Ha ha repeating things to sound intelligent I like it! I'm kidding, but yeah that forum has some quality discussion surrounded by a fair bit of crap, like anything I guess. Cheers I'll read it now :smile:

My scenario here is not claiming that I choose to not fear anything, because that's impossible. It's just human instinct, survival.



it makes me wonder just how much we've misplaced our fear for survival in 21st century america. the fears we used to place on very real dangers are placed on little stupid things. this is probably the cause for all kinds of anxiety and depressive conditions. i think that without the proper teaching (psychedlics, meditation, exercise, etc) that fear will always be there and in strange places, until we realize that it's not real. being chased by a puma is real fear. not having any food to clean water to drink is real fear. these fears are there to get us to stay alive. once a fear is placed on something that has nothing to do with survival (term paper), it's not really there i think.

the fear of hurting someone/something else though I think is just as real as the fear for survival. we may not need to be a good person in order to survive, but we need it to have our consciousness clean.  maybe the whole concept of afterlife and paying for your karma upon death is what make us fear for doing harm, and if those concepts are real, then that fear is real fear.

as animals we have the real primal fear of dying, but as 'highly' conscious beings we have a whole other level of fear on top of that, imo. just a thought.

Fear is the root of many (all?) illusions, I agree.

And I don't believe in an afterlife, or karma in a supernatural/superstitious sense (if someone's being a dick and they feel guilty about it or even get punched in the face for it, that's what karma is to me) but I still try to be a good person for the sake of it. And I'm sure there's plenty of other people who're the same way. Or I like to think there are.

I think if someone needs God, or fear of the afterlife to be a good  and decent person then by all means, don't let me or anyone else talk them out of it. :lol:
