EP18: Q&A Session | Courage, The Missing Ingredient for Spirirtual Growth and Success
Description
In this episode of the Greatness Glory Podcast, We dive into the nature of courage and fear — two forces that shape both spiritual progress and everyday life. We explore why all traditions emphasize courage as essential for self-realization, and how fear, rooted in ignorance, can be transformed through awareness, love, and practice.We also discuss the difference between fear and recklessness, overcoming anxiety, collective fears passed down through culture and genetics, and the ultimate fear of death. Along the way, we share insights from Vedanta, Buddhism, Sufism, shamanism, and psychology — plus practical techniques to face fear, build courage, and discover your true fearless nature.⏱️ Timestamps00:00 – Introduction: Courage and fear in spirituality and life02:10 – Courage in Eastern traditions: Vedanta, Tantra, Bhagavad Gita05:34 – Kevin on fear vs. love: is fear natural or an illusion?09:01 – The biological role of fear & spiritual transcendence11:14 – Fear vs. recklessness: courage with consciousness15:00 – Faith, devotion & historical examples of fearless saints18:20 – Witness consciousness & overcoming emotions22:17 – Instinct vs. fear vs. intuition24:42 – Can humans transcend fear completely?27:42 – Fear of God vs. love of God in religion31:26 – Anxiety vs. fear in modern life33:09 – Practical techniques to overcome fear & anxiety37:46 – Collective fear, ancestral trauma & free will42:46 – Fear of death as the root of all fears45:12 – Facing death as a spiritual practice48:00 – Rumi’s poem on death as freedom and sunrise50:00 – Closing reflections & gratitude📘 Buy the book Art of Balance: [https://amzn.to/4jAii7l](https://amzn.to/4jAii7l)🌐 Learn more / contact me: [https://greatnessglory.com](https://greatnessglory.com)#GreatnessGloryPodcast #Courage #Fear #KevinWise #IsaacSian #SpiritualStrength #OvercomingFear #Anxiety #SpiritualGrowth #WitnessConsciousness #Vedanta #Buddhism #Sufism #Shamanism #Rumi #ArtOfBalance
