Truth Principles at Work

     Here is a series of articles which will be ongoing for some time by New Life Students who have been attending classes for a number of years. They have experienced the benefits of coming to class on a regular basis for themselves. Read and enjoy these helpful and inspiring essays.

     Eric Pendleton lives and works in the Pine/Strawberry/Payson area of Arizona. As you will find out in his article, he has held many different jobs in order to make a living but credits Vernon Howard’s marvelous teachings with opening his eyes and heart to his life’s real purpose. He regularly attends New Life’s classes in Strawberry, Arizona.

     I was looking for something, but I did not know what it might be. In the beginning, I searched for answers in several Christian religions, but I saw the pastors’ contradictions about what they preached. I also went into astrology and many new age writers, but thankfully, I finally came across Vernon Howard through his classic book The Mystic Path to Cosmic Power which, interestingly enough, I found to be based on authentic Christian principles.
     I was living in Las Vegas, and to my surprise, I found that Vernon Howard was giving a talk at the local library, so I decided to go and listen to him speak. What he said made so much sense. It went directly to your heart. Interestingly enough, the man next to me said he did not understand anything Vernon Howard was saying. This really surprised me, because for me, the talk really hit home. My mind was always troubled about how to live life. What I had heard about how to live one’s life always seemed false. Certain ideas and principles that were supposed to make me happy just didn’t seem to work.
     After the lecture, I found out that Vernon Howard was teaching classes in Boulder City, Nevada, and I started attending them regularly. At the time I was working as a cook at a large hotel and I began to apply the principles - these truths that have been around forever – in my daily life.
     One truth, which I remembered quite well, was “You are not your thoughts.” This made so much sense.  It helped me immediately, because I began to realize that it was my thoughts that were causing me the terrible problems I had.
     When I moved to Arizona in the mid-1990s, I was faced with many new challenges, including finding employment and other life conditions. I was aware that I was apprehensive, because I had no idea what the future held. In Las Vegas, I had been a cook. But in Arizona, I was many different things — a carpenter, landscaper, detention officer, and Police Officer. Now I work as a Fitness Gym Director and a Reserve Police officer. Going into the unknown and unfamiliar is always scary to the old nature. But unlike most people out in the world, I had these truth principles to work with and to guide me. They saved my life and got me through the many obstacles my mind had created for me. As Vernon Howard said on many occasions, “You do not have problems. They are manufactured in your mind.”
     I have experienced Truth working in my life, but my false nature is still causing difficulties. I realize more and more that I need to let Truth in more and more. When I worry, it’s a useless thought. The worry is very negative, so I need to apply the principles more faithfully in my everyday life.
     I am so glad I went to that library lecture in Las Vegas. It really did save my life. There are so many Vernon Howard stories I have heard since coming to New Life that have been of great help to me. I strongly recommend listening to Vernon Howard CDs and MP3 CDs and reading the books and booklets. They will help you so much.
