THESE ARE SOMETIMES TERRIBLE DOCTRINES TO TEACH. NEVER TELL YOURSELVES THAT YOU ARE WEAK

These are sometimes terrible doctrines to teach. I know people who get frightened at these ideas, but for those who want to be practical, this is the first thing to learn. Never tell yourselves or others that you are weak. Do good if you can, but do not injure the world. You know in your inmost heart that many of your limited ideas, this humbling of yourself and praying and weeping to imaginary beings are superstitions.
