briskly into the supreme sanctuary of the body,--the bath-room, take a
thorough salt-water bath, with a few drops of perfume in it to awaken
your self-respect. Then in a quiet, darkened room take a good sleep
of ten to fifteen hours. Then rise and eat slowly, quietly and happily
some nourishing food. God, Himself, could do nothing with Elijah,
until He had given him a long sleep and a good meal. Then Elijah went
forth and crowned a King, appointed a Prophet, established a Kingdom,
and rode Home in chariots of fire. Once you make a start, the world
is at your command. Let go of the past. Stop the foolish thinking
that conditions hold you, it is you holding onto conditions. Quit
your self-pity, blaming others, and saying you are the victim of
circumstances. Stop whining, and begin singing, then will your feet
be loosed from the stocks and the iron gates open outward before you.
Look away from yourself.

=IS YOUR WILL ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL?= Awake it. See if you are
sailing, or drifting. Set the compass of your Mind to new thoughts,
fresh purposes, selfless desires, fill your sails with boundless hope,
and let your daily voyage spell SERVICE in a big way. You are not a
chip on the River of Life, you are a Supreme Master in a Universe of
Facts. You think you are stuck in the harbor mud, but it is only that
the tide is out. Command your Will to put up the sails, God will send
you wind and tide to bear you out of the stale, sordid mental and
bodily conditions you are living in, give you wider horizon, and a
limitless ocean of experience. If anybody does not wish to sail with
you, leave them on the shore. Let go of your past, break away from
conditions that hold you in slavery. Seek new scenery, form new
surroundings, begin a new Supreme Life.

=KEEP YOUR BODY SUPREME:= Go back to Nature; be a fine animal.
