Fear is something that we are so accustomed to that we do not realize how destructive it is. By engaging in this, we allow ourselves to be controlled. This is something that is conditioned in us and used by those who are there to "protect us".
Our buying into fear is what allows for the wars to take place. It enables politicians to blast through our rights and pass laws that favor them. Advertisers use this to buy products we do not need. We feel bad about ourselves so we seek to fill the void with what they tout as the solution. Drugs, alcohol, sex, money, power, prestige are what we are led to believe is what we need.
We have an entire economic and political system that is erected around this. Think of all the businesses and institutions that exist simply because we are afraid. Consider how many actions are taken out of fear and envy. This is, of course, affirmed by the media and Hollywood who churn out violence and hatred.
Many of our religions espouse the idea that it is good to "fear God". Naturally, the solution to this is to turn to them for your "salvation". Money always helps in this endeavor.
We fear disease like it is something natural. Our conditioning means we run to the nearest doctor to get the latest drug. There are even "preventative" drugs that people are taking. In fact, they are now even going one further. A woman in my neighborhood got her breasts hacked off because she has a gene in her that might cause breast cancer.
Think about that for a second.
Technology is something to fear. The Terminator scenario is drilled into our psyche. Our entire existence centers around conflict and war. Anything new means there will be a battle. Few take the time to consider that something could appear with the desire to help.
Our fear based reality will not allow that possibility.
There are bullies so we need anti-bullying legislation. Terrorism exists so we wage a war on terror. In the United States, since we have hatred, anti-hate speech in Congress was passed.
Let us not forget about the climate. We are doomed unless we get go renewable in the next decade. By 2030, we are cooked, literally is what we are told.
But then again, 40 years ago, we were going to be frozen in a block of ice.
We fear the future and the unknown. Our desire is certainty which is impossible in an uncertain world. Nothing stays the same yet we cling to what we know. Stepping outside of that, either physically or mentally is sheer terror.
Hence we turn to those with the answers. Doctors, lawyers, priests, politicians, and the media all serve as our experts. Since we do not know, surely they must. I will say, they do tell a good story.
Few ever consider how their beliefs come about. What is sad is, for most, they are a product of conditioning. It is this belief system, once identified that gives others the power to manipulate. Without a sense of self, we are at the whim of others.
Do you care what others think? Most will answer no yet they spend a great deal of time looking for validation. Being a part of the universe (God, consciousness, energy, love, vibration, ethos, or whatever term one wants to use) is not enough. In fact, few believe that either.
It is easy to believe in scarcity. After all, it is what we are sold daily in most aspects of life. This plays into our greed and our thirst for more. We seek out more toys, power, and control. Once we get that, then we will be comfortable.
Of course, fear knows no financial bounds. The wealthy are some of the most fearful. They build gated communities that they live behind believing that will keep them safe. The put their money with financial advisers who surely will keep it safe and make it grow. They insure, insulate, and separate in an effort to squash the fear that is ever present within them.
It is time to let all that crap go. Not only is it poison, it is a total mirage. We are moving into a completely new era where all of this is a total joke.
Those who are on here paying attention are witnessing a new economy evolve. Crypto-economics is a real thing and it is present on Steem. In fact, the Steem ecosystem is one of the best examples of this new model. Over the next couple years, bet on the explosion that is building.
Money is just one area that is being attacked. I laughed when I read that only 110 of some 200 plus countries allow Bitcoin. Allow Bitcoin? Like they have a choice. The power of cryptocurrency is that it is borderless, nationless, and does NOT require permission.
Yet governments are trying to control it. No matter, even fewer realize that governments are sitting ducks. Does anyone who is familiar with what is taking place believe that the government establishment stands a chance? Part of what will unfold in the next few years is a new form of governance.
One of the main reasons why blockchain and crypto-economics is going to change the world is because it smashes fear. It provides an option to the system almost all of us are presently living under. The scarcity model is about to die.
Picture how your life would be without fear. I am not referring to the fight or flight response that is inherent in us. What I mean is to isolate the modern fear that is viral in our society Few face life or death situations on a daily basis yet we still have the biological response like we do. Now ponder what it would be like not to be that way.
It is learned. This is not something that is natural within you. Being stressed out about the future is a conditioning that serves others well. Always seeing the negative and down side to things plays right into their hands.
We are in a changing world. Humanity is on a different course. The past 5 years saw a major shift that is, honestly, only beginning. Each year brings another step further into the new energy that is being created. Part of it is witnessed on a platform like Steem. Those who see the possibilities have a much different "aura" to them as compared to those who refuse to see them.
It is that fear that enables them to control us With the new energy that is arising, we are seeing the control mechanism starting to die. Think about your life when you are earning 50 or 75 different tokens on a monthly basis for doing things that you presently do now. How will that change your life?
Consider it a pipe dream? This is what is starting to take place on Steem.
Reduce the fear and you will see the control reduced
