Cultivated fear

Cultivated fear

Cultivated fear turns us upon each other. And that is exactly what the powers want.

The desire is for us to be afraid of the other. Those different to us. To stoke fear between humans is the weapon of choice and has been forever.

The immigrant. The person of colour. Those wearing a different attire. ‘They’ are coming to take our rights, jobs, status. To knock us off the rung of the ladder of status we have spent so long climbing.

‘They’ are us in different contexts, often not of ‘their’ doing.

‘We’ are but one heartbeat from being ‘them.’

To recognise the deliberately cultivated fear is the first step towards a return to humanity.

Equal justice for all. Equal rights for all. The law applied no matter status, difference or origin.

We are far from that. As Frank Wilhoit said, conservatism consists of laws where there must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect. When the in-group rules, their best defence against a power shift is to ensure we, the out-group, stay fighting each other.

To keep conquered, keep divided.

October 11th 2025 Synchronicity and Business Synchronicity and Business I was at an event hosted by a client a few weeks ago, and one of the speakers said, “We are an industry that believes in magic. Magic is an illusion.” And in a world of straight lines (no such thing) and 5-year business plans, of a focus on activity, outcomes, targets, and the ‘bottom’ line, magic is indeed hard to find. I would also find this world simply intolerable to live in. Synchronicity is a form of magic. It is...

Beauty of Beginnings - October 8th - Confrontation and its complementary pair, truth

October 8th 2025 Confrontation and its complementary pair, truth Confrontation and its complementary pair, truth So many people are afraid of confrontation. Perhaps the anger projected back, or words spoken in ways that feel diminishing. Perhaps it is the desire to be liked, or right, or part of the team that has us avoid confrontation. Yet confrontation is a necessary part of life. To stand in front of something, and see it, hear it, digest it. Until we confront, we cannot move to learning,...
