Hello readers and listeners. Wow, it’s been a year since I started Break Free with Karen Hunt. Thank you so much for joining me on this journey of research and discovery. Thank you for your insightful comments, encouragement and for sharing my work with others. It keeps me going!
I'm not sure it's fear of death they are pushing. I think it's more fear of not belonging. Yes, COVID scared many, but being left out drove much of the theater behind COVID.
Boomers (like me) were more controlled by fear of death in those Cold War days. It was the nuclear hell that cowed us; our sense of individualism was too strong to be controlled by in group/out group. Nuclear hell was a real scenario.
Now, not so much; that societal memory has faded. There seems to be a thirst now, among the people, to be part of the in group, the collective, that is more compelling than dying. No fear of God may mean no fear of dying. But fear of not belonging--that seems to be horrifying.
I love Substack, it's a place where I can find people with courage who think for themselves. I'm glad you're accepting money now for your work. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, opinions, ideas, hopes, and fears with the world. It takes bravery to pour it out there in the face of public pressure and political leaders who speak nonsense to truth. Their house of cards will fall and there will be a day of reckoning. Their lie is big but truth is bigger.
Most people, when they think about it, fear pain and the unknown, not death. I, of course, fear pain, since there is NO such thing as death. A body is simply a vehicle for the soul to move and experience a particular physical plane or aspect of existence. Just like we need special clothing for deep diving or for space. Therefore, to be obsessed with a clothe or vehicle is not a wise thing to do.

Didn't Christian face that also in his Progress?

"...fear of death..."

Good luck.
