Shannon's Journal Discussion Volume 3

[Shannon]

Shannon,

Another thing to note while working on fear with 3.3
Some of us might consider fear as safety mechanism or an indication of danger.

If that's true, I fear some of us may consider the fear removal script as the most dangerous script.

Hence reverse that even further more?

I hope I am just looking at this in a wrong way.

The approach I am using with this will defeat even that little game, when I get it scripted properly. Hopefully I have already done that.

The issue with that point of view is that fear isn't an indicator of danger, it is a response to the perception of danger, and it is not necessary. As I have said before, walk to the edge of a skyscraper and look down. Do you need fear to tell you not to jump? No, you need to engage your intellect and understand what the consequences of that action would be, and then rationally choose between certain death, or safety.

Your basic argument here boils down to, "I'm afraid of letting go of fear, because it keeps me safe." But it doesn't keep you safe, it just keeps you locked up in a mental prison that you created to not have to think and use your brain, because it's less work.
