• Fear of danger is healthy. Fear runs much of the world, spurring on endless activity. Fear of enemies, of old age or death, of rejection, and a multitude of social fears are basic motivators in most people's lives. From the viewpoint of this level, the world looks hazardous, full of traps and threats […] Fear limits growth of the personality and leads to inhibition. Because it takes energy to rise above Fear, the oppressed are unable to reach a higher level unaided. Thus the fearful seek strong leaders who appear to have conquered their own fears to lead them out of its slavery. Power vs. Force, Kapitel IV, S. ?
• This then is the radical solution to inner problem. What we resist gains command of our lives. What we accept the worst of begins to vanish. Guilt and fear and worry and hate cannot possibly have any hold over our lives, except that which we give it by resistance.

• Fear has to do with not knowing that you're safe at all times. The mind will try to justify that fear as a rational decision. It's based on control, trying to control the future. As you get more sophisticated, you realize that survival is a function of the spirit, not of the ego. Sedona Seminar Thought and Ideation, bereit gestellt von Consciousnessproject.org, 28.

• Fear and agony tells you that it's the ego, so surrender it because it's not Truth. Sedona Seminar Thought and Ideation, bereit gestellt von Consciousnessproject.org, 28. Februar 2004
• Religions which are based on the fear of sin rather than on the love of God are inherently weak. The Path of Simplicity, Interview, US-Zeitschrift In Light Times, März 2005
• To surrender to God is to die. At that moment the warrior within you comes and then arises the fear of death. You have never experienced it before (death). There is the fear of death and the fear of the void. What arises is the terror of nothingness. At that moment, the energy of those who have been through it comes to you and you will remember to walk straight ahead no matter what. No matter how severe the fear, the greatest fear of all, walk through it. The terror lasts for an ungodly minute and then one has made it through.

• Surrender the fear of death to God and the whole stack of fears collapse. When you have no fear of death, you are fearless. Sedona Seminar Transcending Obstacles, September 2005
• There is one basic saying in zen that one can rely on completely: Walk through all fear no matter what, committed to spiritual truth, no matter what. Sedona Seminar Realization of the Self: The Final Moments, Dezember 2002

On anxiety and anguish

• These [anxiety] states come and go, you see. Because you work your way through a big stack and you are above your karma, so now you go into a state of semi-bliss, euphoria, happiness etc. Now you have earned the right to handle the next big stack that comes up. From this level you are entitled to handle this. Don't forget how far down to hell I went, to unearth that which was blocking that which was extremely high. So you are just rising above your karma. You will see the Christian saints, […] they will tell you how they went from elated states to states of despair. 'O my beloved how could you have deserted me'. States of great anguish, you see. Don't worry about the states of great anguish. Just surrender the anguish to God and constantly surrender all of it. Don't resist the anguish if it should come up because if you are serious, it will very likely come up again. I never knew anybody who just went into a state of happiness and stayed there all the way to Enlightenment, you see. The Buddha was beset by demons, Jesus Christ sweat blood. So there's anguish all the way. I don't like to say that because it sounds like a program, but experientially it is what goes on and you say: 'This too I surrender to Thee O Lord, whatever this anguish may mean or whatever it signifies.'
