====== Litany against fear ======
The **//Litany against fear//** is an incanation of fictional Bene Gesserit order in Frank Herbert's "Dune" book series. It was taught by Lady Jessica to her son Paul Atreides to withstand the test by Agony Box with Gom Jabbar poison inside.

  I must not fear.
  Fear is the mind-killer.
  Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
  I will face my fear.
  I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
  And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
  Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
