Most presences choose who they will accept an who they can frighten. A person's spiritual energy attracts either good or bad ones

I fear due to -
1) physical pain they might inflict on me ..worse they kill me .
2) they might hamper my mental peace and give me hallucinations , illusions , nightmares .
3) they might hurt terribly my people , my loved ones , family ..they might kill them .
4) lastly ..we have boundaries of suffering pain ..suppose we are struggling a lot for an exam but we fail and then suffer , we try and again fail and suffer but each time we have a choice to quit and choose a better thing ..similarly when physical pain/emotional pain exceeds limit , we all have a choice ..which is to embrace death but when things come to supernaturals ..i dont have this option also which scares me ..they will even haunt my soul aftr my death .

Possibly because it symbolises how much we choose not to see in the world around us, and how we have chosen to address fear by hiding behind our ideals; allowing ourself to remain fearful.

@es0tericus is it a matter of choice or ability? are we capable of really and truly seeing what surround us?
es0tericus · 26-30
@celine211 I think with awareness comes choice, leading to ability or inability. I would think they're connected.
I could elaborate a lot more, but honestly, I don't like simply giving out my answers without listening to the conclusions you've reached so far on this matter, by yourself.

Most people haven't experienced them on their own, so for them it's mostly about other's experiences and what they have learned in stories etc.

Xenophobia maybe? Fear of the unknown. Also, they are spooky, and we can't interact with it/them by choice typically, so that's kind of scary. xD
thepreposterouspanda · 36-40, M
@celine211 Probably instinctive, I'd imagine. Our flight response kicks in whenever we don't know what's going on. xD
And I'm not sure! Maybe we feel like they're above us somehow? It's something I'm going to have to ponder now. 🤔

@thepreposterouspanda but the flight response is when we feel threatened soo do humans consider what they don't know as a treat?
thepreposterouspanda · 36-40, M
@celine211 Oh, absolutely. I mean, you only have to observe society around you to see that haha. :)
I'm not particularly scared of something that doesn't exist
TeirdalinFirefall · 31-35, M
I suppose because ghosts are spooky or something.
celine211 · 22-25, F
@TeirdalinFirefall but how do we make that association? ghosts and scary

Because they are not flesh and blood but supernatural

I’m more afraid of the living
revenant · F
because they would feel totally out of control ? no am thinking of those who totally refuse the possibility.
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
Because of questions like this.
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
Because you are encouraging people to engage in this false belief.

Because Humans fear the unknown.

@celine211 I think that animals have that fear, yes. Eg. The other day there was a loud unknown noise in my neighborhood which started a lot of dogs barking in fear.
As far as kids are concerned...I suspect that we are taught to fear the unknown. Religion and folk tales play a role in that I think.
Eg. When I was about 5 yrs old I saw things at night that should not have been there but I did not fear them.
When I was about 12 and properly indoctrinated with religion I also saw things at night that should not have been there. I feared them then.
Also the older we get the more we realise that we are mortal and we do not know the intentions of occult things so we fear them.
So it would seem to be learned behaviour. Similar to hate which we are not born with.

Continued ignorance and superstition

@celine211 I think spirits and ghost do not exist and belong in the same category as pixies, goblins, the boogeyman, gods and devils.
People fear those things because they have been convinced at a young age that they exist and taught to be scared of them as a form of control.
I have no fear of that which does not exist as my parents and family never tried to convince me that those things DID.
