Self-knowledge is the great power by which we comprehend and control our lives

Vernon Howard

We clearly realize that freedom’s inner kingdom cannot be touched by exterior attacks.
VERNON HOWARD

Freedom Kingdoms Realizing
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.
VERNON HOWARD

Consider Fall Men Mind
Don’t try to be spiritual. That is only a word in the dictionary. Make it your goal to become a normally functioning individual. Let these principles shape you according to your real nature of a simple, decent, honest, unafraid human being.
VERNON HOWARD

Real Simple Spiritual
Anger or bitterness toward those who have hurt you will block your path to higher ground. You can have anger toward people or you can have freedom from people, but you can’t have both.
VERNON HOWARD

Block Ground Higher Hurt
If you call one thing good, you must call its opposite bad. If you think it wonderful to make a big profit in your business, you will also think it terrible if you incur a large loss. The idea is to live above the opposites.
VERNON HOWARD

Loss Opposites Thinking
Do not let them deceive you into assuming that they are creative forces; they are not. They are thieves of genuine powers. As always, your awareness of their thievery is your first fine step toward casting them out.

Mysticism is not this or that particular cup on the table; it is the water poured into all of them.
VERNON HOWARD

Cups Tables Water
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.
VERNON HOWARD

Desire Understanding Water
You know what is right. Deep down, you know. The battle between your true wisdom and the counterfeit wisdom of society is what causes frustration. Refuse to compromise with what you know is right-with what is right for you.
VERNON HOWARD

Battle Causes Frustration
Study carefully the law of cause and effect.
VERNON HOWARD

Causes Law Study
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.
VERNON HOWARD

Challenges Feelings Gratitude
When you are genuinely strong, you neither attack nor defend and so retain your energy.
