Just As Surely As Distress

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. 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.

Be Teachable. That Is The Whole Secret.

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.

The Truth Must Be Told At All Costs, No Matter How Unpopular It May Be. The Authentic Spiritual Leader, Having Freed Himself Of His Own False Need To Be Popular, Tells The Truth Whether It Falls On Fertile Or Stony Ground. Such A Teacher Is The Salt Of The Earth, Though Few Know It. If You Think The World Is Delirious As Is, You Would Find It Intolerable Without His Healing Influence.

You Cannot Stop Destructive Actions By Others, But You Can Stop Your Own Destructive Reactions To Them
