<div style="color:#000000;">''What is the ground of the repulsion that one instinctively feels towards certain animals, such as snakes and scorpions?''</div> <span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">The repulsion you speak of comes from fear; if there were no fear, it would not exist. This fear is not based on reason, it is instinctive; it is not individual, but racial; it is a general suggestion and belongs to the consciousness of humanity as a whole. When one takes up the human body, one accepts along with it a mass of these general suggestions, race ideas, race feelings of mankind, associations, attractions, repulsions, fears.</span><ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/03/30-june-1929#p3</ref>
