Fear is something that isn’t just simply homogenized in the way in which it’s understood.  But its value—and it is its value that is so important, it’s something that is so clearly revealed in the mechanics of Human Design—the value of fear is that it literally forces us to gain intelligence, to strive to be better equipped, all the things that move us.  In other words, that if you look at the very simplest level of what it is to be a bio-form it is imperative that one recognizes that all bio-form’s fundamental focus is on survival.  And it means that every single bio-form comes into the world with fear genes, comes into the world with a chemistry that is rooted to what we have, in the way we develop language and understanding, what we call fear.

It is the fear, whether we want to call that alertness, there’s all kinds of ways we could describe it, the fact is that what it is there for is to make sure that we are aware of the environment, the risks in the environment, all of these various things.  Obviously, that is one of the bases upon which any species is able to develop a way in which they can survive, by being able to deal with their fears.
