One of the greatest stumbling blocks in any man’s spiritual advancement is dishonesty; the refusal to honestly face an idea if that idea happens not to please him. This comes in part from the human tendency to take the line of least resistance, whether it be in our physical endeavors or in the operation of our mind. Confronted with an idea that repudiates one we have held for years, we go far out of our way, entirely around the idea, to keep from being compelled to analyze and possibly to absorb it. Our cry is: “I do not like to believe that!” Back of this is the fear that an idea may be forced into our consciousness which will uncover to us our own responsibility. – Ernest Holmes, It’s Up to You Week’s Affirmation: I commit to the highest vision for my life.
