Power of expelling thoughts.

It is one of the prominent doctrines of some of the oriental schools of practical psychology that the power of expelling thoughts, or if need be, killing them on the spot must be attained.  Naturally the art requires practice, but like other arts, when once acquired there is no mystery or difficulty about it. It is worth practice. It has been fairly said that life only begins when this art is acquired. If you can kill a thought dead, for the time being...it not only frees a person from mental torment (which is nine tenths at least of the torment of life),  but it gives a concentrated power... absolutely unknown before.
