Mind KNOWS, and
Mind -knowing i s undivided.
And Mind THINKS - -and Mind thinking IS divided
into concentration-decentration sequences. You decentrate t o conceive thought-bodies, o r add to them. You then con-
centrate t o MULTIPLY thought-bodies into positive, m a t e r i a l body f o r m s .

T W O -WAY THINKING
Learn t o adjust your thinking t o the way a pendulum swings--or a s t h e piston of an engine a l t e r n a t e s between c o m p r e s s i o n and expansion. When you
concentrate t r y t o r e a l i z e t h a t you a r e but c o m p r e s s i n g your thoughts, and when you decentrate t r y t o r e a l i z e that you a r e expanding them for the p u r p o s e of adding to your conception.
