Congratulations for the 2023 dissertation specializing in fearology, by the ethical philosopher Michael B. Eneyo of Nigeria. This is the first in the world fearology doctorate achieved formally in academia. It was accomplished at the University of Calabar, Nigeria. Entitled: ‘An Existentialist Explanation of Fearological Ethics.’
Although, I have yet accessed…

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…
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?
Read more…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…
Read more…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…

At least in my estimation of things.

R.Michael Fisher Thanks Yahweh for this image. Fearlessness is a branch of experience flowing in and through the negative and into the positive and back to the negative and back to the positive in an ongoing cycle. I'd show the flow with Fear (on the negative…

I found this image, and I added this text.
Is our frantic search for authenticity (our true self) driven by fear?
I think so.

A colleague of mine wrote recently to me (suggesting I maybe do a Book for Dummies on FEAR):
"There has to be more widespread popularized information about fear. There’s not a person who could not identify with fear. yet we have a phobia about fear…

Yahweh Hi! Don't call me a dummy for reading the book.

Hi! Its hard to have fearlessness with Trump in control.

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!
