PUPIL: At the risk of appearing dull may I ask yet again just how this can be done by each of us?

MASTER: I have given you the answer a number of times in this book; but it is worth repeating in a little different form, for it is an ALL IMPORTANT item. Here is the answer yet again:

• (1) Mentally go deep within your inmost self, your own Divine inmost, and ask yourself: "What DOES God really mean to me?" "What must the Divine Nature in me be like?"
  
  
• (2) Once you have formed a definite and positive conclusion on these points, try to reproduce this same feeling all through your whole being. KEEP TRYING, and you will succeed in doing it. It is worth the effort required, a million times over.
  
  
• (3) Do NOT let yourself be discouraged with this practice if you do not seem to get immediate results. Remember always that Troward says "it is the intention that counts; it is the intention which registers on the reproductive disk of Creative Life."
  
  
• (4) Another powerful help, to me personally at least, is to diligently use that affirmation from Troward which begins: "My mind is a center of Divine operation," etc. (See "Your Invisible Power," or Troward's "Dore Lectures"). The Lord's Prayer is also an excellent aid, as I have repeatedly written herein.
  
  
• (5) Try, try, try with all of your concentrated purpose to live hourly in the feeling of the affirmation, or the prayer. Do not let yourself slip and fall by indulgence in what you may call "justifiable impatience" for there is no such thing. Anger, or jealousy, or fear, and all like things, will cause you to slip also, for these things are unlike your idea of God, or of God's thought.
  

PUPIL: That is a very tall order!

MASTER: Not when you realize constantly that it is the intention that counts. The more you keep your intention right the less frequently will you slip in your practice of these principles; and soon your whole life shall have been altered until it IS like your own conception of God.
