You know very well what’s going on Mr Illuminati. The globalist banking cartel and black nobility are implementing an Orwellian world government. They orchestrated the great depression and both world wars. They orchestrated the credit crisis and 911 is scientifically proven to be an inside job. Every major terrorist attack in modern history was orchestrated by these globalists through the CIA, Mossad and British Intelligence. They’re spraying the skies with poisons, using HAARP (Extremely Low Frequency radiowave ionospheric technology) to create earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and extreme weather (droughts especially) putting carcinogens in our food to make us sick, putting fluoride in the water to dumb us down and make us docile and subjugating the more dangerous male population through a media campaign of denigration and female empowerment.

It’s all about destroying society and resistance to build their Orwellian global government. End of story. To all those who would launch into vitriolic ad hominem and strawman attacks….don’t. I’m right. End of story.

Is said that a child is born with only two fears, the fear of loud sounds and the fear of falling, then all the others are developed as the child grows. Fear is a way of control. Our people are submerged in to fear… Is the American way…

Collective fear or collective ‘anything’ is what works in the world. So all establishments instill such an atmosphere. The super powers or the richer nations try to keep control by instilling this fear tactic on the world population. The middle-east fear tactic works because of a hyped media propaganda. Anything can be propagated, its just a case of the super powers having a stake in it.
Here they first create fear and then eventually when the victims (middle east) are brought over, they simply change base. Its all a puppet show by the media…run by the super powers…its almost impossible to get carried away…mob psychology is such.

Hi, My experience with Fear… is when you let any negative external threat takes control on your emotions, will, and grace, on who your really are… and today, every day…trying to live recognizing it but facing it with faith, confidence, truth armony, love…

I think fear is used against us so that our mind is preoccupied and we don’t have time to think about what’s really happening. This manipulation tactic is used so that we are scared and stay quiet.

There is definitely an atmosphere of doubt, but people are too afraid to challenge it.

Fear is a normal thing to all the creature, it protects us, we need the feeling of fear so that we can survive… But nowadays when the life conditions are a lot better that before, we can expand our limits, of course with the help of our heart and mind…
According to me and what I’ve read about this subject, most fears that we know and feel today are not real, they were told or shown to us since we were little, they are frustrations,unableness to do what we love and we think that we cannot achieve that certain thing…

Beautifully said Stacy!
We need to be open and accepting of all people!
Yes the world is changing and we are all awakening to higher states of being, to Christ consciousness.

Though I do feel that we are living in a culture where our fears are being aggressively used against us, I have to say I am proud at the new awakening I am experiencing in the people around me. People seem to be wakening to the consciousness as a whole, and opening their minds to new possibilities and healthier ways of living, mind body and soul. I was just traveling around Europe by myself and the kindness I was shown by strangers was one of the greatest lessons of my life so far. We all have our own personal battles and fears while trying to find our way in this world, but i believe that energy attracts energy, so if one by one we can remember to be patient with one another, embracing everyone we come across with love and positivity, we can change the world as we know it.

Não é só a dúvida, mas a desconfiança e a inveja que estão na origem da crise, que a construíram, que a solidificaram, e que agora a alimentam.
Ninguém quis ver os sinais. Todos os peritos andavam ocupados a fazer contas, em superar os resultados dos adversários, a falsear dados, a projectar lucros.
No fundo andava tudo a tentar superar o outro. Toda a gente quer superar toda a gente e ninguém tenta confrontar-se consigo mesmo, poucos tentam superar-se a si mesmos. Esta é a principal crise. O restante mal decorre tão somente disso.

Indeed the Culture of fear is quite alarming if we begin to explore it.
My personal solution is not to read the papers or listen to the news.
Anyway how much of it is 'real' and how much of it is embellished in order to keep us fearful and separate and easier to manipulate?
Our hearts are like a vessel to be filled. If we choose to fill it with fear there is no room for love. My journey is to empty my heart of fear in order to allow it to be filled with Love through the grace of God and Life. Is fear an illusion of the mind?

As a child who suffered at the hands of violent adults-I know something of the absolute destructive power of fear both in the singular and collective. Fear paralyses indivudual thought and freedom. It is the ultimate weapon of those,who if they succeed will destroy the world and its role in the Universe.
Collective fear,is especially frightening because of its subtelty; that we are susceptible to our need to follow the great whether Kings,Emperors,Football Teams,Celebrity et al is obvious.
One day it is a single discriminatory objection,the next day it is a Yellow star.The next day a civilisation disappears.

Bonjour Paulo,
This last comment I made in december 08 is quite in lines with your “culture of fear”.
You make allusion to that in “The winner stands alone” with the cinema industry ‘ ..To avoid any non-lucrative wars and to promote agression between countries or companies where they feel this might bring them more power and more monies.”

Maybe the bubble is coming to bursting point…

I haven’t been watching the news at all lately. I like to see what is going on, however, I take much of what is being said with a grain of salt these days.
I always grab a paper whenever I am on a plane, and I am surprised at the content of the news in countries such as Thailand and in the Middle East. They seem to be so much better than the Western ones.

Olga – I’m still studying the pause.

Phew, it’s good to read things over again and see the journey unfolding in a different light. I always see something different everytime I go over that blog.
It’s good to feel human again.

Thank you for the description of FEAR, False Evidence Appearing Real.

You are absolutely right, in my opinion, sometimes imagination can be distorted or manipulated. And as thought acts as pre-suggestion, the reality perceived also becomes distorted.

There is a simple way of combatting fear. By working our personal gardens. By risking. By loving. If each of us were to work our gardens, we would live in a beautiful world.

It’s a privilege to read such beautiful comments. Thank you all and God Bless.

These words I read from the Bible long long time back always remain in my heart – “God is Love and he who abides in Love abides in God and God abides in him.”

Have no fear.

Dear Mr. Paulo,
This time in society can be compared to all others, manipulation of the people indirectly with fear is a key element to controlling them. Coporate leaders collaborate for economic gain while the government becomes a puppet.

p.s. I read The Alchemist last week and have found your blog by chance. I wish to converse with you through e-mail, if you have the time.

Sincerely,
your avid fan

I was born in 1947. I remember that, 40 years ago, the “culture of fear” was completely absent, especially in North America. Here, in Canada, people actually were very optimistic and felt that the world was becoming a much better place. To the south, in the United States, people were gaining enough courage to go into the streets and fight against the government.

Now, it is precisely the opposite. The media is owned and controlled by a lot fewer people than it was 40 years ago, and the people are encouraged to fear just about everything.

I do not claim to know who was actually responsible for 9/11, and maybe I never will know, but that event has been capitalized upon by various governments and media outlets to create a continuing climate of fear ever since. The people who have most of the wealth and power want to keep it all to themselves, and a little bit of fear is a wonderful way to stifle dissent.

Well, we do, we deffinitelly live in the culture of fear!
Fear is the strongest weapon of todays` centres of power, by the mightest people on Earth! The weapon of mob control!
Sincerelly, I think that many events that happened in the recent past are FAKE!!! The Twin Towers Of WTC, bomb attacks in the European capital cities! This, just to prove that we are not safe anywhere on this planet, that only THEM can protect us! THEY, the same men that attack, and then defend! Crash of Wall Street stock-exchange, pleassee… They earned or will earn double money on that! Yes, now THEY removed rising competition, which will never more dare to invest money, because EVEN THE STRONGEST stock-exchange IS NO LONGER SAFE!
Controled by fear, people never dare to take action, not even in their own life, and especially not in life of the state! So, instead of living their own dreams, people are distracted to the modern world menace TERRORISM! Therefore, innocent people become victims of bombs, they DIE!!! This is the most severe consequence of the culture of fear! But the mankind is also a victim of this, because they are KILLED in their brains and hearts, living like zombies!!
Conflicts in smaller countries are mostly used for this, such a situation is here, Montenegro, Serbia and Kosovo! Innocent people die, get killed, territories are being taken away, a heart of the nation is pierced with a spear with a sign written all over it PROTECTION OF HUMAN RIGHTS! World fights against terrorism and recognizes the “state” built in blood and terror. Irony? One of many! Vulgar display of power fills peoples` hearts with fear and hate! How can there be any sense for LOVE?!
That is how money became more important than love, simply because we don`t feel her in the eyes of other people! Money comes on scene as a substitute, makes us feel safer! Therefore, people only think of money making, becoming workholics, working everyday like machines in some offices (that also raise the feeling of self respect)!
And so, no time to dedicate to yourself, even if there would be any, we are tired (trully or we use it as an excuse)! No thinking, no dreaming, no fighting for your dreams, but working and fighting for THEIR benefits packed in FIGHT FOR HUMAN RIGHTS, YOUR COUNTRY`s ideals, that will be traded the very next moment, when the price is bigger!
THERE ARE NO MORE DREAMS FOR A MAN, BUT FOR A SLICE OF HUMAN FLESH!

I agree with Bernard. I found myself anxious and fretful on a daily basis when I subscribed to the newspaper, watched the news on television, and talked about it. Since watching and reading “The Secret” a couple of years ago, I realized that I always sort of believed in the law of attraction, but never really fully practiced it. When I started consciously working on it, I naturally did away with negative programming in my life, via newspapers, etc.

I truly believe that the “news” is geared to keeping us living in fear, and as such is basically a control gimmick. The human tendancy is to naturally gravitate toward the negative programming, not the positive. It has to be a conscious effort, and one has to maintain a diligent desire to turn ones’ thoughts around and filter out the negative and fear-driven input.

Since doing this, my life is dramatically more peaceful, and rather than fear constantly weaving in and out of my every thought, I find I have so much positivity coming in from so many directions. Am I living in a “fool’s paradise?” Perhaps. But the Tarot shows the fool as a happy vagabond, knapsack on his shoulder, gazing skyward with a smile on his face, one toe posed at the edge of a cliff.

I wish to go when it is my time to go, with a smile on my face.

I think most important nowadays is to commit to practice one’s own practice to create more harmony and peace to this world. This world needs love and compassion and religions and practitioners have great responsibility and challenge to create more harmony and love.

What a great task to fulfill, don’t you think?

Thank you Paulo for your efforts to help mankind. I really appreciate your books and your writings.

All the best,
gassho,
