I saw a video about eg death with Jordan Peterson where he is paraphrasing Jung and it got me thinking about fear and the fear I’ve been facing in the last 3 years or so. A fear in interactions with others, both in myself but in them too, and I couldn’t pin it down, what was causing it? Loosing your ego is scary as hel, because you loose your medium to relate to the world and other people. Your dad isn’t your dad anymore, he is just an animal. It sound ridiculous maybe, but when faced with that perspective, where you don’t have the medium to translate his physical presence to the historical meaning of your relationship, is terrifying. So a part of the fear maybe stems from the same branch so to speak. The fear of loosing your way to relate to things and be faced with pure awareness, if you are not in tune with your sole/self, then that interaction has no medium, but will just be two unconscious animals meeting each other, hence the fear, and hence that you can on the opposite feel very safe with some people as their awareness stretch to a deeper level, beyond the regular consciousness of the ego.
Just though I would share my experiences as you were talking about the origin of fear and the though came to me when hearing about Jungs thoughts about it.
