"BELIEFS ARE A SUBSTITUTE FOR TRUTH"

Most concepts that you hold dear are precious to you, not because they are true, but because you wished they were true.

If while reading this you feel these beliefs are being threatened, then you must reject anything in this manual that contradicts them and say, "I just can't believe that's true."

Not because it violates the truth, but because it violates your belief.

"Your life is governed by what is true (whether you believe it or not) but your experience of life is governed by what you believe (whether it is true or not)."
