Dear Olivier, >> Not much activity on the list lately! << ;-) Usually, I think of that as a good thing since it means folks are a) busy doing the Work and/or b) finding their own answers within themselves. >> What are fears and phobias? Do they symbolize aspects of our selves that we are afraid to meet? For example, what would correspond to vertigo, the fear of heights, or to the fear of insects or spiders? Is it ultimately the fear of death? << Ultimately, all fears can be traced back to a fear of death but it's not always *physical* death. For example, it can be the death of an old way of being, or of a cherished pattern of thought, a relationship, emotional attachment, social standing, etc. One can also look at it as the fear of (or resistance to) *change*, as opposed to "death".
