The problem lies with what you don't know. For as yet you have only a very vague idea about how to harness this energy, how to channel it into your life so that you can use it to make your dreams a reality. The First Condition shows you how to become aware of the great power, the great river's current, and how to make contact with it by cultivating the right kind of consciousness through meditation. The Second Condition will show you how to further shape your attitudes and actions so that the current will pick you up and carry you efficiently to your desired destination. This is done by a process known as alignment.
Alignment is analogous to what a sailor does with a sail boat.
The currents of the winds and water are constantly changing, they are very difficult to predict, and they are totally out of the sailor's control. But the sailor has knowledge on his side. He understands the nature of the currents of wind and water that surround him. Right now it may seem as though the great currents of your world are wild and turbulent too. You seem so helpless to control any of this that you simply sigh in resignation when things go awry.
