“The world you are tired of is you”

Vernon Howard:

“Now is the time. Tonight is the night when you will decide that you no longer want to be kicked around by the world. And do you know what you just thought? You just thought of the exterior world, didn’t you? You slipped into it just like that because you don’t think clearly.

Well, of course, you’re weary of being at the mercy of things out there, but you do not realize that the world that you’re tired of is you. Oh, I know how easy it is to lie. You know how easy it is to deceive yourself.

Let’s try it again. The world that wearies you, that wears you out, that confuses you, that gives you more questions than answers, that world is inside of you. Now, if you reject that, you’re just going to have to waste the rest of your life as you’ve wasted it heretofore.”

  4. Nice site, BUT, where is Juddi Krishnamurti on your list of “Teachers of Spiritual Awakening”??? Virtually all the other people on your list were inspired by, or are re-cycling- JK. He’s probably the most profound teacher ever. IMHO. And has led me on a path of powerful change.
