When you close your eyes to sleep, first place your mind in a spiritual attitude and utter a prayer, audibly or inwardly.
Try to understand your dreams and you will be helped by them.
Sometimes, the physical brain works the subconsciousness into a state of material thought and the confusion causes the dreams to be slightly mixed.
If in the morning you awaken with an idea that the dream afforded you was either a warning or a message of good, use discretion and follow it out carefully in your physical life if you wish to receive benefit.
Always analyse a dream from several viewpoints, but use your own intuitional powers to discriminate between its various aspects.
Never go to sleep until you have protected your subconsciousness, your conscious mind and your physical brain with good thoughts and prayers.
Thrust out all thoughts, but the good and unselfish ones. Never mentally treat or pray for anyone without his consent or request.
Always be careful not to force your thoughts into spiritual channels.
Attract those sacred, true thoughts easily, without a conscious effort. Later, when you lie down to sleep, you will naturally think along spiritual lines.
Excitement before going to sleep disturbs the mind when it is preparing to leave the body for the night's crusade—be careful to calm yourself as much as possible.
Keep happy thoughts, but do not allow them to excite you and disturb the quiet action of the physical heart and brain.
When in a happy mood, pray as often as in a depressed one, for prayer thoughts are above all others.
A prayer is a sacred tribute to God. When you arrive here, try to forget the troubles, which beset you upon the earth. Know they are lessons by which you will surely profit if you do not allow them to engulf you.
Lessons which are bitter are the foundations of the higher realisation.
Happiness comes when man knows the truth, and that truth will make him free of every disturbance, which mentally or physically tries to distress him without legal rights under the Divine Supreme Law. If in this incarnation you pass some of the most difficult tests, be comforted, for you will not suffer them again.
Your trials and tribulations will pass into the dust of the material.
You will be free when you stand and face the law of adjustment. Learn to forgive and learn to love your brother.
If you try to absorb and realise the truth, you will find your lessons will not seem so bitter—
You will possess the knowledge that the suffering you go through is a test and you will strive to pass it without complaint.
