From a site visitor: “I just finished reading some of the August archives and have some questions that came up—why do you tie fear and lies together? If I’m getting you right, you think no one should be afraid of anything but I think there are fears that are justified. If you want to talk about getting real and being sane, anyone living in my country nowadays (United States) would have to be crazy not to be in some fear. There are people who want to destroy our economy and kill us and ultimately destroy us. That’s reality.”
F.: Thanks for writing. First, many reside in the U.S., many are not crazy, and yet they do not experience the fear you mention. In fact, it is because they are sane that they are not living in the fear you are. Should you travel farther along the “path” to Realization, you’ll be able to look back at your words and see the distortion of the beliefs regarding some “one” who should be afraid and the fears you think are “justified.” That said, your comments offer an opportunity to discuss the conditioning that you’ve obviously been exposed to…the effects of which you can be free of via Realization.
Conditioning is as old as the first concept dreamed up by one person and passed on to another through use of repetition. It is one of the major tools used by persons to bastardize the consciousness. Typically, specific examples of current relative happenings are avoided in order to focus on eternal actualities, but your comments provide an opportunity to discuss the way that conditioning creates distortions and how distortions generate fears that result in persons being out of touch with reality; therefore, your topical examples will be addressed since many persons can likely relate to them presently. Notice how you and many persons in the U.S. are being conditioned and how distortion and fear follow. Conditioning requires repetition, so if someone tells persons often enough that the greatest threat to their physical safety and economic well-being is a foreigner and a terrorist, then many will accept that lie as truth.
The antidote for conditioning is Realization, which would allow You to realize that there is no “one” to fear what persons “in your country nowadays” fear and would also allow You to understand that, if your economic or bodily fears were “justified,” you would not fear what you do fear and, conversely, you would fear what you do not. Meaning?
Since you reside in the U.S., the facts are that…
…statistically, there is a far greater chance that you will be killed by someone whom you think loves you than by someone whom you think hates you;
…statistically, there is a far great chance that—instead of your economic welfare being harmed by some terrorist that you think hates you—your money is more likely to be taken away by your own government or by someone you think loves you;
…statistically, there is a far greater chance of your being killed by incompetence in a U.S. hospital than in a terrorist attack;
…statistically, there is a far greater chance of your being killed by someone living in your house than by someone breaking into your house; and,
…statistically, there is an astronomically-greater chance of your being killed by a fellow U.S. citizen than by an invader from a foreign country.

2,800+ people were killed in the 9/11 attack by foreigners who sneaked into the country, but since then (a) over 85,000 have been murdered in the U.S. by people who already live here and (b) between 800,000 and 1.6 million people have been killed because of incompetence while seeking medical care in U.S. hospitals.
Your body identification is driving you to fear for the safety of your body, but you do not understand what the greater threats to your body really are. Why? Conditioning and distorted thinking:
Conditioning: “They are the people who hate you and they want to kill you. There is no greater threat to you and your economic well-being.”
Distorted thinking: “These are the people in government who will protect me, and these others are the people in my life who love me and who would never do anything to harm me.”
Note how distorted the thinking is among those who have been conditioned by leaders—both now and historically—to believe that Source A is a threat when Source B is far more likely to impact the relative existence. Note how distortions always result in misplaced fears. Note how those who want to manipulate and to control always use programming and conditioning to put reason on hold. Notice how they use fear-generating rhetoric to put listeners into a state of emotional intoxication.

Look to your own childhood and see if you can recall any of those “I have a good mind to kill you” stares from an angry parent; or look back to threats you heard about "eternal punishment in hell"; or look back to those “I hate you” or “I’ll ruin you” or “I’ll abandon you” or “You’re not good enough” looks or words from someone threatening to abandon you. Can you recall one or more of those types of events? If so, then you can see the force of programming and conditioning, the emotional intoxication that they can generate, and why misery and suffering in the relative existence always follow conditioning and/or programming. Please enter the silence of contemplation. [To be continued]
