Anybody felt it? I don't know if it's the Dark Night of the Soul or the Sickness Unto Death but it seems to define itself as the ultimate fear. I had it the other night in bed and it sort of hit a wall and I felt fear could go no further. Sort of comforting now I look back. This fear has a frozen aspect to it. I always feel being frozen in time would be the worst fate. But then perhaps it's just me rembering the biological experience of freezing to stay alive from a predator, where running would make me visible

Since you mention things that sound a little theological, there was a nice book by Thomas Moore (I hope) called "Care for the Soul".

Thanks Declan. Looks like my kind of book so I've ordered it. I presume he isn't the Thomas Moore who wrote Utopia Fred

He was a catholic priest who became a psychotherapist? He's very nice. And he wrote another book on sex (as I dimly remember) which was pretty good. Kinda Jungian.
