Dissolve

"Once it is discovered that heretofore unconscious forces fear and resist happiness, thus making the conscious struggle for happiness all the more painful and tense, it will be clear that the self alone creates strife and suffering—not God, nor an unkind fate, nor even other people. The consequences of such a realization are, needless to emphasize, far reaching. Such a realization not only opens the door that kept particular fulfillment away, it also opens a channel to the source of the inner self, which is constantly in touch with cosmic reality, with the life force, with God. This means a life fully lived, fulfilled in all areas. It means steady growth and rich life experience. It means dynamic peace and stimulating, vibrant awareness of all that comes to pass. It means the ability to approach unhappy events with a more constructive attitude, learning from them, growing by them, until the personal involvement and connection with them is understood in such a profound way that the causes for these unhappy experiences finally dissolve."
