If you look up in the sky during the day, you see the Sun. That becomes the most dominant in your experience. In the night, if you look up, the stars become very dominant in your experience, but both the Sun and the stars — in fact, the Sun happens to be a star, too — look like puny little things when compared to the immense vastness of the sky. Generally, though, the sky is never in your conscious perception. So, true existence can be likened to the vastness of the sky. The Sun, the stars, you and me, are all just small happenings, very brief happenings, really.
Today, science is telling you that even the Sun has a lifespan. Eventually, it will burn itself out. As you are burning your life out, similarly, the Sun is burning his life out, too. Your normal temperature is 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit; the Sun's normal temperature is some 98 million degrees, but he also has a lifespan and, one day, he will exist no longer. So whatever you see as physical existence is just a small happening. The true existence is the vastness, the emptiness that is there, the space.

What you call a person is just like a bubble. This bubble doesn't have any substance of its own. The air was there, all around. It just created a shell around itself, so suddenly it has a different quality of its own. There are thick bubbles, there are thin bubbles, there are strong bubbles, there are weak bubbles, big, small, just like people. Just like every other creature too, but when the bubble bursts, the substance that is inside the bubble, where is it? The air has reclaimed it; the atmosphere has reclaimed it. Similarly, a bubble is formed in the form of an etheric body, in the form of a pranic body, a mental body and a physical body. The physical body we can shoot down any moment we want to. It is within our power to just cut the physical body in two if we want to, but the other bodies we are not able to cut. Only what you call as existence, only that can do it.

What you are calling the spiritual process is just that. It is a deeper way of ensuring you don't exist anymore. This is not about killing the physical body. You are trying to destroy the very fundamentals of creating the body within you. You are trying to destroy the very fundamental structure over which a body can form. The physical body is possible only because of the necessary karmic substances that are there in the form of etheric, pranic and mental bodies.

So you are trying to destroy that through the spiritual process. With your awareness, practices, love, and with your devotion, all you are trying to do is destroy the possibility of taking on another body, destroy the very foundation over which the physical body can happen. Or, in other words, we are trying to take away the possibility of you going through the recycling bin over and over again. A mother's womb is only a recycling bag. Again and again... we're going through the same process. So we want to take that away.

Answer 3

The Hebrew word "fear" is more accurately translated as "awe." How much awe does one have during a hurricane, lightning storm, earthquake, etc.? God is not only all powerful, but also just.

“It has been told you, O mortal, what is good, and what the Eternal requires of you – Only this: to do justly, and love mercy, and walk humbly with your God.” Micah 6:1

Answer 4

The fear of God is a reverant fear. One who deserves much respect.

Answer 5

I have no fear of My Heavenly Father. Why should I. I believe in my heart he loves me. That is like saying your earthly father loves you and continually mistreats you. He is my Heavenly Father. Jesus said it best Your Heavenly Father knows you have need of these. If I was a child molester, rapist, murder, liar, or thief then I would have fear of not only earthly law but of the Heavenly law against this. Then I would say yes I would fear God. Those who create the worlds woes should have fear and great trembling. There is one list of Christians on this site that has not been attacked, they are called closer walk Christians that want to be Christ like. They want to live their lives according to the Word. The reason being they are little known because it requires faith and trust everyday in the Lord. It requires one to love all, have forgiveness and mercy on all. It requires the teachings of Jesus.

Answer 6

How much love is associated with God? That's whats important!

Answer 7

I don't think we need to be fearful of God, he's all knowing etc but loves us and has our best interest in mind. So I guess you might be fearful if you're not a good person or you're making poor choices.

Answer 8

Why would you be afraid of your closest friend?

It works like this, Once God had a beautiful idea. God found this idea so lovely so perfect that he did not want to be without it for another second. So He/She thought a part of herself to have enough individuality to see it’s self as separate as a unit as an individual, as you. God did this so that he might have you to love and so that he might have you to love him. God sees you as his perfect creation. What is there to be afraid of in that?

Forget all the shrill nonsense you have heard about a God that wants to punish anyone. This is not religion its fear, an insult to the real loving God.

Ask your heart it still remembers the truth in spite of all the lies you have been told about this foolish little God of vengeance.

Love and blessings.

Answer 9

The Bible says that "the beginning of wisdom is fear of the Lord". This is not a "don't throw lightening at me" fear. It's a reverent fear, as a child fears his father.

Fear is not the opposite of love. Hate is the opposite of love.

Answer 10

Many people claim to be Christians just because they fear hell. They don't understand that Christianity is an "act and a relationship."
I can't believe in Christianity, so fear doesn't affect me that way. My beliefs are not my choice, but the extension of my logical capacity.

Answer 11

Fear of God is widely misinterpreted, and taken out of context. Fear of God is in reverence, and awe of His Mighty power.
