"You should affirm the power of Good with all your strength, and at the same tune identify the Higher Self with that good. By constantly holding in mind the thought of such identification you entirely ignore the lower self – which is the one thing it fears. By refusing to give it the substance it requires to live upon, that is, the substance of your own evil thoughts and words, it is rendered powerless, becomes more and more tenuous, and disintegrates quickly after death, and even before death, in the case of the Masters or advanced chelas who have killed it out by overcoming it with Good, thus changing its nature... Do not feed and nourish that lower self... p. 298"
