fear is the most basic of survival instincts but what is it in your own head that you think can hurt you? what is in your own skull that you imagine threatens your survival?
if one believes in actual invisible predators, in literal demons that stalk one's soul, then yeah, i guess the inside of one's head would be a scary place. i don't believe in such things. any snarling monsters or sly deceitful entities i might encounter in my own headspace are my own self aspects and the appearance of such imaginative unpleasant critters in there simply indicates i have more work to do. i go on a monster hunt into the jungles of my subconscious. i follow the spoor and track my fear produced "evil" self aspect to it's source. the source is usually just my child self, traumatized, terrified, isolated and confused, still scared of the hissing monster lurking under the bed, the boogyman in the closet and other assorted anthropomorphized projections of anxiety.
