The fear and learning

[Kisito]

I started imagine if we didn't have 3D fear of suffering and death. Then I would wonder if we would assimilate our lessons with the same dexterity? Because it's this fear, this uncertainty of the next suffering and the next death that develops us intellectually.
So I told myself if it was not for this reason that we forget every previous incarnation. It's not suffering that we learn, but his fear. The fear of suffering is the basis of our concentration. Without fear that we would enjoy everything and anything without worrying about us, because nothing would disturb the enjoyment. Fear is the course of action. Fear is the link that connects to the Absolute Knowledge. So it seems to me that the informed beings always have to doubt and be afraid of the suffering. The arrogance and the beginning of the stupidity.
If children learn more than adults because they are more fearful than adults.

I think fear can certainly be a great motivator. Nobody wants to fall into the same trap twice. I also think there is an almost divine curiosity to learn for the sake of learning. "learning is fun", the C's have said many times, hunger after knowledge, happiness is in the wanting, not the having, (maybe that applies to more than just consumer products).

It is curious to me, however, that a few people I have known appear to lack any and all curiosity about anything, or so it seems.

To suffer means to bear with, endure and feel keenly. If I fear suffering then I will throw away responsibility and in order to learn you must be responsible or its just programming. Fear to me atleast closes the mind and constricts us which cuts us off from knowledge and ourselves. Knowledge is inclusive not exclusive and fear seems to be Its opposite. Also according to Castaneda fear is the first enemy of the man of knowledge and is a characteristic of the predator's mind. Fear serves a purpose in the case of bringing a danger into awareness for a fight or flight response but that can be just divisive and lead to black and white thinking. FWIW ask yourself do you and people in general usually confront fears or ignore them? Ignorance is bliss and...

We eat to live, but too much eat little to kill us.. When everything goes well we do not think any more. But I agree, that too much fear, to block us. This is because we know that suffering can to kill us, that we refuse it by the reflection.. The fear is according to me the engine of the man.

In Castaneda's books the knowledge of death as an imminent possibility is described as an important asset to the warrior as well.

Children primarily learn through natural curiosity until society and the education machinery takes the joy out of learning. SEEKING and PLAY circuits are engaged when learning is enjoyable.

Yes, I think that the maybe pleasant learning, but when we become aware to master the fear. And the learning is unpleasant when we don't master any more this fear. It seems to me that the pleasant learning or not rest connected to the notion of fear. And I think that from the moment we stop becoming aware of the fear, we stop learning and become automatons.
As said it Platon: " The necessity is the mother of the invention.
