It reveals the considerable importance of not allowing what one does not want to be or does not want to do to formulate itself into thought within the being.

From every point of view it is bad to concentrate on what one does not want, on what one has to reject, what one refuses to be&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>One must not admit bad thoughts into oneself under the pretext that they are merely thoughts.
