Courage
Commonly defined as that quality of mind (or spirit) which enables one to meet danger and difficulties with firmness, but it is not generally known that courage is increased by proper development of psychic energy.
Courage can be acquired only in the heart. In the cerebral sinuosity of the brain, one can find an intelligent distribution of forces, but the courage that proceeds by the straightest and most luminous path cannot exist outside the heart; judge it by the antipode of courage—fear. First of all, fear reacts upon the heart and from there proceeds to the extremities. Verily, all qualities are measured by the heart. (H, 201)
Verily courage is created through the indissoluble link with the Hierarchy. Courage can be contained in the seed and never reveal itself as armor of Light. But when our consciousness is completely transported into the domain where there is no fear and depression, then we are invulnerable to any filth. One should understand where lies one’s strength and should hasten thither without any evasiveness. Thus can courage be made firm. (FW II, 72)
Readiness is true courage. (BR, 376)
