Our consciousness is like a circle in which the bottom part is our store consciousness and the upper part is our mind consciousness. The fear of aging, the fear of illness, the fear of death, the fear of having to let go, and the fear of the consequences of our karma are all there in our store consciousness. We don’t want to face our fear, so we try to cover it up, keep it down there in the cellar. We don’t like it when somebody or something reminds us of it. We don’t want it showing itself in our mind consciousness.
