Daily meditation, Mar. 11th: James Allen

Error is sifted away. The Gold of Truth remains.

MARCH ELEVENTH

SPIRITUAL transmutation consists in an entire reversal of the ordinary selfseeking attitude of mind towards men and things, and this reversal brings about an entirely new set of experiences. Thus the desire for a certain pleasure is abandoned, cut off at its source, and not allowed to have any place in the consciousness; but the mental force which that desire represented is not annihilated, it is transferred to a higher region of thought, transmuted into a purer form of energy. The law of conservation of energy obtains universally in mind as in matter, and the force shut off in lower directions is liberated in higher realms of spiritual activity.

The clear and cloudless heights of spiritual enlightenment.
