so true

“Fake courage is still a form of armour. And, therefore, so long as there is armour, so long as there are defensive walls, they will provoke attack.

Real courage is not an armour; it is not a character armour. 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 onto anything, not having any armour, not having any beliefs, not having any kind of gimmick with which you try to hold the weaving 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.”

“The only way to handle danger is to face it. If you start getting frightened of it then you make it worse because you project onto it all kinds of bogies and threats which don’t exist in it at all.

Whenever you meet a ghost, don’t run away. Because the ghost will capture the substance of your fear and materialise itself out of your own substance. It will kill you eventually because it will take over all your own vitality.

So, then, whenever confronted with a ghost walk straight into it. And it will disappear.”

— Alan Watts
