“Fear is only the reflection of the holding on”

“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
