Hierarchies in nature are based
upon skill, strength, cunning and wisdom. Human contrived
systems insomuch as they are based upon natural economics
and natural community mirror nature. But when human
hierarchies are based upon the perpetuation of fear to
secure their power, that way is a corruption. Any system
which, purposely or unintentionally, perpetuates and
cultivates fear as doctrine or incentive is, at least, in
error, and, at most, guilty of deceiving its followers,
preying upon their fears (fear of death and fear of
lack, loss, pain, and discomfort) to induce
obedience and conformity. Honed to a fine edge and
wielded as a weapon over centuries, such systems, be they
socio-political or religious, become
embedded in the socio-political and economic doctrine of the community
/ country, thus securing power over the populace by those
who have succeeded in enthroning themselves at the
insulated center of that system. And it is them at that
center that are most in fear of loss and lack, the
populace they control with their enshrined system being
their perceived but false insulation and insurance
against potential threat.
I say only this: To tear down this false fear-based
system now would bring complete and utter anarchy and
destruction to the world.
I also say this: any system based upon fear is doomed.
What is the answer?
Gradual comprehension, generation by generation, of the
erroneous nature of fear-based systems to be replaced,
gradually, generation by generation, by ideologies based
upon sound understandings.
And what is the basis of sound understandings?
Foremost comes the loss of fear; then, compassion,
kindness, tolerance, forgiveness, clear perception,
empathy, the discipline to make no decision in situations
where no evidence is manifest or where conflicting
evidence exists, the ability to seek alternate solutions
beyond that which can be directly conceived.
Let us now discuss the basis of FEAR in its most potent
fundamental, that is, the FEAR OF DEATH.
