| self-purification? Nothing that happens in your life is good or bad in itself. Do not believe this | 16 SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT -- WILLPOWER |
| So everything that happens to you can be good if you make it so, if you use | 16 SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT -- WILLPOWER |
| by the lower self. Now here is a good example, because willpower in itself is a most | 16 SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT -- WILLPOWER |
