T.N.G. SIGNS OF THE TIMES - N.M. September 9, 1999 (#74)

Greetings from Russell's Remnant:

Russell Whitesell, our Teacher, was often heard to say, "The Path, the Path – there is nothing but the Path. Nothing else is worth a damn, not a tinker’s damn. The following axioms were taken from a book written by Ken Keyes called Handbook to Higher Consciousness. In the opinion of our editor, this is one of the finest esoteric books on the market today for those who are just beginning to move away from the exoteric philosophy of life on to the path. The book discusses a great deal about esoteric life without mentioning the world scriptures from which the teachings are drawn. Even long time disciples on the Path might find it enlightening reading.

You have always had enough to be happy. It is the patterns in your head that make you unhappy.

It is more important to be the right person than to find the right person.

Conditional love is like barter. Love everyone unconditionally - including yourself.

When our emotions are triggered, we cannot perceive clearly our actual life situation.

You make yourself and others suffer just as much when you take offense as when you give offense.

An addiction is any desire that makes you upset or unhappy if it is not satisfied.

Everything that happens to you is really perfect.

No one who has ever lived has had enough power - you win some, and you lose some.

We see things not as they are - but as we are.

You can only be here now when you instantly accept emotionally whatever happens in your life.

Don't push the river - just experience the river consciously.

Flowing - not manipulation - is the way of higher consciousness.

All your emotional problems are created by your addictions.

The greatest thing you can do for "others" is to remain happy and loving when you are with them.

Whenever you are in doubt about whether to do something or not, just ask yourself whether it makes you feel more separate from people or more loving toward people.

The experiences of insecurity and fear are usually associated with the "futuring" of your rational mind.

Love comes with the unconditional acceptance of everyone and everything around us.

Since the outside realities are only minimally changeable by you, your happiness depends on your concentrating on changing what you can change - your emotional programming that automatically makes you uptight when the world does not live up to your expectations.

How soon will you realize that the only thing you don't have is the direct experience that there's nothing you need that you don't have?

We work hard to make ourselves suffer.

Your rational mind is a master at proving that you are "right" - and the other person is "wrong." But in order to be a conscious, loving, happy and fulfilled being, it is not enough to be "right." It is much more fulfilling to be loved than to be "right." Love brings more happiness than efficiency.

To be upset over what you don't have is to waste what you do have.

Love and expanded consciousness are always enough.

Always remember that the individual with the higher consciousness is the one who is most flexible - who avoids fixed patterns. It takes two people to have an ego battle. But it only takes one person to create the peace and love of higher consciousness!

The game is to emotionally accept the unacceptable.

The past is dead. The future is imaginary. Happiness can only be in the Eternal Now Moment.

A beautiful thing about consciousness growth is that when you give it up, you get it all back.

Our senses do not permit us to tune in to reality.

Happiness varies inversely with one's addictions.

Happiness is the continuous or almost continuous experience of getting what you are willing to accept.

Act freely - but don't be addicted to the results.

There are no methods available that will enable you to successfully change all of the outer life energies around you to fit your inner emotional programming.

As we learn to totally surrender to what is, we at last find more security, more delightful sensations, more powerful effectiveness, and more love than we could ever need to be happy.

A beautiful thing about higher consciousness is that what is best for you is best for everyone else.
