Fear and Time

2 comments

Fear depends upon time (for its existence). Without psychological time, fear would not be. Fear necessitates time; you fear, for example, what may happen in the future. That possible “future” is projected time (i.e., concocted time).

Additionally, the space between a psychological center and fear is largely illusory. When fear takes place, one is that fear… not something looking at it from a psychological distance. So when fear occurs, there is really no perceiving center separate from it. Some fears are necessary and beneficial, like when avoiding and circumventing a growling, ferocious animal. However, many fears are nonsensical and silly, such as worrying that some folks might say that one is rather stupid. A mind of order is not fragmentary; it doesn’t separate itself from fear and run from it. It learns regarding it, for — as it occurs — it is what one is.

My Blog primarily consists of close-up nature photos (that I've taken locally) combined with original holistic-truth oriented prose and/or poetry involving mindfulness/awareness. I love nature and I love understanding the whole (not merely the parts and the details). I'm a retired teacher of the multiply handicapped. I have a number of interesting hobbies, such as fossil collecting, sport-kite flying, 3D and 2D close-up photography, holography, and pets. Most of all, I am into holistic self-awareness, spontaneous insight, unconventional observation/direct perception, mindfulness, meditation, world peace, non-fragmentation, population control, vegetarianism, and green energy.

Stay mindful, understanding, and caring!...

    Well said. I have no future so I have no fear. I broke it down somewhat differently for a friend that was afraid of silly things they had created in their head. There is intelligent fear (driving in a storm you can’t see through) and wasteful fear. Things in their future that may never happen. Stunning photo!
