of the matter, that you may be able to apply the teachings and instructions
to follow in later lessons of the course.

I recognize that my Self is greater than it seems—that above and below
consciousness are planes of mind—that just as there are lower planes of
mind which belong to my past experience in ages past and over which
I must now assert my Mastery—so are there planes of mind into which I
am unfolding gradually, which will bring me wisdom, power, and joy. I Am
Myself, in the midst of this mental world—I am the Master of my Mind—I
assert my control of its lower phases, and I demand of its higher all that it
has in store for me.
