# You cannot always trust your inner-voice. Often,... > {{You cannot always trust your inner-voice. Often, your inner-voice is not really yours. You are not who you think you are; you are someone else's ideas.}} {{If you are unaware that you have been severely conditioned from birth, then you have been conditioned right out of your own mind.}} {{A great deal of fear has been intentionally put into people.}} {{Fear is like a virus you can transmit with words.}} {{Once fear has been ingested by your consciousness it can paralyze your mind and even cause physical illness.}} Fear is a common tool of control. {{We are so immersed in fear that we have accepted it as normal.}} It is often invisible. But the signs are there if you look for them: anxiety, uneasiness and a malaise of nagging feelings that things are not right — and always, always — the voice. The false-voice loves to create confusion and interrupt common sense. The false-voice portrays timidity as safety. The false-voice presents meekness and sheepishness as civility. The false-voice speaks of consequence but never of constitution. The false-voice whispers of loss and regret, but never of the hidden beauty in the moment. The false-voice ruminates over jealousy and makes you insecure. When you are feeling strong, the false-voice reminds you of past ordeals, and takes you back to re-live the anxiety and trauma, over and over. Some call this voice, the Devil. Some call it limiting-beliefs or insecurity; endless chatter that you are no-good, incapable, inadequate, undeserving or unlucky. In psychology, they may associate it with a negative Jungian animus or a malicious Freudian superego. Whatever the dark bastard is, we all know that awful voice. {{The false-voice is a master doubt-whisperer. The false voice is a world-class liar with one mission; to show you your brief moments of fragility and persuade you that you are forever weak.}} **Source:** [[books/Simple Reminders Book (2014-2018)|Simple Reminders]]
