If I learned anything on the wisdom path, it was to be fearless. I learned that being truly fearless in life has to do with the part of yourself you identify with. If you identify solely with your little ego (we do have a bigger ego), you will always be in survival mode, always afraid of losing your self. When you identify with your Higher Self, that part of you that is Spirit, your perspective changes to knowing you will always be sustained. It takes work on the wisdom path to get to this place of fearlessness because we are human beings operated on by physical forces. The little self is impermanent. Spirit is permanent.
