How I Became Such a Good Boy 
 
 
   Whether you choose to avail yourself of this method is your own call.  It is a very powerful device. 
 
         To each it is given that he may choose one thing that he will have in life no matter what.  Two rules attend this principle.  1. You’re not supposed to change it.  2. Whatever it is that you have chosen, you’re not supposed to deny that thing to another seeker of it.  What happens if you avail yourself of this technique is that over the years you become more and more centered on what you have chosen.  It becomes a sort of benign obsession. 
 
         I did this.  I chose being a good boy, and it turned out to be one of the best choices I made in life.  It has brought me more pleasure and happiness than anything else.  And it has not ceased to deepen in over twenty years. 
 
         If you choose something other than being a good boy, make sure it’s for something worthy, or you could get into trouble.  At first I thought it would be wrong to do it for true value, since worth should be honorably won.  So I did it for money, and over the years I got more and more people about me whose purpose was money, and these are essentially demons of avarice.  The only way I was able to change it was to invent a ceremony explaining why I was changing it (to being a good boy) and performing the ritual.  It took a few years to kick in.
