T154 PNC - Fallen Fears — All Sufferings Stem from Fallen Fears / Elevate to Source (1 seg)

Beginner: Know that there exist 'fallen fears' — fears that have descended from their proper place in the spiritual realm and become distorted, corrupted, or misdirected. All the sufferings and judgments that a person experiences — every form of difficulty, pain, loss, and hardship — all of them stem from fallen fears. The fear descended into the particular matter that the person fears and from which he suffers. This is a profound teaching: the very thing a person fears is the thing that his fear has 'fallen into' — the fear descended from its proper elevated form (yirat Hashem) and attached itself to something particular and material. The remedy: recognize that your fear is a fallen form of fear of God. Elevate the fear back to its source — redirect it from the particular thing you fear toward the divine. When the fallen fear is raised, the suffering that flowed from it is sweetened. Intermediate: There exist fallen fears. All sufferings and judgments = stem from fallen fears. Fear descended into the particular matter the person fears from which he suffers. The thing feared = what the fear has 'fallen into.' Fear = fallen form of yirat Hashem. Remedy: recognize fallen fear, elevate back to its source (yirat Hashem), redirect from particular to divine. Raised fear = suffering sweetened.
