Watch Worry Fade Roy Masters from ‘Cure Stress’ Meditation is a very simple process—too simple for words. Meditation should be simple, and it should gradually become even more simple. It should never become more complex, or where do you end? Meditation gives you so little to do that your ego may find it difficult, even […]
Back To Basics
Back To Basics Roy Masters Now, to sum up: you must meditate because you want to, not because you have to. Remember to overlook on the spot and be outspoken with firmness, kindness and patience from now on, keeping this principle uppermost in your thoughts in the ever-present. Do not worry or dwell on the […]
Command Feeling and Thought
Command Feeling and Thought Roy Masters from ‘HYMCKYW’ The pursuit of comfort or pleasure is an escape from the correcting factor of conscience—a movement away from what is truly healing. This kind of escape merely generates bigger problems. In a sense, it is self-perpetuating in that it continues to provide us with a growing pain, […]
Listening For The Starting Gun
Listening For The Starting Gun Roy Masters from ‘HYMWMYW’ The brain of man is designed to serve the conscious will. Our will should in turn desire to be overshadowed by a divine purpose.

The Spirit of Original Sin
The Spirit of Original Sin Roy Masters from ‘Adam and Eve Sindrome’ An ancient flaw in her nature draws a woman to a weak man. This flaw teaches her to feel secure by making him fail. It also excites the weakness of the man to cling to her, which is what fuels in her a […]
Do You Have A Conscience?
Do You Have A Conscience? Roy Masters Many people exist without a conscience, fully capable of harming others with impunity, completely unaware of what they are doing wrong and perfectly self-justified in every wicked and thoughtless deed. Standing your ground against these types of people can be a nightmare of confusion, a danger to your […]
Submitting to “Goodies”
Submitting to “Goodies” Roy Masters, from ‘Eat No Evil’ A compulsion toward food, alcohol, drugs, sex—or anything at all—has its roots in pride and the terrible willfulness that pride encourages us to express as our due. After all, I’m worth it, we say, as we help ourselves to one after the other of our delicacies […]
