262. Right Study

Learn to study and read in a state of quiet, choiceless awareness. Then you will find that you are not working or struggling to master something but instead you are visiting an old friend.

261. Know Thyself

Never miss the opportunity to let a fact, event or situation teach you more about yourself. Learn to turn your intellectual learning inward and make it a tool for self-cultivation.

260. On Immortality

"The energy of the soul is never extinguished with the passing of the physical body." - Linda Lee Cadwell.

259. Being Ahead of your Time

"If someone is merely ahead of time, it will catch him up one day." - Ludwig Wittgenstein.

It is very common for creative people to be far ahead of their time and consequently, to be misunderstood.

258. Command Structure

"Nothing is possible unless there is one person in command whom the others always have to obey, starting at the top and ending at the very bottom."
- Adolph Hitler.

There can only ever be one captain on a ship. You must decide for yourself how you will organise your internal command structure. If you put Reason in charge, you will not go wrong.
