when strictly abiding by these vows, the resultant attain-
ments still remain within the orbit of the mind and offer no
true spiritual uplift on their own. vows are simply mental

which is accomplished by introducing the mind to the ever-
present sound Current. as the mind begins to enjoy the
spiritual impulses and newfound meaning and energy of
the indwelling sound Current, it willingly begins to forfeit,
in degree, those conditions and circumstances to which it
was previously attached.

are a daily spiritual exercise of thirty minutes and to em-
ploy moderation in all things while living the spiritual life,
whether through the physical, emotional, mental, or spir-
itual senses.
