"Pooja, congratulations on your book. I also want readers here to access past conversations on the FM ning around your work; go to https://fearlessnessmovement.ning.com/forum/a-panexperientialist-vi..."

Hello... I have been working on a theory of consciousness and the experience of fear forms a important part of my understanding of consciousness. I'm glad to be sharing my ideas on this group. An excerpt from my book about fear is as follows.....…

Hello
I am writing a book on my own model of consciousness which basically pertains to panexperientialist view about the world. A human is defined as a collection of selfs, each struggling to exist by way of interaction with the external entities.
I define emotion as the process of struggle between the selfs.
An emotion is how an entity is present in the vicinity of a particular stimulus or how it escapes from the vicinity of the stimulus.
Like other emotions, I see fear as one that enables the entity to flee or escape from the vicinity of the stimulus.
I will talk in detail about the process of fear in my book, but also in the near future (Jan 5) when I meet Mr. Desh Subba personally in Surat India.
About fearlessness, I think one can be fearless only by understanding what fear is for, not by worrying about fear of what. I think once we understand the purpose of fear, all kinds of fears will be seen as the same.
I am also interested in how fear leads to anger especially.
Love is the empathetic relation between two persons. When one is in fear the other may also learn about the other's fear and is likely to be fearful too. I think to be fearless is an understanding which arises from within the person, whereas love can propagate such awareness to add to fear or fearlessness.

Hope to talk to you more,
Regards,
Pooja Soni
