"All wrong-doing arises because of mind. If mind is transformed can wrong-doing remain?"
~ Buddha
Two women were arguing violently in a French Metro Station. A third woman approached and entered into the squabble. One of the first women moved away and took her train. Presently another woman came up and joined in. The second of the first group moved away and took her train leaving the two strange women arguing at blood heat. When last I saw them and the door of the train went closed they were hard at it, shaking their fists in each other's face. The ones who had started it were far on their way. "What is that to thee" is pretty good advice after all! What? If you are minding your own business you have plenty to mind - mind you!
Curiosity is the most unspiritual of all the faults of the human mind.
2. A.M.
This book was written, for the most part, at 2 A.M. - that is the why of the name. Awakened at that hour nearly every night for more than a year, great bursts of Light and Revelation came through and so I jotted them down. I thought you might like to browse through them - so many of them have proved workable.

All problems of whatever nature are made up of thought forms and pictures believed in by man. When a man sets out to write a new arithmetic book, he starts with a full knowledge that the principle of Mathematics has no problems. He must therefore invent and superimpose upon his pupils a series of problems made up for the sole reason of proving to the pupil that the answer existed before he made up the problem. The more conscious the pupil becomes of the principle the easier it is to disintegrate the picture problems confronting him. Not by any manner of means would he be taught or think that by repeating a rule - no matter however true - would it work out a problem. He must become conscious of that principle, enter into it, become the law in action in order to prove his premise that the answer exists before the problem. There is a reason for the faith that is in him, and it is not an emotional, religious or superstitious sort of thing.
"I say no man has ever yet been half devout enough,
None has ever yet adored or worshiped half enough,
None has begun to think how divine he himself is,
and how certain the future is.
I say that the real and permanent grandeur of these
States must be their religion,
Otherwise there is no real and permanent grandeur."
Walt Whitman.
