The Buddhists tell us that spiritual development has to be made without concentration or will power. I have found that, when recently trying to practice magic while suffering from an emotional disturbance, my mental disturbances were preventing me from doing it. I eventually found that hard concentration by an effort of will eased the emotional feelings, so that I became calm and stopped agitating myself. I proved to my satisfaction that concentration and will power are of spiritual benefit.
May She be with you,
David.
