Control of one’s thought is the most difficult of all human labor. There is no harder work than sustained and consecutive thought. Everyone struggles. Once we recognize that it is difficult because it is actually an evolutionary advancement, we will not expect to become gurus of meditation in the space of a week. Humanity, you as an individual, however, can go no further without this evolutionary step. Until this moment in time, it has been acceptable and useful that human consciousness be awakened by outer phenomena. Now we are to take the process in hand and learn to build the images rather than the images maintain our consciousness and create our experience.
I highly advise reading something first to inspire you, something that gives you most literally “food” for thought. Do not feel defeated when you discover that your focus has drifted. Make it go back and you will build strength, and with that strength you become powerful. You can begin to shine the light of higher understanding on to your path and on the path of your fellow pioneers.
We travel together on the return home.
