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.
