Firstly, Fear is interesting and an irrational waste of time. It robs natural beings of truly living, feeling, and experiencing. Life, the moment, all that exists, is way too precious to waste on a psychotic obsession with survival, which has been the message pounded into our western brains since birth, crippling our existential ability to seek a truly fulfilling existence.
The cliché, “It’s not about the years in your life but the life in your years.”has never been more pertinent to a time, a time when natural beings are marginalized, forced into cubicles and factories just to achieve survival, and stripped of their freedom to live as they wish. There has to be something more than this.
In a time when our existence, our organism, much of this earth, struggles to survive like a flake of nearly dead skin holding on for dear life, it is time to start opening our eyes and start asking questions. Is this war torn, competitive, cut-throat, alienating, us vs. them human population with outrageously destructive technological abilities going to get us anything but mass extinction? Definitely not. Things need to change. That change is upon us.
This same fear exists in no other organism on our planet. Our brain doesn’t know the astounding difference between our Fight or Flight reaction and this illusory fear we have while worrying. Every time we worry about anything irrelevant to the moment/environment we are currently inside of, our FOF mechanism is sounded off throwing our biology into high strain for no reason at all. This plagues our culture. Very few of us will ever experience true FOF release more than a few times in our whole lives.
You may just say, “Well, that’s just the way we’re made.” The problem with that statement is that we are completely or nearly all learned organisms. We were knowingly taught this behavior. Fear is the absence of freedom.
The allocation of blood in our bodies at any one time depends on our psychological state. In times of danger or the illusion of danger, our blood spreads out to all areas of our body preparing itself for optimum survival performance. In times of growth, much of our blood concentrates at our core or our viscera. This is when rational thought and personal growth are most easily attained. In our paranoid society obsessed with terror and national security, this state of growth is a rare occurrence to most. We have a lot of strenuous catching up to do. Let us stop this whole fear-mongering, do not let the media, politicians, business leaders, the uber-rich instill fear into our systems. It is time for us as individuals to stand together and take back our society and country.
