J. Krishnamurti on Fearlessness

I am searching always for "fearist" philosophers of education, informing my own emergent critical and integral philosophy and approach to education. As a fearist myself (along with others, like Desh Subba, Samuel N. Gillian), we recognize certain features of thought, and priorities of values--and, they will inevitable circulate around the kinds of statements and arguments made by a philosopher (or just a critical thinker). So you can see in this Krishnamurti quote, exactly why I have been attracted to his work for over 40 years, and more recently, as I am studying word for word his writing in his 1953/81 book "Education and the Significance of Life." He continually references fear on near every page often repeatedly and then by p. 46 he hits the 'jackpot' for me as he starts to mention "fearlessness" --and I say, of course, he had to talk about that too!
