Thanks for the tag @xcountytravelers.
I love the question and write up @jimmyoblog so thank you for tagging @xcountytravelers so they could tag even more 😉
For me, everything is our thinking, there’s fast thinking that keeps us safe and is intuitive, like you said, it helps you when you need to act fast as there is REAL danger. It’s why a cat will jump if they see a cucumber on the floor, as they react to the possibility it might be a snake.
Then there’s your other mode of thinking, where False Evidence Appears Real and we create stories and scare ourselves. This again is to keep us safe as this type of fear keeps us in our comfort zone, and uses past experiences to keep us inside our own safe boundaries. However, this fear can work in two ways. It can stop us from growing or it can be our projection into new things. It all depends on what you do with it.
Phobias are fears that will often stand in the way of growth but with a new way of thinking they can become what I personally term, terror-excitement, where you get the energy to start moving.
Energy is at the heart of all emotions and can become stagnant and held in the body. You can, by a number of different approaches, work with your energy to move it and free it. I like your method, Love-based believing, because it works for you, and so very likely would work for many others, if not everyone.
I have made a study of the question you asked and so have learnt many methods, NLP, EFT, Matrix Reprogramming, active listening, coaching, aspects of spirituality and the 3 Principles.
From your chosen method I think you might like Matt Kahn’s YouTube channel.
And if not, oh well, I got to share some cat videos, so I’m good. 😉

Hello and good morning!
Thanks so much for your perspective; I can't say I disagree with a single syllable!
Energy, Connectivity, Soul, Source, Alignment, Discernment, Authenticity...all of these terms come to mind as I ponder the results of "doing the work."
And in doing the work, my fear-based thinking dissipated into love-based believing. My system of living, being, doing is so much broader and deeper, now that the limits (socio-culturally introduced / embedded) have been removed.
I consider most of my fears to be of the healthy sort, although I continue to avoid horror flicks (see my reply to @priyanarc :-)
Now following you, which I expect will be fruitful and engaging.
Peace and smiles
Following you too, @jimmyoblog, you seem to know where you’re going but then again, if you’re following me, we might end up going round in circles. 😀❤️😀
Eyes wide open, fingers at the ready. We read, we learn, we write, we post.
This way, I believe we grow.
So, let's have at it!
Let’s have it, indeed.
I just love those videos. It always amaze me at how they react.

Hehehe, me too, apart from feeling for the poor terror stricken kitties 🐱 x
