A COSMIC GUARANTEE
     Don’t forget why you are here on earth: To alternate between practical thought and knowing what you are doing.
     When hostile, bad thoughts come to you, remember the words: Imposition from the evil world. Understand yourself and don’t be ashamed. That is, those thoughts are not you. They have been imposed on your mind.
     Make an effort to be a people-watcher. You are going to look, starting with the fact that that man, woman is lost. They can’t stop talking, are conceited, etc. They want to stay self-enclosed by thinking about themselves. Now that you see how bad they are, put the mirror up. You love the person you hate living with. Study yourself at the same time. You are a lost soul.
     God rules over all evil including the evil in yourself. Leave it to God. You either learn to love God in this life or you don’t learn it at all.
     Do right regardless of consequences and the consequences will always be right. Evil doesn’t want anyone to escape. When you make your effort to escape, it will descend on you and lie and tell you it’s too late.
     Secret message from heaven: “I don’t belong here, I belong somewhere else.” Tell yourself that every day and that will be the start of regeneration.
     “I don’t belong here” must be so much a part of your life, your day, that it lives your life for you. Something else is entering you, is taking over. Your work is to make strong the honest voice that says, “I don’t know what I’m doing,” not the one that says, “I know what I’m doing.” Say, “I don’t know, but I am not going to be afraid that I don’t know.”
     Because of the rebellion of the human mind starting thousands of years ago, the human mind wanted to be a god unto itself.
     Only a tired man can be saved. If you’re weary enough, you will be willing enough. If you’re willing enough, God is right there.
     You cannot solve your problems by thinking about yourself. A guarantee from Vernon Howard: If you decide to go along with that world out there, I guarantee it will destroy you. If you decide to go along with the teaching at New Life, I guarantee it will save you.

LET GOD FIND YOU
     Catch yourself calling yourself good or bad or something. This is catching the thief in the night in which you praise or condemn yourself.
     “I can actually study myself and what’s going on inside of me that’s been wrecking me. I am not that person I called myself.” You have to give your full attention not to finding God but to allow God to find you. As you say, “I am not that,” you will know you are a child of God and you will know who you are.
     The path starts by seeing evil. Facts are always healing even if you don’t think they are. You’re going to have to descend into the depths of hell, which you call heaven. There is no entity there to be good or bad. If you get rid of the opposites of good or bad, you will no longer exist.
