“Fear is only our reading…the mood reflected in our contraction, our recoil from infinity, our attempts to survive, our narcissism. If instead of holding on – to mind and emotion and body and relations and the world itself – we release it all, there is no fear whatsoever.
Fear is only the reflection of the holding on.”
–Adi Da, The Religion of the Whole Body, 1977
