I do not see how the method of faith in the
                                           cells can be likened to eating a slice of the
                                           moon. Nobody ever got a slice of the moon,
                                           but the healing by faith in the cells is an
                                           actual fact and a law of Nature and has been
                                           demonstrated often enough even apart from
                                           yoga. The way to get faith and all things
                                           else is to insist on having them and refuse
                                           to flag or despair or give up until one has
                                           them — it is the way by which everything
                                           has been got since this difficult earth began
                                           to have thinking and aspiring creatures upon
                                           it. It is to open always, always to the Light
                                           and turn one’s back on the Darkness. It is to
                                           refuse the voices that say persistently, “You
                                           cannot, you shall not, you are incapable,
                                           you are the puppet of a dream,” — for these
                                           are the enemy voices, they cut one off from
                                           the result that was coming, by their strident
                                           clamour and then triumphantly point to
                                           the barrenness of the result as a proof of
                                           their thesis. The difficulty of the endeavour
                                           is a known thing, but the difficult is not
                                           the impossible — it is the difficult that has
                                           always been accomplished and the conquest
                                           of difficulties makes up all that is valuable in
                                           the earth’s history. In the spiritual endeavour
                                           also it shall be so.
