SELF-HONESTY
    Say, “I don’t know how to straighten myself out. I don’t know how to be happy. I’m just lost altogether; I don’t know how to uplift my nature.” See that another part of you doesn’t mean it at all. It is essential not to try to be sincere, but to see that you have no sincerity at all in saying that. Use this exercise over the years so you can see there is a lying part underneath, because in the next five minutes you go out and do something to make yourself happy. Then you will see you have been lying to yourself all your life about wanting to change. One day you will say it with the center inside and you’ll realize that there is no way you know how to rescue yourself. Then God will enter and teach you. Give up. When your will is no longer your will, then God’s will becomes yours.
