“Stop trying to find yourself in the world of your mind”

“Human beings are caged inside their own anxious thoughts. And because anxiety is not understood, the individual with the tension
and nervousness becomes bad, and does and says and feels bad things.

But you can’t get away with being bad. Underline that, please – you can’t get away with being bad. Your nerves won’t forgive your
wrongness.

I am telling you now, therefore; to stop trying to find yourself in the world of your mind.  Give up trying to find yourself inside your
intellect; you’re not there. When you give up, God gives down. You remember that, and you remind yourself where you have to give up, what you have to give up. And if you can think about it, that’s what you have to give up.”

Vernon Howard, from a talk given 11/27/1987, Vernon Howard’s Higher World
