YOU DON’T NEED HOSTILITY
     Get this down and think about it. Hostility serves no natural need. That means I don’t have to have it. I thought I did. Yes, you did! The next time the temptation to be hostile comes up, remember this: self-will is tormenting. Hostility is self-will. It is not good to be gloomy, depressed. They injure you. You let in the enemy. No more! There is no necessity at all for you to be sick and miserable over anything. I said anything! It is never necessary, it serves no natural need for you to argue and fight about anything. You don’t have to do it and you must stop doing it.
     The rules on the heavenly ‘steamship-line’ are absolute. You must abandon your self-will because you see where it hasn’t got you. Two choices: continue getting mad when you don’t get your own way, continue with your sourness, demanding your ticket be honored. It is not going to be honored on the heavenly steamship. Saying “I’m right and you’re wrong,” it all must collapse. The internal collapse must come. You must not have another word of argument, of hostility, of aggression, of violence. You don’t need them. You think you do. From this moment on you will work; you will realize it is never necessary to be an enemy of yourself with all these horrible attitudes and words that go on inside — because Truth, God has won the  battle for you. You don’t have to fight. All you have to do is admit you can’t win of yourself and when you do that then God’s victory is yours.

ABANDON THOUGHT
    No more trying to figure it out on the level of the intellect. You must put more attention on the fact that you are thinking your life away. The very abandonment of thought is the whole thing.
