Thanks for the complements. My experience is that meditation is the best way to pick apart your fears. I first calm my mind with Ānāpānasati, meaning "mindfulness of breathing" and then try to figure out how my mind works. It's honestly a lot like computer programs. Software is an act of emulating human thought. They look a lot like each other. The mind is simply more complicated. Just like you can change a program when you understand it, you can change your behavior, though patterns and ways of thinking when you truly and deeply understand these things.
