    About this ebook

    Have you done some 'work' on your self but still have lingering doubts?

    Have you developed a Vision and set your goals but still can't make it happen?

    Are you wondering if there's something wrong with you?

    This is the second book in the 'Experiential Trilogy'. It follows on from the 'Foundation Trilogy' of books - BE, DO and FAITH. The question that it addresses is ‘How do you train your mind to let go of the fears that trouble you and block your path to being who you want to be and doing what you want to do?’

    I guess that one could say the books BE, DO and FAITH deal with the light side of being. They are full of tools to help bring out the best in us. But what about the worst in us? What about the things that plague our minds in the middle of the night? What about the emotions that grip us with an intensity that threatens to overwhelm us and make us do things that, in the cold light of day, we will regret? Can we really just ignore this side of our being? Can we really just ‘feel the fear’ and do it anyway?

    This book is a journey into the dark side of human nature. It looks at ‘What is fear?’ ‘How does fear corrupt the manifestation process?’ ‘What are we afraid of?’ and then ‘How do we face our fears, embrace them and release them?’

    Like the other books, it does not contain all the answers, but again it may just make you think.

    A.C. Ping

    A.C. Ping has traveled the World and lived in Australia, the UK, USA and Africa. He is the author of 8 books including the trilogy of personal development books BE, DO and FAITH that have been published internationally and translated into 11 different languages. Now available in E book form is the second 'experiential' trilogy of books 'A Place Where You May Find Peace', 'Release Your Fear' and 'The Self Mastery Toolbox'. "I've read all three of A. C. Ping's books in this "series": BE, DO, and FAITH. Now, I am going to re-read them all and try to put what I've learned into daily practice. Not that Ping is trying to give you 5 easy steps to enlightenment or anything like that... rather, he provides clarity and insight on many of the things that hold you back and drag you down, and points the way toward a healing, all-encompassing kind of faith--not limited to a particular religion or religion in particular. What makes Ping's voice so unique: He walks a tightrope above New-Age, Pseudo-Science, and Religion... but walks the tightrope exceedingly well. He never falls into the safety net of what has already been said a million times in a million self-help books. His voice is fresh without being trendy or commercial. He spices things up with the occasional curse word or two. He's down-to-earth, witty, and doesn't try to be your guru. He's more like a great friend who offers wonderful perspective and insight without coming across as a flawless, know-it-all. So rare!! I recommend these books highly! Start with BE, follow up with DO, and then feel the refreshing healing in FAITH. You won't regret it!" Review on Amazon.com For more information about A.C.

      Release Your Fear - A.C. Ping

      Introduction

      "You must train your mind

      to let go of everything you most fear to lose."

      Yoda

      Yes, it’s that little green man Yoda doling out advice again. This time he’s speaking to Anakin Skywalker – soon to be Darth Vader – who is having some trouble with the negative emotions his mind is producing.

      Now we know that Anakin subsequently loses the battle and succumbs to the ‘dark side’ but it’s good advice never the less. If you fail to control your mind you can be sure that you will fail to control anything else.

      This is the second book in the second trilogy that follows on from the foundation trilogy - BE, DO and FAITH. This second trilogy of books is about the specific issues that may stop you from being who you want to be. The question this book addresses is ‘How do you train your mind to let go of the fears that trouble you and block your path to being who you want to be and doing what you want to do?’

      I guess that one could say the books BE, DO and FAITH deal with the light side of being. They are full of tools to help bring out the best in us. But what about the worst in us? What about the things that plague our minds in the middle of the night? What about the emotions that grip us with an intensity that threatens to overwhelm us and make us do things that, in the cold light of day, we will regret? Can we really just ignore this side of our being? Can we really just ‘feel the fear’ and do it anyway?

      This book is a journey into the dark side of human nature. It looks at ‘What is fear?’ ‘How does fear corrupt the manifestation process?’ ‘What are we afraid of?’ and then ‘How do we face our fears, embrace them and release them?’

      Like the other books, it does not contain all the answers, but again it may just make you think.

      And how did this book come about I imagine you might ask? Well, since I wrote the book FAITH I have indeed been grappling with the gremlin called FEAR and all of the dark energies and negative little friends he travels with.

      If you have read the first book in this trilogy ‘A Place Where You May Find Peace’ you will know that FEAR came to visit me in Africa where I had gone to live on a beautiful farm at the base of the Drakensberg Mountains. I went there with a great vision and with a momentum of positive intent that I had gained from ten years of pretty much doing and getting exactly what I wanted. Before I went to Africa, I took the advice in BE and DO and did a little inventory of what my worst fears and doubts about my vision were. Number one on the list was getting badly injured and being at the mercy of the African medical system.

      Well… yes, are you squirming in trepidation about what you are about to read?? See how pervasive the little bastard FEAR is?

      Anyway… if you don’t already know the story let me bring you up to speed. I had been there about four months and all was going along pretty well. We were well on the way to turning the farm into an indigenous medicinal plant nursery and a retreat centre. Life was good. It was eight o’clock or so in the morning of a lovely warm spring day. I got on my bike to ride the twelve kilometres to where the retail nursery shop was.

      Half way there on a deserted country road, whilst travelling downhill at about forty kilometres per hour, the front axle of the bike broke. The front forks plunged into the bitumen, followed moments later by my un-helmeted head…

      When I regained consciousness I was sitting in the middle of the road in a pool of my own blood. A voice inside my head encouraged me to lie down and sleep, another screamed at me to find the cell phone and call for help. Luckily I was in cell phone range. I got hold of someone to help and then promptly passed out again.

      In the blur that followed I was picked up and taken to the local doctor who gave me adrenalin for the shock, anaesthetic for the pain, and then stitched me up and sent me on my way.

      My aura of invincibility shattered into a million pieces. FEAR became a very tangible concept. FEAR crept into my mind, made itself a home and then set about dismantling my grand vision one step at a time.

      Number two on the list of fears had been having a fallout with the local Zulus. A land claim, together with some very negative propaganda and a bit of witch doctoring took care of that one.

      Number three on the list was running out of money and losing everything…

      So, there I was – invincibility shattered, penniless, homeless and on the plane leaving Africa with my little friend FEAR now perched imperiously in the deepest reaches of my mind…

      And so the journey began.

      PART ONE - BEING AND FEAR

      Chapter 1 – The Gremlin in the Manifestation Machine

      "Everything can be taken from a man but one thing:

      the last of the human freedoms – to choose one’s attitude

      in any given set of circumstances,

      to choose one’s own way."

      Viktor Frankl

      So many times I have heard the catch cry ‘Feel the fear and do it anyway!’. I guess I might even be guilty of saying that myself. But what about if fear really has crept deep inside your mind and become a gremlin in your system? What do you do then?

      You might recall in BE I talked about another little guy called Mel – short for melancholy. When Mel comes to visit he is external and although he can plunge one into the deepest darkness I don’t believe he resides in the mind the way fear can.

      Most of us have fears that we just can’t quite get rid of. I’m talking about those nagging little thoughts that plague you just when you don’t need them. The ones that pop into your mind when you are just about to go on a first date, give a presentation, start a new job or any other activity that might trigger the awakening of fear. It’s as if there really is a little gremlin in your mind who takes great delight in sticking his foot out and tripping you up at the worst possible moment.

      Many strategies that deal with fear involve suppressing or controlling fear. But no matter how hard you try to do this you will still find, if you dig deep enough, that fear still lives somewhere in your mind. You might take him to one side, put him in a little cage or stuff him into a bottle and push the cork in hard. But sooner or later he will rear his ugly little head and start throwing spanners into the workings of your mind.

      So… let’s take a moment here and have a look at what fear actually is and then revisit the manifestation process.

      Fear is defined by the Oxford dictionary as ‘a painful emotion caused by impending danger or evil – a state of alarm’. Sounds about right to me. Fear plagues your mind because you react to something that is about to happen or that you believe may be about to happen.

      Some fears must be useful then? Surely it is a good thing to be afraid if you think you are about to be eaten by a lion? The fear will trigger adrenalin to pump through your system
