I'm still not sure I understand what you mean OldDog. When you say doubt, as in "I doubt God's existence", do you also mean doubting the sorcerer's world as described in Carlos' books?

If so, I would consider that a fear of being duped. That's where believing without believing, or acting without expectations comes into play. Facing that fear would be acting for the hell of it.

Also, fear of public speaking is a REAL FEAR! One well worth facing I'd say.
