I continue to ruminate on power as the antidote to fear to the point where I suspect it is pre-exposure impact of a subliminal you are completing. I see that fear is a power state created by the ego for the purpose of survival of the self and it is an error to allow this to govern actions since that part of the self is only one aspect, a item of content, in consciousness which is already at a lower power state - it can't have true power.

My current understanding that power can be elevated through the pitch and frequency of consciousness, when this happens fear is like a sugar cube in the ocean.

Fear is a minor tool employed by the item of consciousness which is the ego; when power is low, the ego has greater sway and uses fear to enhance power at it's frequency, looking to manifest it in denser planes of existence. The more it has sway the more it makes real the very entropy it is driving us to avoid. I won't say more on this, you probably know already or have already passed by this part of understanding.  

It can be said though though fear has a useful physical component, bringing the body into line and ready for action, desire and fear are in the body. The physical grounding of these aspects in the body doesn't have to have its conceptual aspect, the conceptual aspect can easily be replaced by arousal and focus.

I don't know truthfully if any of that is right, but it's what I'm getting at the moment.

I am having a hard time following you because the ego is not what I find at the root of fear.  Perhaps we are not using the same definition, but I find fear always originates from the instinctual lizard brain, which I find is below the level of awareness required for ego.  How does this fit within what you are saying here?
