The primordial fear is the fear of not existing, fear of being extinguished, the fear of collapsing out of existence, fear of oblivion, of death.
You actually are afraid of losing this fear of death (no contradiction here!)
because you think the fear is what enables you to live, or at least, postpone death.(partly true, of course)
This fear cannot be countered with courage, because courage is merely the counter point to fear.
Courage can only exist where fear exists.
If you can lose this fear and can yet continue with life, you will merge seamlessly with the cosmos, for the cosmos has no fear of extinction.
The fear of death cannot prevent you from dying. It can only prevent you from living.
