Fear is a primary instinct. Fear comes to protect us from threats, risks, and the scary world. Fear makes us want to protect ourselves from what we think is threatening, so nothing happens, and we stay as we are, safe.


The fear of change is among all people. Thinking about it, most can find an example in their daily lives on something we dislike, yet we do nothing in order to change it. Many times this feels unbearable, many times we feel unable, many times the enemy makes it seem as the worst thing ever, and that there won't ever be a solution. What is keeping us on this stage is the fact that we fear the unknown. We fear everything we can't understand. Here is where fear starts. The enemy has built religions based on fear, communities based on fear, countries. It is a mass weapon. Right now, with the (((pandemic))) people panic cause of fear. People are believing everything they hear on the media because something is threatening their survival, their lives, their existence. The ultimate weapon is fear. And this all goes to existence, the fear of vanishing our existence. Then we become insecure. Insecure about ourselves, our actions. While insecure, logic lacks. And this all happens to a percentage that makes people hesitate to take any action in many cases. Insecurity makes people doubt their own selves and choices, so no progress happens. Fear, created by the enemy, hidden around us.


There are specific reasons behind the denial to leave the comfort zone. The fear they can't control the situation. The fear they will get harmed, the fear of how dangerous is the risk they want to take and how much they will get exposed to it. The fear they can't predict what will happen. All these trigger the fear of ceasing to exist. This is the most basic and primary thing, existence.


We fear what we aren't familiar with, we tend to fear what is out of our comfort zones, outside of our habits and routines. This is one of the reasons many people choose to be idle even if they are not satisfied with themselves, their lives, their bodies, their jobs. The fear of change. The unknown can be frightening. Change can be frightening. The enemy knows how crucial fear is in humans, so the enemy knows how to manipulate it. The enemy, through magic and physical means, multiplies and directs this.


Everything flows, and the only constant is change. Appreciating this phrase 666% will help in understanding the universe and how some things work. So when people deny to change and take off all the things they aren't satisfied with and take action for it, they become like rocks at the bottom of the sea. Unable to move by themselves. And by believing this at its fullest, the change we really wish for will never come, cause of us, cause of our perception, cause of what we believe on this. This is the point where the mind closes all doors of help. This way, we stay as we are this very moment, not progressing, focusing on the problem, zooming in and making it huge in our minds, making ourselves feel helpless, stuck in this. Every action starts from the mind. Even making the problem seem smaller than it used to seem, is change and progress.


Something similar happens with our spiritual advancent. We fear the unknown, what we can't control, what we can't predict, and we also fear the change in us, in our perspectives, our perception, ourselves as we know ourselves we fear we will stop existing. Changing is part of advancing. With spiritual advancent comes knowledge. Knowledge sets us free from fear. There are no limits in advancement, in knowledge. The enemy tries hard to eliminate us and surround us with limits. Limitations are like binds. We need to set ourselves free.

Knowledge gives freedom.

Fear is one of the things that can make you lose control. Often this fear is irrational and unfounded, and when faced with it, we realise that it is not fearful. Good post, it was good to read.

Yes, and this is one of the reasons the enemy uses it in order to manipulate humanity.
Thank you, appreciated.
