A Syrian story in progress

[integration journey]

By Vernon Howard:

STOP TALKING TO YOURSELF
     You are actually born with dim instructions about what you’re supposed to do with your life here on earth and along with those instructions, you were given self-responsibility to obey what you should obey. You can have a permanent destination. You’ve had it with the intellect trying to solve the problem.
     This is you talking: “Oh, I know how to push away the scares I have.” That’s talking to yourself instead of talking to God. You must catch yourself in the nefarious act of talking to yourself and stop it now. Don’t be afraid to stop talking to yourself. You’re doing it all the time. If you were to learn the secret of stopping yourself in the middle of giving yourself advice, something different could happen to you.

By Vernon Howard:

HOW TO BE HAPPY
      All loss is simply marvelous! You have nothing to do in your spiritual life but to lose. Forget trying to get anything! Concentrate all together intensely on losing something. This is what it is all about.
     In the first place you don’t know what to get. You do not know what to get. It is not in your knowledge. The man out in the desert does not know what it means to find gold in the mountains. What is the point of thinking about gold when he isn’t in the right place to think about gold? What he has to do is lose his desert location. Therefore, put it down well that your objective every day, every minute is to start losing. Losing what? Everything. Now that is not too much to take. Come on, start taking it.
     The answer is that the mind must surrender to the spirit. Your mind must give up to the spirit. Now, you don’t know what the spirit is, so say, “I am going to start where I am in surrendering my mind to the spirit.”
     So you have to exercise all day long in practicing self-loss. See how long you can go during the day in simply practical thought and spiritual self-watching. Now, that means you must not fall asleep. Both of those are good which leads to self-loss. If you fall asleep, you go into self-thought, self-wailing.
     The way you wake up as fast as you can — don’t love the mental movies, or the self-pity. Simply understand that the loss you suffer of them is gain for who you really are. What we’re talking about in keeping this exercise going for as long as you can is studying and putting first the invisible world, not the visible world.
     The whole world is both a visible and an invisible world. Even you don’t see the invisible world inside of you. It is the invisible that produced the visible. No nation ever went to war without discussion around a table first. It is the cause of the visible world.
     Since that is true, are you going to ever try to change the visible world again? Therefore, pay attention to the cause. Stay in this invisible world every day as long as you can. Then you won’t try to change anything or anyone. Instead, you will want to work from the invisible world and lose.
     The invisible world also includes a false world that wants to torment you. [Say] “Ah, I want to get rid of misery.”
     How to be happy: lose so much that you at last understand that loss must be your primary power, aim and virtue in life. Then you will know what you’re doing because you will know that the doing of that is correct and will lead to high places
