42 " The truth that frees us into health and happiness might be likened to a beautiful woman with a dozen ardent suitors. She asks, "Do you love me above all else, or are you merely seeking a new thrill?" Or, "Will you be faithful to me in spite of temptations?" Or, "Do you want me for myself, or merely to prove how persuasive you are?" The man who gives the right answers will hear the truth respond. She never fails the man who pursues her with ardent sincerity and affection. When he places her before all else, she willingly comes to him. "

46 " From time to time you will hear someone starting an accusation with the phrase, "But YOU told me...." When hearing this, know that you are hearing someone who demands that you think for him, but who is eager to blame you when things go wrong.

48 " Know that distress and disappointment are states of stupidity and nothing else. Do not trust them. They have no intelligence whatsoever in them; they can only lead you astray. You are very foolish in being lured after their frantic shrieks. They shout that they are right, but they are always wrong and wrong for you personally. Do not follow deceitful lures of distress and disappointment. "
49 " Your wrongness is your present idea of happiness. Try to see how it is wrecking your life. You have one real chance. That once chance is to find yourself wrong. Never forget the first sentence of this paragraph, which is, your wrongness is your present idea of happiness. Replace that idea. "
50 " Weakness invites contempt from weak people. "
51 " Whenever we resist something—perhaps an unkind remark, a shocking event, or a depressing feeling—our very resistance indicates a belief in the power of that event to hurt us. Although it is really powerless, our mistaken belief in it induces despair.But by not resisting, we dissolve the false belief and consequently the false power for harm. "
52 " Now, thought is both good and necessary for the mechanicalprocesses of life, like building a house or cooking dinner. Butbecause your spiritual self is not mechanical, it must be elevatedby an entirely different power. That power is awareness. "
53 " Don't make a direct effort to understand things. Rather, concentrate on your present misunderstanding. Try to see through your own false viewpoints. "
54 " When understanding another person's problem you help him correctly, even though there is nothing you can do about it. "
