Fear as life...

Life behaves principially in the same way regardless of scale. If you are assessing bacteria or elephants, quarks or galaxies, the fundamentals guiding their behavior is the same. The rules of this behavior are the true laws of the universe.

And the paradox, when it comes to man, is that these laws are to simple to be expressed by our way of communication. Only a few humans in our history have been granted a glimpse of these laws, and none of them have been able to put them into words that can be easily communicated to other human beeings.

The reason for this is to be found in the very core of our languages. They are all constructed in a way that complicates our comprehension of reality and bars humans from true understanding. This fundamental flaw in our tool of conception - our language - has two tragic consequences:

First man is denied a truly fundamental understanding of the reality within which he exists. Second he will never understand himself. In the tensionzone between the resulting misconceptions, fear grows. In this place fear takes on a life of its own, manifesting itself through the actions of men into our common reality. And, as all living things, fear want to reproduce and multiply, fear breeds fear. In our reality it takes on many forms and faces, from kindness to war, from paralysis to destruction.

And how to deal with this living existence named Fear, something with its roots outside our common reality? There is only one way to walk, the path that leads through:

- The Litany of Fear -

Fear is the mindkiller
Fear is the little death
that brings total obliteration.

I will face My Fear
I will lett it pass over Me
and through Me.

And when Fear has gone
I will turn My inner eye
in Fears path.
There will be
nothing.

Only
I
will remain.
