Dr. Henry Lindlahr of the USA, wrote in his 1919 book, Practice of Natural Therapeutics, “Avoid fear in all its forms of expression; it is responsible for the greater part of human suffering. The only thing to fear is fear.” There are different ways in which fear may manifest and for different reasons but the result is usually the same. The "symptoms of fear" classically include:
 While the symptoms described above occur in individuals reacting to a "fear stimulus", there are anecdotal and historical reports over thousands of years which demonstrate that fear is also "contagious". What does that mean precisely? Are they stating that like coughing, spitting, sneezing or touching-fear may be spread? Will wearing a mask and/or gloves as well physically distancing oneself from others prevent one from "catching fear"...or will seeing others with masks and/or gloves, standing apart and never touching actually generate and increase "the fear" ?! Herein is a nexus few will discuss. Our "physical health" is affected by our emotional health, our environment and our "spiritual" or lack of spiritual practice. Exposure and proximity, by our senses of hearing, sight, touch, smell and time to other human beings who are in a state of panic, anxiety and fear, can cause our own health "systems" and responses, to mirror (through 'spindle or von Economo neurons (VENs) and other pathways) other human beings around us and their behavior/reactions. When others we see or are near to us "stiffen" - or suddenly look more alert, we often do, too. austinpublishinggroup.com/anatomy/fulltext/Anatomy-v1-id1026.php "Experimental studies have identified a brain structure called the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) as vital for this ability. It surrounds the bundle of fibers that connect the left and right hemisphere of the brain. When you watch another person express fear, your ACC lights up. Fear contagion happens automatically and unconsciously, making it hard to really control. This phenomenon explains mass panic attacks that can occur during music concerts, sports events or other public gatherings. Once fear is triggered in the crowd – maybe someone thought they heard a gunshot – there is no time or opportunity to verify the sources of terror. People must rely on each other, just like {animals} do. The fear travels from one to the next, infecting each individual as it goes. Everyone starts running for their lives. Too often, these mass panics end up with tragedies." theconversation.com/fear-can-spread-from-person-to-person-faster-than-the-coronavirus-but-there-are-ways-to-slow-it-down-133129 Stress on the body and mind from continual doses of "fear" including "fear of the unknown" can and does lower our bodily defenses and weaken our immune system. The stress hormone corticosteroid reduces the number of lymphocytes (white blood cells) raises blood pressure, inhibits digestion and over time adversely affects sleep patterns. Chronic stress can lead to chronic disease including heart and kidney disease as well as deplete the body leaving it vulnerable to "attacks" from other pathogens such as viruses. Having strong family or social support including constant contact with friends, human touch and affirming experiences with other human beings and nature is vital to sustaining a healthy body, mind...and spirit. By legislating arbitrary physical distance rules and reducing the number of contacts through an ordered "lock downs" of a community and society; in addition to limiting the amount of time one can spend outside and exercise in the sun and nature (if someone is fortunate enough to live in an area where that is possible) the overall health and immunity of a people is adversely affected. Exactly how much we are affected cannot yet be measured. We should be able to see the consequences of these draconian policies by the beginning of 2021 after a baseline of 2020. There are a myriad of reasons for using a bio weapon to gain control over a population, weaken a population, divide a society and deliberately inflict suffering. Those launching an attack and those who cooperate with the agenda and means to carry out such an attack, are those with nefarious intentions. Sometimes these people are compromised and/or lack a "conscience" and even enjoy delivering pain and cruelty. Therefore these people recognize no "human rights" or limits to means of power. They have no compassion or empathy. They rely on most people under estimating their sinister objectives. Most humane people can never imagine the depths of depravity and brutality these other human beings will employ. Throughout written records of history we have reports of individuals, groups and entire societies turning to "the dark side". They will deceive by any channels possible, invade on all fronts, rape, pillage, decimate and enslave entire populations for their own lust to power, greed and perverse "entertainment". If they do not carry out attacks themselves, they hire others to do so or they make machines which will do it without question, pause or post on a social media platform. With AI we have machines controlling and expanding the capabilities of other machines. The "Terminator" series as predictive programming?! Read accounts of military history, personal journals of survivors and examine the rise of the Mongols, The Aztecs, The Saxons, the NAZIs, Pol Pot, Mao Tse Tung, Stalin, ISIS/Daesh. The stakes are higher now because the technologies are more sophisticated and more deadly. These people are not "reasonable" or respectful. They conquer by ruthless attack on a population, on infrastructure, on morale, on spiritual beliefs, on all ages...on the possible future.  What you can do on an individual level is start by continuing to be or becoming healthy on all levels. You can read my previous blog on boosting your immunity at this link: www.jopatti.com/blog/boosting-strategies-best-cv19-shields Resist the "chip" which is already being proposed. Read actual reports, listen to entire briefings and steer away from corporate sponsored news which "bono"-benefits in profits from spreading fear.
While many of you have more time to discern and read, I highly recommend the new documentary: "Out of the Shadows" about media, especially all media produced in the USA (many production companies and subsidiaries owned by the Communist Chinese government FYI). This film starts with the question, "Why do you believe what you believe?" It is free and available online...for now. Don't wait-watch it! www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wTiCxXgrJw Closing this evening with a tune from "The Police" a classic but still relevant on a whole different register. The title: "Every Move You Make" www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMOGaugKpzs As the sun shines longer and later into the evening here in remote Alaska, bidding you and your loved ones-good health! Jo
