Seen here, these imaginings still stem from the known, although

perhaps not "fear of the known coming to an end" (e.g. your point is

taken).

 

Even the idea of "the unknown" comes from the known... there is no

such cognizable thing as "the unknown," thus it doesn't seem to be

something "fearable."

 

Namaste,
