[NOTE: I just found this in my unpublished blog written in late 2016, for some reason it never got published; I'll leave it unedited--as relevant to our times today or not--you can decide]

Indeed, it's a "crazy" time in America right now. Many here are completely dismayed at the killings of police and police killings of mainly black men and on and on... Black Lives Matters protests, and the list is long but "terrorism" is everywhere to put it bluntly. You sort of have…

INTRODUCTION

I am not going to try to explain my Fear Management Theory (FMT) here in this short blog post. I more wanted to just make some noise in all the silence and/or hoopla in the post-Nov. 5 epoch of what in my mind is an event so grand as to "change everything"--and, I do not say this hyperbolically. I'm very serious. Nov. 5 will make 9/11 look like a pimple--but, that is what I envision in years to come [1]. History is being radically re-constructed…

No Matter Who Wins?


Just to say hi to all here. 

Just to say, no matter who wins the US election tomorrow? 

Just to say, at some level, there is only one winner in that country

Just to say, that one winner is fear. 

That's why long ago, 

in Canada, 

I set up the In Search of Fearlessness Project. 

Just to say, at some level, there is only one winner 

Just to say, it is there awaiting

Just to say, it is…

Love: A Fearlessness Perspective

I just found this quote the other day by an eminent artist-existential philosopher and important voice in the history of discussion about "what is love?" and what is the role of love. Not all may agree with Camus. But can we understand Camus intelligently and with critical reflection and making arguments about this quote? I leave it here as a FORUM prompt for us all.  My impression of the quote is that it speaks a lot of (dialectical) truth. Now, what does dialectical mean? It is a methodology…

"Fearless Movement" (for those battling epilepsy)

Interesting to see how "Fearlessness" (as a movement) can take various forms, with various fear management paradigms, and interests. I have just now discovered there is a website called "Fearless Movement" (for those battling epilepsy): https://www.fearlessmovement.org/og-getinvolved I wonder, if such folks attracted there, would ever be interested in an expanded view of the fearlessness movement that they too want to tap into?

A Meditation To Dispel Fear

A Meditation To Dispel Fear I’d like to provide a little handcrafted meditation that I use to dispel fear. Try it out! —- Sit comfortably and relaxed with eyes closed.  Breathe naturally. Imagine yourself submerged under the surface of a vast ocean.  Take a few moments to notice the current. It may be strong or it may be calm. Simply take notice and allow the water to carry you without resistance. Sit with this for a while until youve reached a point of comfort and calm. Now, take note of the…

God Cares About Fear

[Note: I wrote this draft some 5 years ago or more... it was stored on "MY Page" here, so decided to make it a Forum piece, today. It is incomplete...] God Cares About the Role of Fear   You can see I am on a roll with this theme, of who (what) cares about the role of fear. It seems a basic way to bring the philosophical, theological, theoretical and practical issues of a big part of the Fearlessness Movement to the table. Inviting engagement in this discussion, one that societies do not…

  • R.Michael Fisher On the one hand yes, I agree; on the other hand, such a situation is a good booster for us when we get a little lazy with our fearlessness!

R.Michael Fisher commented on R.Michael Fisher's blog post Bernie Sander's "Bring the Whole World Together"
"So, Nov. 5, comes and goes, Nov. 6 comes and goes; I'm on a media (virtual reality) fast at the moment myself. But, I now have heard from others the election result. What is Bernie going to say now? "

To listen to U.S. (independent) senator, Bernie's words just tonight, before the election voting: he speaks from a whole lot of experience. 
It's worth a listen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8N4Sgk5HTE
