Good question. It seems like 'fear' is rooted in all 'negative' emotions/thoughts. But I like the buddhist phrase "turning poison into medicine." We can take this fear emotion/thought and use it for our own good. Unchecked fear; that is, fear without awareness of its potential can be destructive, like a fire hose without someone manning it, it's just shooting water every which way. But we can harness this powerful energy to do what we like. Its best to think of 'fear' more objectively. Maybe we can come up with a new word for 'fear' something that symbolizes the motivating energy for pulling in. Really its just that, a motivator. Basically we need not fear the word 'fear,' lets use it! Lets awaken to our true power inside! Lets not be afraid of who we truly are. Fear no longer controls us, we use the motivating power of fear to do whatever we want.
Maybe the real issue here is the realization that with the powerful energy that comes with polarization we have much responsibility. We (light or dark) workers can do powerful things. We can change humanity in whatever way we want. We can create a war (Hitler) or we can create peace (Gandhi), its up to us. With great power comes great responsibility. Polarization either way doesn't really matter. We can have whatever we want, the question is what to want...?
Have fun.
