REVIEW II
We are now ready for another review. We will begin where our last review left
off, and cover two ideas each day. The earlier part of each day will be devoted
to one of these ideas, and the latter part of the day to the other. We will have
one longer exercise period and frequent shorter ones in which we practice each
of them.
The longer practice periods will follow this general form: Take about fifteen
minutes for each of them, and begin by thinking about the idea and the comments
which are included in the assignments. Devote about three or four minutes to
reading them over slowly, several times if you wish, and then close your eyes
and listen. Repeat the first phase if you find your mind wandering, but try to
spend the major part of the practice period listening quietly but attentively.
There is a message waiting for you. Be confident that you will receive it.
Remember that it belongs to you, and that you want it. Do not allow your intent
to waver in the face of distracting thoughts. Realize that, whatever form they
take, they have no meaning and no power. Replace them with your determination to
succeed. Do not forget that your will has power over all fantasies and dreams.
Trust it to see you through, and carry you beyond them all.
Regard these practice periods as dedications to the way, the truth and the life.
Refuse to be side-tracked into detours, illusions and thoughts of death. You are
dedicated to salvation. Be determined each day not to leave your function
unfulfilled.
Reaffirm your determination in the shorter practice periods as well, using the
original form of the idea for general application, and a more specific form when
needed. Some specific forms will be included in the comments. These, however,
are merely suggestions. It is not the particular words you use that matter.
