Transactions Against Trust and Hope
If the value at the heart of fear is trust and hope, then by
duality, distrust hopelessness is what causes fear. Because we distrust or
rather trust in the negative and harmful happening, we are fearful.
It makes sense then that if a human being were to transact
negatively (abuse) against the values of trust and hope such a person would
incur a debt against those values. Meaning that something has to be paid back
to those values of trust and hope.
When people abuse the trust and hope of others, they incur in
debts against the trust and hope and that debt is paid by having fear.
Examples of Negative Transactions Against Trust and Hope
If we have ever destroyed the trust and hope of others then
we have debts against trust and hope.
Those people that produce fake medicine that are only
partially effective and sell them to people abuse the trust and hope of people.
Usually sick poor people. This is because people buy these medicines in the
hope that they will heal them and they trust that the medicine is effective and
has been made with good will with the best intentions to heal them.
People who make fake medicines imagine have debts against
hope and trust and obviously they will have fear related to medical matters, to
later suffer through and pay their debts with until their lesson is learnt and
their karma is paid.
Conclusion
The karmic weight of our fear comes from our abuses of the
values of trust and hope and if we can give trust and hope to ourselves and
others, we are going to accrue the dharma to be able to dissolve fear.
