Christianity's repression of meditation

[Patrick]

Thank you guys, that's all very helpful.

How can such a thing take root in the tree of mind so that it remains from one incarnation to another?  Or maybe it is just within the social mind itself that it is embedded and not really in the root of the individual mind? 

So, from the perspective of a wanderer, I could have been given a part of this social fear to deal with and help release.  I tend to just ignore it, thinking that it's ridiculous, but maybe there is something I could actually do to help.  I'm just not seeing it.
