Hi,
In my mind there are 3 considerations.
(1) Our conditioning plays a major factor in everything. None of us can move foreward with any thing until we learn to re-write our thought patterns on any given matter.
(2) All humans fear the unknown and the unknowable. This is a reality and fact of life. Learning to deal with what frightens us is a skill which can be developed.
(3) There is both light and dark in everything. Those energies exist in our outer world however they are strongest within the self in my view. They frame our perspective and control our outlook on life.
The core belief that we are loved and created in the image of God is a central belief to foster. For without that, everything is frightening.
