Fear: attraction or repulsion

This is Halloween week-end: besides the much anticipated trick or treat candy collecting  for kids across all the neighborhoods in the country,
many people go to haunted houses to meet the sights and sounds and special effects of ghosts, goblins and scary monsters. For many, there is a certain thrill in the induced fight or flight reaction brought on by the adrenaline rush. 
In this case, we can say that there is a definite attraction to the fear, it makes people excited and makes them feel alive. Every cell of their body is on high alert. It is very scary for a certain amount of time and then , when  it's over, everyone goes home, safe and free from danger.
This adrenal rush may be enjoyable because everyone knows it's a game, a set-up. It's fun to pretend, for awhile.

The fears we face in every day life, the personal 'ghosts and goblins' that hamper our joy and ease in life are not as fun as the Halloween ones. In this case, we cannot speak of attraction but rather repulsion. The fears are energy parasites in our energy field, like  unwanted squatters in our home we have a hard time getting rid of.  We don't like their presence, all the room they take and their habits to steal our joy.
Are those fears real or just figments of our imagination?
Through my study and practice of The Emotion Code,  I have come to understand more deeply the nature of negative emotions and their origins. I came to understand how the inherited trapped emotions that are passed on from one generation to another do affect people in a real way.
For example: If someone has grandparents who had to flee their homeland because of religious or ethnic persecution, there is a likelihood that that person may fear that one day he may have to flee and seek refuge in another country, even if he now lives safely in a free country. I know a lady whose Jewish grand-parents and parents fled Nazi Germany  who experiences this. Even though she owns her own home in the US and even though there is no logical reason for her to feel this way. Memories and trapped emotions in our subconscious have a logic of their own that is, most of the time, incoherent with our day to day reality. I imagine many people who have such incoherent fears or concerns may not want to share it with others too openly because they may be labeled crazy.
Since all of us are the the product of our family's history and since none of us can say with certainty that no ancestor  ever faced danger, famine, war, injustice, and/or suffering of any kind, it is safe to say that everyone has a certain amount of unexplainable fears.
 What could this unexplainable fear be? Fear of not having basic food and shelter, fear of being abandoned, of being humiliated, fear of .......(you fill in the blanks).  All these fears may be lurking in our  subconscious  like an echo that resonates off the sides of mountains long after the initial sound was made.
Trapped emotions are like echoes that are still randomly heard when there is a trigger in someone's life.
As long as the "memory echoes" are bouncing back and forth in the landscape our our subconscious, we will always feel haunted by these personal "ghosts and goblins", these uncomfortable shadows that mask the light.
