The Future of Princess Sabina
Chapter 10: The City of Fear

I woke up a few hours later, when the flight was about to land at Tel Aviv International Airport. I was immersed by a strong fear that gripped the whole country. It broke my heart that these sacred lands had fallen so far from the heaven they were meant to be. What happened to 'love your neighbor'?

As I reached immigration, I experienced a new technology that took a 3D scan of my body, and detected my movement patterns, so it would be possible for the AI to identify me , even if I hide my face. Although I was impressed with the technology, it also scared me. Powerful people are constantly looking for new ways to control the population, and fear is getting worse. In the past, it was enough to leave your phone and credit card at home if you wanted time alone, but now, it's almost impossible. Paradoxically, the more the government can track the population, the more lonely everyone gets. In a culture where no one trusted their fellow, no one came out as the winner .

After my movement and body patterns were scanned for a long time, I was taken to the room for further questioning. A fierce-looking security guard was watching me with his ferocious eyes, and I sensed that this person was satisfied with the current state of affairs.

“Sabina Hines, why did you come to Israel? " The man asked in a voice full of suspicion. The hostility of the security guard frustrated me as he acted on his fears, which in turn made those fears spread, and the public became more fearful and dangerous. I decided not to face the attendant for his attitude, and instead I played along with his little game.

"I came to this Holy Land to learn more about myself and my legacy" I said in a solemn and pretentious voice.

"Is that so?" the man asked rhetorically before continuing, "Our source in Sydney stated that you rarely visit synagogues, and that you work as a yoga teacher."

"What do you have to say to yourself?" The man's aggressive voice interrupted my thoughts. I hate it when my mind wanders, but I have to go back to the present.

“ What you said is true . I have tried various paths to spiritual awareness throughout my life. Spirituality that I tried , not contrary to the first commandment, because I have not worshiped other gods , ”kataku with a pleading voice.

The man watched me for a moment and spoke. “Alright, because of the reputation of your father, John Hines, I will give you permission to enter Israel. But we'll keep an eye on you . ”

The security guards who threatened to stamp my passport. I thanked him, and I was on my way. I felt relieved that I did not need to use my strength to get through it. I need to function as a human being, and not just rely on the power of meditation, being spiritual whenever I need to do something my way. Moreover, I could feel that the soul of that security officer, was filled with xenophobic hatred and paranoia. The less I open myself up to that kind of feeling, the better.

I booked an AutoCar to Jerusalem, and an hour later, I arrived at my hotel in Jerusalem. I scanned my iris at the explosion-proof security checkpoint and entered. Tired of exposure to paranoia and suspicion, I retreated to my room, where I meditated for hours to regain balance and to calm myself down, before I could finally go to sleep.
