1. Nature is pliable, obedient. And the logos that governs it has no
reason to do evil. It knows no evil, does none, and causes harm to nothing.
It dictates all beginnings and all endings.
2. Just that you do the right thing. The rest doesn’t matter.
Cold or warm.
Tired or well-rested.
Despised or honored.
Dying . . . or busy with other assignments.
Because dying, too, is one of our assignments in life. There as well: “to
do what needs doing.”
3. Look inward. Don’t let the true nature or value of anything elude you.
4. Before long, all existing things will be transformed, to rise like smoke
(assuming all things become one), or be dispersed in fragments.
5. The logos knows where it stands, and what it has to do, and what it
has to work with.
6. The best revenge is not to be like that.
7. To move from one unselfish action to another with God in mind.
Only there, delight and stillness.
8. The mind is that which is roused and directed by itself. It makes of
itself what it chooses. It makes what it chooses of its own experience.
9. Everything is brought about by nature, not by anything beyond it, or
within it, or apart from it.
