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.

     Sherry Day grew up in Long Beach, California, attended college to study business, and has worked in the Medical Field as a manager of both an Urgent Care facility and a private medical office. She has regularly attended New Life’s Southern California classes for many years.

     One morning while sitting down to eat breakfast a thought came to me. Why am I in another painful relationship? What am I doing wrong? This was the first time I ever asked, "What is wrong with me?" In the past, I had always been certain it was the other person causing all the pain and suffering.
     Over a period of years, I had read many self-help books but found no real answers to explain what I was experiencing. I once again began the search for something that made sense and would give me relief from the pain. While in a bookstore, I passed by the magazine shelf. One magazine caught my attention. I bought it and began reading the section on Notes to the Editor. In it, there was a note of gratitude from a lady in Texas stating that her relationships had been forever helped by the teachings of a man named Vernon Howard. Who was this man? I had to find out!
     This was when my search for something higher than this world really began in earnest. At the time, there was no Internet so my only sources of information were either the Library or local bookstores. I was not able to find any information on Vernon Howard through those sources. But one day while working at a Medical Office in Tustin, California, I was sitting at my desk when the mail arrived. As I was going through the mail, an appealing flyer caught my eye. I could not believe what I was seeing — it was a form to order Vernon Howard books! I immediately ordered ten of the small booklets for only $10. 
     The booklets arrived and I could not put them down. As I was reading them, I knew I had found the answer to all of my problems. I will never forget the moment of joy and excitement I felt on the day I finally found these incredible teachings. When I attended my first Vernon Howard class I sensed the rightness and felt the pure truths being spoken. I could not believe a class of real truth existed in this world. My life has forever changed in every way.
     My eyes began to open up to see things I had never seen before. Looking closely at people’s faces, I could see their pain. I knew in my heart that no one was really happy. We all go through life pretending we are happy and fulfilled when happiness can only be found by looking to something higher than this world. One of my favorite Vernon Howard exercises is to "Look Up.” It reminds me of the existence of a higher power that has my best interests at heart.
     Another startling realization was that I had been blinded and fooled by my own mind which had repeatedly told me that suffering is necessary in this life. No, we do not need to suffer but can have true freedom and happiness right now. But we must first see the pain we’re in consciously. The world is always trying to distract us from becoming fully aware of this pain but Truth urges us to face it so we can use higher principles to let it go. The Truth Principle that we are not our pain is one that is especially powerful for me. Anytime I’m unhappy, I can instantly realize it is a wrong thought that is unhappy, not the essential me!
     I will be forever grateful to Vernon Howard because I have truly found the answer to real life contentment in his teachings.
