Go back now to that mental inventory of yours and see how much trouble you have been carrying about unnecessarily in your unconscious for many years. Then shed these troubles by readjusting your mental attitude.
Refer now to the various memories, sensations, and tendencies that you acknowledged to yourself in your purging treatment. Do to each one of these old disagreeable memories and sensations just as I did to that smoking "craving." Don't bother about the circumstances that surrounded those experiences at the time that they occurred.
Simply look at each memory as it stands now. Look upon it from the standpoint of judging its influence upon you now. Judge it and weigh it apart from everything else, and consider it solely on its own merits.
I want you to look upon that supposedly painful memory, and upon no contributing element. I want you to weigh and estimate it wholly on its own particular merits, and not in relation to something that may have transpired ten, twenty, or maybe fifty years ago.
After you have looked over those old memories and sensations which you uttered aloud in the purging treatment, you will find that they are mostly "old medicine bottles" and "broken umbrella-sticks"—mental junk. You will find that most of them have neither value nor significance—except the significance of a wrong mental attitude.
