The Principle of Fearlessness refers to the life force that springs unthinkingly, when we are connected to the source. It is not even ours! It is the eagle's as she soars. It is the dragon's as he vaults from the earth. It is the gung fu master who challenges his opponent (a wizard) to a duel and says when he is asked how he dared, "I am not afraid of death . . . and if necessary let me have the taste of it." It is the naked gall of two wart hogs attacking a leopard in defense of their litter. It is the samurai on the bridge two swords drawn fending off 20 better armed opponents. It is the modern executive who shows up at a meeting in a foreign capital to find a different deal and 13 well prepared opponents. It is the Swedish producer of prefab houses who when he is swindled squares off against a $60 billion Japanese conglomerate and prevails! It is the many doctors, faithful to their calling, who risk their lives with the Ebola, Lassa and other viruses in the Sudan, and the nameless missionaries in remote bush hospitals who even as they died kept the faith.
How to Develop Fearlessness
| From the shadow | |
Eat your power |
| From your mission | |
Build the vision |
| From the tiger and the snake, from the bear and the great elk, the winds and the tides and the earth and the sea | |
Learn from the teachers, from the light - Take her in the gusts of the morning |
