waiting for up-call.  We go on in ordinary dog trot pace, resting, limping, “taking care of our health,” and then we think we are doing our best.  Do not permit your mind to be self-hypnotised into a false sense of being “exhausted” and “old.”  Neither of them is a fact except in your thought of yourself.  All your powers are lying dormant.  All your latent energies are lying unused.  Back of your conscious mentality are tremendous energies awaiting the pull of your will.  When your brain conceives of being something unusually great, at least so it may appear from your view-point, do not question your strength but go ahead unhesitatingly, fearlessly and steadily.  Assert your life-force.  Feel that you are young, strong and healthy and fit.  Live in mental consciousness of power and never think of weakness.  Keep your grip and run right along.  Nature is sure to honor your draft.  Nature is sure to give you strength, energy and vim, in boundless measure.  Just try this my friends, you, who write me of “there being a serious lack of vitality” in your system and hence your inability to grapple with the occult.  No such thing.  Fact is you lack courage and initiative, pluck and “go” and you are labouring under the hypnotism of weakening thoughts.  Just change your thoughts, and your reserve forces will rush out into activity and you will be a changed man in no time.

HOW TO EXERCISE.

In exercising aim at rhythm of motion.  Let your movements be easy, regular, rhythmic and graceful.  Take an interest in your work.  Do pay attention.  Put Will-Power and Mind into your work.  Think of all it means.  Do not fatigue yourself unduly.  After exercise towelling or a spray-bath is advisable.  Wet your towel, pass it over your body, rubbing thoroughly.  Raise the towel and repeat.  After exercise and towelling, you should be in a splendid glow.  Be sure to keep the windows open when exercising.  Fresh air is an absolute necessity.  Never mind about cold and so forth.  Remember the Positive Denial will fill you with Power of Resistance.  Say “Cold cannot affect my body” and believe what you say.  You can face anything in this way and remain untouched.

BATHING AND LINEN.

The student should bathe daily, using plenty of water, rubbing and cleaning the body from top to toe.  I myself bathe very early in the morning, in all seasons, in cold water.  Cold water stimulates circulation and is a wonderful tonic internally and externally.  Warm water is soothing and relaxing in its effect.  If you can bathe in the flowing water of a river, so much the better.  Swimming is a wonderful bracer, besides being an enjoyment in itself.  There is Prana in water and your body extracts this Prana from air, water and food.  I cannot give you instructions as to different forms of bathing, as this is not a “doctor” book.  As far as possible bathe twice a day, mornings and evenings; if not, once in the morning, using the towel at other times.  Bathing is not merely pouring water on body but cleansing it out and out with water rubbing and scrubbing with hands and towels.  Aim at perfect cleanliness.  Cleanliness is Godliness and Health is Holiness.
