Fear is wisdom It's not true that fear is not recommended by the sages. Or Rabbi Nachman. The first line in the siddur, instituted by the sages, after "modeh ani" thanking Hashem for giving us back our souls is: "Reishit Chochmah Yirat Ado-nay" : "The beginning of wisdom is the fear of Hashem". The first thing we say every day!!! Only when one fears Hashem can one feel true shame for what one has done. And Rabbi Nachman teaches that without fear of Hashem teshuva is impossible, even if it is the lowest level.

Rebbe Nachman’s Teachings I feel it necessary to remind the readers that all the points made so eloquently here yet are attributed solely to Rabbis Arush and Brody are indeed the holy teachings of Rabbi Nachman of Breslev, that in turn they selflessly dedicate their lives to spread. Our esteemed Rabbis are surely the tireless messengers, yet not the originators of the teachings. I think it's important to make this distinction. I'm sure they would agree wholeheartedly.
