Fear Is "Thinking Clearly", Nowadays

The teaching moments that are Obama are not only continuing, but they are continuing to accelerate in both their frequency and their pithiness.

I’d say that his recent throw away line about how scared people don’t think clearly has to be about the most vital one yet.

What about “fear”?

Of course “No Fear!”, as a happy face attempt to throw out one’s chest AND point of the jaw by asserting, essentially, that they are brave---one of the most key GOOD aspects of being alive--- has long been in CW. So, it’s pretty un-PC to admit to being afraid.

However, fear has its uses, just as pain does. I have a wonderful book, “The Brilliant Function of Pain”, that proves what its title claims, not only wrt physical, but emotional and mental dimensions---and, let’s NOT forget the core spiritual one!

Well, imagine a “book” that does the same about FEAR---right NOW, due to all kinds of nihilistic actions and intentions of various powerful people and institutions, such as Obama, et al, and Islam, not to mention the autocratic China and Russia, I claim that fear is the essential state of mind for anyone who’s learned the taught moments!

When a lion is about to chase you, fear is most appropriate! We all know how this bodily “mood” physiologically puts the survival “fight or flight” systems into action. I claim those of us who have awakened to the logical fear sweeping the globe resemble a weak old grandmother, facing a car with its tire on their grand kid. From nowhere, she finds the “impossible” strength to lift that car and save the future of humanity.

Just so, NOW.

Never forget that our “betters”, epitomized by Obama, firmly believe they are way ahead of the “stupid” people who voted them into office! And, this means, basically, that they ALWAYS think that they can say and do ANYTHING, and talk their way out of ANY bad results.

Also, even after they themselves have done a “bad” thing, like get donations from abroad, and hide this fact, they USE this memory to help them choose to claim their opponents did the same thing---with no evidence needed.

J’accuse!

Let’s cut to the “fear” chase. When Obama’s lips loosen the “sinking his ship” truth, as he sees it, about afraid people not thinking clearly because of their fear, of course it is easy to determine his understanding, AND the real truth about it.

Obama---and Islam---are the attacking “Lions”!

It is GOOD to be afraid of them, and to act with all systems, bodily, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.

People are MAD---there it is, emotionally.
People think America is going to HELL---there it is, mentally.
People VISCERALLY react to other people who look like enemies or dangerous types, such as those dressed like bin Laden or a mugger in the dark---there it is, bodily.

What about the spiritual dimension?

Well, as long as there is a self VERSES an other, fear is endemic, in truth. Indeed, every instant of our human bodily life is a continual struggle to maintain order---stay alive---while chaos is permeating our space-time. Do NOTHING---and soon enough, one dies. Even breathing and eating, while pleasurable enough, only keep the “alive” game going, until it stops.

So, since mankind as a whole is so unevolved, at this time, and likely will be for many generations to come, the best we can do is live in the physically benign FEAR a civilized society maintains.

Most every religion has a “secret” teaching, necessarily kept hidden from those who are untested and immature, which in Absolute Radiant Transcendental Being truth is ONE.

Actually, we should wake up and realize that even NOW, each human being is not only living accord to a Christian admonition, but is the bodily manifestation of it. Which one, you ask?

“Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” And, or, “Love your neighbor as you love yourself.”

Notice the basic see-saw “self-other”?

Hey, we are all NEIGHBORS!

A fin, the latter demand about “love” hinges on FIRST loving yourself. What a great and confusing test, perhaps the greatest teaching moment to “get right”!

Truly, each “self” ALREADY loves itself! Narcissus lives. Merely to try to stay alive and feel good and prosper, in all ways, expresses such self love.

But, AND, the impossible “dream” is to love the Self---the One without an other---of which ALL is the rising manifestation.

Who can do THAT? Except---the SELF!!!
