WILLINGNESS
     Every spiritual step must be accompanied by the willingness and the appearance of feeling foolish. There is no escape from the prison of your old acquired self without a deliberate, consistent willingness to appear foolish before yourself and other people. The willingness to appear foolish causes great, beautiful destruction. The only question that is left is this, “How fast can I go? How ingenious can I be in inventing ways to be foolish before you and myself?” You know that the reason we want to appear wise before others is because we want the picture of ourselves presented to them. We are doing the exact opposite of everything we used to do.

DON’T BE DRAGGED INTO IT
    When someone speaks to you about something, you don’t have to be dragged into it. Just leave it alone. Practice being in this life and not permitting your weakness to let another drag you off.
     You can develop yourself to the point where you can hear every bit of bad news that has ever existed since the founding of civilization on earth, all the bad news that is presently on earth, and all the prophesied bad news, and be unaffected by it.
