You Talkin' To Me?

"Fear is one of the weapons of our ego. It protects the ego. If one reaches the stage where one begins to see the folly of ego, then there is the fear of losing the ego, and fear is one of its last weapons.

Beyond that point fear no longer exists, because the object of fear is to frighten somebody, and when that somebody is not there, then fear loses its function. You see, fear is continually given life by your response, and when there is no one to respond to fear - which is ego loss - then fear ceases to exist."

Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche
