Fear is manipulation.
Only conscious beings are capable of manipulation. Therefore manipulation is not part of base reality (if there is one). Which means fear is not part of base reality.
Fear is a creation of your consciousness due to the influence of other manipulative consciousnesses. You are fearful because you have been told to be so. Whether it’s out of protectionism from a parent, or out of authoritarianism from an aspiring ruler.
If you are fearful you are being manipulated.
If you are fearless, are you then in total control? Do the fearless see the base reality? Can they drift with it? Can they flow effortlessly free of manipulation? 🌲🏔️ (This is why I feel time in nature alone is so powerful).
Nobody can ever be totally free of manipulation (as our individual realities are just mental creations of the manipulation in each of our lives, ie. our sources of information). But, if our goal is to seek base truth, then the more fearless you are… the closer you are to it.
Death, and the fear of it, is manipulation. Nobody ever fears their birth! Your newborn consciousness hasn’t yet been told to fear this eternal process.
The process is simply ongoing, forever changing, action/reaction, fear has no place in it.
And if we can create our reality, by influencing the process through selective observation and belief, then the fearless have unlimited ability to create whatever they want… ie. Minecraft in creative mode.
Or it’s all a simulation, in which case nothing really matters then anyway. So fear is pointless here too. We would be simply a process test bed for a higher intellect, and our fear is a programmed response.
I choose to live my life in creative mode, not survival.
