Fear of any kind breeds illusion; it makes the mind dull, shallow. Where there is fear there is obviously no freedom, and without freedom there is no love at all. And most of us have some form of fear; fear of darkness, fear of public opinion, fear of snakes, fear of physical pain, fear of old age, fear of death. We have literally dozens of fears. And is it possible to be completely free of fear? >~ [[Jiddu Krishnamurti - Total Freedom_ the Essential Krishnamurti|Jiddu Krishnamurti]] ![horrifying bear creature, fangs, style of zdislaw beksinski ](https://lexica-serve-encoded-images.sharif.workers.dev/md/07511c07-01ff-428d-ba31-0132a90193ff) >Understanding fear. - To understand your fear is the beginning of really seeing. >~ [[Bruce Lee]] ![epic professional digital art of terrible hunger, atmospheric lighting, drawn, complex, detailed, foreboding, mysterious, mystical, leesha hannigan, wayne haag, reina rocin, ignacio fernandez rios, mark ryden, iris van herpen, epic, stunning, magnificent, a lot of wow, cinematic, masterpiece ](https://lexica-serve-encoded-images.sharif.workers.dev/md/10a1c12a-fdac-466e-b38a-b16aa89a3895) All fears grows from the same trunk: fear of non-being.
