08. Transformation of the Physical

Fragment ID: 3285

The period of no-effort is usually when the physical consciousness is uppermost – for the nature of that is inertia, to be moved by the higher forces or to be moved by the lower forces or by any forces, but not to move itself. One must still use one’s efforts if one can, but the great thing is to be able to call down the Force from above into the physical – otherwise to remain perfectly quiet and, undisturbed, expect its coming.
