Ignorant people remain ignorant because they have a secret agreement to call one another intelligent.

Vernon Howard

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
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
When you are genuinely strong, you neither attack nor defend and so retain your energy.
VERNON HOWARD

Energy Mind Strong
You are not separate from the flowing reality; you are that flowing reality. See this and you will not see any- thing else which conflicts with it. You will be what you see.
VERNON HOWARD

Conflicts Else Flowing Things
Examine every action and reaction. Do you act naturally or do you act because you feel compelled? If you feel compelled, stop. Compulsion is slavery. Example: Refuse to go along with the crowd.
VERNON HOWARD

Completed Examine Naturally Refuse
The power of the present moment is so immense it is capable – when lived in fully – of destroying forever every past mistake and regret.

VERNON HOWARD

Doors Honesty Truth
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

A perfect method for awakening is to examine the results of our daily actions. If they are harmful, we know we need more consciousness.
VERNON HOWARD

Awakening Needs Perfect
The need to impress others causes half the world’s woes.
VERNON HOWARD

Half Needs World
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
One false idea is that anyone can hurt you. Events can ruin your reputation, take your money, mistreat you, revenge itself upon you, deceive, betray, abandon you, but cannot hurt you.
VERNON HOWARD

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