You rise to a higher level of consciousness
by taking your attention away from your present limitations
and placing it upon that which you desire to be.
To remove the manifestations,
all that is required of you, the conceiver,
is to to take your attention away from the conception.
Just as the vine is pruned
by cutting away its useless branches and roots,
prune your imagination by withdrawing attention
from all the unlovely and destructive ideas
and concentrating on the ideal you wish to attain.
Just as a branch withers and dies
if the sap of the vine ceases to flow towards it,
so do things and qualities pass away
if you take yours attention from them;
because your attention is the sap of life
which sustains the expression of your life.
