What’s New

BRAND NEW WEBSITE
      We are presently in the process of building a whole new website. The software and Shopping Cart we have been using has been sold and is being discontinued. We have to be up and running in early May. It will have a whole new look and the Shopping Cart will be different as well. Since we were just recently given notice it may take a while to get everything that is now presently on our website on the new website. But the Shopping Cart along with pertinent features, lessons and class information will be working.

How to End Suffering — Trepidation

     The commentary series below is focused on a particular negative emotion, painful feeling, negative trait or  state of human beings that causes us tremendous pain and suffering. Perhaps you will recognize that you yourself have had personal experience with this condition. You’ll find the explanation of how it causes suffering and how it produces detrimental effects in your daily life. You will also be shown how Truth can help you to lessen these effects and how you can eventually eliminate them from your life altogether. A new negative characteristic of human nature will be gone into each month. It will be great fun to explore these things in order to help us see through them and to be rid of them.
TREPIDATION by Laureen Fulton
     A feeling of trepidation often occurs over something that may happen in the future.
     For instance, an upcoming job interview, an exam, a fear of sickness or even death, etc. We have all experienced trepidation from minor anxiety to all out overwhelming fear. What we learn from Vernon Howard classes is that ALL negative emotions no matter what the form or intensity can  be overcome with acknowledgement of the negative state and consistent effort of silent self-seeing. To become aware of our inner states more clearly, we have numerous exercises for increasing awareness of what's going on inside us.
     For example:
          1. Break thought.
          2. Know where your body is and look around at your surroundings.
          3. Slow down with deliberate effort.
          4. Feel your feet on the floor or ground while walking.
     These exercises and many more that we’ve been given will begin to slow  down the mind and the thought processes. The clear seeing of the negative state begins to loosen its hold and will finally dissolve it entirely. It's like turning a light on in a dark room, thus illuminating the space and removing all darkness.
     Vernon Howard’s teachings are the ultimate exercise in common sense! The increased self-awareness  helps us to live more in the Present Moment, which is all that actually exists! The past is just a memory, very often a haunting one. If we are  truly in the Present Moment, the past can't hound us or follow us. Present Moment awareness is the pathway to all that is eternal and  life-transforming. We can actually learn to experience a New Life filled with increased energy, insight, & peace devoid of all that intrudes on us now.
     We can begin to understand that we are much more  than we ever imagined. “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” We learn what this Bible quote means, how it works and the pathway to get here. All negative feelings like fearing an upcoming event, feeling unworthy,  imagining worse-case scenarios, etc. are a drain on energy and completely unnecessary. They are mental movies and recordings we play and re-play at the expense of Eternal Peace and Happiness. A sincere
commitment to see through it and rise above it are all that is needed.
     In this new state of elevated awareness, calm command and clarity, there is no confusion, and we can better handle what the future brings. Our practical problem-solving abilities will work in a miraculous new way. In Vernon Howard’s book, The Power of Your Supermind, we learn what God-given power we can develop to rightly handle all situations, no matter how difficult.
     To sum up, any negative state, including trepidation, is an imposter, intruding on who we really are. Our true state is one of peace, contentment, and happiness. This intruder can be kicked out through the power of Awareness and Self-Seeing using Vernon Howard’s life-transforming exercises and truth principles. Nothing is more important in life!
