			== Exercises for the elimination of fear ==

			Rudolf Steiner recommends the following exercises for the elimination of fear<ref name=Furcht>[http://www.steiner-klartext.net/pdfs/19071009b-01-01.pdf#page=3&view=Fit Rudolf Steiner: ''Übung zur Beseitigung der Furcht''] (Berlin, 9.10.1907)</ref>:

			<div style="margin-left:20px">
			For 4 - 8 weeks, one undertakes in the morning to perform an action that has been thought through in detail at a precisely determined hour in the afternoon. Or, on the first day, one takes on an action, thinks it through in detail on the fourth day and carries it out on the seventh day.

			The following exercise is even more differentiated: On the 1st day, one makes the decision to perform a certain action and prepares all physical and character conditions for it. On the 12th day, one creates a vivid idea of the action, thinks it through emotionally and increases this to imagination. On the 19th day, one reflects on one's own powers and abilities. On the 23rd day one gets an overview of possible obstacles. On the 27th, one prepares the action in love and finally carries it out on the 30th day.

	'''Fear''' ({{Greek\|Φόβος\|Phobos}}) or '''apprehension''' is a state of mind that results from a concrete present or anticipated real or at least perceived real specific threat. It is therefore also, unlike the general, non-specific feeling of [[anxiety}}, usually rationally justifiable and can rightly call for caution, provided it does not reach a strength that paralyses our reason and willpower. However, the transition from fear to anxiety is quite smooth. Anxiety and fear can develop pathologically into phobia. Antonyms are courage, confidence and composure.

			== The Origin of Fear ==

			Fear is a concomitant of man's development towards freedom, which arose through the [[Lucifer]]ic influence in the [[Lemuria]]n period:
