Conscious Concentration

What a wonderful realisation it is and what a consciousness of the oneness of all humanity it gives us, to know that the mind of each human being has an influence upon every other human being, and what a responsibility it is when we see that the influence is in proportion to the connection one has with the Universal Mind! When the objective Mind has no connection with the Subjective mind, as in the case of an idiot; or very slightly connected, as in the case of an insane person, that mind makes no impression on the surrounding minds. But look at the man whose life has been one of conscious concentration, and who has consequently strengthened not only his magnetic force, but his connection with the Universal Mind; that man's mind will sway audiences as his spoken words never could. If he is a writer, his readers will feel the vibrations of his thought force as he impresses through

his pen his great power upon their minds.

It is through the subjective mind that we really meet each other, not only our friends on this planet, but those in other realms and spheres. Every normal human being is connected with the subjective mind in a degree, or his objective mind would be unable to comprehend the meaning of anything the physical senses report to it, and it is to unite still more closely with the subjective mind that all this mental training is necessary. Therefore teach your truth-student to concentrate and you will do more for him than anything else you can do. One person is not any brighter than another; it is only that one has greater concentration developed than another.
