yes surely agree with you that fears are illusions delusions
unreal of the mind. fear manifest through subject, object and it is
all in the mind thats playing all along, fear itself is an element
on its own connecting to many other factors to manifest and be
created. because we are so fixed, from going through so much long
long chapters in the samsaric cycle, we are rooted to it. its not
an over-night thing to conquest fear. it takes practice courage and
patience to go through it again and again and again till you
overcome cease it.
not until you truly come face to face with "fear" will you know
what "fear" truly is. and that is none other than your own true
self. you rule over your fears not fear rule over you.
in meditation, for cultivators, just as buddha had mentioned and
guided us, we will come face to face with fears and other elements,
no one can escape and deny them untill you overcome it
gradually.
