Hello Tony,
To me, and from my experience of childhood, fear is not the primeval
subconscious feeling of separation. Amazement, or the beauty of
strangeness, is more.
"There is no excellent beauty that hath not some strangeness in the
proportion." (Francis bacon)
This amazement brings a taste for adventure, and like a little child's
touching with no fear the fire for the first time, a fear from it is
born from pain. From the amazement of our own beauty that we want to
touch, and with habit and pain, comes the "other" one, or the "something
else", we come to fear.
This picture nicely express the amazement i am referring to:

As amazement was an entry door into the world of separation it may also
be the door out of it. But it's a more delicate path than just killing
the fear...
Joy,
Antoine
