The Zohar provides a full classification of the different kinds of fear. It says in the “Preface to the Book of Zohar,” article “Pkudin Oraita, Pkuda Kadmaa”: There are two fears of this world and two fears of the Upper World. Only the last of these fears is noble and good. The rest appear due to uncorrected egoism, evoking imaginary images of fictitious causes of fear. However, when man uses these fears correctly for his spiritual advancement, he gains the ability to control and accelerate his path to spiritual ascension.
