Self-Remembering

I would strongly advise any student 

against thinking that it was their efforts alone 

that induced self-remembering.

A machine cannot remember itself, 

at best it can have a connection 

to the outside world through the lower centers 

and an instinctive awareness of its surroundings.

The act of self-remembering 

is when something "Other" than the machine 

kicks in or connects, and how can that happen?

I put it to you that when you are not present 

and suddenly that familiar connection occurs, 

that it is something outside the machine that "arrives".

At this point, you can make a right effort 

and try to prevail 

and sustain the state for a little while longer.

This is after all what you are studying at the Academy,

"The Art of sustaining the Will of God". 

You begin by trying to do "Thy Will on earth moment by moment".

Each moment you are present on earth so is C Influence.
