The Insidiousness of Fear

[jafar]

1. What is Fear?

Fear is like an 'alert' an 'early warning notification' that something which threatened your survivability is happening or might potentially be happening in the future.

2. Manifestation of Fear

There are many, too many too count but herewith some example:
- Fear of danger
- Fear of the dark'
- Fear of death
- Fear of suffering
- Fear of poverty
- Fear of losing wealth / currencies
- Fear of rejection
- Fear of abandonment
- Fear of losing jobs
- Fear of invasion
- Fear of losing attention

- Fear of losing a sport match
- Fear of losing a game
- Fear of banned by forum admin
- Fear of not ascending to 4th density
- Fear of God/Deities
- Fear of Superior / Bosses
etc...

3. Who Created The Fear?

Fear NEED TO BE CREATED, we ourselves created the fear that will be experienced by ourselves.
Specifically it is the mind who created the fear by scanning the environment and deduced what is happening now and interpolate what will potentially happened in the future whether there's something that is potentially threatening and need to be presented as 'warning'.

4. Threat To Whom?

This is an intriguing aspect of it, it's related to the 'thing' that you identified yourself with.
It can be a threat to:
- Your physical identity / persona (The persona that you see in the mirror)
- Other physical identity / persona (My friends, my lovers, my children, my parents, my associates etc..)
- Game Identity / Persona (in context of playing games or VR simulation)
- Movie Identity / Persona (especially in horror movies, where the audience is experiencing fear due to potential danger faced by a character inside the movie)
- Abstract social concept (our religion, our ethnicity, our race, our nationality, our territory)
- Abstract entity (my prophet, my god, my deities, my alien etc..)
... and many other things that one identify itself with.

The summary is fear is related to IDENTITY.
Without identification object/thing there will not be any fear that can / need to be created.

5. What to do, when we're troubled by the fear that we ourselves created?

Many options:

1. Just change the channel if you don't like it..


2. Enforce Stillness (similar to #1 above)


3. Enjoy the fear (like in enjoying the horror movies or roller coaster ride)



6. What is the potential benefit of experiencing fear?

1. It can avoid the danger that is happening or potentially happening to the identity that you've identified yourselves with. When appropriate action is being taken.
2. It can act as a trigger to know / experience COURAGE. Through properly addressed fear, courage can be experienced. Without fear courage cannot be found / experienced.
3. It can be used to control others, if one has objective / goal of controlling others that is. By first experiencing the fear yourselves you will have a point of reference on how other would react when given certain stimulus (Threat) thus a mean to control or at least influence other entity's action and emotion through FEAR.
