Nobody can say anything about you. Whatsoever people say is about themselves. But you become very shaky, because you are still clinging to a false center. That false center depends on others, so you are always looking to what people are saying about you. And you are always following other people, you are always trying to satisfy them. You are always trying to be respectable, you are always trying to decorate your ego. This is suicidal. Rather than being disturbed by what others say, you should start looking inside yourself…

Whenever you are self-conscious you are simply showing that you are not conscious of the self at all. You don’t know who you are. If you had known, then there would have been no problem— then you are not seeking opinions. Then you are not worried what others say about you— it is irrelevant!

When you are self-conscious you are in trouble. When you are self-conscious you are really showing symptoms that you don’t know who you are. Your very self-consciousness indicates that you have not come home yet.

The Rules for being Human

01. You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it’s the only thing you are sure to keep for the rest of this life.

02. You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called “Life On Planet Earth”. Every person or incident is the Universal Teacher.

03. There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of experimentation. “Failures” are as much a part of the process as “successes”.

04. A lesson is repeated until learned. It is presented to you in various forms until you learn then you can go on to the next lesson.

05. If you don’t learn easy lessons, they get harder. External problems are a precise reflection of your internal state. When you learn inner obstructions, your outside world changes. Pain is how the universe gets your attention.

06. You will know you’ve learned a lesson when your actions change. Wisdom is practice. A little of something is better
than a lot of nothing.

07. “There” is no better than “here.” When your “there” becomes a “here” you will simply obtain another “there” that again looks better than “here.”

08. Others are only a mirror of you. You cannot love or hate something about another unless it reflects something you love or hate
about yourself.

09. Your life is up to you. Life provides the canvas; you do the painting. Take charge of your life-or someone else will.

010. You always get what you want. Your subconscious rightfully determines what energies, experiences and people you attract therefore, the only foolproof way to know what you want, is to see what you have. There are no victims, only students.

011. There is no right or wrong, but there are consequences. Moralizing doesn’t help. Judgments only hold the patterns in place. Just do your best.

012. Your answers lie inside you. Children need guidance from others; as we mature; we trust our hearts, where the Laws of Spirit are written. You know more than you have heard read or been told. All you need to do is to look, listen and trust.

013. You will forget all this.

014. You can remember any time you wish.
