Fear

FEAR

Why do we fear?
Why is fear used against the populace?

FEAR=ATTENTION=ATTRACTION
What we fear, we give attention to.
What we give attention to – we attract.
If we give more attention to fear then we give to love, then we will attract more fear than love.
So, why would we give attention to FEAR?
It is crazy, yet we do it.

We do not have to fear anything. And why would we?

FEAR is our enemy, when we fear something we are in irrational state of mind.
And, if we are in such state – we make wrong decisions that PTBs benefit from.
Fear is perfect tool that is used to control us.
so, we should drop the fear without a question.

fear is a magnet for negative.

why should we fear one worst possibility out of infinite number of possibilities?
that is just crazy and totally counterproductive, except for the controlling elite.
yap, there are infinite number of possibilities -- yet we pick a worst one?!
do you see how crazy that is?

I wondered why we never see good news on TV. Negative, vile, horrible, spirit tormenting shit, is always on TV, but NEVER spirit lifting ‘soul food’.
Why is that?
I am pretty sure that crises of fear is created by PTB to control the populace
by making us attract negative. And, if we do fall for that – they take our energy that we have given them by succumbing to fear and they create even more fear, with our energy.

so, the only solution is to understand the process and not to buy into fear.

visualize the life you want, then work on creating it as such.
after all, the most important thing is to create the life that you want to live.
align your thoughts with your deeper truths, try to live by those truths.
and, if someone is unable to see your point – do not force it, they have their own path, their own level of development.

Great post King.

All is one, so what is there to be fearful of ? Yourself ?

We can not be controlled, only manipulated, if we allow it, and lies, pain fear are the tools that are used to manipulate.

With LOVE.

[gordonfreeman]

Wow, thank you for sharing that. It will surely help.

[a fine naked fellow]

Fear is only our enemy if it is real. Fear is also not negative.
Fear is merely pointing out to you where your beliefs don’t fit.
The irony is of course when people are afraid of fear. :cool: :p

[limelady]

Lovely post thanks King!

People fear because just like performing seals, they have been trained to fear everything....even themselves.

I agree with everything you wrote.
To be free we must release ourselves from the strangle-hold of fear.

[lookfar]

Great post there King, as usual :) I totally agree & thanks for sharing to help reinforce it. I'm working on creating mine.

[Ian2day]

Fear is the preconditioned response to external stimuli. What I mean by this is that a physiological change takes place when we are subjected to stressor's. These stressor's are created in this constructed society as a way and means to control us all. By implanting fear from a young age, via the different mediums available.

We are conditioned to respond. When ever these triggers are used. In such a way. As to want to defend ourselves from the big bad bogey man. They have learn. Over a long period of time. Just what to teach and expose us to. So they are able to create 9 times out of 10. A conditioned response from us. One example of this. Is the collapse of the twin towers, and how it is utilised to sell the war on Terra.

Or blind to their own fear, seeing it instead reflected in others, and mistaking that external projection as the source of their dis-ease

[phoenix1]

Two words...........NO FEAR

FEAR is their key, don't let them put it in your lock in the first place, then, they cannot "twist" their key in YOUR lock.

Anyone still in fear here...do the "inside work" SEE THEIR ILLUSION and UNDERSTAND IT, and leave it with no sustenance.

Hi king,

This is so true........the TV just churns out Negativity and gives us a totally unbalanced view of the world........that’s why It's best not to watch it.

Great post king...............:)

Peace

Right and fantastic.
Our focus on fear is but a trifle, its not love over fear. Fear was never real in the first place.
Its knowledge and wisdom prevailing over ignorance and delusion.

Your emotions are all fantastic, and fear not the least.
They give you a width and breadth you do not even know you posses.
Honor your fear, its there to sever you, not you it.
Know your fear, know your self, know your emotions, know the spectrum.

Happy times

Great post King and all, I totally agree, fear nothing, because there is nothing to fear. I have a bit add on a hormone/chemical level

Our bodies produce a hormone by the name of Oxytocin, this is the "love or cuddle" hormone, and is at high levels when we fall in love nad has a pivitol role in bonding relationships. Interestingly it as also shown to counteract Cortisol the "fear" hormone.

extract from http://www.answers.com/topic/oxytocin
Actions of oxytocin within the brain

Oxytocin secreted from the pituitary gland cannot re-enter the brain because of the blood-brain barrier. Instead, the behavioral effects of oxytocin are thought to reflect release from centrally-projecting oxytocin neurons, different from those that project to the pituitary gland. Oxytocin receptors are expressed by neurons in many parts of the brain and spinal cord, including the amygdala, ventromedial hypothalamus, septum and brainstem.

* Sexual arousal. Oxytocin injected into the cerebrospinal fluid causes spontaneous erections in rats (Gimpl 2001), reflecting actions in the hypothalamus and spinal cord.
* Bonding. In the Prairie Vole, oxytocin released into the brain of the female during sexual activity is important for forming a monogamous pair bond with her sexual partner. Vasopressin appears to have a similar effect in males [1]. In people, plasma concentrations of oxytocin have been reported to be higher amongst people who claim to be falling in love. Oxytocin has a role in social behaviors in many species, and so it seems likely that it has similar roles in humans. It has been suggested that deficiencies in oxytocin pathways in the brain might be a feature of autism.
* Maternal behavior. Sheep and rat females given oxytocin antagonists after giving birth do not exhibit typical maternal behavior. By contrast, virgin sheep females show maternal behavior towards foreign lambs upon cerebrospinal fluid infusion of oxytocin, which they would not do otherwise. [2]
* Various anti-stress functions. Oxytocin reduces blood pressure and cortisol levels, increasing tolerance to pain, and reducing anxiety. Oxytocin may play a role in encouraging "tend and befriend", as opposed to "fight or flight", behavior, in response to stress.
* Increasing trust and reducing fear. In a risky investment game, experimental subjects given nasally administered oxytocin displayed "the highest level of trust" twice as often as the control group. Subjects who were told that they were interacting with a computer showed no such reaction, leading to the conclusion that oxytocin was not merely affecting risk-aversion (Kosfeld 2005). Nasally-administered oxytocin has also been reported to reduce fear, possibly by inhibiting the amygdala (which is thought to be responsible for fear responses) (Kirsch 2005). There is no conclusive evidence for access of oxytocin to the brain through intranasal administration, however.
* According to some studies in animals, oxytocin inhibits the development of tolerance to various addictive drugs (opiates, cocaine, alcohol) and reduces withdrawal symptoms. (Kovacs 1998)
* Certain learning and memory functions are impaired by centrally-administered oxytocin. (Gimpl 2001)

So it would appear that Love counteracts fear, quite literally within our brain.

[limelady]

Nice post garth!

* Certain learning and memory functions are impaired by centrally-administered oxytocin. (Gimpl 2001)

So does this mean love may make us a little doo-lally too?

Perhaps this is what is meant by being 'love-sick' :D :D :D

[lookfar]

Nice post there Garth :)

Been reading a bit on oxytocin in Nexus recently, its great stuff & the way to go I reckon!!;) And if it combats fear then everyone should aim to produce more of it!!:D

Thanks for sharing.

Why do we fear?
Why is fear used against the populace?


The reason we fear is that the thinking mind looks for security first. The human mind actually actively seeks out information about possible dangers. So it's a simple trick used by mass media to get the populace's attention by predominantly feeding the thinking mind with information about possible dangers since both the conscious and the subconscious absorb that kind of information like a sponge.

It's important to understand that to actively not to seek information about possible danger is like not trying to think about a pink elephant.

[Anders Lindman]

By implanting fear from a young age, via the different mediums available.

We are conditioned to respond.

Yes! We have been conditioned to fear. And in the past some of that was needed in order to survive. But that age-old conditioning seems to have grown out of proportion, like a cancer growth, so that our entire social foundation is one built on fear. Not only does an excessive preoccupation with fear steal our energy, it is also still an effective tool used by manipulators.

[Anders Lindman]

Fear is a part of suffering, therefore henceforth we can make a distinction between suffering as fear and suffering as non-fear. This is a clever trick that reveals fear as one side of the coin called suffering. Fear cannot exist without the other side of that coin.

[the norseman]

Anders,

I think you are right and your raise some valid points.

I think fear is just a mechanism to control. We have been conditioned to fear since the beginning of time, first by the church etc and now governments through the media.

It is interesting but have you ever watched the Crocodile hunter steve irwin "manipulate" a crocodiles behaviour with a stick? He would get up real close by just holding a stick on the crocodiles nose. He was taking advantage of the crocodiles primative thought processes ie he knew that if he placed the stick on that point of the crocs nose he could do almost anything he liked. With humans albeit we are more complex fear is that afformentioned stick.

I remember watching the Crocodile hunter and thinking if the croc knew that it was only a man holding a stick then he could do what he liked - if we can awaken the public to the fact that the fear is only a perceived manipulated threat to cause the collective public to manifest a particular behavour then it would go a long way.

You say that there are 2 sides to the coin but I would have to say there are 3, the other is ignorance which accompanies fear - many people are ignorant that their fear is due to manipulation and misinterpretation - they have been conditioned and they are ignorant to the fact they are not powerless. Fear is used to make the masses demand a particular outcome. The powers that be know the response the public will illicit - the people do not realise that they do not need to turn to the government for protection as it is the government we need protecting from in many instances.

[Ian2day]

Yeah it's all cause and effect. They effect a response in the public's perception of reality such as 'please protect us from xyz...' Which is caused by what ever diet of fear that is consumed.

It don't have to be a real threat, just a perceived threat. Once they know how to cause the perceived threat. Then all of the elites formed their little clubs to control en mass the populace of the world. In recent time they drew up the rebuilding America's defences document and then set about achieving that goal. Anyone that don't go along with the current goal is excluded from the club. As in Bushes statement 'you're either with us, or with the terrorists'.

[Anders Lindman]

You say that there are 2 sides to the coin but I would have to say there are 3, the other is ignorance which accompanies fear

Excellent point. Yet ignorance causes confusion which is a state of suffering. Thus ignorance can be included in the non-fear side of suffering. :)

[lemonique]

There are no negative emotions, only negative reactions
Fear is not a negative emotion.
Feeling fearful is natural, but allowing fear to dominate your actions and decisions is limiting.
Fear is really only a call for help.

Poem
It is not a matter of destroying fear,
but of knowing it's nature and of seeing it
as a less
powerful force than the power of Love.

It is illusion.

Fear
is only looking in the mirror and making faces
at Oneself.

good post. it is somewhat intriguing the subject of fear, because of various reasons. one is, that it can become alive in our everyday lives, become literally us, that we later regret, or we can have a direct experience of this when we perceive an altered reality. another is, because it is a force that it is natural in all sentient beings, or else we wouldn't be able to continue our life experience in a particular form.

i think that what we pay attention to, we open its probability in our reality, thus we tend to experience and eventually attract physically as well. and we do experience it with the emotion that we invested in our conscious or not-so-conscious attention.

so, the question is, why fear? i mean, why sign an emotional investment on a possibility with fear, so that when that possibility becomes reality you will be able to experience that emotion? because we can't eliminate fear, or stop giving attention to it, because it does not exist. we are its source and we emit it, we use it, we face it and we experience it. when i fear, the universe does not. i am the source and the experience.

the only way we stay alive, is because we don't spend our whole day in constant fear, subtle fear that exists only because of thoughts and not because of immediate existent danger, that takes life from our spirit.

[Anders Lindman]

so, the question is, why fear?

Psychological fear is a result of thinking about future suffering. Simply change the way you think about the future and the fear will dissolve.

that's the fear of life, that i was talking about in another thread. it's the flipside of the fear of death, same thing. it's all about the attitude in the end.

so, my question is; where is mind, in relation to you and me?

it sure seems that mind is never in NOW, it sure seems that is either in PAST or PRESENT.

and, it seems to always alternate between those two points and this makes us miss NOW.


your thoughts?

this is right on the money; if i told you have to give up some of your freedom in exchange for your security -- chances are you will go for it, unless you understand how game is played
and only if you are willing to accept the ugly truth behind it
(which many are not).

that is exactly what happened after 9/11, as it did countless times through out the history.
so, there is historical evidence that what you said is absolutely true.

oh, and i think that PTBs target more our subconscious minds than conscious.
I see reprogramming of subconscious mind like writing data or new code/program to the hard drive while feeding information to conscious mind is more like volatile memory/RAM that is lost on next reboot.

So, if they can reprogram subconscious then we begin to think as they want us.

that is why there is enormous amount of movies with murder, blood and gore and a very few spirit uplifting movies.
same goes for rest of the garbage that they feed us via other media and "entertainment".

I came to the realization that if i see/read/hear something that i do not like because of excess violence, blood or dehumanization -- i better put an end to it by not watching/listening/reading it.

I do not have to hear all "gory details" because it will do no good for me or the sufferer. Instead, i need to channel that energy in a positive direction, something that sufferer and myself, ultimately humanity can benefit from.

Just imagine if everyone was like Alex Jones?
what would be the reason to live then?

your thoughts?

Psychological fear is created by limitations in the thinking mind's problem-solving capacity.

[Anders Lindman]

Psychological fear is created by limitations in the thinking mind's problem-solving capacity.

And psychological fear creates a dumbing down of the brain which makes the thinking mind even more limited. Don't believe people who say that psychological fear is natural and needed. They only want you to remain in a state of fear because you can more easily be manipulated that way.

Instead, the way out of fear is to focus on personal desires. Don't believe so-called gurus who say that desire is the opposite coin of fear and always leads to suffering. Either they don't know what they are talking about or they try to push down your personal individual desire so that you can more easily be controlled and manipulated.

[Anders Lindman]

Instead, the way out of fear is to focus on personal desires.

Most of our desires are dirty, meaning they are contaminated by suffering. Healthy desires are clean. The opposite of a healthy desire is not fear, nor is the opposite of a healthy desire any other form of suffering. The opposite side of a healthy desire is peace.

[a fine naked fellow]

Nah, I don’t feel like elaborating today, ask me later.

[Anders Lindman]

The opposite side of a healthy desire is peace.

Then what about the desire for peace? Some people even use alcohol and other drugs to achieve brief moments of peace. The answer is that the desire for peace and peace itself are not the same thing.

Desire is for something in the future. If a person does not experience inner peace, then obviously peace is something desirable. If, on the other hand, a person is already in a state of peace, then the desire for peace is no longer needed.

Peace is something experienced in the present moment. Desires are for things in the future. Therefore peace itself is not a desire. Instead, peace is the opposite of healthy desires.

[Anders Lindman]

Nah, I don’t feel like elaborating today, ask me later.

lol. good answer.
