  Once we have recognized that we cannot rely on the mental being
• 0:05
  to truly review analyze and control the vital desire, soul
• 0:10
  of the external being and adopted the principle enunciated
• 0:14
  by the mother to hold up. Each thought, feeling emotion
• 0:19
  action and motivation before a screen of one's highest ideals.
• 0:25
  We have grasped a basic tool for changing Human Nature.

  The mother expounds on this review process and how to apply
• 0:34
  it sincere and constant application can make a profound
• 0:39
  difference in the way. One responds and acts over time.

  The mother notes quote, most often you will find that it
• 0:49
  corresponds to unconsciousness then you file it among
• 0:53
  unconscious things. And resolved that next time you
• 0:55
  will try to be conscious before doing anything.
• 0:59
  But in other cases, you will see that it was a nasty little
• 1:02
  egoism, quite black which had come to distort your action, or
• 1:07
  your thought. Then you place this egoism
• 1:11
  before your light and ask yourself.
• 1:14
  Why has it the right to make me act like that?
• 1:17
  Think like that. And instead of accepting any odd
• 1:21
  explanation, you must search and you will find in a corner of
• 1:26
  your being something, which thinks and says, I know, I shall
• 1:31
  accept everything but that You will see that.
• 1:34
  It is a petty, vanity, a movement of self-love, and
• 1:38
  egoistic feeling hidden somewhere, 100 things, When you
• 1:44
  take a good look at these things, in the light of your
• 1:46
  ideal, is cherishing this movement in Conformity with my
• 1:52
  seeking and the realization of my ideal or not, I put this dark
• 1:58
  little corner in front of the light until the light, enters
• 2:00
  it, and it disappears. Then the comedy is over but the
• 2:07
  comedy of your whole day is not finished yet you know for there
• 2:10
  are many things which have to pass thus before the light but
• 2:15
  if you continue this game for truly, it is a game.
• 2:19
  If you do this sincerely I assure you that in six months,
• 2:24
  you will not recognize yourself what I was like that.
