Seek and ye shall find. And once you can stop seeking for awhile its time to put that new knowledge into practice eh?

Yes!  It takes strength and PUL, and it means to stop living from the lower perspective of fear, that's for sure.

Well men, let me be completely honest and share a woman's perspective of fear.  What I do is pathetic but eventually it works.  Not the prettiest method, but I'm not perfect!  I am such an emotional and sensitive person that when I deal with my fear and emotions I have to really delve deep into feeling what I feel.  I end up crying deeply, suffering deeply, and I lose all my energy this way.  Then before it feels like I want and will just die from pain, I finally find a way to stay alive.  The only way I know to do that is through feeling love.  It doesn't change my circumstances, it doesn't magically make my problems go away.  But it's the only thing left to do at this miserable point, so I feel love and let it build.  I think of the opposite of my fear, think of what I want to have instead of what I fear, and let the feeling of love build and grow until I'm experiencing actually feeling the feeling of PUL.  And it feels powerful!  Probably more so because I had to rise up from the depths of misery and the stark difference feels so good to feel. 

It's the same concept as what Bruce teaches, but he's a guy, an engineer.  Like I said, my method isn't pretty but when you have to put up with emotions it's just what you have to put up with.  As far as replacing fear, I can't say I can do that permanently, but I can do it in the moment.  And when it comes to every-day life problems and real-life deep pain, I just do what I can in the moment of sitting quiet, after suffering, then try to allow the feeling of love back inside me, try to let it grow.  It's like tricking yourself.  You know the pain and problems of life and of the heart still exist.  But if you can allow yourself to feel love, and I mean really feel it, then you can at least for the moment turn your focus of awareness toward that energy state at the moment, even though you know that the energy state of fear still exists.  But the point is, it can only affect you if you put your focus there.  As long as you can focus away, onto love, the fear isn't affecting you at the moment.  It does feel like the same thing as it not being there anymore.  So the only permanent result you can achieve is if you can constantly achieve feeling love.  So far I can't.  My life's issues can swallow me up sometimes and the fear, pain, and sadness hits me.  But so far the process has worked to help get me back to feeling love.

I know I'm speaking in everyday life terms here.  I have not yet had (thank goodness) any nonphysical experience against dark forces in which I have needed to use PUL as a weapon.

I saw part of a documentary yesterday where a couple of guys met a new ager and he talked about his views of fear and made some good points about it. The thumb and pointy finger touching he used as a mental and physical reminder to let fear pass through him. Neat mental picture and sounding but it doesn't examine or increase understanding about fear or what is feared to be able to deal with it permanently.

What ultimately made me leave new age religion and alien inspired material ten years ago was what I felt was the near total refusal to examine and talk about the dark side, one's personal and the general nature. Important issues weren't dealt with. Seeing another documentary today about how work define the lives of some people, a lawyer couple talked about their experiences. Good hearted and really hard working couple. The firms partners, like alligators skimming the waters in broad daylight, talking very coldly about how their employees should sacrifice themselves for work. The partners of course are at the top of that pyramid.

Use me, abuse me - it's what I commonly see with people having functioning heart chakras. During my light and bright years I thoroughly feared the dark and fear itself.

Since you brought up Alan Watts, just kidding.

I was jokingly starting to do what you get defensive about.

People are mis-educated about fear, more so today than in the past. From childhood, people are brainwashed into believing they are scared when they are not, they are just having physical sensations. Nearly all people who think they are feeling fear are not; they are feeling the sensations of adrenalin and cortisol in their bodies which are released when a potential threat is perceived. That does not mean they are scared, anxious or fearful, it just means the body is working as it should. We are taught that these hormones are fear hormones, and that their sensations should be distressing to us; in fact they are strength hormones and when we thoroughly realise that, then their sensations are comforting to us and provide us with a great sense of personal energy, confidence and calmness.

It is wrong education and mass brainwashing that makes us believe we are weak and fearful, rather than strong and ready, and it is perpetuated by the overall victim industry, including the current victim laden ideology ingrained in psychology and sociology, legal defence, compensation industry, the whole education system, parenting education programs, the feminist movement, and many other sub-movements and industries which teach false fear and gain from it. The end result is a semi-neurotic society. Some individuals are so convinced they have anxieties and phobias that they spend their lives within narrow limitations, when what they really have are the sensations of strength hormones and a physical body working as it should. These people are victims of the victim industry's false education.

True fear is not felt physically. It is very subtle and felt in the soul, deep within behind the physical fear. True fear usually runs contrary to physical fear; and its prompting upon us is in a different direction. If we follow the course promptings of the physical fear, we are likely to later realise - in a quiet time when our soul's will is discernible to us - that we would now be more satisfied with our self if we had acted differently and not followed the promptings of the course physical so called "fear" but had instead listened to and followed the higher and more subtle promptings of our soul. The physical so-called "fear" is in fact the strength provided to us to do what our soul would do. This is the meaning of the biblical phrase "fear God" and "be a God fearing man". It means listen to the true fear, the fear of disappointing our soul, and realise the sensation of physical "fear" is in fact the energy of strength to do whatever our soul expects of us. Physical fear must be converted though, like through a catalytic converter, from what we perceive as fear, to strength. It is converted by realisation of what it really is - strength, and then through usage and practice.
