Consider your problem, whatever it might be. Perhaps it involves
marriage or finances or health. Or perhaps you fear losing your
security, or maybe you cannot obtain what you feel you must have.
Next, remember that there is a great difference between thinking
about a problem and having a completely open mind towards it.
Thinking about a difficulty cannot end it because the thought
and the difficulty reside on the same psychological level.
Conditioned thought is the very cause of the problem, therefore
it cannot save itself. Something higher is needed. This some-
thing higher exists within a truly open mind, a mind which
neither attacks nor defends a problem. An open mind ends the
illusion of an individual self, which ends the illusion of a
problem-burdened person, which ends the illusory existence of
the problem.
Have an open mind towards the preceding paragraph."
