Buddhist Teachings: Fear and Fearlessness

For a very good accounting (integrally) of how to "build" a healthy, sustainable community upon contemplative (spiritual) practices, and with the emphasis on chakra's (healing and development) at one, two, three --foundations of the self, go to the talk (at 1 hr and 13 min. mark especially)--as these spiritual practitioners (E-W) talk about the importance of "attachment" psychologies and ecologies--that is, as John Churchill says in the talk "The most important mental factor in Buddhist psychology is trust" (which, is one's relationship to faith and fear, in a nutshell): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38AZx0AtgAg

Fearlessness as path, as many including myself have argued, is best practiced with this foundational "attachment" concern in mind, not denied, not by-passed, but as central to healthy lower-self systems of development so that the higher spiritual levels of consciousness can be held in a good integrated way and produce the best results in the long-run.
