    SECRETS OF LIFE  2-12-24

  
  
  "How many of you feel very often that you are simply a mistake-making
  machine? On the other hand, how many of you have led such a saintly life,
  have led such an innocent life that you could sell your pet parrot to the
  town gossip?! (Laughter)
  
  In either case, we have lots of work to do, so let's get down to business.
  
  The first order of business is for you to stop attributing power, force and
  influence over you to forces, to experiences which have no power or
  authority over you at all. They seem to have and they can sure rough you up
  - that lost employment or that frustrated long-term plan you had for being
  happy.
  
  Life throws so many things at you, and you feel that you're a victim. Let
  me tell you right now you are not a victim of anything and you never have
  been, except in your own mind because you wanted to be a victim, because it
  gave you a sense of identity. It gave you something to do with yourself and
  it gave you a sense of purpose, all of which are false."
