Control

Know that you can control your own life,
your own body and your own mind
and be determined to exercise that control.

To control your thoughts,
do not try to control those thoughts that you are thinking now,
but use the will in producing a new line of thinking.

To control your feelings,
enter into the finer feelings of the opposite states of feeling.

To control desires, transmute the forces 
that are trying to express themselves through those desires;
then turn the transmuted energy into those parts of mind or body
where expression may legitimately take place now.

You control the exterior by causing the interior
to become exactly what you wish the exterior to be.

Our object is not to control those things that exist about us,
but to develop those things that exist within us.

We can control only that which we have risen above.

When the self is perfect,
as far as its present requirements are concerned,
it needs no control.

It is already subconsciously controlled
by its state of harmony with the real will.

If it is not doing its work perfectly,
it needs transformation, not control.

In the last analysis,
the control of everything depends on the control of self.
