“There is no condition that you cannot modify into something more, any more than there is any painting that you can paint and not like and just paint over it again.

“You must watch the pictures that you paint with your imagination. Your environment and the conditions of your life at any given time are the direct result of your own inner expectations. If you imagine dire circumstances, ill health or desperate loneliness, these will be 'automatically' materialized, for these thoughts themselves bring about the conditions that will give them a reality in physical terms. If you would have good health then you must imagine this as vividly as you fearfully imagine ill health.” IfsGivingRealityGivenTermImaginationResultsWatchesEnvironmentImagineConditionsLonelinessHealthCircumstancesExpectationsDirectPaintIllDesperateOur EnvironmentGood HealthIll Health Author:Seth
“The greatest help to spiritual life is meditation. In meditation we divest ourselves of all material conditions and feel our divine nature. We do not depend upon any external help in meditation.
