fear never-fear
You must never fear anything at all.
inspirational hurt fear
How would you feel if you had no fear? Feel like that. How would you behave toward other people if you realized their powerlessness to hurt you? Behave like that. How would your react to so-called misfortune if you saw its inability to bother you? React like that. How would you think toward yourself if you knew you were really all right? Think like that.
carefully cause law
Stucy carefully the law of cause and effect.
change loss
Change is never a loss - it is change only.
fall men relaxation
A cheery relaxation is man's natural state, just as nature itself is relaxed. A waterfall is concerned only with being itself, not with doing something it considers waterfall-like.
spiritual teacher fall
The Truth must be told at all costs, no matter how unpopular it may be. The authentic spiritual leader, having freed himself of his own false need to be popular, tells the Truth whether it falls on fertile or stony ground. Such a teacher is the salt of the earth, though few know it. If you think the world is delirious as is, you would find it intolerable without his healing influence.
time needs can-do
You need only choose ... then keep choosing as many times as necessary. That is all you need do. And it is certainly something you can do. Then as you continue to choose, everything is yours.
law causes study
Study carefully the law of cause and effect.
freedom kingdoms realizing
We clearly realize that freedom's inner kingdom cannot be touched by exterior attacks.
regret mistake past
The power of the present moment is so immense it is capable - when lived in fully - of destroying forever every past mistake and regret.
movement outcomes bitterness
Bitterness is the outcome of a wrong mental movement - the attempt to force external events to conform to internal fantasy. The cure is to see fantasy as fantasy, which will reveal it as neither necessary nor rewarding.
money absurd cures
One of society's absurd delusions is that the spending of money can cure something.
love mistake home
Do not mistake desire for love. Desire leaves home in a frantic search for one gratification after another. Love is at home with itself.
water understanding desire
We cannot be free of nagging desires through suppression. This is like trying to keep a rubber boat beneath the water. But we remove compulsive desires altogether by understanding their nature.
