Fear\u00a0is an\u00a0emotion\u00a0induced by a\u00a0threat\u00a0perceived by living\u00a0entities, which causes a change in brain and organ function and ultimately a change in behavior, such as running away, hiding, or freezing from traumatic events.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Fear may occur in response to a specific\u00a0stimulus\u00a0happening in the present, or to a future situation, which is perceived as\u00a0risk\u00a0to health or life, status, power, security, or in the case of humans wealth or anything held valuable.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The fear response arises from the\u00a0perception\u00a0of\u00a0danger\u00a0leading to confrontation with or escape from\/avoiding the threat (also known as the\u00a0fight-or-flight response), which in extreme cases of fear (horror and terror) can be a freeze response or\u00a0paralysis.<\/p>\r\n
Danger, which causes our survival instinct to trigger, is a very real and healthy fear and is part of our survival system. This is the instinct that exploited by some and taught by others to control us. Once you are aware that your survival instinct is being triggered you can respond with the appropriate reaction. Navy Seals and many others are taught how to identify, control and master fear to perform tasks under life threatening (and thus survival mode)\u00a0conditions. The good news is you can learn to master fear just as they have.<\/p>\r\n
Fear however is most often the illusion that something may come to pass. “I\u2019m afraid to climb the ladder because I might fall.” \u00a0“I\u2019m afraid to give the bum money because he may use it for drugs or alcohol.” \u00a0“I’m afraid to speak up because I might look stupid.” “I’m afraid to confront this situation because I don’t want to hurt the other person’s feelings.”<\/p>\r\n
As you make a conscious decision to move out of a fearful life into the loving world you have to pass through the zero point.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
To pass through the zero point its imperative that you understand a few key concepts.<\/p>\r\n
