There is no way reality can be prevented from flowing the way it flows. it is our vain attempts to force it to flow in the service of our imaginary needs which sets us in painful conflict with our- selves and nature. you are not separate from the flowing reality; you are that flowing reality. see this and you will not see any- thing else which conflicts with it. you will be what you see.

There Is No Way Reality Can Be

Vernon Howard
There is no way reality can be prevented from flowing the way it flows. it is our vain attempts to force it to flow in the service of our imaginary needs which sets us in painful conflict with our- selves and nature. you are not separate from the flowing reality; you are that flowing reality. see this and you will not see any- thing else which conflicts with it. you will be what you see.

More From Vernon Howard

The american president increasingly used his influence to create conflicts, intensify existing conflicts, and, above all, to keep conflicts from being resolved peacefully. for years this man looked for a dispute anywhere in the world, but preferably in europe, that he could use to create political entanglements with american economic obligations to one of the contending sides, which would then steadily involve america in the conflict and thus divert attention from his own confused domestic economic policies.
Confused Men Years
So let us decide whether you want a shelter, a safety zone, which will no longer yield conflict, whether you want to escape from the present conflict to enter a condition in which there shall be no conflict; or whether you are unaware, unconscious of this conflict in which you exist. if you are unconscious of the conflict, that is, the battle that is taking place between that self and the environment, if you are unconscious of that battle, then why do you seek further remedies? remain unconscious.
Love Life Truth
We talk about social service, service to the people, service to humanity, service to others who are far away, helping to bring peace to the world - but often we forget that it is the very people around us that we must live for first of all. if you cannot serve your wife or husband or child or parent - how are you going to serve society? if you cannot make your own child happy, how do you expect to be able to make anyone else happy? if all our friends in the peace movement or of service communities of any kind do not love and help each other, whom can we love and help?

In our true blissful essence of mind is known that everything is alright forever and forever and forever...listen to the silence inside the illusion of the world, and you will remember the lesson you forgot, it is all one vast awakened thing. we were never really born, we will never really die. it has nothing to do with the imaginary idea of a personal self, other selves, many selves everywhere: self is only an idea, a mortal idea. that which passes into everything is one thing. it's a dream already ended.
Dream Essence Ideas
We were not always 70, or rather our 70 is an accumulation of all the other ways we were. our 5-year-old selves became our 10-year-old selves, and so on and on; and if we unpack our selves, the full album appears. every moment is a part of the following moment, and we are all a continuum.
Self Years Age
When you think of all the conflicts we have - whether those conflicts are local, whether they are regional or global - these conflicts are often over the management, the distribution of resources. if these resources are very valuable, if these resources are scarce, if these resources are degraded, there is going to be competition.

I think the public still isn't aware of the frequency with which the cyber-attacks, as they're being called in the press, are being used by governments around the world, not just the us.

What makes someone an artist? i don't think is has anything to do with a paintbrush. there are painters who follow the numbers, or paint billboards, or work in a small village in china, painting reproductions. these folks, while swell people, aren't artists. on the other hand, charlie chaplin was an artist, beyond a doubt. so is jonathan ive, who designed the ipod. you can be an artist who works with oil paints or marble, sure. but there are artists who work with numbers, business models, and customer conversations. art is about intent and communication, not substances.
