You are inventive. You can make original designs. If you become
very spiritually minded your externalization of your ideals will be wonderful.
These words are sent for your daily food: "Thou shalt be in league with
the stones of the field; and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with
thee." Emma

As a very young man, eighteen or twenty, I just sensed that
there was something wrong with two things. First with me, and second with
society as a whole. You know kids can be very perceptive. Young people can look
around and they see how older people lie — how they say one thing and do
another and you get the sense, there’s a connection between their inner
division and their unhappiness and their compulsive behavior.
And you get to see, well, now wait a minute. Maybe — the thought came to me to
answer your question — maybe if I straighten out myself, I won’t have to go
through what my father went through, what my mother went through, what all my
friends went through. Maybe the Kingdom is indeed within, and we can find it
and live from something fresh instead of from what society tells us. Vernon

"In my own mind,
behind all my insane thoughts of separation and attack,
is the knowledge that all is one forever.
I have not lost the knowledge of Who I am because I have forgotten it."
ACIM Lesson 56.5.2-3
The stillness of today will give us hope that we have found the
way, and traveled far along it to a wholly certain goal. Today we will not
doubt the end which God Himself has promised us. We trust in Him, and in our
Self, Who still is One with Him.
Interviewer: 'How long have you have you been into what we’ll call
cosmic power or mind power, positive thinking at effective levels of mind, that
kind of thing?'
Vernon:
‘For a long time, many, many years starting off
with, like most people do, with wondering what life is all about, and looking
around in many different places. And finally finding out that you have
to find it inside yourself because you first have to find the problem inside
yourself. Once
the junk is tossed out, that makes room for someone gold.'
"Unshaken does the Holy Spirit look on what you see;
on sin and pain and death,
on grief and separation and on loss.
Yet does He know on thing must still be true;
God is still Love, and this is not His Will."
ACIM Lesson 99.5.4-5
The higher mathematics are very simple to you. Therefore, study
them. Get familiar with the highest truths of the profoundest mystics. Believe this:
“All power is given unto me.” Emma

"Whereas the intellect has value in navigating the physical
world, it is the wrong tool for discerning the Unseen. One must surrender the
delusion that one's mind will provide deliverance. The mind is like quicksand.
The harder you struggle to come out of it, the deeper you sink." - Wu Hsin
"Realize that happiness can never be found in the
mere rearrangement of exterior conditions." Vernon Linwood Howard
"Against our
united strength the ego cannot prevail."
ACIM Ch.4.III.2
