Hello Fear!

Fear is a tyrant. Fear is thwarting joy into something that instils confusion. The world right now has become accustomed to selling you fear, then on the flip side, in pretence sell you the antidote to the fear they created previously.

It is a business — a business built on manipulation. In the middle of the chaos, this business offers you some glimmer of hope to brighten your horizon.

Fear is not a Paradox.

When a child is born, the mind is crystal clear, or should I say empty. Spotless and whole. Someone who does not love the purity that comes with a child does not exist.

The first school of a child is the home. But as the child begins to advance in age and experience, the child then picks the primary language spoken in the atmosphere, the mode of speaking, the way of dressing. Even though it is not taught, it is grasped by the child unconsciously.

Then what happens next? The child identifies with the tribe of the father depending on the culture prevailing. You get the picture, right?

How does this happen, one may ask?

Bear in mind that the gates to a human being are 2, namely:

  1. The Eye Gate and
  2. The Ear Gate.

Let me digress a little bit. There is something you should have at the back of your mind as regards gates and doors. The space created or window created when building a house is called a door, while the wooden frame or metal frame, placed with a handle for opening and closing, is called the gate.

The Eye Gate.

Perspective is everything.
How you see a situation determines to a great deal your response to it. The same thing can happen to two different people, and their outcome would defer.

Imagine two ladies getting pregnant. One feels a sense of guilt while the other wants the whole world to know that she is an expectant mother, including her enemies. Why is that, you may ask?

One lady is underaged, and so her organs and system are at risk of carrying a baby. Her education and self-image are at the risk of being tarnished, and she is at risk of being seen as a slut just for getting pregnant.

But not so for the other lady. The delight for every lady her age is the fruit of the womb. So her getting pregnant and delivering changes her status automatically.

What do you see in this word — NOWHERE?

One person reads “NO WHERE”

Another person will read “NOW HERE.”

How you see matters a great deal.
What you see, you pay attention to;
What you pay attention to is a direct reflection of what manifests.

What you see, you pay attention to;
What you pay attention to, is a direct reflection of what manifests.

The Ear Gate.
It happens subtly. You can be all over a place and suddenly hear awful news of someone’s demise, which immediately changes your mood. Can you remember that lady that did not know you existed up until she met you? Then the things you said to her ears made her tingle. She ordinarily is not used to holding a conversation. However, she had the discussion effortlessly and still wanted more small talk because of what you said to her. If you anything you got the picture of the girl.

What you hear has a way of sparking the right emotions in a human. It happens virtually to anyone, from a business negotiation to appealing to a judge in a law court.

What you listen to matters. If you master speaking, you have mastered emotions.

Words are the seeds for emotion;
How you hear and what you listen to matters a great deal.

Words are the seeds for emotion;
How you hear and what you hear matters a great deal.

Knowledge.

Ignorance is not an excuse.
Knowledge is power. What you know propels you into realms of understanding. Incidentally and apparently, what you are ignorant about can sink you.

What you are ignorant about can also save you in some ways.

A dear friend said laws are made to be broken, and that’s why there is a penalty. Another individual further said the law was not made for a human but animals.

What you know passes through these gates, and it gives birth to what you know.

When you see an ant fighting an elephant, although the grass is suffering, the ant has something backing it up and is knowledgeable on the ability of the one backing it up.

Knowledge gains ascendency through those gates, and so the message is clear — Expose your gates deliberately.

Expose your gates deliberately.

Expose your gates deliberately.
