The feeling of diffuse fear about the future stems from the inherent uncertainty of what's to come and the human tendency to anticipate potential negative outcomes. This fear is often fueled by a perceived lack of control over future events and can be exacerbated by a natural negativity bias in our brains.
Here's a breakdown of why this happens:
Uncertainty and Lack of Control:
The future is inherently unknown, and our brains don't like that. We crave certainty and predictability, and the ambiguity of the future can trigger anxiety. The inability to control what will happen can make us feel vulnerable and anxious.
Anticipatory Anxiety:
This is a type of anxiety focused on the fear of a future event or situation. It's a common experience, but it can be debilitating if it becomes excessive.
Cognitive Distortions:
Our brains can sometimes create worst-case scenarios and overestimate the likelihood of negative events. This can lead to a heightened sense of fear and worry about the future.
Past Experiences:
Negative past experiences can influence how we perceive the future, leading us to anticipate similar negative outcomes.
Negative Bias:
Our brains are wired to pay more attention to negative information than positive information, which can lead us to focus on potential threats and dangers in the future.
Fear of Change:
Change can be inherently frightening because it disrupts our routines and comfort zones. The future, by its very nature, involves change, which can trigger anxieties.
To address these diffuse fears, it can be helpful to:
Practice mindfulness and present-moment awareness:
Focusing on the present moment can help reduce anxiety about the future.
Challenge negative thoughts:
Recognize and challenge negative thought patterns that contribute to anxiety.
Seek support:
Talk to a therapist or counselor who can provide guidance and support in managing anxiety.
Practice relaxation techniques:
Engage in activities like deep breathing, meditation, or yoga to help calm your mind and body.
Focus on what you can control:
Identify areas where you can take action and focus on those, rather than dwelling on things you can't control.

Self-Compassion:
It's about treating yourself with kindness, understanding, and acceptance, acknowledging your strengths and weaknesses.
Self-Acceptance:
Ultimately, exploring the self leads to greater self-acceptance, allowing you to embrace your unique qualities and live authentically.
How to Explore:
Mindfulness and Meditation:
These practices help you observe your thoughts and emotions without judgment, fostering self-awareness.

Spirituality - is a basic instinct! ... (C.G. Jung)
Übersicht mit KI
Yes, C.G. Jung indeed viewed spirituality as a fundamental aspect of human nature, often describing it as an instinct or a basic human drive. He believed that the psyche, or soul, seeks meaning and connection to something larger than itself, and that this search is an inherent part of human experience. Jung saw spirituality, and even religious impulses, as natural and healthy expressions of the psyche, rather than as something to be suppressed or pathologized.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
Instinctual Nature:
Jung considered spirituality, and the religious impulse, to be as fundamental as other basic human instincts like hunger or sexuality.
Search for Meaning:
He believed that humans have an innate need to find meaning and purpose in life, which is often expressed through spiritual or religious experiences.
Individuation:
Jung's concept of individuation, the process of becoming a more complete and integrated individual, often involves engaging with spiritual and religious ideas and experiences.
Collective Unconscious:
Jung's theory of the collective unconscious suggests that certain archetypes, or universal patterns of behavior and imagery, are inherent in the human psyche and can be expressed through religious and spiritual experiences.
Beyond External Religion:
While Jung acknowledged the importance of external religious institutions, he emphasized the individual's inner spiritual journey as central to psychological health and wholeness.
Sublimation:
Jung saw religion and spirituality as ways to sublimate, or channel, unconscious drives and energies in a positive and constructive manner.
The Christians were themselves a persecuted minority up to the fourth century... - According to UNESCO statistics: 270 of 290 wars since the end of World War II were led by members of different religions (i.e. for me: the great religions split more than that they build bridges etc. - d.48)! - The spiritual way which a man walks can only be his own, the self-lived and experienced - No one is a church! ... (J.E.B.)
Übersicht mit KI
The statement, "The spiritual way which a man walks can only be his own, the self-lived and experienced," emphasizes that a person's spiritual journey is unique and personal. It highlights the idea that true spiritual growth comes from within, through self-reflection, personal experiences, and independent exploration, rather than simply following prescribed paths or doctrines.
Here's a breakdown of the key ideas:
Individuality:
Each person's spiritual path is unique, shaped by their own experiences, beliefs, and values.
Self-discovery:
Spiritual growth involves looking inward, understanding oneself, and connecting with one's inner self.
Personal experience:
True spiritual understanding comes from lived experiences, not just intellectual knowledge or adherence to external rules.
Authenticity:
The journey is about being true to oneself, embracing one's own personality and spirit, rather than trying to conform to others' expectations.
This idea is supported by various spiritual and philosophical traditions, which often emphasize the importance of personal reflection, meditation, and connecting with one's inner wisdom. It also aligns with the concept of "walking one's own path," which encourages individuals to find their own way rather than blindly following others.

The claim that 270 out of 290 wars since the end of World War II were led by members of different religions is not accurate. While religion can be a factor in some conflicts, it's not the primary driver in the vast majority of wars since 1945. Many other factors, such as political, economic, and territorial disputes, are far more common causes of war.
Historical analysis suggests that a relatively small percentage of wars are primarily driven by religious differences. For example, one source on Wikipedia notes that out of all known historical conflicts, only a small percentage had religion as the primary cause. Another source highlights that religion is not a common source for war or conflict and that other factors play a more frequent role.
Therefore, while religious differences can sometimes be a contributing factor to conflict, it's inaccurate to claim that they are the primary cause of the majority of wars since World War II.
