Sooner or later, all of us must see that negative feelings
toward another person is like tossing dust at him while the
wind blows against us. It all comes back. This is not merely
a moralistic teaching or Sunday school lesson; it is a basic
and inescapable Law of Life.
–Vernon Howard, Psycho-Pictography, p. 168
I’ve been meaning to read some Vernon Howard… which book of his do you recommend? Have you been to the center in Arizona?
Vernon Howard has a really ass-kicking, mad professor style. He can be quite offensive to those who don’t know what he’s doing :) I find his work to be full of wild humor and compassion.
I was in Strawberry, AZ a few years ago – a little community of longtime students lives there, as far as I understand. At that time, I only met his student who was running the bookshop, she was really lovely. I definitely plan to go back to try to talk to some of the other students who knew him well!
I recommend Pathways to Perfect Living. Also here you can see a short video and listen to talks.
