By By Steffan Ileman Sep 8, 2011 in Science Should we fear Comet Elenin, Nibiru and other celestial phenomena and speculation? Is there a scientific basis for fear and fearlessness? Richard Hoagland claims the comet represents another plot like 9/11 to create mass fear (video). He had 360-degree vision, and he could drive blindfolded. He could see the human aura and detect disease before it manifested physically. U.S. scientists tied him to machines while they drove skewers through his body to understand why he wouldn’t bleed, scar or feel any pain. The first and only time he bled was when a doctor said “Gee, how can you do that? Aren’t you scared?” He said blood started gushing from his arm when he started thinking about how he did it and if he should be scared. That should give us a hint or two about the dual intelligence that runs our bodies. He told an audience at the University of British Columbia that he had literally lost the shirt on his back twice and, according to medical science, he was too crippled in his heel to be walking. He said he doesn’t only walk a lot, but he loves to dance. He told us that most people spend their energy worrying about the future, and he was the best example of why they shouldn’t be afraid of anything. Is there a science of fear and fearlessness based on facts most of us could agree on? They say that the fear of death is the root cause of all fears. It doesn’t make any sense. One of the first things we learn as kids is that everyone’s sojourn on this planet is temporary and that we’re all on borrowed time. If that’s a fact, and you haven’t yet cracked the code for immortality, it just doesn’t make any sense to fear what’s inevitable. Ultimately nothing really matters in “this” lifetime. Billions of people have passed through this planet, and what were their biggest problems and fears at that time don’t matter to them anymore. Fear is a survival mechanism built into the human race that was supposed to keep us out of harm’s way and help us survive dinosaurs, creepy things, and other menaces in the environment. Today it’s become the biggest threat to the survival of the species. Fear runs the world economy, starts wars, justifies mass murder and abuse of power by governments, and makes people do all kinds of irrational things. As medieval author Machiavelli said, a ruler can completely control his subjects if he manages to rule by fear. Machiavelli’s “The Prince” is still the gospel for politicians and power-mongers around the world today. If we fear something that is under our control, and we can do something about it, then fear has done its part for our survival. It doesn’t make any sense to fear anything that is not under our control. Since fear impairs our judgment, however, and renders us irrational and manipulable, we have to watch out for misinformation where other parties stand to benefit from our reaction to fear. When was the last time you were stuck in an elevator with a life insurance salesman? There’s a good reason why people cannot think rationally when they’re scared, since fear debilitates them mentally and physically. Scientists are beginning to suspect that fear is a biological process fed by chemicals in the brain, somewhere in the amygdala area, perhaps what is called the caudate nucleus. Once the process starts, our imagination pumps more chemicals into the system by creating a vicious circle of imaginary doomsday scenarios. As I discovered in junior high school, the only way to stop the process is by confronting the subject of the fear head on. One of my biggest fears as a kid was the needle. While kids were screaming and fainting all around me, I discovered that it didn’t hurt as much as I’d feared if I volunteered to be the first in the school inoculation line. I was flying to Las Vegas with a friend when we had some serious turbulence and I saw my macho friend turn pale. I started laughing when he said I must be just as scared as he was. He went paranoid after I told him, as an “airline expert”, that getting scared wouldn’t keep the plane from crashing and, in any event, it sure beats wasting away from disease in a hospital. I still haven’t recovered from my sister’s death in a Vancouver hospital after Canada’s Dr. Mengele pulled the plug on her life support. Her biggest fear was dying of cancer and she manifested her worst fears by making the wrong choices. Unfortunately mankind hasn’t discovered a palatable way of exiting this world, and whether it’s a big bang or a disease, or a comet crashing to earth, all methods of exit look scary and undesirable. I asked my chemistry and physics teachers in high school what power held the molecules together. They said they didn’t know, but they knew about the manifestations of that power that forms the subject of chemistry and physics. Then I asked my biology professor what life is. He said “The best definition I can give you is that life is the absence of death.” These answers were not good enough for me, and they set me on an endless quest for the truth. Science still doesn’t know what is or what causes life, and their definition of death and its causation are circumstantial at best. It’s evident to me that we have an inner mind and intelligence in all of us that hold our cells together and give them life, and this life force leaves when the body can no longer accommodate it. This suggests to me that we should at least accept the possibility that our inner being is immortal. It’s a fundamental principle of classical physics that energy is neither created nor destroyed, but is transformed from one form to another. What distinguishes our energy from other forms of creation is that ours is a conscious and creative energy. When I asked Jack if one can leave his body without going through the transition he said “You are never completely in your body anyways.” Fear is a vampire that feeds off our life force and has been deliberately unleashed on humans throughout history to turn them into monkeys and slaves. It often sets off a self-fulfilling prophecy. Just look at the stock market and how it operates by greed and fear. If you’re not scared that your livelihood and future may be in the hands of a bunch of screaming monkeys and scheming gorillas, you have no reason to be scared of a comet. Speaking of the future, it should now be obvious to everyone that the future always remains an illusion created by our minds. There’s only one reality, and that is the eternal now that we live in. We can overcome most of our fears if we can live in the present moment, and if we can properly take care of ourselves now without wasting our energy on illusions created by the monkey mind, the future will take care of itself. “The only thing to fear is fear itself.” Franklin D. Roosevelt One of the most remarkable people I’ve ever met was Jack Schwarz, a person with extraordinary abilities and with an extraordinary modesty about it. Born in Holland before War World II, Jack joined the Dutch Resistance during the Nazi occupation. He was captured by the Gestapo and tortured. During torture he had a spiritual experience that stunned and apparently scared his captors, and they let him live until he was liberated at the end of the war.He had 360-degree vision, and he could drive blindfolded. He could see the human aura and detect disease before it manifested physically. U.S. scientists tied him to machines while they drove skewers through his body to understand why he wouldn’t bleed, scar or feel any pain.
