EsoBites: Understanding “Fear the Lord God”

Fear is a necessary part of the early spiritual footpaths, as it serves to oppose self-deification and astral fantasy.  Without fear we would all die unsuccessful.  This is why the Holy Ones say to “fear the Lord God.”

One should always fear that he or she may make a mistake as to what path to travel.  If the seeker is sincere, it is of no account. If the seeker is untrue and seeks self-aggrandizement he or she only worsens the situation.

However, to identity oneself with fear of the unknown future (make it personal), will cripple a seeker and he or she shall pass away on earth and on the astral plane (they say in 40 days) and be no more.

Three evolutionary factors that a seeker must come to terms with are:  fear, survival, and carnal lust. For no one enters the second threshold unless or or she is “one” and is a fit captain of the psychophysical ship.

Scriptural Concurrences:

2 Corinthians 7:11 For observe this very thing, that you sorrowed in a godly manner: What diligence it produced in you, what clearing of yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what vehement desire, what zeal, what vindication! In all things you proved yourselves to be clear in this matter.
