He quotes many notable people throughout time all the while telling you how it really is w/ no fluff. What I like most about this book is that even though one man wrote this book it's not just one man's opinion. I guess a lot of books speak to some more than others. ![]() (More goodness-including PhilosophersNotes on 250+ books at ) Don’t Be Impatient - Practice and relax.Īs we get our Supermind on, let’s remember we’ve *gotta* be true to ourselves! I was originally introduced to his work by Tom Russell who runs (thx again, Tom!) and I *HIGHLY* recommend you check out the book if you’re diggin’ it.Ģ. You may not’ve heard of him, but he’s sold over 7 million books and brings an incredibly lucid, old-school, straight-to-the-point kinda energy to his great books. Vernon Howard is an amazing 20th century teacher. ~ Vernon Howard from The Power of Your Supermind Our entire task on earth is to awaken to the unfoldments of Supermind.” “Supermind exists within everyone, but man is asleep to it. If you switch on the light in a dark room, it makes no difference how long it was dark because the light will still shine. “It is a mistake for anyone to think he has lived too long in his old, unsatisfactory ways to make the great change. Quite simply, it is the force within every man that is as high above the ordinary mind as the sky's above the earth.” It is what an Eastern mystic would call the silent mind, or what the New Testament calls the Kingdom of Heaven within. It is the same thing as awareness, consciousness, esoteric thinking. I mean the mental faculty which is above and beyond the conditioned human thought. The definition of Supermind is not complex it is quite simple. ![]() “Since it is necessary to select a single word to indicate the Higher Force covered in this book, I choose to call it Supermind.

Yes, that is the false self, a self that is defined by external conditioning and internal aimlessness. It is about telling you things that you actually did always know, you knew deep inside, but always discounted them in favor of what your conditioned mind, society, snap emotions, ego, and others, have told you and keep telling you. ![]() This book is about showing how our own false-self makes us miserable and is the root of all our problems, until we wake up and stop letting it guide us, stop empowering its shadowy existence. This book is about making you think and want to try to get in touch with your True Self. This book is about showing you that you, and only you, have the answer to your happiness. I read some reviews saying the book does not show you any practical way to improve yourself. I was not mistaken liking Vernon at the first sight. A couple of years later I came across this book, "The Power of Your Supermind" and remembering what I had heard about Howard I got the book, and I must say it was a WOW. I started liking Vernon just from things I heard about him, before even knowing him. He talked about his teacher, Vernon Howard. One day I was listening to a radio show and incidentally the guest of the show was Guy Finely. It helped me a lot through one of the toughest periods in my life. Guy's writings really resonated with a cord inside me. I was introduced to Vernon Howard through his famous student Guy Finley. ![]()
