“Know that no influence surpasses the WILL of the entity. Make that will, then, one with that which is the entity’s ideal. Hence first, in every experience choose that which is to be the ideal; whether in the material world, the mental world, the spiritual world. For while one builds upon the other, and they become one in manifestation, there must be held that which is the standard, the criterion, the example to which one (or each) would attain.”
Edgar Cayce reading 1089-3
