Vernon Howard - 1500 Ways to Escape the Human Jungle

[Cireeric]

Recently I found Vernon Howard and started reading his book: 1500 Ways to Escape the Human Jungle. Its a collection of short quotes, but some of them are really deep and insightful. Wanted to share some of my favorites so far:

15. Humanity rejects truth, like a hungry man who refuses bread because his dizzy mind thinks it is wood.

19. When someone lacks the intelligence to try to understand he covers it up by criticizing.

30. Imaginary life has great power to control and wreck people because it insists it is not imaginary life.

36. Society will always deceive you when you ask it, "What is life all about?"

43. Immature man is like a frightened child, alone in a darkening room, not seeing the nearby light switch.

54. A man's failure to question the ideas by which he lives keeps his life as it is.

Vernon Howard was a good spiritual teacher.
