Great Fear

Under the influence of great fear, almost everybody becomes superstitious. Collective fear stimulates herd instinct, and tends to produce ferocity towards those who are not regarded as members of the herd. Fear generates impulses of cruelty, and therefore promotes such superstitious beliefs as seem to justify cruelty. Neither a man nor a crowd nor a nation can be trusted to act humanely or to think sanely under the influence of a great fear. ~Bertrand Russell

You Chose – Jeff Brown

Next time you have a terrible thing happen to you and someone says, “You choose your every experience,” knock them unconscious. 😊 When they wake up again, ask them to thank you for actualizing their dream. And then, insist that they forgive you before they have even healed their head wound. Then tell them, “Pain is an illusion—just be aware of it, witness it, and you will come into the ‘Power of Now.’” Then, remind them that there are no victims and that they just need to “turn around” their story of victimhood. When they try to get up, push them back down on the ground, and remind them, “Everything you see and experience is a reflection of you.” Tell them: “You must have had some issues that you needed to look at around violence. I gave you a gift. Be grateful.” When they begin to get angry, remind them that anger and judgments are substandard emotions, and that there is never anyone to blame. If this doesn’t soften their edges, inform them that the ego is the enemy, and that the part of them that is perceiving this situation as unacceptable—is merely misidentified: “You are trapped in the matrix, and seeing the world through that limited lens.” Tell them you are here to liberate them. And then, steal their wallet, and demand they give you their PIN number. So they can learn another valuable lesson about attachment and manifestation.
