Having just gotten home from a Sangha meeting, this resonates deeply with the end of our discussion. A woman had asked what others got form their practice, and an experienced practitioner answered that, for her, it isn't about receiving anything - although she has noticed and learned things about herself along the way. The discussion then expounded upon the pitfalls of goals, expectations, and the competition that inevitably ensues. Another member commented that our brains are wired to problem solve and analyze when we aren't actively engaged with a task, so meditation could be seen as a certain grain against natural tendencies. It really struck a chord with me in terms of the importance of awareness and intentions.

true/uncreated self: no self, no nonself
beyond ideas/signs/concept; suchness

or

created self: mental images and reactions

"The self-concept or ego is nothing more than a set of reactions and mental images that are artificially pasted to the flowing process of pure awareness."
Mindfulness by Bhante Henepola Gunaratana

If their body controls them, they can be made afraid.  If you look at your body as a means to accomplish the task then there is no fear.
