Manifestations of Prana 147 



two vital creative forces be equally active, but al- 

 ternately dominate one another. 



As these manifestations change from one to an- 

 other the state of Sushumnd intervenes; therefore, 

 the rays of Sushumnd extend all over the body 

 midway between the positive and negative Nddis, 

 and are the medium by which the Prana passes 

 back and forth from the positive to the negative 

 parts of the body and 'vice versa. 



The rule holds good to all eternity that like 

 seeks like. You must think in harmony with the 

 purest vibrations of the external world, if you 

 would reap the benefit of your kinship with all 

 good and all power in the Universe. Understand 

 well and clearly this fact: The very ability to 

 think at all implies the freedom to use the power 

 beneficently instead of harmfully, to change your 

 thoughts from one thing to another as easily as you 

 do your garments. Nothing is impossible to the 

 soul-directed thought; failure is through want of 

 faith, of fixedness of purpose and aim; success is 

 in direct proportion to the unswerving trust of 

 our belief. It is we who fail ; never the law 1 Our 

 very failures testify to that.
