Fear
So many years ago I was sitting in a class. It was a class that studied what some would say is not a religion, but a philosophy or text that an underlying premise is the act of simply gaining a full “awareness of love’s presence”, that teaches forgiveness, love and peace through it’s principles.
Nothing real can be threatened.
Nothing unreal exists.
Herein lies the peace of God.
In that small class the topic of fear came up. I had thought about it a lot. Noodled it around in my heart, head and said, that I don’t have fear in my life. I can’t say I truly knew the others in the class yet, the class was new, but boy did I get crazy looks! What?? No fear? I was an anomaly, a weird one. Seriously? Yes, seriously.
Nothing real can be threatened.
Nothing unreal exists.
Herein lies the peace of God.
Still today, fear for me is in check. It’s not in my DNA, never debilitating or creating any type of anxiety that impacts me living. Mostly it is fear for others. Fear for what they fear. Fear for what is in their world to harm them. Real and manufactured baseless fear. Fear of justice denied or unbalanced justice.
Is it this lack of fear that has me where I am socially, politically, spiritually, physiologically? Is it what keeps me clear about what is happening, that nothing real can be threatened?
Emotionally, I am a wreck. Today, June 12, 2025 I had the TV on a few times, read a few posts on Substack and crying each time had to walk away.
License has been given to cruelty, abuse of power, abuse of the law by the will of so few. Those few have manufactured a world of fear for some that does not exist. Thanks to press and media, they manufactured this for us. A reality show was more important than reality. Where we are today because it was more important to get the rating than to work within a level of justice, democracy and a true rule of law. All three of those seem to be slipping away from us and some believe this will get us, I’m not sure where, but it will not be the world they imagined or even dreamed.
There will be no line in the sand for some to stand on the other side of. The us vs them will be a bastardized version of destruction and the demise of while not perfect a world we will never have again. It will be gone if this regime is not checked and true democracy and rule of law are brought back into favor.
