Episode description

Listener question: I am considering what is at stake when the fear is future physical suffering. It’s not immediate physical harm or the examples of idea of self you gave. But since the fear is about something physical (sensations and harm), there does seem to be something solid there to protect. It does seem like a mother bear on its hind legs - not in front of me but around the corner! Although I see that it is all a creation of mind - and therefore as nonexistent as identity, confidence, reputation, etc. - it feels different enough that it seems to have a grip that those don’t. Can you help clarify how to move closer in to that?
