People create, multiply, and amplify chaotic thoughts and feelings within themselves through the life they lead

Day and night we allow our thoughts to be filled with all kinds of futilities. This is why, when the time comes to meditate, to unite with the light, we encounter major difficulties. So many people complain how hard it is to meditate, to concentrate one's mind on a spiritual subject, because they are constantly invaded by all kinds of disparate thoughts and feelings which distract them. There are even dramatic cases where, in the encounter with one's own self which meditation entails, some people are so deeply moved and caught off their guard by the nature of the impressions and currents passing through them, that they imagine that these were sent by others who wished them harm. No, you should never attribute the turmoil you experience to an external cause. People create, multiply, and amplify chaotic thoughts and feelings within themselves through the life they lead. They may not realize it during their day-to-day lives. But as soon as they finally want to stop for a moment and unite with the light, in silence, they feel invaded by undesirable presences, which they themselves have attracted. Begin therefore by looking for the cause of your problems within yourself and work at controlling your thoughts. And then one day you will succeed.
