Fear is everyones enemy. What leads to that fear is, however, a very individual matter.

Fear can be our friend or our enemy, depending upon how it is perceived and what one does with it. Few things are inherently all this or all that. It matters what one does and what personality one has and how one has been trained to react.

While the graph is good, thanks, it shows a general, not individual. Some shrivel up at fear while some may heighten their awareness.

As a big fan of Dark Doctrine thoughts, I'm inclined to say that fear isn't our enemy, rather something to be gotten over. It's a lesson in disguise. Karma, if you will. And Karma can either be the death of you or your empowerment.

As with anything!
If something causes you pain and strife, there's a valuable lesson in it.

But from a point of view of our war against the New World Order: Yes. Definitely. People FEAR rising against the Freudian Big Daddy. People FEAR branching away from what they've been taught - because to do that is to come to terms with the fact that you cannot trust ANYONE to tell you what to think.

Well said.

wouldn't it ultimately be a fear of impermanence. of dying to everything you know. of the possibility of non-continuation. I feel that this lies at the root of much of it. IMVHO

Fear is propelled by not knowing the way things really work and what the possible outcomes could be.
We are actually indestructible. So lets rise up!

Fear prevents people from thinking clearly.

Fear is a very effective tool to persuade people to go along with things they normally wouldn't tolerate.
Governments love to use fear to control their people. Advertisers use it to sell you crap.

People need to confront their own irrational fears, but they also need to recognize when someone is manipulating them with it.

I find that demonstrating how fear is used to control people is a very effective way to wake people up to the manipulation they're subjected to daily.
