The Root of Fear & The Path to Freedom
– A Message from Brother Bear
Family,
I want to speak with you today about something that lives in almost all of us—quietly, persistently, and sometimes deafeningly loud:
Fear.
It shows up as doubt. As hesitation. As judgment. As control. It can make your body tense, your nervous system hypervigilant, your mind race in panic, and your heart close.
It can even lead you to take actions that, while rooted in good intention, are driven by fear—and therefore never quite deliver the results you’re hoping for.
But here’s the truth I’ve come to learn—not just through books, teachings, or channeling divine masters—but through sitting in the medicine, walking with Spirit, facing my own shadows, and holding space for others as they remember who they truly are… and who they are not.
Fear isn’t the enemy. It’s a compass.
When fear arises, it’s not a sign you’re failing. It’s a sign that something sacred is waking up inside you—a deeper truth pressing against the walls of an old identity.
That pressure? That friction? That’s initiation knocking.
It’s your soul outgrowing the container it once needed, and your being calling for a new, expanded reality to hold you.
Most of the fear we carry isn’t even ours.
It’s inherited—from our ancestors, and from the wounds they bore while doing their best to navigate impossible circumstances. It's absorbed from a society that taught us survival over trust, achievement over presence, control over connection. Individuality over unity. Suck it up over choose your reality.
Fear comes from forgetting.
Forgetting that we’re not separate. Forgetting that we have guides and allies all around us. Forgetting that the same force that moves the oceans, grows the trees, and spins the stars… lives within us.
And when we forget that? We live from our lower nature. From ego. From fear.
Striving to protect ourselves, to predict what’s next, to avoid pain at all costs.
But what we’re really avoiding… is the raw, unfiltered presence of this moment.
The mystery. The unknown.
The very place where all healing—and all beauty—begins.
And that’s where freedom lives.
So how do we find our way out?
We don’t fight fear.
We don’t bypass it.
We walk straight through it.
We feel it. We face it. We meet it like a friend who’s simply forgotten the truth.
We hold it like a wounded child who just needs to be seen, to be loved, to be reminded that they are not alone—and that the feeling of being stuck is not who they are. It’s just a conditional state… born from the illusion of separation.
I’ve learned to cut through fear not with aggression, but with honesty. Radical, loving honesty. And by seeing fear not as a problem—but as a portal.
Fear presents a choice:
Rise or remain.
Own your creatorship or surrender to the creations of others.
Surrender to the infinite—or keep clinging to a limited story of self.
Here are 3 practices I use—and offer to you—from my path to yours:
1. Be With It, Don’t Flee It
Sit still. Breathe deep.
Ask yourself: Where is this fear in my body? Not why—just where.
Let it speak. Let it move. Let it soften.
It’s not here to punish you. It’s here to free you.
To show you not what you are… but what you are not.
2. Speak From the Soul to the Story
Once you sense where the fear lives and what beliefs it holds, speak to the part of yourself that’s still identifying with it—from the position of your Soul.
See your Soul as a wise elder looking into the eyes of a younger self who is struggling—who has forgotten the bigger picture.
Speak with love, with compassion, with the eagle-eye of lived experience:
“I know it’s been hard. But you’re safe now.
You don’t have to keep reliving this story.
There is so much more for you than what you’ve been taught to expect.
Everything you’ve been through has prepared you to rise—and your healing will serve more than just you.”
Help that part of you see the blessings in the challenge.
Even when it’s hard.
Especially then.
3. Clear Your Field Daily
Each day, I call back my energy from wherever I’ve scattered it—conversations, regrets, projections, expectations.
Then I speak this out loud:
“I surrender now to the truth of the light of creation.
I am the light of God, and the light of God moves through me.
I release now all stories, beliefs, and identities rooted in limitation.
I am the love of the universe, and the light of creation moves through me.”
Visualize golden light pouring through your body.
See the fog lifting.
Feel the truth landing in your cells.
Then—shake your body out. Let go.
Sing from the place of your Soul.
Follow the sound. Let it carry you into the present.
Watch the fog clear.
It works—because you believe it does.
4. Remember Who You Really Are
Fear loses its grip when you remember your Source—when you remember what you are made of.
You are not small.
You are not broken.
You are a mystery—a living, breathing paradox that cannot be contained by a single word, story, or identity.
You are the breath of the Earth and the fire of the stars, wrapped in human skin.
When fear comes, speak this to yourself:
“I am safe. I am whole. I walk with Spirit.”
Let it be your anchor. Let it be your return.
My friend, freedom isn’t found in a future without fear.
It’s found in the presence you bring to fear—right now.
You were never meant to carry the weight of the world on your own.
You were never meant to be ruled by fear.
And you were never meant to forget the infinite well of strength, love, and wisdom that lives within you.
When we stop running from fear and instead sit beside it, something sacred happens:
Humility sets in.
Not the kind that says, “I am less than,”
but the kind that says,
“The truth of my power is in remembering that I am One.
I am unified.
And I am always, always walked with—
by my Soul, my guides, my ancestors, and the light of creation itself.”
The fear softens.
The truth emerges.
And we begin to walk—not as victims of our past,
not as warriors swinging swords at imagined enemies—
but as guardians of the sacred path forward.
With you, in every step of this human walk,
