Spiritual Gems
White Orchids
  Below are examples of some very helpful and enlightening truths. These were typed by Vernon Howard on his manual typewriter and copied and distributed in his personal classes. Consider yourself fortunate to be able to have the opportunity to benefit from these very powerful, extraordinary and advanced spiritual lessons.

Start All Over
  “There are certain prayers that receive an instant answer of ‘yes.’ Here is one of them: ‘As usual, I have been hasty and foolish. May I please start all over again?’”

End Struggle
  “The struggle comes to an end when there is no for and against.”

Niceness
  “The only niceness we have is an idea. The only way to be nice is to be real.”

No Compromise
  “There can be no compromise with the truth. It must be given priority high above our petty little lives with our criticisms, resentments, revenge and all other small feelings.”

Mature Mind
  “A mature mind sees long-distance cause and effect. An immature mind sees only instant ego-gratification regardless of the consequence.”

Inner Liberation
  “Inner liberation can be described as a condition in which you no longer take either credit or blame for anything.”

Aim to Understand
  “Aim to understand the dragon, not defeat him; to understand the dragon is his defeat.”

Self-Rescue
  “Everything I need to know for self-rescue can be known. Anything I can’t know, it is not necessary for me to know. Self-rescue is all that matters and all knowledge for attaining it is open to my receptivity.”

True Caring
  “There is true caring for others when you are consciously intolerant of the behavior by which they are wrecking themselves.”

The Birth of Eternity
  “The death of mechanical thought is the death of me; therefore, the death of misery and the birth of eternity. Thoughts do not enter heaven.”

Negative Forces
  “Understand that you don’t have to obey your negative forces. You obey them now because you are them.”

Spiritual Work
  “False spiritual work keeps you comfortable. Real spiritual work makes you uneasy.”

What’s Real
“Spiritual knowledge followed by self-surrender develops what is real within.”

Loneliness
  “Loneliness is caused by trying to find a sense of completion where it can’t be found.”

Just Handle Things
  “I will tell you, you can make a change in your life you won’t believe. You cannot imagine how it will be different. You don’t ever get mad anymore. YOU can't get angry at all, you just handle things, but you don’t get angry because there is not an opposite to you anymore.”

Advertising
  “Watch any kind of advertising and see how it suddenly appeals to vanity, to egotism. Watch it as part of your self-study so that you do not unconsciously fall a victim to it. Because the victim is the sufferer.”

Explanation
  “The self-rejectors call themselves modest, but they are dangerously conceited. The self-acceptors call themselves confident, but they are foolishly weak. Only the absence of self-thought is truly modest and confident. However, the absence of self-thought comes only after the individual has unmasked hundreds of self-thoughts masquerading as the absence of self-thoughts.”

Unnecessary Pain
  “I am not going to live under this pain, anxiety, pretense that is driving me mad anymore. Because a very small part of me says that it is completely unnecessary. That part is telling you the truth. That you don’t have to live the way you have all your life. How do you find it living with yourself? You’ll find that to wake up, to snap out of this spell, this hoax, takes a great amount of energy.”

Look How Economical Your Life Becomes
  “You are unconsciously bashful, you give yourself a shock. You see you are bashful. You keep working and seeing both sides at once. Bashfulness will disappear because you are no longer thinking about anything at all. When you don’t think about whether you are happy or not, you are. You are still on the horizontal level of thought but through these shocks you see the whole thing and rise above it. You don’t have to think anymore. Look how economical your life becomes. You think only when it’s necessary, like how to bake bread.
