I Will Remember
     “Write 10 to 15 single sentences each beginning with the same three words, I will remember. Examples:
     I will remember to use the devil to destroy the devil.
     I will remember not to be a burden to anyone.
     I will remember that I always need more effort.

The Greatest Good News on Earth
     Thank God we found out what didn’t work — and it never will! Now the greatest good news on earth is that there is a way! It’s not the way we have tried but you have to have so much courage and so much persistence to drop trying that way! It’s incredible that we don’t get to the end of our rope before we do! You have to get to the end of your rope — the absolute end of it! If there’s another inch there — no good! For heaven’s sake, get to the end of it and then let go! When you let go of the rope and you stay there — you’re beginning to be a human being who can be kindly without effort. You’re beginning to be one of the few human beings on earth who ever really became sane. You’ll be one of the few human beings who was ever truly “born again.”

Non-Interference
     Let anything that happens to you, happen and just sit there and watch it. Don’t interfere with it. Don’t do anything about it. Don’t try to correct it. Don’t try to ease the pain, the tension, the anxiety. Just sit there and take it. Let the outer situation do anything it wants to you until you see that it is not doing it at all but that you are. That’s why you have to remain right where you are until you see that you are doing it; not that man, not that woman, not that society — I am doing it all by myself. I am attributing power out there because I am falsely attributing power to my negative self which doesn’t exist.

Go Through the Fear
     You have to go through this, the fear of losing someone who knows more than you do. No one knows more than your own recovered essence! No one inwardly, deeply, is any smarter than anyone else. The only difference in someone who knows is that they have been working longer or harder than you have. What some great avatar knew, you also know — way down inside. But it’s all covered up and messed up. We’re here to throw out the trash!

Don’t Do Anything
     Let anything that happens to you happen and just sit there and watch it. Don’t interfere with it. Don’t do anything about it. Don’t try to correct it. Don’t try to ease the pain, the tension, the anxiety. Just sit there and take it. Let the outer situation do anything it wants to you until you see that it is not doing it at all but that you are. That’s why you have to remain right where you are until you see that you are doing it, not that man, not that woman, not that society — I am doing it all by myself. I am attributing power out there because I am falsely attributing power to my negative self, which doesn’t exist.

Don’t Get Carried Away
     A small negative incident happens and you allow it to grow and assume great importance. While you are carried away by this incident, it seems you are going somewhere in a definite direction. When the force weakens, you become anxious because you feel in your delusion that you are losing your sense of direction. You then latch on to the next negative force. Such is your day. Be alert to this and go through the strain and pain of not getting carried away.
