Fear - version 0.3
------------------

- A feeling of helplessness coming from one's subconscious and causing emotional and physiological distress.

In Psychology: A very distressing emotion caused by a series of physiological reactions that occur when the individual
is faced with danger, whether real or imagined.

- "Fear is the shadow of illusory disconnection." - David Icke



Characteristics:

      Origin: From the sense of separation caused by a shadow of disconnection ("wall") lying between infinite Consciousness
      and its imagination.

      Fundamentally, is always in relation to the unknown:

            - According to its origin, fear is due to a "wall" or "veil" of illusion blocking one's view of what is lying on the
            other side (unknown).

            - "All fear is fear of the unknown."

      - Is a prerequisite for victims of energetic parasitism.

      Types:

            Rational:

                  - Fear as a natural response for self-preservation when there is a real chance of danger. See Survival.

                  - Is proportional to the degree of the danger.

                  - In reality, is only the least irrational form of fear, because all fear already implies irrationality.

            Irrational:

                  - When fear escapes control and overrides one's ability to think rationally.

                  - Can be counterproductive in a real dangerous situation.

                  Panic:

                        - Extreme irrational fear that is generally accompanied by physical symptoms such as heart palpitations,
                        shakiness and dizziness.

                        Etymology: From the Greek "panikon" meaning "pertaining to Pan".

                        - Is highly contagious, easily affecting groups of people or animals.

                  Phobia:

                        - An intense irrational fear of a specific Object or situation. May cause hysterical reaction.

                        - According to Neurology, is caused when memories stored in the Amygdala trigger an instantaneous,
                        almost unconscious physiological response that happens even before the person becomes conscious of the
                        situation. The memories are generally from past traumatic experiences.

                        Acrophobia: Fear of heights.

                        Agoraphobia: Fear of leaving a safe place and facing open spaces and/or public places.

                        Claustrophobia: Fear of enclosed and/or confined spaces.

                        Thanatophobia: Fear of Death.

                        * and many more...

      As a psychological disorder:

            - Chronic or persistent fear that is diagnosable as an anxiety disorder by Psychiatry. Is responsible for prolonged 
            emotional disturbances that restrict the ability of the individual to function normally in a society. Example: 
            panic syndromes.

            Can be treated:

                  According to Psychology and common sense: The best solution is to face it.

                  With Psychotherapy: Facing fear by gradually increasing exposure to the feared Object in a controlled
                  environment.

                  With medicaments:

                        * Anxiolytics
                        * Antidepressants
