“19. Comfort: Human beings are driven by the desire for comfort. Always remember when you’re dealing with anyone, if you say or do anything that threatens their sense of comfort you’ll have a fight on your hands. Don’t push people psychologically. They’ll resist and push back. Use tact, slow down, take your time and introduce new ideas to them gradually, so they’ll feel at ease with you.”
“24. Environment: Correctly so, people are concerned with the health of our natural environment. However, what could be more important than our psychological/spiritual environment? Yet, few are concerned. There is never a right, healthy time to feel bad. Cheerfulness is a nice, healthy environment. People who spread pollution with their gloomy spirit should be avoided. They will pollute your spirit.”
“33. Questions: Maybe you have already noticed that people will ask questions, but almost never listen to the answers. Why? They are only interested in answers that confirm them and their way of looking at things. If the answer challenges anything about them, the wall goes up instantly. Of course, they will swear they really want to learn and are all ears. They most likely will be able to quote word for word what was said to them, but they never really heard a thing.”
Short, simple and powerful. You don’t need a long sermon to teach you how to live a nice life!
These powerful guides have helped to understand the following observations in myself. Thank you!
1. Do not be the center of your false existence.
2. Human problems only exists with the denial of Truth.
3. The present moment has no association with the pain of yesterday.
4. Your true nature has no desire for mental suffering.
5. The breakdown is of the false natures own belief of existence.
6. The goal of no longer thinking from the false self.
7. The cosmic power to put yourself on the cross.
8. When you see that the problem is caused by your own thoughts, you no longer react mechanically to your false condition.
9. The use of pain to observe and expose the false identities and feel the shock of your inner development.
10. The dark cannot penetrate the light.
“The past casts no shadows on a man with cosmic light” is the one quote above that hits home this morning. If one views themselves as they travel through their day they can see the past has a gripping strong hold on everything they do. We stop at the same coffee shops, zip into our favorite gas station and shop at places were we feel comfortable and safe, which is o.k. but instead of sheepishly following these leads from our thoughts, wouldn’t it be better to know absolutely why we follow them. There might be a good reason and there might not be. Quietly and persistently observing this going on turns a punishing day into a day of self-discovery. Everything can be used to shine the light on processes that formally have been operating in the dark. If you are ahead of the thought that says this is becoming a boring day, your day will not be boring, something new and different will happen inside.
