What lies at the core of heroism? This chapter attempts to answer this daunting question. At its heart, out of sight but driving people’s heroic behavior, lurks a heroic consciousness that “sees” the world through a broader, deeper, and enlightened lens. Heroic behavior is always a reflection of an expanded and mature consciousness. This highly developed consciousness lies at the core of heroism and makes extraordinarily positive, selfless, and inspirational behavior possible.
