The subconscious can only accept. It takes us at our word; we have asked for something; we are now to receive it; we have made our bed, we are now to lie in it; the die has been cast; the threads will carry out the pattern we have made.

31. Insight is a faculty of the mind whereby we are enabled to examine facts and conditions at long range, a kind of human telescope; it enables us to understand all aspects, in any undertaking.
32. Insight enables us to be prepared for the situations which we shall meet; we can therefore overcome them easily.
33. Insight enables us to plan to advantage and turn our thought and attention in the right direction, into channels which can yield a definite return.

35. Insight is a product of the world within and is developed in the Silence, by concentration.
