Relationship between one's greatest fear and spiritual progression

[zenmaster]

That it is our fears themselves that keep us "chained" to this reality.

Hopes keep us chained here as well. Actually anything that draws us away from the present due to lack of acceptance.

Regarding graduation, I feel even more confident that it is not necessary to overcome one's fears. I think it is necessary only to raise one's "vibration" past a certain threshold.

I would agree with this accept fear is also an indicator of the unexplored aspects of self. If these aspects of self can not be explored, they can not be accepted. Blockages and imbalances due to lack of acceptance of self is what prevents vibration from rising.
