Shaivism, in its core philosophy, teaches us to embrace those that we fear, and understand them.
Lord Shiva has done this through covering himself with cremation ashes, having an entourage of ghosts during his wedding procession, and even garnering himself with cobras.
When we look at this deeply, facing and understanding what we fear brings the unknown to the known, and what we have now discovered brings forth enlightenment.
More importantly, what we now discover will remove our fear of the unknown, and when we do not fear the unknown, it can not be used against us. Then, society does not control you.
When you have better understanding of your mind, you become in control of yourself, when you have better control of yourself, you can better control your destiny.
When you have better control of your destiny, you are now an influencing catalyst of change in the world
