Men and women fear that if they change the ways they think and
act and react that that act will put perils in their path. That
very false idea is a chain around their lives. Go over it again,
apply it to yourself so that you see that I am talking about you.
People think that any alteration, modification, of their daily
routines, they think that anything that will change it, left,
right, up, or down, they think that that will pose a hazard to
them. They think that they will be hurt. They think that things
will start to go bad, which means they're living in incredible
delusion that the way they are now living is sane, sensible,
logical, healthy and good.
The fact that a man or woman does not change his mode of life,
that fact is his danger, that's his peril."
