Question:
When I reach the state of pure being or gap while meditating – I introduce my intentions there. I try to be detached to my intentions. But sometimes , a related thought with my intentional goal pops up while I am introducing my intention. This related thought is of fear and doubt.
This related thought comes just after I have introduced the intention. It just happens that I have been in the gap, enjoyed the bliss…and when I introduce the intention, thoughts of fear and doubt surround me.
In this scenario I totally get lost. My meditation is not that good and I lose my peace.
Answer:
When thoughts of fear and doubt arise, don’t engage them or resist them. Acknowledge them as the by-product of clearing out some of your old mental conditioning. When you stir the silence of the gap with your intention, it will dislodge and release some of the impediments that are blocking the free flow of your consciousness. That is what those thoughts of fear and doubt represent. You don’t need to give them any attention , simply recognize that something has been released and it’s time to return to your intention.

If thoughts influence what happens, isn’t it a normal reaction to fear your fearful thoughts, as that they
might attract the very thing you are fearing? How does one deal with this?
