After the day’s activities devoted to your ordinary duties and affairs and the consequent devitalization of your life force, more or less, it is well to set apart an hour or half hour, as your judgment might dictate, each evening when you can be alone and undisturbed, and in the quiet and stillness of your own being, take each word separately down the list, or if you feel so disposed, select such words from the list as you feel your particular needs require at the time. Firmly impress your being with each word and at the same time, interpreting its meaning and its effect upon you, not necessarily in the terms of its generally accepted meaning, but strictly as it appeals to you.

Although I am continuing to impress you with the fact that you are the “I,” the power in your world, and that you are to stand upon your own two feet firmly and live it – not particularly display it, but live it – (great characters shrink from display and publicity because of the littleness of it) yet I do not advise that the declaration “I am” be used in connection with these words unless you are at the time in a positive frame of mind; unless you have a full conviction of what you are repeating.

To declare, for example, “I am Power,” lays the Inner mind open to attack from the Outer in the form of denial or doubt. Whereas, when the words are only repeated, they do not take upon themselves the nature of declaration, and consequently the Outer mind has not been given the opportunity to become aroused in opposition.

To simplify explanation of your right attitude during this practice, I might say that keeping your thoughts off the body and off external affairs and things, automatically places you in the ideal mood. Of course, the Outer mind will wander and bring up hundreds of things, hundreds of times, but like the automobile that I mentioned becoming diverted on to the wrong road, you bring it back and bring it back, each time setting it on the right road. This wandering propensity of the Outer mind will gradually lessen during these periods and you will find yourself becoming a master of concentration.

There should be no strain, striving, anxiety or concern connected with this practice. You devote each evening, unless otherwise taken up by occasional business, social or family duties, to allowing these words to sink in and penetrate your being and like drops of pure water entering a vessel of impure water, drop by drop the non-essentials are forced out and the essentials remain.

These powerful words, acting upon you (your being) in the same way that food does upon your body, automatically find their own needed places and uses within, in the same manner as do the elements in the food which you eat, and you should not look for results from this practice any more than you look for results from what you eat daily. You are to practice this system every evening as regularly and diligently as your affairs will permit and then forget them entirely until the next evening. They will be doing their work below the surface unknown to you, but their effects will show forth in you and your affairs.
