Ra basically equates 'love' with 'logos'. So primarily love is that which provides for any manifestation (light). Our personal understanding distortions (we as sub-logos) then automatically focus this love for experience. For example, the experience of the unconscious reaction of fear. So 'fear' literally stems from 'love'.

Love as an emotion is not the same as love the principle. When you have an emotion, you have an unconscious reaction - incomplete information that suggests an attitude for the ego. If you reduce love to an emotion, then you have an accepting attitude, but one which is still subject to the unconscious. The mind creating that loving emotion is one that, while positive, is still volatile and will actively separate due to imbalance.
'Being' is a state of completeness. It exists on a more primary ontological level than the ephemeral emotions or any motivating catalyst.
'Love' exists regardless of some personal reaction to what it allows. Therefore if one explains that 'love' is the 'opposite' of fear, then that 'love' must be in the form of another unconscious reaction - 'apples to apples'.

That is, it won't be eliminated any more than surprise or, say, irony would be eliminated. But the causes or opportunity and form of the fear would change to suit the much broader experience and awareness of one's nature. My guess is that given that 4D context, it would certainly not be the compelling emotion we have here in 3D - if only because with that much consciousness, there is less potential for misunderstanding, attachment, or identification and therefore the ego would have much, much less to lose.
