Fear Is Not the Enemy

Anything that you haven't experienced before (at least in rough outline) can feel scary.

That's a normal and natural response, and it's been put in place in your physical realty by natural/physical/biological intelligence to help you survive.

Fear says, "Pay attention!"

If you try to ignore or pooh-pooh your fear, your ignoring and pooh-poohing natural/physical/biological intelligence itself. Pay attention to the alert produced by your fear, whether the thing that's catalyzing your fear is inside of you or outside of you. 

If you pay attention, if you don't ignore your fear, you'll learn something important, either about what's inside of you, what's outside of you or both. Guaranteed.

Here's an a to z list of fears that are trying to teach people something!
