If you have learned the truth which I have tried to inculcate through this series of lessons, if you can see yourself as a ray proceeding from the Central Energy, if you can realize that in that Central Energy all things that you would be lie potentially and that you can call them forth from within, you are then standing squarely on your feet, with head erect, chest well up, lungs inflated and power in your right hand, ready for action. The existing order of things then has no power over you, for whatever it may be, you, by your very mental attitude, have thus cleared a space for your energies and have made a place for yourself in the world's activities.

Picture yourself as standing thus, and so great is the power of imagery that before long your image will become an external reality.

You can do this all alone, if you have only a crust to eat and your room rent is unpaid. Ill luck and apparently insurmountable obstacles are only the appliances in life's gymnasium on which to increase your mental muscle. Would you fall down weakly before such an aid and eye it with terror? You are foolish if you do.

You have seen a horse tremble with fear at sight of a newspaper caught up and swirled by the wind, and have, no doubt, smiled at its foolish fright, but all the while you were subject to terrors quite as unsubstantial.
