Practical Exercise From Week Fifteen
36. For your exercise this week, concentrate on Insight; take your accustomed position and focus the thought on the fact that to have a knowledge of the creative power of thought does not mean to possess the art of thinking.
Let the thought dwell on the fact that knowledge does not apply itself. That our actions are not governed by knowledge, but by custom, precedent and habit. That the only way we can get ourselves to apply knowledge is by a determined conscious effort.
Call to mind the fact that knowledge unused passes from the mind, that the value of the information is in the application of the principle; continue this line of thought until you gain sufficient insight to formulate a definite program for applying this principle to your own particular problem.
Note: To do this exercise, go to the same room, take the same chair, the same position as
previously; be sure to relax, let go, both mentally and physically;
Always, always, always do this first; never try to do any mental work under pressure; see that
there are no tense muscles or nerves, that you are entirely
comfortable.
