- God
Develop the feeling that you only have God to protect you.
Everything that happens and everyone that looks after you and everything that you have is God only, and is God's Will.
God comes in these forms to give us guidance and comfort.
- Vanity
St. Francis of Assisi visited a town in which a very rich man lived.
This man wanted St. Francis' blessing, and knowing that the Saint was a humble man he threw off his costly robes and donned poor garments so that he should appear poor and humble.
He stood in front of St. Francis and asked for His blessing.
St. Francis looked at him and then said: "Your vanity shows through the holes in your robe".
Humility comes from the heart, not be creating an outward facade.
Particles are always attracted to a magnet but the attraction is stronger when the particles are clean.
- Trick
A blind suitor to a beautiful girl wanted to prove he could see well and so stuck a needle on a tree and pretended he could see it. He went to the tree, got back the needle.
But in his excitement and hurry, while returning, tripped over a cow - thus revealing to the girl that his eye sight was defective and that the needle business was a pre-arranged trick.
- Dreams
I have "dreamed" dreams. I have had them materialise.
Unlike other people I was simultaneously aware of the dreamer and the materialised dream - instead of getting lost in it.
I have come out of the dream and I could see,thie other side, too - again seeing simultaneously the dreamer, the dream come true, and the effect. It is like a tunnel - you pass through it, come out of the other side - it is hopeless!
But when the next one looks wonderful, it attracs you, because you do not objectively see the whole of the previous experience.
- Swearing with Blood
It is an ancient custom for warriors to write their oath of allegiance to the King with their blood.
Now they kill an ox and smear the King's tomb with its blood!
