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).
fear is absence of love. it means not honoring Creation and feeling weakness when regarding to Other Selves.
When Light is provided, then the Love comes in
