I am Keith. Everything around me is the world. It's not just below my feet. I'm talking the whole of existence here. That's the world. It's a lot bigger than me. It's a lot bigger than you and everybody else.
That's why it's around me and not the other way around. So...I'll show you the world around me, how I see it.
★
I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.
- Litany Against Fear (from Dune by Frank Herbert, 1965)
