thoughts will be there. It is impossible to make the mind a blank, but it is possible to notice only that which you choose of what passes through it. It is possible to choose a thought and to so hold it before consciousness that no other is present with us. This is the case in all excitement. Fear is concentration upon the thought of fear; pain, upon the thought of pain; grief, upon grief; worry, upon something that causes intense anxiety. What the man does thus instinctively, he can do under intelligent direction. In learning concentration, you are learning to supplant instinct by self- control. Instinct is control by the Absolute, by race- thought. Concentration, as we now use it. is control of the manifestation of life by the Individual will. To attain this control, it is first necessary to believe it possible. Where this belief is, next is the declaration that you will learn it. Having so determined, you can develop it. "Where there is a will, there is a way." When you determine to so develop, you will make effort, you will do. Effort requires time. These steps and intermediary ones you will follow. Failures come from wishes, temporary likes, but never from real desires.
Do you desire it? Then you will make effort and will win. If you only wish, the desire for something else will overshadow your wish. Convert a mere wish into a desire and LET the Desire take possession of you and lead you to its own expression. Put no conscious effort upon any desire. Hold to it in faith and it will manifest. The danger is that you will try too hard. The chief thing that causes failure in all psychic attempts is that the person tries too hard. You are ever to remember that you are to LET the Current have its way through you. You can guide it by your Affirmation, but you are to know that it will run in the channel of Suggestion without effort on your part. Negative to the Soul, positive to all externals, is the law. Trust the current that knows its way, is Emerson's direction."Thy will be done," is Jesus'. "Float with hand on helm," is my direction. "TRUST," is the word.
