the room of 10,000 fears

a guru has a class of 100 students, and he tells them that he can help them arrive at nirvana with a shortcut. that shortcut is entering and going through the Room of Ten Thousand Fears, wherein one must face each and every one of his own fears. heights, spiders, death- each fear becomes real as you move through this room. and not all make it through, because once you enter the room, the door behind you disappears, and you cannot exit the room the same way you go into it. with this, 90 students get up and leave, preferring to continue their quest without this shortcut. the guru expresses his pride in the remaining 10, and shares with them the secret of passing through the room. once you are inside the room, and your fears are coming true and are coming upon you one after the other, you will want to stop, to close your eyes, to turn and run. the secret is to KEEP WALKING, and you will reach the other door.
