When an individual conscious being is birthed from the great ocean of Creator’s consciousness, whether destined to be mineral, plant, animal, or pure spirit such as the angelics, is fear a “natural” byproduct of all newly minted individual beings, or an endowed aspect of “intelligent design” purposefully infused into new beings by Creator?

There is nothing random or happenstance or coincidental in how living things experience their existence and respond to their individual agenda and the influences of the environment of all kinds. The makeup and function of all living things is entirely preplanned. There is nothing left to chance, nothing left to the workings of a gradual painstaking process of elimination through so-called evolution—that is truly a myth. There can be changes over time due to genetic drift and particularly impactful energetic perturbations such as a massive shower of gamma rays from a cosmic event that hits the Earth and subjects living things to toxic consequences in disturbing the genome, for example. But the idea of fear as a protective mechanism is a quite accurate perception of its purpose and the fact that it is universally present within living things, this is a necessary attribute to cope with the physical environment which, by its nature, is challenging and fraught with difficulty, much of which comes simply from competition for resources and for living space. You will not survive if you are crowded out, no matter what type of organism you might be. There may be only so much food available or other forms of nutrient necessary to maintain your energy. If it is used up first by others competing with you, you will be the loser and will perish, so to detect when there is a reduction in available energetic supplies and a response through behavior to perhaps go on the hunt to seek nutrition more widely, to be more aggressive when something is sensed, to ferret it out and take on all comers if another member of the species happens along and picks up the scent and threatens to get there first, all of these behaviors and mechanisms are designed to promote survival and, in that way, all at least have a level playing field in the challenge to keep going under sometimes difficult circumstances. In a world of plenty with relatively few animals and plants draining natural resources in the water and soil, giving rise to offspring comes without consequences to the self. But at some point, if the population becomes excessive, members of a species will compete too strongly with one another and may well compromise the lifespan because of the limitation. Those with more mobility and the physical capability to do so might even begin to destroy other members of their own species either to prevent competition or to even use them as food. So while this has its savage aspects, this is the purpose of the physical environment—to experiment with and learn from such contests because all have ethical implications and deeper meaning as far as the balance of power that is perturbed by negative consequences. It is this pursuit of balance that defines divine alignment and a successful balancing act, so to speak. For organisms, and this includes the higher orders such as the human being especially because of the ability to perceive and reason much more keenly, learning is by doing and adversity is a great teacher—the attempt to do better, to learn from one’s hard times, to anticipate challenges and find ways to adapt and overcome them is the hallmark of intelligence and achievement in terms of the physical level of the struggle to live. There is a higher spiritual aspect and meaning to it all and that comes with greater awareness and an appreciation for personal responsibility to balance in the equation one’s place within a family of organisms, to do one’s part but not cause harm to others and take more than one’s rightful share, and so on. There are many organisms living in groups with quite careful and delicate orchestration and a balance of power throughout the colony that keeps things humming along when all are satisfied with their role and having a purpose, and they do so with a kind of joyous satisfaction that everything is working and they have a job to do and will be quite dedicated in service to the communal group. This is an ideal humans themselves rarely achieve because of corruption. Fear can help people keep greater order and avoid the worst of mistakes and threats from the environment by developing coping strategies for protection, but the true art of living is not to simply live a wild and reckless life kept in check only by fear alone—that is a quite crude tool and by definition indicates a kind of failure to adopt useful constraints to keep things from getting out of hand to a point where you must fear your neighbor in order to survive. So fear is built in universally, but is meant to be more of a brake than an ongoing means of regulating conduct and functions of society.
