.........Brown recounted a whaling trip about 10 years ago when a polar bear came within about 30 feet.  
Brown was about to grab his gun when the whaling captain told him to relax.   ``He said, `Don't show no fear, don't be scared.
They're like dogs, they pick up your scent and take advantage of your fear,'''  Brown said. The polar bear ``just stood up, sniffed
and walked away. Ever since then I've been teaching myself  not to be scared, to show no fear.'

How do you show no fear? You can't say - I'm not fearful! You have to BECOME not fearful.
And this you WILL - WHEN you follow the path of Mind / No Mind.

The Sixth Sense - Direction
We are not completely sure how, but polar bears have an incredible sense of direction. Even though the ice can change from day-to-day, and the night can last six months, polar bears seem to be able to navigate extraordinarily well; even swimming to shore from a hundred kilometers out. Some scientists think that polar bears have an internal compass that can sense the earth's magnetic field to guide them
