I entered the address with the prefix “baker” @swgms.com. and when I searched for it I received a lot, the first of which was the MakeUse of IT photo site. I went dow to the tird entry marked as a blog from “baker” and it went right to yor page. I tried the originl site wthout “baker” and it went to the photo site, and when I clicked on the blog titled “baker” it went to your site.

My original response was there, but it had not been sent.

I hope this one goes through.

I find this intriguing, and I must certaily say that your sense of syntax has progressed by light years since we studied together. Some quick observations–I didn’t have much time to examine all the elements on the site–your notion of fear seems to be based on an experiental model, which holds with the psychoanalytic view first proclaimed by Freud.

Parts of that view are certainly valid; we do react to experiences in ouur lives which have positive and negative effects on us. In Peter Weiss’s play, which I saw in the 1960s, the Marquis de Sade (known for his odd sxual prederences, but a philospher of some note in his other writings, says: “Everything we see or hear acts upon us or influences us in some way.” He does not go on to further define this statement, as I recall, but makes the point that all individuals remain thrmselves, in response to the French revolutionary Jean Paul Marat, who believes that people come together and form political action groups which are the only way to effect social change society.

De Sade’s statement claims that only individuals can change themselves and their emotions, e.g., fear for one and sometimes they cannot. How one does that is still a bit of a mystery to today’s science when certain biological factors prohibit change. Perhaps sometime in the future, given all the research in the human genome, the means to change that may be discovered. Many of our emotions, including fear, may not be able to be changed, but can be overcome by chemical approaches, or by an individual’s own actions, by confronting fear and making it work for them by taking a risk. Most great actors experience terrible anxiety before performing, but in the act of performing they use the energy of their fear to translate it into the caried emotions they must exhibit in performing and are recognized for the great performances they give.

This holds with what you posit, and is probably the case for most of us, but the biological problem remains unsolved. Chemicals deal only with the symptoms, not the cause.

Yet, we know that the brain is self-programming, and we do not consciously know how it does that. Some axons and dendrites end up as dead ends, but many lead to new knowledge and behavior in a person, something which ws never there before. So, you start a dialogue that is most intriguing. I hope you continue to investigate the issue, knowing that most people “cure” their fears, as you write, by confronting them.
