Monet, Rue Saint Denis When a desire becomes a steady thought, its success is assured . – Inayat Khan S ufi Amin always used to say to me: "if you cannot master your everyday life, how are you ever going to reach Self-Realization."  Thus, as students on the path of awakening, our first and last lesson was to develop self-mastery.   In I found an book written by Neville Goddard, and was amazed how deeply he was able to articulate a fundamental principle of self-mastery regarding the use of feeling and the power of the sub-consciousness.

You pine and lament, wishing for more treasure. You become full of desire for more of life's hidden treasure.
