thought through “weak nerves.” The only bit of you which may refuse to agree with this statement of the case is your spoiled appetite. Are you going to pamper that and starve your high thought? It is for you to decide.
But now let us suppose that with your whole being you will serve the God of High Thinking. You are going to practice low living that you may more fully serve the God of High Thinking. You are fasting your body into an unclogged state. You are feeding it upon . simple foods, such as nuts and fruits, which are not thickening to the blood, as are meat, condiments and pastries. You are exercising freely and taking deep, full, outdoor breathing exercises to promote good circulation of blood and free the nerves. You are doing all this, and you are rejoicing in the glorious feeling of health and courage and freedom which comes to you. You are bright, alert, ready, with “a heart for any fate.”
But you want yet higher thinking. Good! Your nerves are free now, and ready to receive higher thought than any they have ever carried.
Now fill them with “incessant affirmatives” of your HIGHEST IDEALS. “Go into the silence” and see how still you can be, mentally and physically. Simply rest until Spirit can form within you the mental picture of what you are to work for. Keep being still, and waiting expectantly, until “it comes to you” just what to do.
To that clean body and brain of yours it will come quickly and with joy.
Keep free in body, and keep looking mentally for new things to “come to you,” and the way will grow brighter and brighter. You will grow brighter and brighter and brighter. And whatsoever things you desire you shall have.
Say “I can and I will.” It will fill you with power.
Above all things, say “I AM what I desire to be.” It is true. You have made conscious connection with The Infinite.
