Real courage is possible only through seeing.
It's not possible through belief in the divine self,
which we all share in common, as if that were
something you could believe in. This is only to
be discovered through not hanging on to anything,
not having any armor, not having any beliefs, not
having any kind of gimmick with which to try to
hold the weaving of smoke in position. You don't
need it. If you really are the basis of the world,
you don't need a belief that that is so.
