States

Think of the world as containing
an infinite number of states of consciousness
from which it could be viewed.

All conceivable states are awaiting
our choice and occupancy.

You cannot serve two masters,

therefore to take your attention from one state of consciousness

and place it upon another

is to die to one and live to the other.

You must believe you are in a certain state. 

You cannot forget it if you want to externalize that state.

If you would make a state alive, you must be in it. 

Only you can make a state become alive.
You must enter a state and animate it
in order for it to outpicture itself in your world.

First imagine and then feel the state imagined.

Imagination is active at and through any state it is aware of.

You enter a state through the medium of feeling.

Feeling a state produces that state.

You do not explode with joy 

unless you are identified with the ideal you seek 

and want to embody in this world. 

When you become identified with the state you contemplate 

you cannot suppress your joy. 

Get into the spirit of the state desired

by assuming the feeling that would be yours 

were you already the one you want to be.

Think feelingly only of the state you desire to realize.

Dwelling in the state long enough clothes the state in flesh.

As you capture the feeling of the state sought 

you are relieved of all effort to make it so, for it is already so.

The conscious state you abide in
determines the kind of world in which you live.

You pass through states.

You can put yourself in any state by remembering when.

It is up to you to get out of the state
which you are now in if it is undesirable to you.

Master the art of moving from one state to another state.
