Pursue Excellence; Ignore Success.

Your Body, Which Is Very Physical, Is Under The Influence Of Your Thoughts, Your Feelings, Your Emotions, Your Dreams, Your Fantasies, Your Desires, Your Instincts, Your Drives, Your Imagination. All These Things Orchestrate Themselves - All These Internal Activities That Are In The Invisible Domain That We Call Consciousness Actually Have Very Precise Physical Effects Both In Our Biology, But They Also Influence Our Perception Of The World.

We Americans Sit At The Head Of The Banquet Table, As We Have Done For A Century. Our Standard Of Living Is Luxurious By Any Measure.

Whatever Mistake You Have Made About Who You Are Is Temporary. Your True Identity Has Remained Untouched. You Have Never Sinned Against It Or Affected It In Any Way Except To Lose Touch With It.

If You Consciously Let Your Body Take Care Of You, It Will Become Your Greatest Ally And Trusted Partner.

One's Attention Has To Penetrate The Chaotic Activity, Pass Through All The Layers Of Subtle Thought, And At Last Emerge Into Silence. This Is The Basic Process Of Transcending.
