I'm reading a very good brochure on how to deal with fear...it's also available online on freefromfear.com. It has various techniques-22 total!- to help you deal with your various fears.
But you may think- "great, what this has to do with me? I'm not a chicken, let those who have nothing better to do waist their time for such rubbish"...If you think, fear is not part of your daily life experience- think better, I urge you!
Consider the following line taken from this brochure-"Fear RUNS MUCH OF THE WORLD, spurring on endless activity.Fear of enemies,of old age, death, or rejection, and a multitude of social fears are the basic motivators in most people's lives" . this is famous David Hawkins, from his book "Power vrs Force". And if you still feel- "So what's wrong with that? That's quite normal, I guess- especially if it's so common"-here's the GOOD NEWS-
ONE CAN CONSCIOUSLY CHOOSE TO TRANSFORM HIS PERSONAL LIFE, stepping out of the low vibrations of fear and with that HELPING TO RAISE THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF MANKIND!!!
How so? Well, D. Hawkins explains in his book, that as a result of series of experiments, that were conducted over a 20 year period, using a variety of Kinesiology tests and examinations, the following was established (I'm bringing only the most essential info here)
-Collective Consciousness- experiments reveakl that there is a Higher Power, connecting everything and everyone
- Everything calibrates at certain levels, from weak/ low to high, including animals, plants, inanimate objects.
- Hawkins calibrates people's emotions from levels 20 up to 1000. All levels(vibration levels) below 200 are said to be EMOTIONALLY DRAINING., and BELOW INTEGRITY.
These vary from Shame(20), Guilt(30), Grief(75), Fear(100), Desire (125), Anger (150) and up to Pride(175). People feel positively when they reach Pride, however, it feels good ONLY in CONTRAST to lower levels! Pride is defensive and vulnerable, because it's DEPENDENT upon EXTERNAL CONDITIONS, without which it can suddently turn back into lower levels.
NOW, WATCH THIS - it's VERY IMPORTANT!!!
-85% of humanity calibrates below the critical level of 200.
-The overall average level of human consciousness stands at 207.
Human consciousness was steadily below 200 for many centuries(at around 190 the average)-
BEFORE IT SUDDENLY ROSE UP to it's present level in the mid 80-s.
And if you ask me- hold on, but 85% are below 200- so how we get that over-200 average?
HERE'S THE ANSWER-
THE POWER OF THE FEW INDIVIDUALS AT THE TOP COUNTERBALANCES THE WEAKNESS OF THE MASSES!
-1 individual at level 300 (willingness) counterbalances 90,000 humans below 200
-1 individual at level 500 (Love) counterbalances 750,000(!) humans below 200
-1 individual at level 700 (Higher states of Consciousness, like Prophecy, Enlightenment, etc)-
counterbalances 7 million (!!!) individuals with vibrations below 200
In other words, WE CAN REALLY EFFECT THIS WORLD IN A VERY SIGNIFICANT WAY!
In my next post, I will try to address this question from more Judaic perspective

I must admit I am quite sceptical about any attempts to quantify psychological and/or spritual qualities - especially when such quantification does not involve any contact with the "subjects", doubly so when people being quantified are from generations past. Is it smart to sum up the totality of a person's character using just one quality, even if it happens to be dominant (however that is defined)? Isn't it possible to be exceptionally loving, and yet experience a persistent feeling of guilt or grief at the same time? And how can one determine that one of these qualities is to be given greater weight than others? I am all for finding creative ways to combine science and spirituality, but this particular theory strikes me as a clever bit of pseudo-science combined with equally questionable spiritual pretensions.
My apologies - didn't mean to sound so negative. I'll redeem myself by adding a couple of thoughts on a much more positive note (and closer to the subject of your post...)
When it comes to the subject of fear, one passage in the Tanakh that has always fascinated me is Psalm 112. It seems to suggest that there is in fact a proper place for fear; that yirat Hashem (fear of G-d), when understood properly, makes all other fears simply unnecessary. (I am no expert in Biblical Hebrew, but it looks like variations of the same word are used in several places in the mizmor.) Also, one could argue that in the B'rit Chadashah, Yochanan continues this idea and takes it a step further in his famous passage "There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear [...]. The one who fears is not made perfect in love." (1 Yoch. 4:18) (Reuven, I am willing to bet that you know this passage from the epigraph to Aquarium's album "Den' Serebra" ;)) The way I read it, he is saying (among other things) that fear can only be an indication of our failure to grasp either a) Hashem's omnipotence; or b) His absolute love for us. Our realization of G-d's goodness and love for us elicits, as a natural response, our love toward Him, as well as toward our fellow humans, and in that state of mind our fears become silly, small and insignificant.
I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on this. Again, good luck with the blog!
