IF you
were to stop with the close of the last chapter, however, you
would never become great; you would be indeed a mere dreamer of
dreams, a castle-builder. Too many do stop there; they do not
understand the necessity for present action in realizing the
vision and bringing the thought-form into manifestation. Two
things are necessary; firstly, the making of the thought-form
and secondly, the actual appropriation to yourself of all that
goes into, and around, the thought-form. We have discussed the
first, now we will proceed to give directions for the second.
When you have made your thought-form, you are already, in your
interior, what you want to he; next you must become externally
what you want to be. You are already great within, but you are
not yet doing the great things without. You cannot begin, on
the instant, to do the great things; you cannot be before the
world the great actor, or lawyer, or musician, or personality
you know yourself to be; no one will entrust great things to
you as yet for you have not made yourself known. But you can
always begin to do small things in a great way.
