If heaven existed as a physical building on earth, human beings would remodel it to make it right.
Vernon Howard
Image
Quit thinking that you must halt before the barrier of inner negativity. You need not. You can crash through... whatever we see a negative state, that is where we can destroy it.
Vernon Howard
Image
No one can tell you what is right for you except yourself. So start telling yourself what to do. If you blunder for ten years while thinking for yourself, that is rich treasure when compared with living these ten years under the mental domination of another.
Vernon Howard
Image
Healing fails to occur because it is much easier to injure another than to heal oneself.
Vernon Howard
Image
Is the beam from a lighthouse affected by howling wind and rain? It remains perfectly steadfast and unaffected by the storm. Your true self is like that. Nothing can ever harm you once you are consciously aware that it is so.
Vernon Howard

Don't try to be spiritual. That is only a word in the dictionary. Make it your goal to become a normally functioning individual. Let these principles shape you according to your real nature of a simple, decent, honest, unafraid human being.

Truth breaks you down so it can rebuild you according to its specifications in Heaven.
Vernon Howard
Image
It is a mistake for anyone to think he has lived too long in his old, unsatisfactory ways to make the great change. If you switch on the light in a dark room, it makes no difference how long it was dark because the light will still shine. Be teachable. That is the whole secret.
Vernon Howard
Image
To change what you get you must change who you are.
Vernon Howard
Image
It is utterly useless to try to change the outer world, for it is but a reflection of inner causes. The true seeker seeks to change himself.
Vernon Howard
Image
The reason why most people are frustrated is because a lie cannot be turned into a truth.
Vernon Howard
Image
See human nonsense as nonsense and save years of trying to make sense out of it.
Vernon Howard
Image
A perfect method for awakening is to examine the results of our daily actions. If they are harmful, we know we need more consciousness.
Vernon Howard
Image
Do not mistake desire for love. Desire leaves home in a frantic search for one gratification after another. Love is at home with itself.
Vernon Howard
Image
Persistence prevails, like a stream that is temporarily blocked by boulders and then collects force enough to overflow onward.
Vernon Howard
Image
It is against the law to permit weak people to steal your strength. Never permit it.
Vernon Howard
Image
The genuinely spiritual person is one who has lost all desire to be anyone but exactly who he is, without labels and without apologies. He is what he is and that's all there's is to it. Such a man is undivided, uncomplicated and contented.
