END TORMENTING THOUGHTS
Work on this: As you go through your day and try to do your work, your mind is going to constantly bring up things to torment you with. Get to know how it operates. Be alert! Experiment: say NO! You must get firm and let those thoughts know they don’t belong here! Send them out to wherever they want to go. Stop being an unconscious human being. Stay wide awake. Come back again into the present moment. Tormenting thoughts know they will lose you if you just don’t think about what they want you to think about.
PONDER THESE POWERFUL TRUTHS
If you don’t know what to do about a problem, don’t do anything at all.
Stop criticizing and turn the arrow back on yourself. What you dislike so much in that other person is still unconscious in yourself.
You are deliberately going to be stunned by the idea that you are not alone.
To wake up is the same as putting yourself in the hands of God. Fight to stay awake.
You don’t have to do it by yourself! You don’t have to do it by yourself!
An external event does not cause a personal crisis. Rather, it reveals the crisis already within. Man is a slumbering crisis, like a ticking time bomb.
No matter how much you have failed in the past, direct your energies towards something higher.
Any time you are ready, just sit quietly at home and say “All is darkness.” You have to see that you can’t save yourself.
