"It is necessary to comprehend that fear destroys sympathy, terminates the generosity of the heart, and annihilates within us the delicious perfume of love. Fear is the root of any corruption, the secret origins of any war; it is mortal venom that degenerates and kills." - Samael Aun Weor, Fundamentals of Gnostic Education
"Fear is the worst enemy of Pistis Sophia. Men kill each other because of fear. Nations arm themselves and go to war because of fear. We mistrust people because of fear. Espionage and perversity exist because of fear. There exists thieves and prostitutes because of the fear of life. The aspirants flee and part from the real Path because of fear. Frontiers, documents and restrictions of all types, which interrupt the journeys of people, are due to fear. Fear is the cause of thousands of personal and collective conflicts." - Samael Aun Weor, The Gnostic Bible: The Pistis Sophia Unveiled
