Natural Fear
Today’s topic is fear, and I have spoken about it before. Today, I intend to speak a bit more positively about fear. Hopefully, it will be a constructive line. Fear is the ability to recognize danger, and as that, it is a natural and proper aspect of human consciousness and instinct. But like most, if…

Your Fear Ally
Fear is a fundamental part of life’s meaning, and fear and love are not opposites. Instinctively, we have both emotions as a part of a dynamic that has been called biophilia. The brains neural net is much more plastic than they originally thought, and the frontal lobes can have a moderating effect on all other…

Fears Blind Spots
Fear can be trained in kung fu to be awareness of set point and twitch point. When you twitch vs. the other person’s twitching. Indeed, kung fu is a good way to train your fear, and it is a good practice to train your fear. Your fear doesn’t actually want to do you any harm.…

Fear And Love
Fear and love are complementary opposites? Love and fear are complimentary facets of the same crystal. The important realization is that your mind doesn’t really have parts. It’s your thinking that creates the appearance of separateness. Like really clear quartz you can see through, the front of the stone is not the back. The angle…

Helpless in the Face of Fear
What do we most fear? I think most people would say that we fear many different things, but I would not agree. Pain. Helplessness… Fear is not something we can shape or directly control, so yes, too late, you are already helpless in the face of fear. You live with it every day. It usually…

Pushing Through
Shall we go into happiness as it relates to fear, or insanity as it relates to fear first? I vote insanity. End on a high note! Good advice. Insanity it is. As I said, you are your fear. The thing you fear most is yourself. Your brain is constantly on guard against anything being wrong…

The Reason We Fall into Insanity
The reason we fall into insanity, the reason it is seductive, the reason people never see it coming, is this pain makes you feel more alive. People never run away from the insane to start. They actually stick around until it’s too late and an emotional scar is formed. They call these scars beliefs. When…

Too Much Sanity
Being autistic myself, I am on the other side of that spectrum. I have in a sense too much sanity because some important and useful skills were unable to develop. Shall I go into that as it relates to today’s topic on fear of self? As a contrast to insanity? The sensitivity is there. The…

Can You Face Happiness?
If I can face insanity, I can go beyond it and also understand others. But can you face happiness? I am not sure people can. It’s much more frightening than insanity. Shall I go into this? We experience happiness when our fear process is turning up baseline signals. We experience a sense of satisfaction with…

Being Confused
What if you just haven’t a clue who that self is? It’s just too confusing. You have all the clues. Your confusion, that is you, and people reject those confused moments, think they are just distractions, and that everything will be all right if they just get back to work. The clues are confusing me then.…

Need to Feed
The infant metaphor… We come to understand our bodies through our sense, and the first sense we come to trust is our sense of motion. We stop feeling like we are falling down a bottomless pit when we begin to recognize patterns in pressure. That there are things that remain consistently in place when we…

Starting the Social Transition
So moving on… I have covered the core elements. The foundation, the social transition, starts out the same, we are at first in a state of free-fall, we have no sense of social recognition, no sense of social feedback or pressure. We have only the sense of mother, or we start the social transition with…

My Emotional Transition
Ever hear of imposter syndrome? The person trains themselves so well in keeping up with expectations that no one in their social group can find any fault, but they themselves even come to the point of having anxiety attacks because they feel they are faking it. That they are lying to everyone. What makes us…

How Was Your Emotional Transition?
Anyone else want to share an example? Does this model not relate to your own experience? And if not, in what way does it fall short? For me dream = model. It’s why you dream anyway. It is virtually identical to mine. Can I take a stab at how yours differed? Except that I was…
Category: Fear
Fear can serve a life affirmative purpose, and if it took only its natural shape, that is the only purpose it would ever have. The evils that feed off of fear in our minds have their origin in the frontal lobes, in the supposed center of reason. Whatever your phobia and anxiety, you do have a reason for it, though you also may have a conditioned denial of the reason.
One who fears nothing, loves nothing. What you can do is come to watch fear very closely. Live with it and not as it.
