A sense of fear...

“In the search for power, we are escaping a deep sense of frustration and fear – fear of life, fear of being uncertain, fear of death, fear of non-existence, and the fear which has been instilled in us through the organised religions of belief. Whether Christianity, Hinduism, or any other organised so-called religious movements, they have always created a sense of apprehension, a sense that you have to be saved by an external power, symbolised in a human being or in certain ideas. This has created in man – who is after all the result of centuries of development from the animal, and is still the animal – a sense of fear, which has been inculcated and sustained” (Krishnamurti, from a talk in 1966)…
