BOOK 4 -3-4


Finally, then, remember this retreat into your own little territory within yourself. Above all, no agonies, no tensions. Be your own master, and look at things as a man, as a human being, as a citizen, as a mortal  creature. And here are two of the most immediately useful thoughts you will dip into. First that things cannot touch the mind: they are external and inert; anxieties can only come from your internal judgement. Second, that all these things that you see will change almost as you look at them, and then will be no more. Constantly bring to mind all that you have already seen changed. The universe is change: life is judgement.
