Inner liberty can be judged by how often a person feels offended, for you can no more insult a mature man than you can paint the air.

Vernon Howard

All heartache is caused by wrong viewpoints.
VERNON HOWARD

Heartache Viewpoints Wrong
When one plan that you have, to get this or to get that, to advance in the world, or whatever it might be, when that seems in danger of veering off the path you have set for it.
VERNON HOWARD

Simple World Worry
Is the beam from a lighthouse affected by howling wind and rain? It remains perfectly steadfast and unaffected by the storm. Your true self is like that. Nothing can ever harm you once you are consciously aware that it is so.
VERNON HOWARD

Rain Self Wind
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
We must become acquainted with our emotional household: we must see our feelings as they actually are, not as we assume they are. This breaks their hypnotic and damaging hold on us.
VERNON HOWARD

Assuming Emotional Feelings
Don’t look for someone in whom to believe. Believe in yourself. The only authentic authority is your own original nature.
VERNON HOWARD

Belief Believe Looks
Interpretation blocks reception while masquerading as reception. Rightness does not need interpretation; it requires simple acceptance and nothing else.
VERNON HOWARD

Acceptance Block Simple
A person obsessed with the need to be happy will never be so. The obsession is the obstruction.

Pseudo-mysticism seeks to evade reality; authentic mysticism wants to live it.
VERNON HOWARD

Pseudo Reality Want
As incredible as it sounds, an unhappy man does not realize that happiness is better than unhappiness. Knowing only his own concealed anguish, he worships it, which is the same as self-worship.
VERNON HOWARD

Knowing Men Self
The search for truth is really a lot of good fun.
VERNON HOWARD

Fun Really Truth
It is a thousand times more sensible to climb one foot up the mountainside than to chatter for years about the mountaintop.
VERNON HOWARD

Feet Sensible Years
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.
VERNON HOWARD

Always Assuming Force Genuine People Thievery
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
There is no way reality can be prevented from flowing the way it flows. It is our vain attempts to force it to flow in the service of our imaginary needs which sets us in painful conflict with our- selves and nature.
