Terror Threat as Internal Dictate?

I posted this into Iain Davis substack article

it wasn't into the details of his intricate and painstaking investigations, but to the - for me - nub of the fact that threat and terror are part of the current 'cultural expression of humanity circa 2024 - that have technologically mutated from an ancient stock or 'Separation trauma- of a catastrophic past'. Which is thus active beneath the development of strategies of coping within such a framework or matrix for mapping the meaning of our experience of self and world.

 

Do we focus a 'consciousness' in a prism of ideas, lies, or narratives, through which to explore the experience of a mythic personifiction filter; aka 'me' or my world?
That terrorism is used to mark out or frame our limits to permitted thought is to me so self-evident externally, but less obvious to the 'character' or my own identifiction.
Hence we 'see' the errors in the Othered as booster to a relative escape, dominance or moral superiority - aka judgement.

The Nature of Reality cannot Be defined - but alignment in truth brings all into a 'shared' quality of existence.
Maintaining self-illusions at cost of truth must demand sacrifice of truth (& the messengers of truth) to the idol of a false security or protection racket.
Perhaps the lies become so compounded and intractably self reinforcing as to seek release through a Great Forget or indeed Reset.
But beneath the lie is always a fallacy or an error of false idea accepted true - by which evils are generated that compound the false identification.
To the 'chosen elect' the status of lying will not be applicable to their 'justified war on the proscribed and targeted 'evil'.
But my take on that is of denials running blind as an existential fear-driven mindset.
The determination to 'know' something ELSE than feared truth will seek every means to be-live its convictions, by denial of the messengers of truth.
I cant make another's choices for them. Perhaps I might illuminate choice where gaslighting frames a powerlessness or compulsion?
Unless we recognise our 'identity and world-view' as currently active choice, we cannot BUT choose within the frame, matrix or overton window of a terror or threat-driven coping and survival strategy.
I chose to respond from a different point in part because chewing on a bone of contention is fruitless or joyless.
But that's not to diminish the choices that we each make for our own reasons -by which we might unfold better choices and thus more truly aligned or coherent outcomes.
The war on evil is not at all the same as the desire to heal through which the causes of fear are addressed where they are, so to be undone or released to a grounded wholeness of being - and thus also a capacity to reach to or recognise a like quality in others who may be deeply invested in nested defences against grievances set in lack or denial of right to be.
Note the pattern of countermeasures posing as 'solutions' is of a self-imposed cage of sickness, suffering and loss. To what degree are our defences locking in evils, such as to potect then under the banner or crusade of 'war on evil?'.
Our intolerance for pain of conflicted being (our experience of evil) needs be a basis for a call to heal - to a native curiosity of being for truth where lies confound, not variants of the demand for our respective 'normals' to be restored.
