Your fabricated statement is an ad hominem (against the rules even though Howard is not a poster) and does not tackle the veracity of his observation.

Vernon Howard's website.

This Vernon Howard seems like a
Spiritual fellow to me.

Fucknuckle, I don't think Vernon Howard is advocating a dismissal of beleifs.
Vernon Howard's message is advocating to not let your spiritual side
become a slave to false thought.

He is one of the greats. However, check this threatening message out directed at me from Wiccan_Seeker for starting this topic:

"You're getting an official warning for yet another off-topic post. Almost all your posts here are non-spiritual statements - continue along this line and you might well be banned from this Spirituality forum. "

If I post anything from Alan Watts, I can kiss my ass good-bye. Hypocrisy runs deep in narrow, immature minds.

Wiccan-Seeker didn't consider brainwashed sheep paranormal either nor the serendipitous dreams and warnings.

So how does one go about eliminating the sheep?

If one is not swayed like a young sapling by every breeze that comes along.

If I say you are wonderful and you feel great and then I say you are a jerk and you feel hurt, then you are a sheep.

If you win some substantial amount of money and feel great and then later have an equal loss and feel terrible, then you are a sheep.

Your self-worth and emotional happiness does not depend on the fickle opinion of others nor the whims of chance, but on a recognition and understanding of your valued place in the world.

Are you paraphrasing the author or offering your own opinion as to how not to be a sheep?

Laugh of the day.  :grin:

Perhaps the sheep post just got lumped in with the bunny and cat posts?  :smirk:

I am basing my summation upon having read several of his books. They frequently concern the topic of 'finding your inner oasis' wherein nothing can affect you. It is not merely being stoic or strong, but about recognizing the immutable part of your essence and dropping your neuroses, and hence your 'false self'.

Fair enough and better explanation than your previous examples.

So then...Isn't quoting and believing the opinion of Vernon Howard like being a sheep?  :confused:

Learning from another is not being a sheep. Being vulnerable to every manipulating praise and insult that comes along, is.
