The fear of the future is in large part a result of not being here!

Thought was instigated by 'want', and want is inevitably accompanied by fear - as that which is wanted may very likely not be secured.
Fear drains all systems and, in addition, creates a vibrationally determined and limited 'working environment'.
In the absence of fear/thought and with the resulting peace/god, new vistas begin to open. A new world is entered.

There are certain energies, moods, places, where a person should never think from. You can’t start from fear - you must start with an ’idea’, from remembering. All thinking that starts in fear, ends in fear! You have to remember, what you remembered, when you remembered best!

There is an essential difference between fear (as thought) and actual immediate danger. Danger is now - and we react with whatever astuteness and presence of mind at our immediate disposal. Fear, on the other hand, is a perception of possible danger in the future and thus in TIME. We are generally 'worried sick' about the future and thus constantly occupied with thought in time.

Basically, freedom is ‘freedom from fear’! Freedom means you can do what you want, right? So what stops you from doing what you want? Why doesn’t everyone do what they want? They’re afraid, no? You don’t do what you want because you’re afraid of what the consequences might be!
Freedom is not license! License is: you do whatever you want. Here we assume a serious individual.
If freedom is freedom from fear, then you have to be absolutely and totally neutral as to results. Because, if you’re not, and you want ‘this’ instead of ‘that’ - then you’re in fear. You want ‘this’ but maybe you’ll get ‘that’! So, neutral - as far as the results are concerned.

I keep talking about death, it’s my favorite subject. There’s nothing more important in the bloody world. Until you live with death, you don’t know what life is. What does it mean: ’live with death’? You must have a mature relationship to that reality! It’s one of the only two certainties that a person has - and ignores it! There are two things we know for sure: one, we were born, and two, we are going to die - the body anyways. There is not another bloody thought in your head that you can’t attach a question-mark to! Until these two facts are a ’living reality’, whatever is in-between birth and death has no real context - everything is subject to attack by the ’universe of devilish imagination’.
So, there, the secret is out: why all this recurring talk on death. It’s amazing the reaction that the average person has to the subject. It’s considered morbid. ’Morbid’ and ’death’, in linguistics, somehow get related. Morbid is terrible, it’s like black - the most horrible thing! That’s the biggest mistake a man makes. Death is the best thing that happens to us - if we’re ready. Because it’s really a birth! People should get excited with the thought of death - to be prepared for it!
But the least a person could do is to take the bullshit fear out of it! Death is inevitable. Stupid to be fearful and turn it into a horror, and fog-up your whole psyche.
The implications of the Death issue are so wide, but I’m not speaking of it for that reason alone. I’m inclined to rub that ’dirty word’ into peoples’ faces, until they get used to the smell. It doesn’t smell like anything else on earth - but you can live with it. It’s really not like a bad smell, it’s just that it’s so different!

So, this fear thing! Each fear has so many angles to it that you can’t even start thinking about it. You can’t. Each of the fears is somehow connected with everything else. And when you KNOW that you can’t deal with it in the usual way, then it all comes together as ONE BIG MOUNTAIN. Then, you can DROP the word ’fear’. It was: ”I’m afraid of this, or I’m afraid of that”. When you arrive at this big mountain you can’t think like that any more. It turns into a TOTAL LUMP OF ANXIETY.
Our only problem with anxiety is that we fight it, and pay no attention to the sheer ENERGY that it is - that is BEGGING TO BE TRANSFORMED.

At a person’s ’normal’ level the Mind is a mere REACTION TO FEAR, even in its striving for pleasure. The mind, at that level, is an ’I want, I don’t want’ mechanism. There is no sustained ’overall picture’, no relevance between one issue and another. At most, a SINGLE issue can be focused on at one time.
VERY LIMITED ACTIVITY/PERSPECTIVE, indeed. The MIND AS A REACTION TO PAIN AND FEAR. Nothing more can be expected without applied KNOWLEDGE.

Fear can always be 'justified', but none the less its VIBRATIONAL TONE and atmosphere remain a COSMIC LIMITATION, from whence NO GOOD CAN COME. It is a Negative starting point where 'intelligence' cannot but function at the level of IGNORANCE.

People are WELL CONDITIONED and kept in place by a mass of supporting 'logic' of all kinds.
Shall we take a look at the 'coupling phenomena'? The Boy/Girl thing? No accident that the Family is considered the 'corner stone of society'. Society, that is rushing head long into total disaster and is already SICK from top to bottom, PRIZES THE FAMILY. Now, YOU JUST LOOK AT THAT.
Members of the family within society, SQUEEZE THE EMOTIONAL BLOOD OUT OF EACH OTHER. They give NO comfort, EVEN IN SICKNESS. They block anything new as a threat to the status-quo.
The fear of BEING ALONE is overwhelming/intolerable. 'Better the Devil you know than the Devil you don't know' is LIVED BY, even without hearing the expression. FEAR is the undercurrent of it all, and there is no energy left even to consider questioning it.
