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. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/03/30-june-1929#p3</ref>

~~= Agencies that Give Rise to Fear =~~'''Why'''

What is pleasing gives rise to grief; what is pleasing gives rise to fear. One who is freed from what is pleasing, who feels no grief, what has he to fear?Affection gives rise to grief; affection gives rise to fear. One who is freed from affection, who feels no grief, what has he to fear?Attachment gives rise to grief; attachment gives rise to fear. One who is freed from attachment, who feels no grief, what has he to fear? Desire gives rise to grief; desire gives rise to fear. One who is freed from desire, who feels no grief, what has he to fear? Craving gives rise to grief; craving gives rise to fear. One who is freed from craving, who feels no grief, what has he to fear? <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/03/pleasure#p4</ref>It always seems to me that the reasons usually given for becoming wise are poor reasons: "Don't do this, it will bring you suffering; don't do that, it will give birth to fear in you"... and the consciousness dries up more and more, it hardens, because it is afraid of grief, afraid of pain. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/03/pleasure#p12</ref>
