The Network of Thought
Fear is the common state of all mankind, whether you live in a
small house or in a palace, whether you have no work or plenty of
work, whether you have tremendous knowledge about everything on earth
or are ignorant, or whether you are a priest or the highest
representative of god, or whatever, there is still this deep rooted
fear which is common to all mankind. That is a common ground on
which all humanity stands. There is no question about it. It is an
absolute, irrevocable fact, it cannot be contradicted. As long as
the brain is caught in this pattern of fear its operation is limited
and therefore can never function wholly. So it is necessary, if
humanity is to survive completely as human beings and not as
machines, to find out for oneself whether it is possible to be
totally free from fear.
