As I said, even the imperative demand. *Be* involves a unspoken connotative
implicative which corresponds to the utterer’s conceptualisation of that which
he demands the addressed to be. As for the infinitive version of *be* *Be
quiet! - Be still! Begone! *Be the Xmas Fairy if you insist on playing that
part in the school play!* etc., it speaks for itself.
Are you sure it doesn’t bespeak for itself? Drop the “be” and continue to
suffer autophobia.
