The power of the mind is the thought power. Did we ever get anywhere by trying to manipulate thought ? Not one person out of a hundred can do this, but it is easier and more important to handle the emotions.
The emotions represent the love element in man. Therefore man must control his feelings; and by controlling his emotional nature, he will have a clear mind and the ability to think.
The "Word" or Formative Sound of Creation, is the true element of the life force, the little atoms which spin within us, (at their natural slow and sublime frequency of vibrations) which is the control of this particle of emotional nature. This is truth, the essence of God.
If we connect with the "Word" i.e. slow and sublime frequencies of vibration of the Sound-Current in the astral or emotional body the Sound-Current then controls the emotions. If we do not connect with the natural frequencies in the emotional body - then our emotions are out of control and the frequencies are at very high rates of vibration and we go out of control.
Ther astral mind wants you to be angry, to say sharp words, to feel jealous, to be greedy for money, to envy other people and their possessions, to yield yourself to depression.
All these things it wants, and many more, not because it wishes to harm you, but because it likes violent vibrations and likes to change them constantly. But you want none of these things, and therefore you must discriminate between your wants and your body's.
We control our emotional nature via the emotional body and not the mind, because the emotional body is the (astral) middle body of man -- that which stands between the physical and the mental (or causal) as the balance.
Why do we not hear the Sound Principle ? Though the Sound is ever reverberating in each of us, we do not hear It. The reason for this is not hard to find.
So ong as the mind stuff is in a state of perpetual storm and stress, is torn by countless conflicting passions and desires, feeds fat on the food of egotism, and is tossed about on the endless waves of worldly life, it cannot possibly catch the slow and sublime rhythmic vibrations off the subtle Sound, nor acquire any love for It.
In the Gospel of St. Matthew, Christ says: For this people's heart is waxed gross lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted and I should heal them. Matthew 13: 13, 14, 15.
