Fear Makes us Attracted to What we Fear
I have always been intensely repelled by horror movies.
Mainly because I found them very twisted, unnatural, pointless and morbid. This
was enough for me to never watch one. I thought why voluntarily stress yourself
out.
However, taking away those factors I observe there a kind of
fascination, a kind of attraction to want to see or be aware of the horrors
that can befall a human being. This fascination or attraction comes from this
fear of death and seeing blood and internal organs.
This is because what we fear we are attracted to. The proof
is that being scared, we think and think about what we are scared of. And of
course, this bring to us what we are actually scared of.
Not Thinking is to be At Peace
If we are at peace with something we forget about that something
or we stop thinking about it. This is because the mind works this way, that it
likes to think and think about problems looking for a solution. If everything
is fine it does not think about it.
Because the mind thinks and thinks about what we fear, this
indicates to us that it is a problem for the mind. The mind is not at peace. It
is troubled. This is because we do not accept what we are scared of. We are
rejecting it and the mind tries to figure out a way around this rejecting
problem. But by duality we are also attracted to it so that fear can feed and
gather up information to validate its stance and make itself stronger.
End (1902).
