KNOW FROM YOUR HEART
     I’m going to tell you when the good feeling, the true good feeling will come. It will arrive when you send up an authentic prayer, not based on what you want, but when you have arrived at that rarely arrived-at time when you know absolutely, finally, and forever, it really doesn’t make any difference what you want.
     You cannot ask what you call God to restore the Saturday and its lemonade. You can no longer tell God what you want. You can no longer plead for a restoration of the monthly paycheck and your petty pleasures. You will not do it anymore, but you will allow your true prayer to go up, and you will allow and say so in your request. You will allow God to give you whatever he wants to give you.
     That proper prayer must be proceeded by a realization. And again, once and for all, there is no point in you asking for the Saturday lemonade and for the monthly paycheck anymore. And it doesn’t make any sense to ask for them because, not only are they going to disappear in this world of time and change, but everything else that you could ever ask for will come to an end too, because they are time objects.
     It becomes clear to you that you can take your eyes and your ears off this world all together (your physical eyes and your physical ears) and remember that it’s the invisible world that you must make a contact with. And you don’t have to know who God is. You don’t have to try to explain who God is and how he works. That’s not your business. It is your business to know from your heart that you want the revelation to come to you. The revelation clear and loud. The revelation that you don’t have to want any more of what you formerly wanted, but simply get those wants out of the way and when that happens you will be rescued.
     The whole rescue process, by the way, step by step, you’ll know how to get outside of yourself. You’ll feel the refreshing air. Every step, every step will be shown to you because you finally wanted to ask the right prayer and did so.

GUIDING LIGHT
     “I will not worship pain.” Watch yourself very carefully. Watch small and large concerns, worries come up and ask to take permanent residence. When you accept them, worry, jealousy, etc., you are accepting them as god of the moment.
     When you’re an alert conscious spectator of life, life goes on. Instead of being a role-player, be someone whose role is of being conscious life itself. Get off the stage and be a spectator, neutral, not on stage. Then there is no curtain and you. The curtain can come down only on an actor. Key thought: I WILL NOT WORSHIP PAIN.
