The Wisdom of Fear
from The Tao of Christ · host Marshall Davis
There is a lot of fear in religion. There is unhealthy fear – like fear of hell and punishment. There is also healthy fear, which the proverb says, “is the beginning of wisdom.” This episode is the most personal of any I have made. I share autobiographical stories of three occasions in my life when fear gripped me. Eventually this was seen as fear of the death of the self. This revealed the reality of the no-self. This death of the self and birth of Spirit in awareness is the real meaning of Jesus’ words about being born again, born anew, born of the Spirit.
