Fear

Fear is a tool, you can either use it or be consumed by it. Fear is integrated in every being created. It gives us a chance to survive, yet it so consumes us if not careful. Do not be afraid of fear or ignore them but rather embrace and control your fear use it and don't let it use you.

"Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hatred leads to suffering...but what the Jedi failed to teach you, what I have learned, is how to persevere, to through the suffering, and achieve ultimate power!" Count duku

Star wars has great quotes on fear, as the sith uses the darker emotions that the jedi supress to overcome and empower them. However most end up losing the battle of control in the end. Fear is not wrong if you know how to control it.

"Fear. Fear attracts the fearful, the strong, the weak, the innocent, the corrupt. Fear. Fear is my ally." Darth Maul

The more powerful one becomes the more afraid and paranoid one becomes. There are ways around this however, just be humble lol. Really though this is where shadow work comes into play. Be honest about your fears and face them don't avoid them or be arrogant in the face of fear for we all fear.

"To believe in an ideal, is to be willing to betray it. It is something no Sith or Jedi has ever truly learned.” — Kreia.

What I have learned in my life is that with each idea, religion, moral, and philosophy is that sometimes you need to distrust that lesson. You do that because is one does not then they will never know their own truth. How does this relate to fear? Simple, to trust in something one is blind to the fact it might be wrong or at least wrong for you. So learn and keep learning, do not submit to the fear of it being wrong. Keep learning and trust in your heart and mind of if it's wrong or right for you.

"I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.”

— Nelson Mandela

"You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do.”— Eleanor Roosevelt

It takes great courage to do shadow work and work on yourself, trust the progress it's ok to be afraid. But face your fear and do the work yo be a better you. You can do this, we all can. Don't suppress ypur trauma and your fear but embrace and use. Learn from the sith, do not be arrogant but control it.

"Fear of self is the greatest of all terrors, the deepest of all dread, the commonest of all mistakes. From it grows failure. Because of it, life is a mockery. Out of it comes despair.”— David Seasbury

"If you look into your own heart, and you find nothing wrong there, what is there to worry about? What is there to fear?”— Confucius

"The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown.”— H. P. Lovecraft

"Your focus determines your reality.” —Qui-Gon Jinn

"Train yourself to let go of everything you fear to lose.” —Yoda

Most of the time your greatest enemy is yourself. To do spells, in my experience one must have a great deal of faith to make them. Also we all experience imposter syndrome as witches, it's life. Face that fear and see ylur truth, do not be afraid of yourself but embrace your shadow.

"Let the past die. Kill it if you have to.” —Kylo Ren

Kylo Ren is a great character from the sequels, you can fight me on this if you wish. All joking aside this man has a great point, let the past die. Embrace it yes, accept it happened but grow from it. To do so, again, means ypu must face your fears.

"You can’t stop the change, any more than you can stop the suns from setting.” — Shmi Skywalker

I fear nothing. For all is as the Force wills it.” – Chirrut Imwe

"Now I know there is something strong than fear — far stronger. The Force.” – Kanan Jarrus

Change is natural as natural as birth, death, and regrowth. As Shmi said you can't stop change, it's like swimming in a powerful current ypu can't fight it and drown or let it guide you to where you need to be. When you accept that then your fear doesn't affect you any longer. And that makes you powerful, when you face your fear and defeat it.

"Des felt a familiar feeling in the pit of his stomach. All soldiers felt the same thing going into battle, whether they itted it or not: fear. Fear of failure, fear of dying, fear of watching their friends die, fear of being wounded and living out the rest of their days crippled or maimed. The fear was always there, and it would devour you if you let it. Des knew how to turn that fear to his own advantage. Take what makes you weak and turn it into something that makes you strong. Transform the fear into anger and hate: hatred of the enemy; hatred of the Republic and the Jedi. The hate gave him strength, and the strength brought him victory. For Des the transformation came easily once the fighting started. Thanks to his abusive father, he'd been turning fear into anger and hate ever since he was a child. Maybe that was why he was such a good soldier. Maybe that was why the others looked to him for leadership." Drew Karpyshyn, Path of Destruction (Star Wars: Darth Bane, #1)

" The dark side is emotion, Bane. Anger, hate, love, lust. These are what make us strong, Peace is a lie. There is only ion. Your ion is still there, Bane. Seek it out. Reclaim it." Drew Karpyshyn, Path of Destruction

"The dark side will devour those who lack the power to control it. It’s a fierce storm of emotion that annihilates anything in its path. It lays waste to the weak and unworthy. But those who are strong can ride the storm winds to unfathomable heights. They can unlock their true potential; they can sever the chains that bind them; they can dominate the world around them. Only those with the power to control the dark side can ever truly be free.”–Darth Bane

"And you rage and scream and reach through the Force to crush the shadow who has destroyed you, but you are so far less now than what you were, you are more than half machine, you are like a painter gone blind, a composer gone deaf, you can where the power was but the power you can touch is only a memory, and so with all your world-destroying fury it is only droids around you that implode, and equipment, and the table on which you were strapped shatters, and in the end, you cannot touch the shadow. In the end you don’t even want to… In the end, the shadow is all you have left. Because the shadow understands you, the shadow forgives you, the shadow gathers you unto itself—And within your furnace heart, you burn in your own flame.” quote from the Revenge of the Sith novelisation

All these quotes prove the same thing, it's ok to fear, lust, be angry as long as you don't allow such emotions to control you. However if you supress them you are much more likely to burn and fall like Anakin did. Fear is natural ypu just gotta work out the why's and face them.
