Fear is not without a cause, and the cause is ignorance, and until the cause is removed, the effect will remain. Men fear because they do not understand. This is seen even in ordinary occurrences of life. A strange noise will terrify a whole household, but immediately the cause of the noise is discovered, fear turns to laughter. The same law prevails in the moral realm. Men fear failure, disease, death. Where there is fear there is darkness of mind, lack of knowledge. When a man fears, he should search within. All selfishness is ignorance; impurity is ignorance; covetousness is ignorance; slander is ignorance; envy is ignorance; dishonesty is ignorance; lying and deception are ignorance; where so ever these condition of mind are, confusion, superstition, and the slavery of fear prevail. The mind of the impure man is shadowed by three fears,--the fear of disease, the fear of consequences, and the fear of death. As man succeeds in conquering self and harmonizing his mind with Truth, the dark shadow of fear will pass away.--------James Allen
