Suppose it is a thought of business. You have considered the question and are unable to decide. Tell yourself that, at the right time, it will be clear to you. It will come when you let go of it. "My word shall not return unto me void!" How shall it return if you do not let it go? It goes from you when you forget it once uttered in faith. Thus are you learning concentration.

You wish to go voluntarily into the sub-conscious. Do the same. Tell yourself what you wish. Sit down and let that wish be the controller of the hour. Give up! Forget that you have made the wish. Forget that you have the desire or that you have given the direction. Let your thoughts take, without your conscious direction, the line you have previously desired. Practice alone will bring the power to do this.

By a systematic application of the above, you will grow into a conscious control of your thought, as you have heretofore, through necessity, grown into an involuntary control. You can readily concentrate, when compelled, in your business. Affirm that it is easy to concentrate at will and DO it. LET the thought have full sway over you. I know of no other way to accomplish this but this: Pay Attention to a chosen thought. It is a good plan to practice self-suggestion in going to sleep. Tell yourself you are sleepy and go to sleep on Suggestion. Tell yourself you feel like yawning and let it yawn. Tell yourself that you are hungry and let the hunger come. Tell yourself that you wish some food and suggest the kind and let hunger for it come. Tell yourself that you wish to go, or to do something, and let the desire grow and obey. In this way, you get into the habit of living from the sub-conscious by self-direction and are "in the Silence" all the time. Concentration is not a thing for special occasions; it is for all times. When you have learned to "let the current have its way," you have learned the greatest lesson of life. You will live above sense, will live subject at all times
