takeit4granted: just from my perspective,,I see fear of failure suppressing someones ability to achieve,,for me,,its always been a motivational force
When we perceive anything it is from the mind of the ego. Perception is always changing, therefore the meaning is never the same. The ego is seen to be insane because of the lack of constancy. This world that we 'made' embodies the ego. Everything in this world has a beginning and an end. Nothing here is lasting. Ego is synonymous with fear so would be equated with perception, insanity and unreality.
Love is not something that is perceived. Love is constancy and never changes. Love is eternal and of the Spirit. The Spirit is a Creation of God or of the Supreme Highest Intelligence. (many names)
I could get more into the Divine but I would be symbolically crucified and I want to live until I wake up tomorrow. And, to be perfectly honest I'm getting kinda tired.
(and, I have a feeling that you know all this, anyway.)
Fear and excitement elicit the same physiological reactions in the human body. Moreover, as a threader has already remarked - if a child dies in a movie, emotions well up. Or, the thought of a child dying makes emotions well up. The human brain has the same reaction to what happens 'in real life' as it does to the memory of an event. Which event has 'actually' taken place?

cheers I like this thread
I agree, I would also say that you are not born with fear, it is learned. but as you grasp what is possible in life, realities and pain, give you a sense of what fear is, most fears you can overcome, for instance, I do not fear anything personally, except going to hell....But I am fearful for people such as a child, you fear them hurting themselves, or walking out in traffic, etc. etc. Many times I wish I could take someones place, because I know I can handle what they are going through, where as I don't feel they can or are handling it(more or less) If a family member has a broken bone, or cancer or something, I would rather be the one suffering then, to watch them suffer, it hurts me more to watch, then it would if we just traded places...
In response to: Every aspect of human life is governed by fear. Some unconscious or superconscious individuals may not agree with that. Any comments?
I agree with the author of this thread.

Nothing in this world is real. This is a world made by the ego/fear. We have 'made' a world of things and illusion. The body we 'made' is only a means of communication. Pain is ego based. Pain is not real but only perceived that it is. Since we have chosen to be of the world, our senses perceive pain and fear. When we are in touch with our Spirit we experience Love which only knows Joy, Freedom, Life, God, Eternity. Our Spirit Mind communicates with the Holy Spirit and through to God. Our Ego Mind dictates to the body and stays within the realm of the world here. We can listen to the Mind of the Spirit or we can listen to the Mind of the Ego. We are given the will to choose which one. It's always a choice between the two. The voice of the Spirit is quieter than the voice of the Ego. What we don't realize is that the Spirt holds Reality, Truth, Knowledge, Creation. Not the false illusions of the ego with the conflicts of the world.

So there.
So profound, so precious and deep are your words. Thank you for sharing with us your thoughts.
Like springs pushing towards rapids and into rivers, Your words will build oceans of knowledge, one day.
My grand daughter stayed with me for nearly a year. she lives in Kuwait with her family there but I was given the priviledge to have this time with her. She has asperger's - a form of autism. She would come up with extraordinary insights and I would say to her, "Willow, where did this come from??" She would say, "I don't know, it was just in my mind."

sambhava: I do agree with what you've written, it's just that every time I do strive to enlighten others they get offended. In fact when I tell them that they're being mass-conditioned, mass-duped, mass-poisoned and mass exploited by their own governments they get get very angry indeed...Best to remain silent, don't you think..?
Sure, many and I would even say that most, get very angry when we attempt to enlighten them, but there is always someone who will receive it. You never know who may be watching and listening from behind the scenes, who will experience the great awakening due to your efforts. Also, we must be careful not to be sucked into their useless arguments. State the facts, then leave it at that. We do not have to prove anything, just plant the seeds of the idea. Someone else may come along and water. Once they have heard the message, they are accountable to it. It is up to them what they do with it. One day, the scales may fall from their eyes. In that moment, they will remember every word you have said and it will become clear.
Never remain silent! But do use discernment. Better to bow out gracefully than to be provoked to argue. Ask for those to come across your path who are hungry, ready to hear and learn, those who are like sponges who will soak up all you say and take it to heart. Your JOY will be filled to overflowing as you bring enlightenment to them.

Dusty45: Our information may come from different seemingly sources but the content is pretty much the same. Nice to have another One that understands. When we apply this Mindset, it is, at least easier for us to move along with our Life.
Thank you Dusty!
Glad to be in agreement with your mindset! See, we really are not all that different. As we gain deeper insight into one another, we find that there is much more common ground than what we first believed from our initial surface scan.

Fear is, in fact for me too, a positive raw emotion. For without it's munificence one may not perceive the ideologies beginning it's debacle, an aspect of relative importance to any individual. Religious or not!
Again, for the individual, fear is a single emotion concatenated between motivation and capitulation. My likeliness of the quote above.
Personally, I deplore those whom succumb to it's manipulations, and even more, those whom implore it's malignance.

Well said, but wtf does that word mean? I'm too lazy to google that...big word there my man lol...
Anyways, fear is BS! There is no such thing as fear until you let it into your head and emotions. Fear is created in your mind.
It takes a deep understanding to be immune to fear as well as a simplistic yet complicated perspective on things. Dare I say 'I don't give a F**k' attitude in some ways.
