The Journey of Self Destruction Roy Masters from ‘Eat No Evil’ It simply does not pay to see food and sex as our “personal savior.” To do so sets into motion a devolution process, evidenced by our faulty relationships and the awakening of ever lower desires. It is the way the prideful soul, thinking itself […]
Pleasure and Pain Roy Masters from ‘How Your Mind Can Make You Well’ So dependent are we on outside stimulation that very often we can’t move a muscle until someone burns the toast. We marry for the emotional drive our spouses foster in us by their unreasonable ways, their pressure and support. Our hatred provides […]
Resisting Negative Suggestion Roy Masters from ‘The Secret Power of Words’ Inasmuch as we all enter the world as products of original sin, we tend to put our faith in the people we find around us, and as a result, we wind up misled, betrayed, and disillusioned.

When we are turned on from within, we are turned off from the programming of the […]
What Is Real Love? Roy Masters From “Adam and Eve Sindrome” Evil love has no life of its own, so it must live on the life it tempts from others. The warmth men feel in the company of women is the miasma of their own decay. The love they feel is the ecstasy of their […]
A Power For Good Roy Masters from ‘Cure Stress’ We were designed to be intuitively impelled. Without this, we are ships without rudders, at the mercy of everyone’s opinions and selfish motives.
