Consider:

I see light because of resistance. I feel heat because of resistance. I feel the chair I’m sitting in due to its resistance to my body’s weight. Energy is realized because of resistance. I have experience – based on perception – that is due to resistance.

Fear – the belief in a threat to future survival, which belief is usually embodied in a sense of rightness – is imagined resistance where none may exist. Fear as an emotional motivator, however, is very real in that it usually results in ACTION intended to satisfy the perception of need imagined by the fear.
