How to End Suffering on Vanity

The commentary series below is focused on a particular negative emotion, painful feeling, negative trait or state of human beings that causes us tremendous pain and suffering. Perhaps you will recognize that you yourself have had personal experience with this condition. You’ll find the explanation of how it causes suffering and how it produces detrimental effects in your daily life. You will also be shown how Truth can help you to lessen these effects and how you can eventually eliminate them from your life altogether. A new negative characteristic of human nature will be gone into each month. It will be great fun to explore these things in order to help us see through them and to be rid of them.

VANITY by Kyle Rickert

I recently had an experience where I was given an unexpected free upgrade to fly First Class. This has never happened before. I instantly celebrated, WINNING! My mind thought that I just had a victory, and I said to myself, “All of my hard work in life is finally paying off and I got this reward.”
Interestingly enough, I was in the middle of writing this article about Vanity when this happened. The definition of vanity is “the excessive pride in or admiration of one’s own appearance or achievements.” New Life classes have taught me that from one minute to the next, that victory thought can become a defeat thought. And then you find yourself back on the roller-coaster of life. After passing through airport security, I looked up and saw a sign that said, “Picture yourself winning. Persistence. Pass It On. The Foundation for a Better Life.” This is a great example of the “positive encouragement” that the world offers. "YOU can do it!” Well, there is something that can help you do it, but YOU are not doing it. Being receptive to the supreme universal energy that’s available and trying to reach you is your ultimate tool.
“Vanity means that you think you can do it all by yourself.… See how you think you have a reputation to uphold. See how you’re your own worst enemy. See how you can’t do it by yourself. Vanity is preventing you from letting something higher come in and see that you don’t have to do it on your own.” (Vernon Howard)

Points to Ponder (Newest one March 1, 2025)

Praises for Vernon Howard

  • “Many thanks! These teachings are the clearest and most vivid exposition available of the Ageless Wisdom contained in the New Testament and so many other so-called ‘sacred’ books. That is why I have worked with Vernon’s message via books and talks personally for many years now — and also present them to those I counsel in the nondenominational ministry which comprises my work. It’s time that we all evolve out of ‘religiosity’ into what is authentic. All the material is so very helpful.”

    Dr. R. D., Ph.D., DD

  • “I work as a waitress at a restaurant. Ordinarily, when things get a little crazy (slow kitchen, out of items, impatient guests, mixed up orders, too many tables, etc.) I have a very intense panic, anxiety, ‘I’m going to quit’ type of reaction. This evening, I did not have this reaction. I ‘flowed’ right through it. I made 80% more (and this is the truth) in tips than my average Saturday evening. And this was an evening that was apparently especially chaotic according to my work mates. Although a part of me noticed and was aware of this chaos, I gave it no attention. I am quite certain that there will be tremendous positive changes in other areas of my life and the lives of those that I may have an effect on. I am truly amazed and grateful!!!”

    J. W., New York

  • “I embarked on a serious study of these principles more than 3 years ago, but first began reading Vernon Howard’s books about 10 years ago. At first, I didn’t even know what the teachings were about though I was attracted to them. Now my life is much simpler. There is more clarity, less problems, more efficiency, more time to accomplish things, less involvement in useless activities, far less association with lost people, more ability to organize, less debt, more peace, more ability to understand cause and effect, more spiritual perception, more relaxation, improved health, cleanliness, far less interest in watching TV or movies, improved intelligence, more compassion and understanding, etc. Now I take as much time as possible throughout the day for contemplation and practical awareness.”

    Man in Virginia

  • “In 2005 I got divorced, my children got so angry with me they haven’t spoken to me since and I made a very disastrous financial mistake. I now live in a small apartment instead of the beautiful home I once had. Am I complaining? NO WAY! I can say with all truthfulness that I am happier than I have ever been. I live alone but am not lonely. I almost never experience boredom even though I spend many hours alone. I have faced some very painful truths about myself but thanks to Vernon Howard I began to see them as ways to real freedom. Guilt was a constant companion for most of my life and letting go of it is a gift beyond price. With great love.”

    Bonnie H.

  • “I have a Ph.D. in clinical psychology and Bible Studies and 30 hours of graduate work in theology. I practiced for 21 years before moving into energy medicine. I have read everything Vernon Howard has written more than once. I recently started to watch his DVDs. Just one DVD, Volume 7, contains more Truth, healthy psychology and spiritual upliftment than all the teachings of my 11 years of school. Psychology teaches a person how to find comfort in the prison they find themselves in. Truth and the teachings of Vernon Howard teach a person how to free themselves from the prison they have unknowingly created. I am excited to watch the rest of his DVDs. We are greatly blessed from his sharing.”

    Doctor of Psychology via e-mail

  • “Thank you so much. I appreciate it. And, from the little (but powerful) I’ve read on the site, I tend to agree with you about Vernon Howard’s articulation of the inarticulable and his intuitive ability to inspire and transform the consciousness in others. I am a former psychotherapist, former business owner and now full-time student in interfaith Ministry who has spent over 30 years in passionate pursuit of the spiritual, the mysterious and that which has the capacity to diminish suffering and uplift/transform we human beings. I really appreciate Vernon’s words and the profound energy behind (in front of) them. I anticipate much richness in the material you are sending me.”

    Warmly,
    Sheila G.

  • “The books and tapes you have sent me have been of tremendous value to me. After a lifetime of church going and doing and living the way I thought was right, I found myself still searching for something. I have tried to share this material with a few select people with mixed review. Most think they already have the answer which further proves that the individuals themselves have to get to the point of self-questioning that brings on the right frame of mind for this information to help them. Thank you very much and I hope to be able to visit you some day to attend some classes.”

    William S., Paris, TN

  • "I’m sending my heartfelt gratitude for your eternal work. Mr. Howard’s teachings are a shining light which spread warmth for the well-being and regeneration of all. They leave no question unanswered and are therefore harmonious … how wonderful this is! Through all of his work — this newsletter and all the printed books and booklets, the videos and talks and the beautiful website — he speaks to anyone in confusion or hindered by blocked views. His concentrated work gives me a clear sense of safety — that I can have simplicity at any instant, practical sense in any situation, realize God is always with us. To me, this is most absolute Grace. It is all very strengthening, like fresh breezes touching the soul and more true learning for Life. Salutations and kind regards from Switzerland."

    E-mail from Lady in Switzerland

  • “Hi, my name is Brian. I just thought I’d drop you a line because I have been a ‘fan’ of Mr. Howard for 20 years, and I’m delighted to see that others are carrying on his wonderful work. It was in 1983 that I got The Mystic Path to Cosmic Power and despite the dozens of spiritual self-help-type books I’ve read since, I still think it is best of all! I will henceforth be a regular visitor to your site and hope to order some publications from you in the not-too- distant future. Due to the exchange rate, everything from the U.S. costs us in South Africa about six to seven times as much. Keep up the great work!”

    Brian S., South Africa

  • "This has been a period of 6 months of travel and moving for me — from Colorado to South Carolina and Maine (several times each) and now to Washington state. All along the way my library of Vernon Howard books has been a constant companion, and daily messages a necessary vitamin. Thank you for continuing to provide the daily message and the wonderful website with lessons and exercises. Your commitment to keeping the tools for another’s growth — for my growth — is appreciated."

    Sincerely,
    Constance W. via e-mail

  • “Fresh insight into life’s so-called problems can be gained very rapidly utilizing Vernon Howard’s books and tapes. I recommend them to many of my patients and all of my friends.”

    Dr. Stephen Antinoro, DC

  • “I so appreciate your many hours of effort for the work. I love the website and updates. I contribute my great joy for this life and beyond to the Truth that Vernon so aptly put forth for us in his many delightful books and recordings. What would I do without them? Thank you for continuing to spread the word.”

    E-mail from lady

  • “There are instances where a single sentence is enough to set me thinking for an entire day. Thoughts just seem to avalanche from a single idea.”

    Sam J., Phoenix, AZ

  • “I received more spiritual sanity from the books of Vernon Howard than all of the thousands of dollars that I spent on ‘new age’ books, tapes, trainings and motivational speakers.”

    Sandra E., Sylmar, CA

  • “I am very grateful to have come across Vernon Howard’s teachings! It’s such a relief. Truly the world doesn’t need James Bond, it needs Vernon Howard!”

    Man in Australia

  • “Thank you for being there for other people and publishing affordable self-help materials. I have never seen anyone speak the truth in such a clear manner. He is a life saver!"
