There is only one problem with self-help—the Self that we are doesn’t need any help. As we move towards the Atonement, we move increasingly to the awareness that we have been wrong about everything, and towards the realization that, “my mind holds only what I think with God.” Our purpose is not to create a utopia on earth, but only to open our minds to a state of deep love and gratitude for the One, our Creator. Many of us were taught that it’s not wise to become too happy, but Love invites us to be divinely and fully happy now.
“It’s staggering when you start to get into it. You can walk into a library and walk over to the self-help section. Well, there’s only one problem with self-help and all those books. The Self that you are doesn’t need help, and never has. God created it perfect.”
