A Question For You

Only you can answer this question, and only answer it if you feel it is directed at you.

What Are You Afraid Of?

What is it? An ideal, a monster, a state of being? It could be anything. Spiders, nukes, 2012, aliens, the Devil, whatever.

Tell me what pops in your head first.

I'll start:

I'm afraid of falling asleep, and never waking up, with no afterlife whatsoever.

The fear of God

is the beginning of Wisdom.

I'm afraid of indefinite reincarnation, remaining ignorant and confused for eternity. Also afraid of fear itself, because it is a rather useless feeling, and only destroys the person who fears and increases the power of what they fear. Luckily I've managed to mostly disassociate fear and other emotions when necessary, almost all the time.

Heights. That's about it.

No afterlife, that would suck!

I am afraid of snakes, in real and on TV.
That's one of the reason why I love my country, no loose snakes here !

That's about it.

That is one thing I am afraid of as well. I have always wondered if that is why I have insomnia so bad. I am also afraid of nuclear weapons. They freak me out so bad. I saw some movie from the 80s about a nuke attack in the midwest and I didn't sleep right for a week. I have dreams about them and it's just scares the crap out of me. I don't like reading threads about them at all.

I am also afraid of spiders and flying. Spiders just creep me out with all their legs....Flying scares me because if it crashes you will most likely die. I have to fly 4th of July weekend and I am scared to death! I haven't flown in years but I will be flying a lot in the coming years and I have to learn to death with it or just get totally blitzed on the flight

The dark. Well not the dark really. It is the unknown. I mean aren't we all afraid that there is a probability that anything could happen at any moment with no explanation why?

I fear having never done anything. I fear going thought life doing the 5 to 9 and never making a difference.

I want to be part of something.......something great. I want to carry the flame.

I also fear I will never find my soul mate.

Myself.

I guess "fear" feeds from doubt and ignorance. The more clouded your mind is, the more afraid you are.

Namaste.

There is not much I am afraid of much but...

I am afraid that there is no outside help coming to help us help ourselves out of this ever spreading global mess and those that are here that we see often in the skies are not actually here for us (you and me) but are here for the elite and themselves.

Bizarre ‘in the air’ inferences by way of “I am the herald” (long story) is all well and good but I am afraid to my soul that the inexcusable carnage, the misery and the intolerance that washes against our sensibilities are set to continue because we are utterly enslaved to the whims of our own egos and to those war mongering low life pieces of human detritus we call our world leaders that have long since learned to use our egos against us.

I am afraid that we are in the lull before an approaching storm and I am afraid that we have no friends. I am afraid that when that storm hits no outsiders (looks up) will help us because they never actually saw us as being much more than energy containers, meat bags or dangerous contaminants that need to be keep under strict quarantine.

Happily I am an optimistic person by nature and I walk with hope but we all have our fears right?

I am afraid that my children will not have the chance
to grow and experience all the gifts life has to offer.

Getting stabbed or slashed with a knife. To many horror movies for me

probably the fear of being alone.. having no purpose in lifeee.. fortunatley i have lots of freinds and i have a great job however i could lose that in the blink of an eye..

the fear of loosing what i have.. and not been able to progess in life.. to die as a nobody

I a BIG horror fan. The original Japanese "Pulse" movie is probably one of the scariest things i have ever seen. Also The Shining's twins. And the part in "2010" when Bowman appears on the TV. And certain parts in Twin Peaks.

But they're not real. Or are they?..

I am afraid that tomorrow will be worse than today, that I will be held responsible for not realizing my potential, that deep down inside myself, I know that I am wasting my life, and this is not good if I am a believer in judgment day, and I cannot NOT believe that I will ultimately be held responsible for whatever good and bad I have done, but that I could have done so much more, I know it, so God must know it.

I 'll play.

Absolutly not a thing. I fear nothing cause I'ma bad Mo Fo. Nothing scares me, I scare everything. What is there to fear? I really can't -ok Black Widows. They do bother me. Not all spiders just black widows. I've had nightmares of the damn things when I was still in my crib and I still have them today. You know there isn't anything. Oh alright I do fear the Almighty I mean I'm known for that. Right! So throw that one in there too.
But as far as I know after those two. There really isn't any fear. Unless , I
guess, the oil spill as of late has put a kind of a chill up my spine. That would definetly be it though. Tell ya the truth lately I've been afraid of even going outside. No kidding, I go out the backdoor thirty seconds later I'm headed back in again. It's getting scary just going out into the world.
Come to think of it I'm afraid all the time and of everything.

Will you hold me?

Fear that there is no afterlife.

What would it matter ? You won't experience it. No hell or heaven. Everything just goes dark but even that you won't experience.

I fear the dark. My mind plays tricks with me I didn't ask for.

I'm afraid of the thought of not finding a true companion for life. Nothing else.

Hello,


So, if I possess any fear; it's letting this secret be known outside myself.

I got scared and had to delete. Sorry.
