I understand about not dwelling on fear and worry or nursing anger and how destructive that is. But I honestly feel that tarring all of us on this forum with the same brush for trying to stop murderous plans and/or protect ourselves from them is a misapplication of spiritual information. If you can explain this to the contrary, I'm most happy to hear it.
I have thought about Ghandi, when he defied the General at risk of his life; and I've thought about the story of Jesus, who allowed himself to be betrayed and crucified without resistance--but I've also heard other stories about how Jesus was smart and used herbs to feign death, 'beat the rap' so to speak and went on to spread his wisdom to other lands, so I have BIG doubts about not taking prudent action to save oneself.

I am not exactly following you for sure. But what I think you are saying is that fear is a useful motivator for standing up for what is right? That is true in some instances, but you can also stand up for what is right while being completely calm about it.
Since you have studied the Abraham Hicks info and the secret info, don't they talk about how all negative emotions are routed in fear? I have listened to them as well and they discuss this in detail. Abraham and the Secret both call it the emotional guidence system.
Sometimes it is important to put the story aside and see the basic fundamentals. All negative emotions that all start out as fear and are then filtered though your consiousness into other negative emotions vibrate at a low frequency. All positive emotions that are routed in love and then filtered through your consciousness into positive emotions have a high frequency.
I am not saying that you have to absolutely never feel fear in order to make the jump. A fear based consiousness in my opinion is one where the person is in a constant state of distress due to negative emotions. If you are mostly positive and sometimes fearful you are in a non-fear based consciousness.
