Teaching idea #313
When we want future peace or safety, it is turned into a goal. Most of our energy is used chasing illusions to be safe.
Teaching idea #264
We have to make up our mind with intensity that we are through with the old decision that the whole purpose of living is to regain the non-disturbed state.

Teaching ideas 152-156
152. The GREAT LIE: Circumstances determine our inner state.
153. If we determine we're in charge, then the circumstances are insignificant.
154. Suggestion tells us that circumstances determine our inner state.
155. As long as we blame circumstances for our inner state, they are insurmountable.
156. Our #1 job is to make a total commitment to be responsible for our inner state of being. It is the most valuable commitment we can make. Without doing this, everything else is nothing.

This is Vanity and this is Pride.
Vanity is a false picture of self and pride is the defense of this false picture.
1. I AM ALWAYS RIGHT AND IN THE RIGHT. (This is the most unconscious behavior pattern of "ME".)
2. IF ANYTHING IS SAID BY ANYONE THAT CAN BE CONSTRUED AS UNCOMPLIMENTARY ABOUT "ME", OR ANYTHING "I'VE" DONE, THOUGHT, OR AGREED TO, THEN "I" MUST DEFEND MYSELF BECAUSE "I'M" RIGHT AND IN THE RIGHT.
3. THE ONLY WAY TO DEFEND IS TO BLAME, ATTACK, OR RUN.
4. IT IS DANGEROUS TO BE RIGHT BECAUSE "I" HAVE TO HAVE A MEANS OF ATTACKING, BLAMING, OR RUNNING IN ORDER TO DEFEND "MYSELF" FROM SLANDER, I.E BEING PUT DOWN.
5. IT IS DANGEROUS TO BE AROUND THOSE WHO ARE ALWAYS RIGHT AS IN SOME MOMENT I MAY FORGET SOMETHING THAT COULD BE CONSTRUED AS ME SAYING THEY ARE NOT RIGHT, THEN I WILL BE ATTACKED BY WHATEVER MEANS ARE AT THAT PERSONS CAPABILITY AT THAT MOMENT OR THAT MAY ARISE, DAYS, WEEKS, OR MONTHS OR YEARS LATER.
6. I MUST APOLOGIZE FOR ANY VIEWPOINT, IDEA, SUGGESTION, OR DECISION I MAY WISH TO MAKE BEFORE I ANNOUNCE IT.
7. THE WAY OUT IS; I'M TO BLAME FOR EVERYTHING-ALL THE SINS OF THE WORLD ALL THE TIME.

Headlines excepts from pages 12-13
Man is the only unspecialized being on earth, so he must consciously choose a role and play it or he will be forced into a specialized role by another and be exploited.
A wonderful thing about choosing a role is that one can write the script, play the role and direct the performance. There are few accept this great gift, so there are few people who are described as truly great.
One cannot be cast into a role by another unless one is unconscious of, and thereby manipulated by, the four dual basic urges.
One can take on many roles and perform each at different moments.
A Master is one who, being aware of the four dual basic urges and the opposing methods of attempts to have them, consciously chooses the role of a master.
The Master sees the situation of the "now" so completely that the role is written, played and directed spontaneously.

Teaching idea #92
We drop the opposites, such as right and wrong, good and bad. We have a new and conscious frame of reference, a new purpose. This leads to order, health, integration. We go from death to life. We evolve. This is real living. One free of the four dual basic urges is a unique expression of life.
Teaching idea #73
Higher consciousness is to be able, regardless of circumstances, to take charge of our inner state; to feel the way we would like to feel; to behave in a manner to which we feel is to our advantage. The transformed being is totally in charge of his inner state. He is aware of what he is, what is going on and what he can do. He is free to experience whatever may arise. He lives without any conflict. He has challenges, but not problems.
