to, the Man-Jesus, accompanied
by such drastic changes of mind as we are able to accomplish _to
show our goodwill._ We may learn to become more unselfish, more
patient, more sympathetic to others, and to curb the tongue, so that
words which are untrue or unkind shall not slip off it. We can learn
to govern the animal that is in us, instead of being governed by it.
No one could have a better guide in how to improve the condition of
his mind than Aaron Crane's book, _Right and Wrong Thinking._

And next, having become well knitted to the Man-Jesus, the Christ
will draw us forward step by step through all the next inward stages,
we giving to Him our attention; and He will bring us finally to that
marvellous condition of God-consciousness by which He is able to
perpetually refresh and renew us. There is one great first rule to hold
to, which is _to think lovingly of Jesus_: in this way we eventually
and automatically _come into a state of love._ In which state He will
teach us to put out our own little light, that we may learn to live by
the lovely light of God. And we have entered the Kingdom!

For myself, I experienced three conversions: the first two of terrible
suffering, and the third of great and marvellous joy, in which it is no
exaggeration to say that for a few moments I seemed to receive God
and all the freedom of the Heavens into my soul. I am not able to
say exactly how long this experience lasted, for I was dead to time
and place, but I should judge it to have been from fifteen to twenty
minutes.

The first conversion came upon me one afternoon in my room, as I
came in from walking. I had been thinking of Jesus while I walked,
as I was often in the habit of doing. Without any intention or
premeditation on my part, I was now suddenly overwhelmed by a
most horrible, unbearable, inexplicable pain of remorse for my
vileness: for I seemed suddenly to be aware of Him standing there in
His marvellous purity and looking at me--not with any reproach, but
with the sweetness of a wonderful Invitation upon His face. And
immediately I saw myself utterly unworthy to come near Him: and I
writhed in the agony of this fearful perception of my unworthiness
till I could bear no more. I was sick and ill with remorse and regret, I
was utterly broken up by it. I did not know then that this awful pain
is what is known as repentance, and wondered secretly what could
have come to me. After this I found myself far more constantly
