In the orientations Jack explores the relation between distance and fear saying:
“Incidentally, this kind of “no-distance” experience may have significant psychological benefits. For instance, separation and distance seem to encourage fear reactions. If we are not distant, can we be afraid?”
I guess only when the “self” and consequently distance have completely dissolved
can there be fearlessness.
On the way there, a vanishing sense of distance might quite well be the source of tremendous fears.
Moments where the self loosens up or dissolves partly are often accompanied by fears.
Practicing TSK we might want to be prepared for these kind of experiences and maybe welcome them as signs of “being close”.
