his mental house, throwing away the thoughts that have destroyed him in the past and which will destroy him again.
Until the mental plate is changed the body and environment will reprint the old pictures, no matter how often we fast, for there is always an insulation of cells from which the new cells build and these will keep the old registrations if they are not changed by new mentation. The cell intelligence is extended through cell continuity and cell contiguity, and the cells are changed every month to the marrow of the bones. In fasting, the new cell must be charged with the new intelligence or it can only repeat the old law.
CONCENTRATION first, last and all the time is the slogan for the faster. “I am the divine thinker of my own thoughts” and these thoughts must be swung around the vision of the things or thing which you want more than you want to eat.
For what are you fasting? Know beyond all doubt; build every thought to run in direct power to this thing and from an unfaltering thought world build the perfect mental picture of your heart’s desire.
What shall a man give in exchange for his soul? Ask this question of yourself and then answer it by giving steadfast allegiance to the thought, words, and vision of that desire.
There can be no changing base for the consciousness that wants to outstrip the old limiting things of our flesh and our material world.
