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.

A state of consciousness is the sum total
of all man believes, accepts and consents to be true.

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

The individual state of consciousness
determines the conditions and circumstances of life.

Man can select a state of consciousness
with which he desires to be identified.

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.

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 must feel yourself into the state desired.

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.

A state of consciousness -
you enter it and clothe yourself with it and let it grow.

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

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.

You must believe you are in a certain state. 

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

Do not look back at your former state and preserve it.

Live in the new state and no more in the old state.
