Little Advanced Secret

     If you will see the horror of human nature, that’s what qualifies you to go higher than it. There is something higher than horror. But you have to see the horror first. You think you are nice … “Oh, I have my faults, but I have my good points, too. He has his good parts, too.” No. You’re all bad … because you think you are good.

      Nobody knows how bad it is. You have to see how bad it is before you can see how good it is. Until you know that everyone is insane, you can’t find sanity. You have never had anything but a mad mind, a mad spirit, tricky motives, lies and hell.

      Exercise: Know the next time you think something bad. Know the next person you hurt. If you don’t do that, you won’t be shocked and stunned at how bad you really are, and then you won’t be able to rise above that to something good. If you refuse to go through the shock, the stunning shock of knowing that everybody is insane, you won’t be able to go higher than that to sanity. This is a rule!

     Don’t take the world’s future as your future. Can’t you see where they are going? Never again will you accept the troubles of any other human being as your troubles. You do not have to share the destiny of a vicious world if you don’t want to. Say no to the world. See that you are simply weak, lonely.
