take no clenched muscles, gritted teeth and brute will to accomplish, for all creation will back you..

Will is not a matter of straining muscles and set jaw, but of quiet, firm RECOGNITION of your oneness with all creation, and of creation’s readiness to further your cause.

The most effective practice for the cultivation of will is that of dwelling mentally upon the Sublime Self. Go away by yourself for a half hour or more and simply remember, and try to feel, this unity of the personal self with the Sublime Self. Do not try to argue yourself into believing and understanding how it can be so; simply relax your muscles, lift up your soul and try to feel as if it were so.

At first you will see little result, except that you feel more quiet than has been usual with you. You will be less easily and frequently upset, and recover more quickly. Rejoice in this and keep at the recognition exercises.

Very soon you will find this peace deepening in you, and you will find it growing easy to do many things you had considered hard. You will find yourself remembering without effort that ALL things are working with you, and that you are free to do as you will.

Keep on with the practice and you will find all the deepest desires of your heart growing easy of accomplishment. You see, you are making sure your connection with the All-Self. Instead of having to do things all by yourself as you used to, you have opened the sluice for the Sublime Will to flow into and work through you for the accomplishment of what you desire.
