‘If we can transcend the ‘self’ to something bigger than ourselves, then all fear dissolves away’
Barry Sant
Most people’s core values come from a sense of safety and self preservation, it is our automatic survival response mechanism. So even if they may appear kind and compassionate to others, when that compassion threatens their self preservation, their inbuilt survival instinct automatically clicks in and takes over.
When self preservation takes over due to fear, psychologist will tell you that your normal rational thinking processes are very much hindered. Making sensible and logical decisions are very much prohibited, only self survival/selfishness enters in their decision making and looking for others to help save them.
This is how you control people – You just need to look at any successful General or Leader from anywhere around the world and at any time in history, and you will see that they have always known this. Have you ever heard the saying ‘divide and conquer’ divide the people, get them fighting between themselves which leaves them in great fear and the opportunity to conquer dramatically increases.
They have used many different ways through history to control people through fear, but the more modern way is through propaganda via so called trusted media corporations and is no less deadlier than the other means.
Transcended people have very little fear and self preservation. This enables them to see beyond the normal limiting restrictions/beliefs. These people incline to be more aware of the bigger picture.
(Spiritual people expand – self preservation people contract)
The only way not to be conquered, is to transcend the ‘self’ into true freedom.
