-Vernon Howard, The Mystic Path to Cosmic Power
These “Fifteen Ways” help you stay on track to how, and where, and when to work on yourself. One huge problem humans have is believing they are at a high level already and only need some touching up here and there. The truth will knock you right off that false psychological pedistal and you will be sure all is lost forever, and then, something new is born and you will place more energy into seeking correctly and have a good laugh at your stupidity. Seeing yourself as you really are is pure gold whether others know it or not.
If you have ever wished that life might show you a much more rewarding path and also felt very trapped by your station in life, then these teachings are for you. “There must be more to life than this.” is a cry into the Universe for help. The Universe, God, Higher Power, whatever you would like to call it, hears you and says come this way. I have no regrets for following this impulse to know what is true and wish to continue on this fascinating journey. Your life can be completely changed.
Thank You, very helpful to keep these in front of me, so I don’t forget what is important.
