Fear

[zenmaster]

When did Fear first show up in the process of Creation. What purpose does it serve?

The purpose of fear is to artificially create more distance or separation between the seat of consciousness (ego) and some mental concept. Great explanation here:

Of course, the negatives seem to put all of their focus on fear, which is why they rely only on themselves and not others. They don't trust anyone. I suppose in that sense fear is a means of negative polarization

Negatives rely on fear as a domination tool. Knowledge is power. If they can encourage fear around an idea, then there is more potential for misunderstanding and confusion, thus more potential for manipulation or control. They of course, do not focus on fear themselves, otherwise they would not understand or polarize.

Being self-reliant has nothing to do with negativity, of course.
