Monella kuitenkin pelko ahdistaa mielessä ja sydämessä eikä tunnu laantuvan, vaikka Korona on maassamme jyllännyt jo yli kuukauden – niinkuin kausi-influenssat yleensäkin tekevät. Syitä on monia: esim. kun ei tiedä montaakaan asiaa:
how long time will this last?
what if I catch it?
what if my nearest ones catch it?
how to survive if the quarantine lasts for weeks?
Where will I get money because I can't work?
how long time will I have to stay alone?

This important Principle of Nature - Collaboration - becomes a prevalent part of life, once it's been balanced within our own subconscious mind.
