One function of thought is to be occupied with something all the time, which prevents us from seeing ourselves as we are. We are afraid to be empty. We are so scared to look at our fears and doubts!

I think fear does serve a purpose. It tells us that we have a belief (mind, thought) that has not been looked into. Until we find the belief that has caused the fear it will keep recurring. We cannot do that if “we are afraid of looking at our fears.” So, why do we fear looking at our fears?
My first and subsequent “nervous breakdowns” from 1985 on all had to do with FEAR. “False Experiences Appearing Real.” Never have I ever felt so much fear, not even when seeing a rattlesnake for the first time. It was all about mind hatter that was not real. Fear is truly an ilusion the mind conjures up to control us and keep us from presence and love. That’s my experience.
