Abstract
. In the views of Molavi and Heidegger, the lack of knowledge of authentic existence regarding being and its possibilities leads it to become absorbed in the ordinary concerns of the world, causing it to forget itself as an independent individual. However, authentic and true existence, in addition to being aware of its possibilities, perceives itself as unfamiliar and heterogeneous in the world. It feels fear and alienation from "being in the world" and seeks to achieve authentic openness through this fear-awareness and contemplation of death—which is attained by overcoming conventional perceptions. The foundation of the breakthroughs of the existence of authentic being lies in listening and heeding the inner call; typically, these heartfelt calls are heard in border situations, and it is in such circumstances that the conditions for returning to authenticity and escaping inauthenticity are created. Fear-awareness and consequently death-awareness also manifest in emergency and exceptional conditions. In fact, it is through the process of these two propositions that a person can reach individuality and transform from a dispersed individual into a singular being. From the moment an individual steps into the realm of existence, they strive to resolve this feeling of unfamiliarity and alienation of "being in the world" in two ways: either by immersing themselves in the affairs of the surrounding world and its desires or by attempting to reach a higher openness by avoiding daily habits.
