Many who have survived such genocides have passed on a fear of persecution, long after the real threat that once triggered true fear in the ancestors is gone.
found that the DNA in the sperm cells was imprinted with the association between fear and the scent of cherry blossom.
However, as Bruce Lipton teaches in The Biology of Belief, you are not a victim of your genes. Just because your genes may have been programmed by your ancestors doesn’t mean you’re destined to abide by their rules. Even if your genes reflect the influence of these fears, how your genes express themselves depends on a variety of epigenetic (“above the genes”) forces, which include your thoughts, beliefs, and feelings, your physical environment, and the people you surround yourself with.
Becoming aware of the fears you’ve inherited from your ancestors isn’t about blaming your ancestors or playing the victim.
Your ancestors need your compassion, not your judgment, and you can be grateful that the fears you’ve inherited are helping you heal.
When false fear is running the show, the creative mind gets paralyzed.
Fearful ruminations diminish creativity and shrink your perception of what’s possible.
Accessing this place of absolute stillness requires being in the present moment, and in this place of stillness, fear doesn’t exist, not even true fear. When you’re in this state of consciousness, even the death of a loved one—even your own death—doesn’t scare you. You’re so still and so present that you trust that, even if you die, all is well.
When you’re able to stay in present time, focused only on the sensory input of what you currently see, hear, smell, taste, and feel, you’ll find you get a vacation from your thoughts, and you’re likely to experience peace.
By learning to take the position of witness to your thoughts, you discover that your thoughts are not YOU.
You are the consciousness witnessing your thoughts, but they don’t define you.
FOUR FEARFUL ASSUMPTIONS Uncertainty is unsafe. I can’t handle losing what I cherish. It’s a dangerous world. I am all alone.
In Loving What Is, Byron Katie teaches “The Work,” which is based on four questions that help you turn around a limiting belief into a more genuine truth.
Once you come into right relationship with uncertainty, you’re able to face uncertainty with excitement and curiosity, rather than fear.
When you accept the inevitability of loss, loss can help you grow.
People have a hard time letting go of their suffering. Out of a fear of the unknown, they prefer suffering that is familiar.
She turned her cancer journey into a documentary film, Crazy Sexy Cancer, and has since inspired millions with her message about how to be a “cancer thriver.”
But making peace with uncertainty may be one of the most powerful spiritual practices there is.
Courage-Cultivating Truth #1: “Uncertainty is the gateway to possibility.”
But while it’s true that the intellect comes from the cognitive mind, fear stems from thoughts arising in the mind as well.
Your Inner Pilot Light, on the other hand, resides in your heart and your intuition.
Falling into Grace, spiritual teacher Adyashanti
These ideas are nothing more than thoughts, yet we’re so identified with them that we forget who we really are—pure consciousness free of the limitations of thought.
but if you’re willing to be curious, life can be your teacher. That’s where the real magic lies.
As Rachel Naomi Remen pointed out in the Medicine for the Soul teleclass we taught together, life can be the teacher, if only we let it.
When I asked myself whether I would be living the same life if I knew I had only three months left to live, the answer was a resounding “Hell, no.”
Instead of viewing the unknown as a personal failure, I could see it as a gift from the Universe, an opportunity to learn, if only I was willing to be humble enough to seek out the lesson.
What I discovered is that the flip side of the fear of uncertainty is the excitement of possibility.
Set yourself up to get rejected.

Eckhart Tolle’s The Power of Now and A New Earth.
When you let loss initiate you rather than destroy you, when you allow life to be your teacher, even the most tragic loss can be a blessing.
Anything that requires risk becomes unacceptable. This is how fear is born.
In her book Broken Open, Elizabeth Lesser writes, “Adversity is a natural part of being human.
To listen to the soul is to slow down, to feel deeply, to see ourselves clearly, to surrender to discomfort and uncertainty, and to wait.”
How we deal with adversity affects how courageous we can become.
When adversity strikes, we just never know when something that looks like misfortune may actually be a blessing. So I’ve stopped praying for what I want.
