what is fear?

[native]

Bluebell's concept of pain points to something essential I think. As human beings we ultimately want to feel valued and recognized. So perhaps we seek control because we seek to be valued, and avoid pain and suffering. The concept of energy transfer, giving/taking, and Ra speaking of things bearing a cost or price is interesting. The green ray giving without return values the other over self, bearing a cost, ultimately culminating in indigo development where one learns to value the self and balance the self and other. It taps into the positive attribute of fear that isis talks about, where fear signals the barrier between being vulnerable and putting yourself out there showing who you are, or hiding. So I agree, fear acts as a motivator to develop faith and the self.
