We see this all too often: people are not worried about fraternizing with all the devils of hell, but they have the greatest fear of the spirit, of the higher states of consciousness; they flee them. Why? Because deep down they feel they still need to give in to their whims, their desires, to live a lower life and instinctively they are frightened of this light that will show them their weaknesses, bring them regrets each time they become aware they have done wrong. Those who fear the light of the spirit do not quite know why. They give all kinds of dishonest reasons, such as the fact that spirituality disturbs people, pushes them to neglect social life and, of course, you understand that they are magnificent people. Well, no, not at all! The truth is that they refuse to give up their old habits and they flee the light because they sense light is the worst enemy of their lower nature.
