Have you been through any episodes where fear is the active ingedient or catylyst for an enlightenment?
I have faced the <i>illusion</i> of fear many times. I believe I was only ever truly afraid of death - not so much of dying, but of the loss of the living of life. Maybe. I'm still dealing with it, by and by, as time goes, I fear it less and less.
I have never met anyone who managed to give a convincing argument as to <i>why</i> fear should be a reason to seek Truth, or to be closer to God. I do both of these things simply because this path has heart. It makes me whole and content to do so.
I believe that fear motivates those who need the motivating.
