Built into Hashem's creatures is a survival instinct. The instinct is extremely powerful, energized and has been given the ability to override all our senses. Mind, body and soul become instantly negated when this instinct becomes active.
The Yetzer Hara knows this well. He plays off it. He will create fears and scary thoughts that will 'ping', 'tap' or 'awaken' this instinct by creating scenarios, all phony, that make it believe that survival is at stake. This 'ping' gives the YH access to the most powerful and automated force in a person.
This trick from the YH is not a theory. It is managing the inner drama of our lives. It keeps our finder right near the panic button. It keeps us worrying. It keeps us thinking. It keeps us occupied.
We must find a way out.
