The first rule of magic is containment. Also, the first rule with many other things, like containing heat in a pizza oven or preserving tomatoes in a Mason Jar. Same with the Inner Life. When we are working on something new - an idea, invention, habit, or anything else we want to accomplish - it can be really destructive if these are not contained or protected. Containment keeps what is inside from leaking out, and prevents impurities from the outside from seeping in. What is contained has value, which is why we put it in a container. Your ideas, attitudes and self-improvement are also valuable, so keep them contained until you are ready to tell the world!
