Unpacking Fear Through the Lens of Beliefs and the Symbolic Alphabet
Fear is a powerful emotion that shapes how we experience the world. It often feels like an automatic reaction, something that just happens to us. But what if fear is not just a random feeling but a direct result of the beliefs we hold? Dee Wes’s Symbolic Alphabet offers a unique way to explore this connection by breaking down the words Belief and Fear into their symbolic components. This approach reveals how our inner world of beliefs influences the way fear arises and how we can better understand and manage it.
A representation of how Fear & Belief fuels our passion.
Understanding Beliefs Through the Symbolic Alphabet
The word Belief can be unpacked using Dee Wes’s Symbolic Alphabet, where each letter represents a concept:
b – Boundary
e – Energy
l – Angle
i – Self-identification
e – Energy
f – Frequency
Each of these elements contributes to what a belief is and how it functions inside us.
Boundary suggests that beliefs set limits or define edges around what we accept as true.
Energy appears twice, highlighting that beliefs are not static; they carry dynamic force.
Angle implies perspective or the way we view the world.
Self-identification shows that beliefs are tied to how we see ourselves.
Frequency refers to the vibrational quality or pattern of the belief.
When multiple beliefs come together, they form a belief system. This system gains an additional letter, s, which stands for essence. The belief system becomes more than just individual beliefs; it forms a personality or identity that others can perceive.
How Frequency Connects Belief and Fear
The last letter in belief is f, representing frequency. This is significant because the word Fear begins with the same letter, F. According to the Symbolic Alphabet:
F – Frequency
E – Energy
A – Ascent
R – Existence
Fear can be considered a frequency of energy rising within a person’s existence. This rising energy is not random; it is connected to the beliefs that shape how we interpret and respond to the world.
Fear as a Response to Future Possibilities
Fear always relates to something that might happen in the future. In reality, the present moment is all we truly have. Our imagination allows us to project ourselves into the past or future, creating scenarios that may or may not come true. The quality of these imaginings depends heavily on our belief system.
For example, if someone believes that public speaking is dangerous or humiliating (a belief with strong negative energy and frequency), their imagination will likely create fearful scenarios about upcoming speeches. This fear is a frequency energy rising in their existence, as the Symbolic Alphabet describes.
Navigating Fear by Understanding Beliefs
Recognizing that fear stems from our beliefs gives us a powerful tool. Instead of reacting blindly to fear, we can examine the beliefs behind it. This process involves:
Identifying the boundary of the belief: What limits or rules does this belief set?
Noticing the energy: How strong or charged is this belief emotionally?
Observing the angle: What perspective or viewpoint does this belief represent?
Reflecting on self-identification: How does this belief connect to your sense of self?
Understanding the frequency: What pattern or vibration does this belief create in your experience?
By breaking down beliefs this way, we can see how they influence fear and how changing or adjusting beliefs can reduce fear’s intensity.
Practical Example: Overcoming Fear of Failure
Consider someone who fears failure deeply. Their belief system might include:
Boundary: Failure means worthlessness.
Energy: High emotional charge around failure.
Angle: Viewing failure as a final judgment.
Self-identification: Defining themselves by success or failure.
Frequency: A recurring pattern of anxiety and avoidance.
Understanding this, the person can work on shifting their belief system:
Redefining the boundary to see failure as a learning opportunity.
Reducing emotional charge by practicing self-compassion.
Changing the angle to view failure as temporary and not defining.
Separating self-worth from outcomes.
Altering the frequency by creating new, positive experiences with challenges.
This shift changes the frequency energy rising in the person's existence, reducing fear and allowing more confident action.
The Role of Imagination and Awareness
Imagination is a double-edged sword. It can create fearful futures or hopeful possibilities. The key lies in awareness—knowing when imagination is influenced by limiting beliefs and choosing to redirect it.
For example, before a big event, instead of imagining worst-case scenarios, one can consciously imagine success and positive outcomes. This practice changes the frequency and energy, influencing the emotional experience and reducing fear.
Building a Healthy Relationship with Fear
Fear is not something to eliminate but to understand and work with. It signals areas where beliefs may be limiting or misaligned with reality. Awareness is key.
