Theos-Talk Archives (October 2002 Message tt00077)

Dear Gopi:

If one is an IMMORTAL then there is no fear. The Consciousness
(the EGO) continues and reincarnates .

Fear relates solely to the ignorance of the Personality -- the
Lower Ego ( Kama-Manas).

All fear relates to the “unknown.” It is augmented when in the
past we have done something wrong and we know it, have hidden it
and fear it will come into public view. Psychologically we ought
to investigate the source and roots of this knowledge that is
innate: of the difference between RIGHT and WRONG.

Where does that come from?

Best wishes

Dallas

Hi Dallas and Larry,

>From what I see, there are two types of fear; one of survival and
the other psychological.

The fear of survival is built in as a survival mechanism; as an
example if we step on a rope in the darkness we might jump
thinking it is a snake. That is good. If we see a bright light
the eye lids close and the pupil shrinks. These are all naturally
developed survival techniques by the evolution of the species.
That is the instinct.

The second type is psychological, for example after jumping from
a rope in the dark we might sweat out of a secondary reaction.
This serves no purpose what so ever except causing reminiscences
of fear. That psychological fear like all the other second hand
living plays with Maya and serves no purpose in the evolution.

Gopi
