Just as difficult as letting the negative dispositions, the pernicious outbursts and states of mind pass as if they were foreign to our nature is following Lavelle’s recommendation: “ne pas laisser flétrir, à ne pas gaspiller toutes les bonnes dispositions qui paraissent en nous par éclairs, mais au contraire à les retenir, à les mettre en œuvre et à les faire fructifier.” To take control of oneself is nothing other than consciously deciding what should pass and what should remain. To do so requires combining full attention with unwavering resolve. Very, very difficult… Yet, just as inattention leads to a loss of control, indifference toward those rare flashes is to reject the intimate connection they make possible, but which cannot be realized without active resolve.
