Now if your knowledge of the Work, such as it is, remains only laid up in your memory like the unused talent, you will never understand it. Indeed, you will never really know what on earth it is all about. You will hear again and again phrases such as Self-Remembering, internal considering, identifying, self-observation, and be really quite bewildered by the whole thing. It will become so much jargon to you.

After a time in the Work you will begin to get tired of your customary thoughts—i.e. the thoughts that you ordinarily go with every day—but you must remember that you can think in a new way about everything, and here you must begin by including yourself.
