Fear: A Hidden Guide to Wellness and Truth

by DW Green — February 5, 2025

“While money itself isn’t inherently negative, it serves as a yardstick for self-responsibility…”

Fear, often seen as humanity’s universal foe, can actually serve as our most insightful guide when we learn to understand its messages. At the purely physical level, fear expresses itself as disease. Every illness offers us the potential for inner cleansing and transformation, spotlighting areas where healing is needed. While we have lived with fear for so long that we cannot conceive of life without it, perhaps its physical manifestations are actually pointing us toward deeper wellness.

In our social sphere, fear appears as greed – an addiction born from our deepest insecurities. We feel empty inside, and this emptiness drives us to endlessly fill that void by taking from the outer world. Money becomes not just currency, but a mirror reflecting our relationship with fear. While money itself isn’t inherently negative, it serves as a yardstick for self-responsibility, highlighting opportunities for creating genuine abundance and trust. When we recognize this, we can see how the world might be healed through a balanced approach to the economy and resource distribution.

At the individual level, fear manifests in its most subtle yet revealing form: indifference. This emotional numbness epitomizes everything that remains asleep in human beings. While a few have awakened to their true nature, and others are gradually learning to bring feeling back into their hearts, most remain in a fear-induced slumber. Yet even this indifference serves a purpose – it signals where we need to awaken, engage, and embrace truth. By recognizing fear as a messenger rather than an enemy, we can use its guidance to transform disease into wellness, greed into abundance, and indifference into conscious engagement with life.
