Such a  change  cannot take place  until 
the individual first  discovers the  self that he  would  change. This discovery 
can be  made only through an  uncritical observation of his reactions to 
life. The sum total of these  reactions defines the  individual's state  of con -
sciousness, and  it is the  individual's state  of consciousness that  attracts 
the situations and  circumstances of his life. So the  starting  point of true  metaphysics, on its practical side, is self ob -
servation in order  to discover  one's reactions to life,  reactions which form 
one's secret self –  the cause  of the  phenomena  of life. With Emerson, I accept the  fact that “Man surrounds himself with the true
image of himself . . . what we are, that only can we  see." There  is a definite  connection between what is outer  and what is inner  in 
man, and  it is ever  our inner  states that attract our outer  life. Therefore, 
the individual must always start   with himself. It is one's self that must be  changed. Man, in his blindness, is quite  satisfied  with himself, but heartily dislikes 
the circumstances and  situations of his life. He feels this way, not knowing
that the  cause  of his displeasure lies not in the  condition nor the  person 
with whom he  is displeased, but in the  very self he likes so much. Not re -
alizing  that "he  surrounds himself with the  true image of himself" and   
that "what he  is, that only can he  see," he is shocked  when he  discovers 
that it has always been his own deceitfulness that made him suspicious of
others. Self observation would  reveal this deceitful one  in all of us; and  this one 
must be  accepted  before  there  can be  any transformation of ourselves. At this moment, try to notice your inner  state. To what thoughts are you 
consenting? With  what feelings are  you identified? You  must be  ever care-
ful where  you are within yourself. More Free Books Law of Attraction HavenMost of us think  that we are  kind and loving, generous and  tolerant, for -
giving  and noble;  but an uncritical observation of our reactions to life  will 
reveal a  self that is not at all kind  and loving, generous and  tolerant, for -
giving  and noble. And  it is this self that we  must first  accept and  then set 
about to change. Rebirth depends on inner  work on one's self. No one  can be  reborn with -
out changing  this self. Any time  that an entirely new  set of reactions en -
ters into a  person's life, a  change  of consciousness has taken place, a 
a spiritual rebirth has occurred. Having  discovered, through an uncritical observation of your reactions to 
life, a  self that must be  changed,  you must now  formulate  an aim. That is,
you must define  the one you would  like to be instead  of the  one you truly 
are in secret. With this aim clearly defined, you  must, throughout your 
conscious waking  day, notice your every reaction in regard  to this aim. The reason for this is that everyone  lives in a  definite  state of conscious -
ness, which state of consciousness we have  already described  as the  sum 
total of his reactions to life. Therefore, in defining  an aim, you  are defin -
ing a state of consciousness, which, like  all states of consciousness, must 
have its reactions to life. For example:  if a rumor or an idle   remark could 
cause  an anxious reaction in one  person and  no reaction in another, this is
positive  proof that the  two people  are living  in two different states of con -
sciousness. If you  define  your aim as a  noble,  generous, secure,  kindly individual -  
knowing  that all  things are  states of consciousness –  you can easily tell 
whether  you are faithful to your aim in life  by watching  your reactions to 
the daily events of life. If you  are faithful to your ideal, your reactions will 
conform to your aim, for you  will be  identified  with your aim and, there -
fore, will be  thinking  from your aim. If your reactions are  not in harmony 
with  your ideal, it is a  sure sign that you  are separated  from your ideal 
and are only thinking  of it. Assume  that you  are the loving  one you want 
to be, and  notice your reactions throughout the  day in regard  to that as -
sumption; for your reactions will tell you  the state from which you are op -
erating. This is where  the third fundamental, detachment, enters  in. Having  dis-
covered  that everything  is a state of consciousness made visible  and hav-
ing defined  that particular  state which we want to make visible, we now 
set about the  task of entering  such a  state, for we must move  psychologi -
cally from where  we are to where  we desire  to be. The purpose  of practicing  detachment is to separate  us from our present 
reactions to life  and attach us to our aim in life. This inner  separation  
must be  developed  by practice. At   first we seem to have  no power  to 
More Free Books Law of Attraction Havenseparate  ourselves from undesirable  inner states, simply  because  we have
always taken every mood, every reaction, as natural and  have become   
identified  with them. When we  have no idea that our reactions are  only 
states of consciousness from which it is possible  to separate  ourselves, we
go round  and round  in the  same  circle of problems –  not seeing  them as 
inner states but as outer  situations. We  practice detachment, or inner 
separation, that we  may escape  from the  circle of our habitual reactions 
to life. That is why we  must formulate  an aim and  constantly notice our -
selves in regard  to that aim. This teaching  begins with self  observation. Secondly it asks, "What do 
you want?" And  then it teaches detachment from all negative  states and 
attachment to your aim. This last  state -  attachment to your aim -  is  ac-
complished  by frequently assuming  the feeling  of your wish fulfilled. We must practice separating  ourselves from our negative  moods and 
thoughts in the  midst  of all the  troubles and  disasters of daily life. No one 
can be  different from what he  is now  unless he  begins to separate  himself
from his present reactions and  to identify himself with his aim. Detach -
ment from negative  states and  assumption of the  wish fulfilled  must be   
practiced  in the  midst of all the  blessings and  cursings of life. The way of true  metaphysics lies in the  midst of all that is going  on in life. We must constantly practice self  observation, thinking  from our aim, and 
detachment from negative moods and  thoughts if we  would  be doers of 
truth instead  of mere  hearers. Practice these  three fundamentals and  you will rise  to higher  and high-
er levels of consciousness. Remember, always, it is your state  of con -
sciousness that attracts your life. Start climbing! Neville

' In other words, they're talking more than just acknowledging certain facts about themselves while being neutral toward those observations. It appears the author emphasizes discovering who someone genuinely wants to grow up becoming versus how others perceive me'. Instead of taking control over external factors outside myself. , focus internally& adjust my response accordingly
