First let us understand what has already been said ---- Build your Ideal from Principle and not from details. The ideal, after we have built it, becomes the objective actual.
The Ideal should be permanent; if built of details it must continually change. Principles alone are eternal. Then for us there is this choice:
Either to assume that we know just what conditions and things are best for us and then concentrate upon these; or to assume that we are expressions of Intelligence that knows better than we, in our partial unfoldment, can know, and trust that Intelligence to bring that which best satisfies our desire.
Assuming the first position we shall decide just what we want and concentrate upon that and draw it. Be it money, we shall fix upon a certain sum; be it friend, upon a certain person; be it environment, we shall fix upon a certain locality; be it fame, upon a certain prize, and by constant expectation, affirmation and concentration win that we have chosen.
But every person has learned that he, or she, has not correctly measured the value of things thus coveted and won. There is still a lack. Things do not satisfy. "Things shall be added," said Jesus, when in Principle you gain the Power.
For this reason I advise you to assume the position, that the sub-conscious Wisdom knows better than you know in the conscious mind, what is needed for your unfoldment, and consequent happiness, and to trust that sub-conscious Wisdom to direct you to, or to draw to you, what is best, to satisfy your Ideal.
