Truth does not really hurt, rather it is our resistance to its message that causes us pain.

Vernon Howard

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
All forms of self-defeating behavior are unseen and unconscious, which is why their existence is denied.
VERNON HOWARD

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

VERNON HOWARD

Happiness is not the acquisition of anything; it’s the understanding of something.
VERNON HOWARD

Acquisition Understanding
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
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
All heartache is caused by wrong viewpoints.
VERNON HOWARD

Heartache Viewpoints Wrong
Whenever encountering a troublesome person, do not identify him as being cruel or stupid or rude or anything else like that. Instead, see him as a frightened person.
VERNON HOWARD

Frightened Rude Stupid
