When we place our awareness on Fear-Based beliefs and thoughts, our awareness is in the lower or ego-mind level. We are concerned only with getting our own self-interests satisfied. This means getting security; getting enough sex, food and stimulation; and getting power through being right, manipulating people, claiming territory or getting more possessions, prestige, fame, recognition or achievement. On this low level of consciousness—which is where most people in the world spend most of their time—we are primarily concerned with getting rather than giving. All of these positions are based on fear, the fear that there won’t be enough to go around, that we won’t get our fair share, that our rights may be violated, or that we won’t be accorded recognition or prestige. While beliefs and thoughts on this lower level of consciousness may appear to bring temporary pleasure, they almost never produce lasting happiness or satisfaction.

Keeping our awareness on fear-based beliefs and thoughts leads us to think about past memories which trigger either guilt or resentment. Alternatively, we may entertain concern or worries regarding problems that we imagine may confront us in future. We feel constantly threatened and fearful and we make plans to defend ourselves against every contingency that may arise from the hostile, threatening world we perceive around us. We tend to view other people as rivals and our minds are filled with constant chatter as we judge and condemn others.

Amid such chaos, inner peace is impossible. By perceiving everything in our lives through a filter of fear-based beliefs, we see everyone and everything as a threat to our comfort, security and possessions. We feel separated and alone from other people and we are at the mercy of the entire gamut of negative emotions.

These destructive feelings keep our fight or flight response constantly simmering. Our bodies exist in a state of tension and emergency with ail systems GO. Glucocorticoid secreted by the adrenal glands shuts down part of the immune system. Blood is also drawn away from the skin and mucosal areas in the nose and throat and directed to the large body muscles instead. When we feel negative, the mouth becomes dry and the acidity of the nasal mucosa is reduced, lowering our resisting to invading viruses.
