Irony = Dr. Chopra dispensing his philosophy re: the impermanence of life and ego whilst sitting next to a woman who has had too much plastic surgery. You cannot make it up.

I agree with Dr. Chopra that fear stems from the Ego. But where does the Ego stem from? It stems from the brain being loaded with emotional baggage.

So where does fear come from? The fundamental cause of all negative emotions is ignorance/selfishness; including fear! The perfect explanation is from the Bible just as much as it is from science. God made man pure in His Own Image. Man was living a wise and totally pure life having all the attributes of wisdom without being self conscious, there was no greed, no idea of being rich or poor, powerful or helpless. There was no jealousy or fear or ambition.

As the Bible says the Word of God made man pure. The word of Satan got lodged into man's brain and it physically changed man into an impure being with all the attributes of evil/ignorance/selfishness. Man became self conscious. Man became greedy, ambitious, jealous and fearful of God's power.

The very first lesson of the Bible is also the most important. The Word of God is so vital that the Word is God. And the Word became flesh. It was the pure Word that became flesh. It made man in the Image of God, with all the attributes of Wisdom. It is clear from the Bible that it was the pure flesh that created the pure man. It was not conscious knowledge that made man pure it was the physical purity of man that made man innately pure!

The problem is we try to educate by giving knowledge and having knowledge while it is about becoming! The message of the Bible is very clear. It is saying that the Word of God became pure man, man accepted the word of Satan and became impure man. The Bible is the Guide/Word to becoming pure again. God's Word/Bible is about man becoming like Christ, becoming physically pure again.

In the latest neuroscience terms it means making the brain of man physically pure. Which boils down to an emotional baggage free brain. An emotional baggage free brain is a fearless brain. Of course the way the world is today where up to 80% of human brains have varying degrees of emotional baggage fear as a precaution is vital. But the trouble is man is saddled with emotional baggage generated fear; fear that is powered by all the other attributes of ignorance/evil/selfishness. Emotionally challenged fear is generated by the physically unhealthy brain. So in order to become fearless man needs to become emotionally healthy through brain therapy that makes the brain emotionally super mature.

The brain acts/understands in biochemical reaction. The quality of these biochemical reactions are determined by the emotional baggage generating physical quality of the brain and not by what the brain is told in words. When the brain is told not to fear it is like say the brain is a vessel where we pore fresh water into a vessel which is generating it's own polluted water so the fresh water also becomes dirty. This is why wisdom education is almost impossible. Wisdom education has to be about removing the fear/ignorance/evil/selfishness generating physical properties of the brain. Thus brain therapy is the key to making man fearless.

Emotional-baggage-fear is an innate attribute of selfishness. The nature of selfishness is such that it contains all its attributes where each attribute also has all the other attributes. Thus fear also has elements of greed, jealousy, hatred etc. So getting rid of neurotic/psychotic fear/sickness means getting rid of all the attributes of ignorance.
Thus to be free of emotional baggage fear one needs to become wise. This is why we need to introduce a whole new compulsory subject that teaches the brain to physically change into a super mature emotional baggage free brain.
