Norah

So the word "Norah" in Hebrew means both "light" and "a sense of fear arising from a sense of energy one feels too small to contain. I can see the kabalistic significance of this (shattered vessels of Light) but also the significance to anyone who has felt intimidated to express a skill or talent fearing they aren't good enough to do it well. (A MAJOR struggle for me) Interesting to me is that the word Ra is also in this word. A word meaning selfishness, or negative influence. Could this kind of fear be selfish? Could my fear of public performance be selfish? What do you all think? Do you have your own examples of fearing you possess something greater than you can handle? How do you deal with it?
