What is Fear - Survival Based Consciousness         "Know Thyself"

RECOGNIZING WHEN YOU ARE IN FEAR BASED CONSCIOUSNESS

All the possible thoughts and feelings which represent fear-survival based thinking cannot be listed here.  The following are a representative sample.  By understanding the following, you will figure out the rest of your personal fear based thoughts, as you continue to be aware.  Anyone of the following thoughts can be appropriate and even necessary and can guide proper action.  But when you find you have a pattern, a consistency of seeing things through these thoughts, you have and continue to create, a fear based, self protective consciousness.

This could be considered Daily Unconscious Fearing rather than Daily Conscious Loving
