CHALLENGE YOUR DEFEAT
     Consider very seriously that the entire human race has made a gigantic blunder, a mistake so gigantic that we can’t see it, a mistake that practically no one on earth wants to face. The mistake is submission to the overwhelming false power of this world. The great gigantic error that human beings make is defeat, submission to, cowering before the assumed authority and power of this world. I’m talking about this world of human beings in which you are in a state of submission, which means you are also in a state of unconscious rebellion, both of which are wrong for you. We’re talking about a mental state, an emotional state in which human beings live, and in which they are afraid to challenge the condition they are in; and you are not challenging your defeat. You’re unconscious when you lash out in anger at anything. Start saying NO!
     After a long, long time of saying ‘no’ to wrong thoughts, “No, I am not living from you anymore,” a most astonishing thing happens. What happens is that the ‘no’ is not being said by you anymore. You practice it and after a while you hear not yourself saying ‘no’, but Truth itself which has taken over your mind, taken over your spirit. Do you understand the beauty of what I am talking about? That something other than you is now living your life for you and something other than you is saying ‘no’ to all wrongness and all punishment. Do you want to find out whether or not this is true? Then follow all the principles you hear here.
     You can’t change anything. What you can do is to consciously say ‘no’. That feeling that life is overwhelming is lying to you. Whenever you feel despair, defeat, you are being lied to.

STOP TRYING TO GET SOMETHING
     Your mistake: Trying to make yourself valuable to other people. From now on, “Instead of trying to get something from other people, I’m going to understand myself.”
