Mark: I am asked to offer a thought stream in my mind pattern this afternoon so as to get the ball rolling. In some conversations and experiences today I have been confronted with the rather instinctual nature of fear and what it is like to have fear brought up into the environment and how fear spreads and is contagious and seems so inherent and basic. This fear is triggered so easily and the path of fear is followed so readily that it seems inherent somehow in the human condition. In consideration of this, the question arose: What does one do when confronted with fear that is all around us? How does one navigate through this maze of fear, doubt and uncertainty? This seems to be the reoccurring and rather eternal question before us and so I put this question out there now, having some preconception of the direction this will go. Thank you.

Charles: [Mark] Thank you my friend, I am Charles and I appreciate you offering your thought stream because what is one mortals thought stream is in fact a reflection of a general thought steam, maybe not the specific details but the overall thrust that is felt by many because you are tied together in a collective consciousness as you have referred to it. So what one feels is representative of what many feel, perhaps in their own way with their own slant but nevertheless, of a similar vein and with a similar emotional attachment.

So, these are some thoughts this evening to consider about fear and what it does in your mind. I thank you my friends for allowing me these thoughts to come into this circle of friendship and share these truths and awarenesses with you. I also acknowledge the forum to open this platform up for others to speak. I will take my leave, good evening.

Light: [Mark] Hello my friends, I am Light and I would like to point to your common ancestry. Your ancestors were, in their more primitive stages, so very fearful of the dark. They would do strange things to avoid the dark because to them, darkness brought with it uncertainty and fear. There was an unknown quality to the dark when they were unable to see their way through and so it represented such a great fear to them, to be in the darkness, that they would go to extraordinary measures to please the gods so that the light would return. Once the light returned, their fears were quelled and calmed because they could see their surroundings, what was around them and there was no more extreme uncertainty because the light had been shed and all was plain to see.
