Part 21

Unnecessary.

* * * * *

Fearthought, being unnecessary, is a weak, or a cowardly, self-infliction.

It is, therefore:

Not-Respectable.

* * * * *

Fearthought, the arch-enemy of mankind, can be eliminated from the Habit-of-Thought--can be entirely eradicated.

But:

NOT BY REPRESSION.

* * * * *

Man, equipped with divine selection, is the only cultivator in Nature. Nature does all growing herself, and assigns all cultivating to Man.

But:

He cultivates only through removing deterrents to growth.

* * * * *

Man's value, as assistant in evolution, consists in his ability to create harmonic conditions favorable to growth through the exercise of divine selection.

But:

He secures perfect harmony only by first harmonizing himself.

* * * * *

Happiness is "the aim and the end of existence."

But:

Happiness can rest only in Harmony, Appreciation, Love and Altruism.

* * * * *

Happiness is "The Greatest Thing in the World."

But:--If sought aright,

IT IS EASIER THAN NOT!

SUGGESTIONS IN MENTICULTURE.

STOP IMPORTING; OR ERADICATION VERSUS REPRESSION.

The attitude of Man towards his weaknesses is commonly that of repression. He assumes that fearthought, and fear, and anger, and worry, and all of the evil passions are inherent things that may be repressed but not eradicated; modified but not eliminated; kept under partial control but not gotten rid of; and cut down below the surface, so as not to be exposed to the world, but not rooted out entirely.
