Fear! Why do people need fear in their lives? Why do they seem to have to have it? Why are people so afraid of leaving fear behind? What are they truly afraid of?
I pondered this one evening while watching television when I saw a commercial advertising the horror movie Quarantine, followed by two video game commercials advertising their latest monster thrillers. There must be a psychological reason or addiction to need to stay in fear!
One possible reason could be that they do not even know that they are afraid. If they acknowledge that they are afraid they have to deal with their true reality and the reality is that which you fear becomes the reality of that which you fear.
Let me say that again.
That which you fear becomes the reality of that which you fear. Your reality has become this perpetual life of fear that you created, and continue to create.
Leaving fear behind would mean facing the unknown. It is very difficult for most people to choose the unknown over the known. No matter how bad the known is, for most people it is a safer choice than choosing the unknown.
Add to that, the constant barrage of fear-based messages from corporate-controlled news outlets which feed off of the fear then regurgitate it to the starving baby chicks addicted to daily doses of anxiety-inducing drama. The governments spoon feed you terror with a shovel and the corporate advertisements use depictions of frightful situations or create "unfortunate scenarios" so you will "buy into" their rhetoric or purchase their product which just happens to be the needed solution to the scenario they just concocted. It is all a highly-advanced system of classic brainwashing.
The fear mongers use these tactics to trick a large portion of modern humans into believing that you need every last one of them; that you cannot survive without them. The governments scare you into believing that they are your protectors. The churches scare you into believing that they are your savior. And, the corporations are the provider of things that you do not even know you need until they tell you that you do. Or, scare you into believing you do.
In truth, fear keeps you in need, period!
The idea of leaving fear behind would require you to leave behind your need for those protectors, saviors, and providers. This would then require you to stand up and become accountable for not only your thoughts and actions, but your thoughts and actions in the collective consciousness, as well.
If humanity is to have any chance at evolving its consciousness to the next level, we must awaken from this fear-induced coma and take an active role in creating a reality without fear.
