Man has been given the gift of reason but has lost the power to use it. Instead he acts in his own best interest, whether it be reasonable or not- and calls it reason.

What to do Next

Ironically, man's deep worry about "what to do next" becomes the dictator of what he does next. In other words, his insistence upon freedom of choice becomes the very captor that prevents it.

Your Way (from Essay "The Real Teacher")

When will you see that your search for the true “way” is really just another search for your “way?”

Serenity

Serenity is a genuine indifference to raucous.

What to Study

Study human behavior. Learn about man, not from him.

Changing How You Act

You can only change how you see, nothing else. All changes in the course of human behavior come only from seeing anew. To see as you now see is to act as you now act.
