Do this without any thinking, but noting carefully any impressions that come to your mind, and search out their hidden meaning and potency.

If you will stay with this, giving your mind again and again the command, putting the big emphasis always on the “I,” you will suddenly realize that something is released within you—a sense of a new and much greater “I:” that you are seemingly standing above and looking down at the little “I,” which it now realizes is but your mind listening to your command and waiting as it were for your further word.

And when this realization is felt the impulse will come to continue speaking in words similar to the following:

“Yes, My son, I alone Am. You are not at all as a separate self. You are but My human mind, an outer extension of My consciousness, which I Am using to express Myself in the outer world.

“Be still always, and accustom yourself to turning within to Me and waiting upon Me; for I alone live in your body, inspire you to do all that you do, and give you of My knowledge and power for anything you need—as much as you are able to use.

“It is only when you try to use such knowledge and power for selfish ends, without regard to Me, and when you do not listen to My quiet voice ever speaking within, that you make mistakes, get into trouble, get sick or hurt, and learn that you are nothing and can do nothing of your own power or self.”

Those of you who follow this suggestion as given and who persist until you thus learn to talk to your mind and get it to listen to you, will find your mind amazed at the wise and unusual things it is told, at the feeling of power that accompanies your words and at the confidence felt by your mind in you.

But much more than this, it will give your outer self its first conscious realization of being a part of and always connected with a very wonderful Something which it now knows is the real “I,” into whose consciousness it can retire at will by simply commanding, with the power of this new knowing:

“Be still, and know I Am, and that I can take care of everything. Step aside and let Me take charge.”
