You dont need proof of success, you need proof of failure. How many already have a good amount of that? What a close to home topic, the topic of failure, failing, failures, something that we are very closely immersed in but understand very, very little about. Now I will tell you right at the start, your comprehension of fail- ure, of what it really consists of, your clear perception of failure would destroy it forever. Failure would have no hold over you, you would not flicker back and forth as you now do between success and failure. There’d be no failure and there’d be no success. That’s what it means to rise and dwell above this world. The trouble is of course, you are now depending, looking forward to signs of either one of them and so you’re trapped by both sides. You don’t need the success you think you need. You don’t even need the failure, which gives you a certain negative exhilaration, and by which you can now identify yourself as a failure - you have got to stop that. from a talk given 2/18/1989 Vernon Howards Higher World - MP3 CD Volume 26, talk 636, track 7
