Fear and a heightened sense of awareness, or consciousness, are very different from each other. Being afraid always has a sense of what could happen in the future. We think about all the bad things that could happen, the pain we will suffer, the loss and upset, and we have an extreme terror of death. Even if we feel afraid for a second, that second contains within it all the projections of future misery or our demise.
A heightened sense of awareness is all about the present moment. In heightened awareness the mind is not imagining all kinds of evils befalling us. It is at rest because it is conscious of so much more than the need to get the next task done so we can eat and keep our bodies alive. While in heightened awareness, we can still perform tasks, yet at the center of the activity is peace.
Heightened awareness takes us beyond and above our minds and attunes us to the harmony of the Universe. Fear is not a part of this kind of consciousness. Faith, trust, and humility become dominant as we see the unfolding magnificence of the Universe. We may be aware of fear as part of the emotional spectrum, but it does not take over.
