Friday, Lesson 4
If You're So Rich Why aren't you happy ~
The ego continually whispers in your ear "just a
little bit more and I'll give you happiness". Every time we achieve one of
our material goals instead of happiness we get the desire for just a little
bit more. Happiness will be elusive until we learn to deal with the emotion
of desire.
Week

Tuesday, Lesson 5
Don't Believe Everything You Think ~
The human mind is totally unreliable. It is not able to be consistent, and its performance is sporadic as well as erratic.
The mind has also been innocently and erroneously programmed by false fears,
propaganda, religious and social dogmas, and continual distortions of facts, not to mention falsifications, errors, misjudgments, and misinformation.
Friday, Lesson 6
The Veils of the Ego ~ Allowed to run without
supervision the mind can quickly become like a train speeding along without
an engineer, nothing good is going to occur. Thought replacement is a simple
cognitive therapy technique which can be used throughout the day to put the
engineer back in control, so you can get some peace and quiet.

Tuesday,
Lesson 9
Quit Attaching Conditions to
Your Happiness ~
I'll be happy when, just a little more, if only's are just the beginning of
the endless parade of hurdles we expect from ourselves, before we can allow
happiness to occur.
Friday, Lesson 10
Separate Realities is a Fact of Live ~ You cannot make
others like you. Only they can control their thoughts. You have nothing to
do with their thoughts. Quit living your life for others, it doesn't work;
because they are too busy worrying about what you're thinking of them.

Tuesday, Lesson 11
Quieting the Mind ~
Self-talk, guilt and exaggeration have you running around doing things that

of where you want to go. It takes a quiet mind to know what is truly
important.
