Let Go

Learn to let go completely
of everything that has served its purpose,
or that in any way interferes
with the steady progress of the whole man.

To acquire the art of letting go,
the first essential is to understand
that it is the subconscious that holds,
and that the subconscious will let go
only when properly directed to do so by the objective mind.

Both the act of letting go and the act of holding on
are subconscious processes.

Whatever we place in the hands of the subjective,
the subjective will continue to hold until it is called upon to let go.

Every cause that gains a foothold in the subjective
will continue to produce effects,
until the subjective is directed to have it removed;
and every impression that is formed upon the subjective
will continue to act as a pattern for creation of thought
until a different impression is formed in its place.

Whatever we wish to remove from the subjective,
we should direct the will intentionally
upon the subjective side of that which we desire to remove,
and desire deeply to have that something removed.

The objective mind must not try to drive things out,
but must properly impress the subconscious to let go,
and when that is done the undesired thoughts or conditions
will be dropped at once.

It may require some training to master this process,
but when the process is mastered,
we can drop anything from mind instantaneously.

Any idea, any habit, any desire, any state of discord or confusion,
any diseased condition -
all can be eliminated completely from the system,
when we acquire the art of letting go.
