow, expand and have a blast, yet at the same time always honoring each other?

Enjoying everything while it lasts and then knowing that it ended because something better is in store and much more fun, love and creativity is to be had.

Would it really be so bad to let go of the fear of loss and live in a state of child-like play and creativity?

Knowing that the Universe always has your back.
