Fear can certainly be crippling and debilitating to your soul body and mind. I’ve relied on prayer and turning to Jesus more so than ever as the Covid crazy clown world began taking hold. As a Christian I have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Christians don’t look to the collective rather ourselves individually have a relationship with the Lord. This seems to be a difference between Judaism and Christianity based on what I read.

Interesting comment. The faith (Jesus Christ) aspect and in cross comparison of Judaism I find interesting. I grew up what I call casually Catholic and the article makes me consider where religion came in or didn't in my early indoctrination of fear. And if I had a more individualuzed notion or collective in belief system. TY for reminder fear can be debilitating on no only body/mind level but soul as well.

Loved the piece. It inspired me to take inner inventory on whether some of my friends & I might be experiencing fright at times being frontline activists. Easy to think since we are not under the collective spell we are somehow immune to the different types of fear covered here. In addition, this quote nailed it in terms of what for me the essence of this mass trance is all about: “Totalitarianism in power found a way to crystallize the occasional experience of loneliness into a permanent state of being. Through the use of isolation and terror, totalitarian regimes created the conditions for loneliness, and then appealed to people’s loneliness with ideological propaganda.”

This is what I am seeing in the world today and at times myself. Love is stronger then fear- fear is just being so persistent these days. Thanks for writing this. I do have hope moral, love and peace will emerge through all of this

Yes! Perhaps a mass return to LOVE will emerge as one legit/effective avenue to liberation.
