Fear of unknown🔗

You will have the fear of the whole. I tell you. Relax. Feel connected to the whole. Connecting with the darkness will remove the fear of whole, the fear of disappearing. Fear of death will completely be healed. Your fear of death is nothing but the fear of darkness. Fear of unknown. Fear of unknown is nothing but fear of darkness.

In Tantra, first thing disciples are told for healing, is they are asked to go and sit in a forest or empty space and gaze at the emptiness. That is all. In Zen, the person will be asked to sit facing the wall and gaze at the wall. Under the vast open sky and whole night he has to gaze at the sky. You will see so many different moods and fears, everything coming up. Whatever you have suppressed everything will come up. Everything will open up. Important thing, if you have suppressed your need for rest, your desire to relax into silence then that suppression which has become restlessness in you will also come up. It will open up. It is like a whole thing will get cleaned. That opening up is like a fear. You mind will say 'No, no, no, no I don't want to look into this darkness. I don't want to see this darkness and you try to avoid.
