As I stated ...people are not even aware of the fears that manifest within, because, I feel, it is so deeply ingrained. Since the beginning of Christianity (according to St Peter)...when fear was used to control the people. Name the fear....let me see...fear of rejection..fear of being poor...fear of blacks..fear of Jews, fear of death, fear of life, fear of letting go and having fun, fear of being outed, fear of looking stupid, fear of not being perfect, fear of being too perfect, fear of dark, fear of failure, fear of conflict, fear of confrontation, fear of not being understood, fear of religion, fear of FILL IN THE BLANKS!!!!!!!!!!!....People have to really know themselves to know their fears....we are too busy JUDGING others to stop and see that when one points the finger, 3 are pointing back at ourselves. This has gone on, and will continue to rage on until we can stop and really examine ourselves...honestly...and forgive ourselves...it is a daunting task!!!...only for the brave and willing.
