Why is it that part of you fears the unknown?

Not everyone realizes the nature of the world of matter.  To fear the unknown is to fall prey to ignorance and self-doubt.  You exist in physical form because of spirit and things unseen.  Not permitting yourself to realize the Truth keeps you where you are. 

When you ask people who admit fear of death or other aspects of life why they feel as they do, they often have no conclusive explanation.  They refer to conditioning by religious doctrrine or accept inclinations to worry about situations that may never arise.

Imagine how your perspective would change if you came to believe you could do nothing to disconnect you from your heritage.  Practice seeing beyond the assumptions of other people.  As you focus on events unfolding now, you are rewarded by character growth.

As Silver Birch says, "There is no experience that comes to the human soul, which rightly understood and rightly faced does not leave you better for it." 

This reminds me of a phrase by Lao Tzu who said "A Journey of 1000 miles begins with a single step."  That phrase is perhaps the most well-known phrase of the Tao Te Ching.  As you change how you think, you realize how preventable certain kinds of thinking are.

"... you could do nothing to disconnect you from your heritage."

Oh my word, SUCH beautiful truth. Oh the peace and calm, the safety and love of it is infinitely sweet, We are truly blessed. It leaves me breathless and makes me want to lay upon the Earth and weep from the joy of it.

Such beauty.

It is hard to really get to the bottom of where this fear based conditioning gets into peoples psyches and spirits.

Worry and fear are a modern plague it is sad to say

Robin, human beings are disoriented whenever they judge their circumstances based on standards of the physical world. This kind of thinking does not reveal the truth about eternal standards or a satisfied soul. As you value everything as it is, you expect your life to be a constant series of positive experiences. Then, you get them. Nothing happens by chance. Your inner thoughts and feels create the life you live. You can change it too.

Steve, the only person you need be concerned with in this regard, is yourself. Each human being has innate knowledge and the potential for greater self-understanding. Everything you think and feel is a choice. Part of you senses truth. That comes with a responsibility you are still evolving to discover. Changing your thoughts alters your life.
