Minor word adjustments can have interesting effects. E.g. "Life is suffering" doesn't seem to be strictly correct. With a minor adjustment you can instead get: "Existence is suffering, thus Life is my cope."

Thus "that shadowy place" of fear is no longer an actual place but a *border*. It is the border between life and death. Death cannot actually enter consciousness because that's not possible by definition. You cannot be conscious of non-consciousness.
That border then becomes a friend because knowledge of that border is knowledge of your "edge" and means you are pushing yourself, gaining more knowledge to push back death further. (e.g. getting better at skiing to do more dangerous runs)

The reason a border can become a "place" is the same reason one stays 6 feet away from a cliff even though those 6 feet are perfectly safe provided you have clear and constant awareness of the edge.
-
The only way that edge can be focused on is by *really* wanting to live. Which is rarer than you think. Many sacrifice their lives for money the same a griefer in an multiplayer game constantly suicides their character. They "wipe out" as fear overrides conscious thought.
