strong light confusion
Awareness of your weakness and confusion makes you strong because conscious awareness is the bright light that destroys the darkness of negativity. Detection of inner negativity is not a negative act, but a courageously positive act that makes you a new person.
block acceptance simple
Interpretation blocks reception while masquerading as reception. Rightness does not need interpretation; it requires simple acceptance and nothing else.
water tables cups
Mysticism is not this or that particular cup on the table; it is the water poured into all of them.
success fighting way
Instead of fighting your problems, picture your way out of them.
self giving brave
All we have to do is to receive what we are given...We are given the naturalness to love someone, to be calm in crisis, to ignore self-defeating suggestions, to be pleasant, forgiving, tender, helpful, unworried, brave, energetic.
self secret trying
Don't try to be unafraid. That is impossible. Rather, go ahead while being afraid. That is the entire secret for abolishing fear. The Supermind teaches us to have no self-concern at all. Whatever happens to you, act as though it happened to someone else.
loneliness self confusion
Happiness is yours in the here and now. The painful states of anxiety and loneliness are abolished permanently. Financial affairs are not financial problems. You are at ease with yourself. You are not at the mercy of unfulfilled cravings. Confusion is replaced with clarity. There is a relieving answer to every tormenting question. You possess a True Self. Something can be done about every unhappy condition. While living in the world you can be inwardly detached from its sorrows to live with personal peace and sanity.
spiritual apology men
The genuinely spiritual person is one who has lost all desire to be anyone but exactly who he is, without labels and without apologies. He is what he is and that's all there's is to it. Such a man is undivided, uncomplicated and contented.
thinking lasts planning
Can you think of anything more permanently elating than to know that you are on the right road at last?
years trying nonsense
See human nonsense as nonsense and save years of trying to make sense out of it.
believe looks belief
Don't look for someone in whom to believe. Believe in yourself. The only authentic authority is your own original nature.
challenges feelings way
An obvious fact about negative feelings is often overlooked. They are caused by us, not by exterior happenings. An outside event presents the challenge, but we react to it. So we must attend to the way we take things, not to the things themselves.
understanding acquisition
Happiness is not the acquisition of anything; it's the understanding of something.
truth honesty doors
Just be honest with yourself. That opens the door.
