Study carefully the law of cause and effect.

Vernon Howard

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.
VERNON HOWARD

Needs Reality Self
Your central self is totally untouched by grief, confusion, desperation.
VERNON HOWARD

Confusion Grief Self
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
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
We are slaves to whatever we don’t understand.

Causes Law Study
It is a mistake for anyone to think he has lived too long in his old, unsatisfactory ways to make the great change. If you switch on the light in a dark room, it makes no difference how long it was dark because the light will still shine. Be teachable. That is the whole secret.
VERNON HOWARD

Creativity Dark Mistakes
What you really want for yourself is always trying to break through, just as a cooling breeze flows through an open window on a hot day. Your part is to open the windows of your mind.
VERNON HOWARD

Always Break Mind Through Trying
The world consists of imaginary people, claiming imaginary virtues and suffering from imaginary happiness.
VERNON HOWARD

People Suffering World
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
The leap is made by dropping vanity over knowledge and by a willingness to become nothing in order to become everything.
