overcoming fear

[Plenum]

the best way to overcome fear is to know thyself.

but then again, that seems to be a universal panacea

fear is a fear of the unknown, and the unfamiliar.

once it has been accepted as the self (the thing regarded as separate), then how can there be an emotional distance (ie fear) between the two things? there cannot, basically, and so love is the result (union, totality, connection between the two concepts).
