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.

More quotes by Vernon Howard
Just as surely as distress must follow self-deceit, healing must follow self-honesty.
Vernon Howard
We are slaves to whatever we don't understand.
Vernon Howard
Happiness is not the acquisition of anything it's the understanding of something.
Vernon Howard
We are exactly where we have chosen to be.
Vernon Howard
We never get upset over what happens. Never. We get upset because of preconceived ideas as to what we think should happen, what we want to happen. When our preference clashes with the reality, we get hurt. Rid yourself of all preconceived ideas as to what should happen. You are then at peace whatever happens.
Vernon Howard
Self awakening enables you to see the human scene as it is, not as it appears to be, which frees you of its chaos.
Vernon Howard
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
See human nonsense as nonsense and save years of trying to make sense out of it.
Vernon Howard
Don't look for someone in whom to believe. Believe in yourself. The only authentic authority is your own original nature.
Vernon Howard
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.
Vernon Howard
An obvious fact about negative feelings is often overlooked. They are caused by us, not by exterior happenings. An outside event presents the challenge, but we react to it. So we must attend to the way we take things, not to the things themselves.
Vernon Howard
As incredible as it sounds, an unhappy man does not realize that happiness is better than unhappiness. Knowing only his own concealed anguish, he worships it, which is the same as self-worship.
Vernon Howard
All heartache is caused by wrong viewpoints.
Vernon Howard
Interpretation blocks reception while masquerading as reception. Rightness does not need interpretation it requires simple acceptance and nothing else.
Vernon Howard
Pseudo-mysticism seeks to evade reality authentic mysticism wants to live it.
Vernon Howard
Learn to see things as they really are, not as we imagine they are.
Vernon Howard
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
We find the light only after total defeat of our attempts to deceive and outwit it.
Vernon Howard
When the mind is exhausted in trying to find the answer, the answer dawns.
Vernon Howard
Happiness is liberty from everything that makes us unhappy.
