Cosmic Lighthouse is pleased to present you a regular channeling column by Jeane Pothier. In each issue, we ask a general question to which Jeane will channel a reply. The energy that Jeane channels may change from issue to issue.

I AM Raphael, the angel of Healing and Transformation and I delight in being here with you in this way, sharing our energies and taking a moment to indeed, heal and transform in new ways.

The question is asked this day of what is the purpose of our fears? What can be learned from them?

Much has been written and channeled about fears and there are many belief systems around fear and the purpose of fear. I begin this day by saying that fear is whatever you choose to believe that it is. Feel the energy of this, for it is important to understand your part in what fear can be for you.

Fears carry potentials. Potentials for healing, potentials for understanding and comprehension, potentials for change and shifting. They also carry the potentials to keep you from moving forward and to keep you from being who you truly are. Fear is one of those dynamics that carries both an overlay energy as well as an underlying energy and it is how you perceive them, what you actually believe them to be for you, that determines how it presents itself to you.

What does this mean? You might be asking in this moment. How can I possibly be bringing myself this fear of being alone or this fear of becoming a beggar on the street? What would make me do such a thing?

Fear has been long used by the soul to focus an experience for learning.

For those who have been on their spiritual path for some time now you will know that you bring yourself various experiences and situations so as to facilitate the growth of the soul and to eventually bring your knowledge and experience to others in sharing. The path of ascension is about exploring the human experience and for much of earth’s history it’s been about learning and lessons and karma, healing the past by working through those old energies in the present. Working through what you have not been able to evolve and heal during your situations and experiences brought to yourself in another life. This has long been the cycle and now in this life, you are stepping out of this way of living your life and moving on to the next level.

Fear has been long used by the soul to focus an experience for learning. Feel the energy of this dear one. Fear has been a method of manipulating the human being to go into a particularly intense experience and to explore what results from that experience, particularly what judgments and belief systems arise from the experience.
