Curt... Everyone has to face this fear point in the mind, and eventually go on through it.

It may be you're scaring yourself by calling it "cosmic consciousness", which seems very grand and challenging.

What if, instead, you began to think of of it as "my true nature" (which it is) and you're just getting to know yourself, your inner being better... more intimately and wholly.

And... you might begin to see that these nasty thoughts are... just thoughts. By observing them with a little detachment and acceptance they'll start to change, and so will your fear.
