Vishen that is really good insight into the workings of the mind. I believe most people are not even conscious by the way they are manipulated by the media. I was in Bali in 2016 and it is nearly otherworldly in it’s beauty. And before, I had never in a million years thought I would go to that “corner” of the world so far away. My mom didn’t want me to go for let’s just say safety reasons. It was the highlight of my travel experiences so far, hands down. I stopped watching the news more than 4 years ago and it’s definitely been a positive thing for me. Ha, and I used to look with contempt at people who didn’t. I thought it was a sign of ignorance! Fear is perpetuated by our focus on it. I think one day people will be “vibing” so high that fear, negativity will just simply not be part of or encountered in people’s lives, so different from love, trust, peace, enjoyment (gasp! yes I said that). The answer to fear has to be from the bottom up, doesn’t it? Each of us has to come to terms with it inside, having learned that on the trip from really knowing ourselves through direct experience from victim to creator, and getting past the fear of that (courtesy of lingering bits of the egoic paradigm)to recognizing ) to recognizing it as liberation. Just my thoughts and experiences, sorry I tend to ramble. Thank you if you read this far!
