SECRETS OF LIFE
10-8-23
***************************************************************************
"How many of you have a troubled mind? How many would like release and
relief once and for all? Well, information is ammunition. The information
you will hear tonight will be something you can take out of here, carry
with you and pull out of your spiritual basket for use any time that your
mind begins to take you over and do what it wants to do with you.
Therefore, you must be very conscious at the very start of your mind being
kidnapped and assaulted at any time, day or night. So already, you have a
responsibility for your own deliverance. You have to know the moment the
enemy appears out of the void, out of the darkness. You have to know what
it is up to because you're not acquainted with the ways of bad thoughts, of
horrible ideas. Because you're not acquainted with the whole process of
your own mental torment, you remain a victim to it.
So we're going to look very carefully at you and your particular condition
of being wishy-washy, weak upstairs in your mind. You have so abandoned
your responsibility for spiritual work that what can you expect except what
you get? And what you get is a recurring state in which nothing changes but
the label you put on your pain: worried, pressurized, helpless, isolated.
So now you have a bit of information about the difficulty itself. Your
personal difficulty calls for your personal work.
Now, you work real hard during this talk. Realize that you're going to have
to do something different with your life than you've ever done before.
That's the only way you're going to come out of the darkness of your own
mind and live in a nice cheerful place."
