    Dear NB,

    I apologize for not having replied earlier but I was consumed by the
    work of getting the latest Lesson in the Archaeous series recorded and
    posted. I'm back now though. :-)

    I really don't see any point in conceptualizing this recurring fear as a
    "larvae". It's simply a habitual learned behaviour, nothing more, and
    is best dealt with on that level.

    Auto-suggestion would be helpful in addressing this habit with a phrase
    along the lines of "I am stronger than my baseless fears."

    I also suggest that when you sit down to meditate, you begin with a
    meditation about your fear of disruption. Explore this fear and get to
    know it thoroughly. *And then consciously let go of it.* Simply
    release it and begin your regular meditation. Each time during your
    regular meditation that this fear presents itself, recognize that you
    are experiencing this fear, recognize that it is a pointless and
    unnecessary fear, release it and then return to your meditation. This
    WILL break the *habit* of this fear.

    >> I know this sounds quite pathological, <<

    No, it doesn't sound "pathological". ;-)

    >> ...And I realize now that I was never 100 % in my previous practices,
    regardless of what I may have believed at that time, and that this fear
    was present at the back of my mind all the time - even outside my
    meditations. Always unconsciously looking above my shoulder, so to
    speak. <<

    This would constitute an "interruption" of the mental exercises.

    >> I obviously tried to look at the elements-related components (Fire
    and Air and Water maybe, not to speak about Earth :-), <<

    To my mind, this would relate to the Earth Element.

    >> How can I suppress that fear ? <<

    Suppressing an irrational fear doesn't resolve anything in the long run.
    It might get you through the immediate moment, but a suppressed fear has
    a nasty way of resurfacing. An irrational fear must be *confronted*,
    head on, and *transformed*. Its power over you must be diffused through
    challenging it and thereby *proving to yourself* the fact of its
    irrationality.

    My best to you,
    :) Rawn Clark
