GET OUTTA YA MIND

"With the exception of very few human beings, the world and every individual in it, this country, that country, everyone in it is in love with something. What they are in love with is - now I'm going to use different words and they all mean the same thing. What the vast majority of human beings are in love with is: Their present nature as it operates. Their present nature as it expresses itself. They are in love with delusion. They are in love with familiarity. They are in love with darkness.

And listen to this one. Everyone you know is in love with non-life. Non-life is life that has no authentic future. Non-life is the time-self, the invented identity. Non-life is you as you presently think about yourself including the fact that you are spiritually sick.

If you say you are spiritually sick you will then - if you say with your intellect you are spiritually sick, you will then go out and try to get medicine for your spiritual sickness and what you will get is word-medicine, idea-medicine, identity-medicine, imaginary-medicine. So now you can retain your old time nature non-life and yet call it eternal life. But if you have the courage, the real daring to never, never again call yourself anything including a sick human being who needs the grace of God. The world is mad. It's insane by calling itself things! Slow down your mind. Don't call yourself sick. Don't call yourself well. Don't let the operation give you a description. Don't let the mental operation give you an identity, a nature." vernon howard
