We can glide through the bullets, as it were, doing our small bit to bring about the transformation of Gaia. Just in the course of our everyday lives. Not to be too concerned with what might be going on elsewhere, since that is under other people's noses. Accept it rather than denying it, as many of us have been taught. This is an extremely fear bound reality within which we exist, fed by the media and much of contemporary ecological thinking.
Fearful people are peculiarly vulnerable to cultural trances.
To being controlled. All of us have to come to terms with our fears whether we're rich or poor, famous or no one in particular, male or female, black, white or yellow. Fear is the great equalizer. Riches might buy fortifications and bodyguards but it doesn't take much to realize how terrified the rich are behind their assumed protection. Money can't buy off fear.
