FEAR Chronicles: What if...?

Fear 101: The Three Levels of Fear

This is an encapsulation of "Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway" by Susan Jeffers. Self-help books are not my cup of tea, but three different people suggested I begin with it. The idea that you can categorize fears is comforting, in that it suggests we have the upper hand by being able to shuffle them like a frikkin' deck of cards.

Interesting to me only that most of the fears I have are in the "second level"- threats to my ego, so says Jeffers. It makes me want to learn more about the nature of "ego". I wish I saved my notes from Mr. Campbell's 7th grade class. He had us all read "I'm Okay, You're Okay"...

"Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway" by Susan Jeffers is one of the best books I've ever read. It should be given to all young people to read.

Yeah, what I got out of it is in this vid, from the first couple of chapters. The rest of the book seemed to support those firt few chapters and I was already convinced.

Thanks so much for the comment! I agree! That gives me an idea for my curriculum!

This is so well done. Wonderful editing!!! You'll see my response to your other video there on where I accidentally put my "Fear" video...sorry about that!

[U2bianSynic]

It's all good. It's all about fear, so it all looks like it fits ;-)

i definitely hope I don't have to face any demons. . . that's for sure.

[U2bianSynic]

Uh, apparently from your vids, you are-like, the DEMON-ATOR!! Ya know, we're all slowly dying- that's just the science of US. But very few of us have that thrown in our faces or have it following us around on a regular basis. Maybe I assume too much, but that sounds like a big-ass demon to me.

I try not to look at DM that way. LOL But thanks. I think. I meant actual demons... or poltergeists even. :) My next vid will be about when I fell in love with a satanist. It was crazay.
