I _will_ that my faculty of grasping at details and understanding their relations shall be active. May it draw from my memory the hidden things which will aid it!"

He who expects to appear in public as an orator, as a lawyer pleading a case, or as a witness, will do much to win success, if after careful forethought or reflecting on what it is that he really wants, he will repeat: "I will that tomorrow I may speak or plead, with perfect self-possession and absence of all timidity or fear!" Finally, we may after long and earnest reflection on all which I have said, and truly not till then, resolve on the Masterspell to awaken the Will itself in such a form that it will fill our soul, as it were, unto which intent it is necessary to understand what Will really means |
