"Consider the words 'seriously' and 'lightly'. In higher thinking, these
are not opposites, but the natural and productive way of meeting
everything. It means to meet every event of life with a deep thoughtfulness
which does not include negativity. A man might think seriously toward a
loss of some kind, but by resenting the loss he robs himself of also
thinking lightly, which could have produced peaceful understanding. To
think seriously-lightly means to meet everything with a new mind, a mind
without hardened judgments formed by past experiences. Experiment with
this. Today, take everything seriously-lightly."
