You Don't Fear the Unknown! - Teal Swan

You've heard it gain and again, we fear the unknown. Guess what? We don't fear the unknown. If we truly feared the unknown, babies would fear everything and they do not. What we fear is what we project into the unknown based on our previous experiences. When we are facing the unknown, the mind goes to work projecting it's already acquired fears into the unknown to try to predict what lies in the unknown and then goes to work trying to figure out how to avoid those fears. It's those projections that we fear.

For example, if we quit our job that we have been working at for 10 years to do something radically new and different with our life, we are venturing into the unknown. But we don't fear that unknown in and of itself. We fear the potential failure and fall from grace that we could experience socially by venturing into the unknown. We fear this because we have experienced the feeling of failure and fall from grace before and wish to avoid this feeling at all costs. We do not fear the unknown in and of itself. We fear the potential unwanted things we predict that the unknown could contain. If we learned to not project our fears into the unknown, the unknown would no longer be scary.

Teal is no guru, she's just full of insights (metaphors or not) and likes to share them. I find her somewhat entertaining and I often get a better grasp of what I already know. She is also a good communicator. Who cares if she makes a living at doing this sort of thing. I find the comment section just as entertaining. People think they are being tricked all the time because of some hidden agenda, if your smart enough, you will see beyond the smoke screen. There is no threat here whatsoever. And yes, she is human.

Teal I swear I've been having great days since I've started listening to you. Have this feeling in the pit of my stomach allot even when I'm working my horrible job. Its just this amazing sensation like I'm starting to know myself finally.. I'm 34 so its about time I guess. Thank you so much for spreading your wisdom

If you imagine yourself as separate from the world, the world will appear as separate from you and you will experience desire and fear. I do not see the world as separate from me and so there is nothing for me to desire, or fear.

This is one of the most profound videos I've watched so far, from you. I reached a point where I am constantly getting anxiety about the fact that I can't figure out what the point of existence is. I don't mean the "purpose of life", practically, when it comes to our routines. No... I'm already on board with my passion/mission. I mean the point of existence, and why space "popped out" and someone hit "play". I feel like this video is gonna help me dealing with this fear of the unknown.

[Stopsufferingall]

It's inspiring to know that Teal, who lived through physical and emotional hell, has risen from it.

[JourneySpirit]

I love having my perspective shifted. Thank you. I learned that it's not the unknown I fear, it's what I project into it. And boy do we project fear! Getting better at projecting positivity; looking for the lesson in all things.

[Soylottie]

Oh my god I love this video so much!!! Thank you Teal!!! I love "plan" and "predict" what will happen in the future so that I can feel at ease and give myself a closure, which leads to pain because I am not at a state of openness.

[joedean]

Singlehandedly the most powerful advice anyone needs to take in life. All experiences, serves an extremely useful purpose for us to better ourselves. Good or bad is merely a label the mind applies to each event and we can choose to look at the value instead of fearing the mind made society conditioned label.
