There are ways in which this natural ability can be strengthened, and it may be of benefit that we discuss them. These ways will not only be helpful in facilitating these automatic health correction tendencies, but will also be generally beneficial as far as all inner abilities are concerned.

It goes without saying that you must bring to all your experiences more than a mere wish to be different, more than a mere curiosity. In order for you to operate effectively in any area there must be in your makeup a strong, positive and definite desire to benefit the race of man.
