Fear and ignorance go hand in hand. One will never be found without the other. Fear causes ignorance, and ignorance causes fear. Together they are the parents of hate, all hate. This is a key principle that can help us unlock so much understanding inside of ourselves. It gives us a means to overcome all our fears, and our ignorance at the same time.
Well, "means" might not be the right word. It's more like a hint that can lead us to the means. The means itself is a mystery - in fact, it is THE Mystery that the Christian Bible calls "God in man", but also goes by many other names around the world and throughout history. It implies faith and understanding the same way that certainty implies fear and ignorance. But, even though it is by definition, a mystery, it is 100% available to everyone at all times. The hint tells us which direction we must look to find it (i.e. inward), that is all. But, it can be found - or, rather, it will find us, if we only have faith in the Mystery.
