Vernon Howard - wise and sincere mind

                                                         "Definition of a wise and sincere mind:

a wise and sincere mind is one that is able and willing to listen to practical lessons in self-rescue. See how simple it is.

   An insincere and foolish mind, therefore, is one in which the owner of that mind does not want to hear anything about self-rescue. In his insincerity he already has his solid ground and as much as it shakes him he calls it solid ground, therefore, any topics about self-rescue are unacceptable. He is unwilling and unable to allow himself to be healed of being himself. I want to give you a very simple word. That word is 'Through', T H R O U G H, or a simplified spelling T H R U. I want you to think of that word in relationship to you acquiring and using a more sincere mind. The word, 'through' means just that. It means you go THROUGH something. You don’t enter and stay there. To go through a room you enter it, pass across the floor and exit through. To go through a storm you enter the storm, go all the way through it and exit out at the other side. The very remem-bering of that simple little illustration will help you."
