The Secret Door To Success (1940) by Florence Scovel Shinn

the Secret Door to success by Florence Scoville Shin read by Sarah Partridge originally published in 1940 chapter 1 the Secret Door to success so the people shouted when the priests blew with the trumpets and it came to pass when the people heard the sound of the trumpet and the people shouted with a great shout that the wall fell down flat so that the people went up into the city every man straight before him and they took the city Joshua 6 verse 20 a successful man is always asked what is the secret of your success people

never ask a man who is a failure what is the secret of your failure it is quite easy to see that they are not interested people all want to know how to open the Secret Door to success for each there is success but it seems to be behind a door or wall in the Bible reading we have heard the wonderful story of the falling of the walls of Jericho of course all biblical stories have a metaphysical interpretation we will talk now about your wall of Jericho the wall separating you from success nearly everyone has built

a wall around his own Jericho this city you are not able to enter contains great Treasures your your divinely designed success your heart's desire what kind of wall have you built around your Jericho often it is a wall of resentment resenting someone or resenting a situation shuts off your good if you are a failure and resent the success of someone else you are keeping away your own success I have given the following statement to neutralize envy and resentment what God has done for others he now does for me and and more a woman was filled

with Envy because a friend had received a gift she made this statement and an exact duplicate of the gift was given her plus another present it was when the children of Israel shouted that the walls of Jericho fell down when you make an affirmation of Truth your wall of Jericho totters I gave the following statement to a woman the walls of lack And Delay now crumble away and I enter my Promised Land under grace she had a vivid picture of stepping over a fallen wall and received the demonstration of her good almost immediately it is

the word of realization which brings about a change in your Affairs for words and thoughts are a form of radioactivity taking an interest in your work enjoying what you are doing opens the Secret Door to success a number of years ago I went to California to speak at the different centers by way way of the Panama Canal and on the boat I met a man named Jim Tully for years he had been a he called himself the king of the hobos he was ambitious and picked up an education he had a vivid imagination and commenced

writing stories about his experiences he dramatized life he enjoyed what he was doing and became a very successful author I remember one book called outside looking in it was made in to a motion picture he is now famous and prosperous and lives in Hollywood what opened the Secret Door to success for Jim Tully dramatizing his life being interested in what he was doing he made the most of being a on the boat we all sat at the Captain's Table which gave us a chance to talk Mrs Grace Stone was also a passenger on the boat

she had written the bitter tea of General Yen and was going to Hollywood to have it made into a moving picture she had lived in China and was inspired to write the book that is the secret of success to make what you are doing interesting to other people be interested in yourself and others will find you interesting a good disposition a smile often opens the Secret Door the Chinese say a man without a smiling face must not open a shop the success of a smile was brought out in a French moving picture in which Shalia

took the lead the picture was called with a smile one of the characters had become poor dreary and almost a derel he said to chaler what good has my honesty done me chaler replied even honesty won't help you without a smile so the man changes on the spot cheers up and becomes very successful living in the past complaining of your misfortunes builds a thick wall around your Jericho talking too much about your Affairs SC shattering your forces brings you up against a high wall I know a man of brains and ability who was a complete

failure he lived with his mother and Aunt and I found that every night when he went home to dinner he told them all that had taken place during the day at the office he discussed his hopes his fears and his failures I said to him you scatter your forces by talking about your Affairs don't discuss your business with your family silence is golden he took my lead during dinner he refused to talk about business his mother and Aunt were in despair they love to hear all about everything but his silence proved golden not long after

he was given a position at $100 a week and in a few years he had a salary of $300 a week success is not a secret it is a system many people are up against the wall of discouragement courage and endurance are part of the system we read this in lives of all successful men and women I had an amusing experience which brought this to my notice I went to a moving picture theater to meet a friend while waiting I stood near a young boy selling programs he called to people passing buy a complete program

of the picture containing photographs of the actors and a sketch of their lives most people pass by without buying to my great surprise he suddenly turned to me and said say this ain't no racket for a guy with ambition then he gave a discourse on success he said most people give up just before something big is coming to them a successful man never gives up of course I was interested and said I'll bring you a book the next time I come it is called The Game of Life and how to play it you will agree

with a lot of the ideas a week or two later I went back with the book the girl at the ticket office said to him let me read it Eddie while you were selling programs the man who took tickets leaned over to see what it was about the game of life always gets people's interest I returned to the theater in about 3 weeks Eddie had gone he had expanded into a new job that he liked his wall of Jericho had crumbled he had refused to be discouraged only twice is the word success mentioned in the

bible both times in the Book of Joshua only be strong and very courageous to observe to do according to all the law which Moses my servant commanded thee turn not from it to the right nor to the left that thou mayest have good success withersoever thou goest this book of the law shall not depart from my mouth but Thou shalt meditate therein day and night that thou mayest observe to do all that is written therein for then shalt thou make thy way prosperous and thou shalt have good success turn not not to the right nor

to the left the road to success is a straight and narrow path it is a road of loving absorption of undivided attention you attract the things you give a great deal of thought to so if you give a great deal of thought to lack you attract lack if you give a great deal of thought to Injustice you attract more Injustice Joshua said and it shall come to pass that when they make a long blast with the Ram's Horn and when ye hear the sound of the trumpet all the people shall Shout with a great shout

and the wall of the city shall fall down flat and the people shall Ascend up every man straight before him the inner meaning of this story is the power of the word your word which dissolves obstacles and removes barriers when the people shouted the walls fell down we find in folklore and fairy stories which come down from Legends founded on truth the same idea a word opens a door or Cleaves a rock we have it again in the Arabian Night story Alibaba and the 40 thieves I saw it made into a moving picture Alibaba has

a secret hiding place hidden somewhere behind rocks and mountains the entrance may only be gained by speaking a secret word it is open sesame Alibaba faces the mountain and cries open sesame and the Rocks slide apart it is very inspiring for it gives you the realization of how your own rocks and barriers will part at the right word so let us now take the statement the walls of lack And Delay now crumble away and I enter my promised land under grace chapter 2 bricks without straw there shall no straw be given you yet ye shall

make bricks without straw Exodus 5: 18 in the fifth chapter of Exodus we have a picture of everyday life when giving a metaphysical interpretation the children of Israel were in bondage to Pharaoh the cruel Taskmaster ruler of Egypt they were kept in slavery making bricks and were hated and despised Moses had orders from the Lord to deliver his people from bondage Moses and Aaron went in and told pharaoh thus saith the Lord God of Israel let my people go that they may hold a feast unto me in the wilderness he not only refused to let

them go but told them he would make their tasks even more difficult they must make bricks without straw being provided for them and the taskmasters of the people went out and their officers and they spake to the people saying thus saith Pharaoh I will not give you straw go ye get you straw where ye can find it yet not ought of your work shall be diminished it was impossible to make bricks without straw the children of Israel were completely crushed by Pharaoh they were beaten for not producing the bricks then came the message from Jehova

go therefore now and work for there shall no straw be given you yet shall ye deliver the tail number of bricks working with spiritual law they could make bricks without straw which means to accomplish the seemingly impossible how often in life people are confronted with this situation Agnes M Lawson in her hints to Bible students says the life in Egypt under foreign oppression is the symbol of man under the hard taskmasters of destructive thinking Pride fear resentment ill will Etc the Deliverance under Moses is the freedom man gains from the taskmasters as he learns the

law law of life for we can never come under grace except we first know the law the law must be made known in order to be fulfilled in the 111th Psalm we read in the final verse the fear of the Lord law is the beginning of wisdom a good understanding have all they that do his Commandments his praise endureth forever now if we read the word Lord law it will give us the key to the statement the fear of the law karmic law is the beginning of wisdom not the fear of the Lord when we

know that whatever we send out comes back we begin to be afraid of our own boomerangs I read in a medical journal the following facts telling of the boomerang this great Pharaoh received it would appear that flesh is indeed air to a long and ancient line of ills when as was revealed by Lord Monahan at a lecture at Le that the Pharaoh of the oppression suffered from hardening of the heart in a literal sense Lord Monahan showed some remarkable photographic slides of results of surgical operations a thousand years before Christ and among these was a

slide of the actual anatomical remains of the Pharaoh of the oppression the large vessel springing from the heart was in such a well-preserved state as to enable sections of it to be made and compared with those made recently from the lantern slide it was impossible to distinguish between the ancient and modern vessel both Hearts had been attacked by aoma a condition in which calcium salts are deposited in the walls of the vessel making it rigid and inelastic inadequate expanse to the stream of blood from the heart caused the vessel to give way with this condition

when the mental changes that occur with a rigid arterial system a narrowness of Outlook restriction and Dread of Enterprise a l hardening of the heart so Pharaoh's Hardness of Heart hardened his own heart this is as true today as it was several thousand years ago we are all coming out of the land of Egypt out of the house of bondage your doubts and fears keep you in slavery you face a situation which seems hopeless what can you do it is a case of making bricks without straw but remember the words of Jehovah go therefore now

and work for there shall no straw be given you yet shall ye deliver the tail number of bricks you shall make bricks without straw God makes a way where there is no way I was told the story of a woman who needed money for her rent it was necessary to have it at once she knew of no Channel she had exhausted every Avenue however she was a truth student and kept making her affirmations her dog whined and wanted to go go out she put on his leash and walked down the street in the accustomed Direction

however the dog pulled at his leash and wanted to go in another Direction she followed and in the middle of the block opposite an open Park she looked down and picked up a roll of bills which exactly covered her rent she looked for ads but never found the owner there were no houses near where she found it the reasoning mind the intellect takes the Throne of pharaoh in your consciousness it says continually it can't be done what's the use we must drown out these dreary suggestions with a vital affirmation for example take this statement the

unexpected happens my seemingly impossible good now comes to pass this stops all argument from the army of the aliens the reasoning mind the unexpected happens that is an idea it cannot cope with thou Hast made me wiser than mine enemies your enemy thoughts your doubts fears and apprehensions think of the joy of really being free forever from the Pharaoh of the oppression to have the idea of security health happiness and abundance established in the subconscious it would mean a life free from all limitation it would be the kingdom which Jesus Christ spoke of where all

things are automatically added unto us I say automat atically added unto us because all life is vibration and when we vibrate to success happiness and abundance the things which symbolize these states of Consciousness will attach themselves to us feel rich and successful and suddenly you receive a large check or a beautiful gift I tell the story showing the working of this law I went to a party where people played games and whoever won received a gift the prize was a beautiful fan among those present was a very rich woman who had everything her name was

Clara the poorer and resentful ones got together and whispered we hope Clara doesn't get the fan of course Clara won the fan she was carefree and vibrating to abundance envy and resentment short circuit your good and keep away your fans if you should happen to be resentful and envious take the statement what God has done for others he now does for me and more then all the fans and things will come your way no man gives to himself but himself and no man takes away from himself but himself the game of life is a game

of solitire as you change all conditions will change now to go back to Pharaoh the oppressor no one loves an oppressor I remember a friend I had many years ago her name was Ley her father had plenty of money money and supplied her mother and herself with food and clothes but no luxuries we went to art school together and all the students would buy reproductions of the winged victory whistler's mother or something to bring art into their homes my friend's father called all these things plunder he would say don't bring home any plunder so she

lived a colorless life without a winged victory on her Bureau or whistler's mother on the wall he would say often to my friend and her mother when I die you'll both be well off one day someone said to lety when are you going abroad all art students went abroad she replied cheerfully not till Papa dies so people always look forward to being free from lack and oppression let us now free ourselves from the tyrants of negative thinking we have been slaves to doubts fears and apprehension and let us be delivered as Moses delivered the children

of Israel and and come out of the land of Egypt out of the house of bondage find the thought which is your great oppressor find the Kingpin in the logging camps in the spring the logs are sent down the rivers in great numbers sometimes the logs become crossed and cause a jam the men look for the log causing the jam they call it the Kingpin straighten it and the logs Rush down the river again maybe your Kingpin is resentment resent holds back your good the more you resent the more you will have to resent you

grow a resentment track in your brain and your expression will be one of Habitual resentment you will be avoided and missed the golden opportunities which await you each day I remember a few years ago the streets were filled with men selling apples they got up early to get the good Corners I passed one several times on Park Avenue he had the most disagreeable expression I have ever seen as people passed he said apples apples but no one stopped to buy I invested in an apple and said you'll never sell apples unless you change your expression

he replied well that guy over there took my corner I said never mind about the corner you can sell apples right here if you look Pleasant he said okay lady and I went on the next day I saw him his whole expression had changed he was doing a big business selling apples with a smile so find your kingpin You may have more than one and your logs of success happiness and abundance will go rushing down your River go therefore now and work for there shall no straw be given you yet ye shall make bricks without

straw chapter three and five of them were wise and five of them were wise and five were foolish they that were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them Matthew 25: 2 and 3 my subject is the parable of the wise and the foolish virgins and five of them were wise and five were foolish they that were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps the parable teach teaches that true prayer means preparation Jesus Christ said and all things whatsoever ye

shall ask in prayer believing ye shall receive Matthew 21:22 therefore I say unto you what things soever ye desire when ye pray believe that ye receive them and ye shall have them Mark 11: 24 in this Parable he shows that only those who have prepared for their good thereby showing Act of Faith will bring the manifestation to pass we might paraphrase the scriptures and say when ye pray believe ye have it when ye pray act as if you have already received armchair Faith or rocking chair faith will never move mountains in the armchair in the

silence or meditation you are filled with the Wonder of this truth and feel that your faith will never waver you you know that the Lord is your Shepherd you shall never want you feel that your god of Plenty will wipe out all burdens of debt or limitations then you leave your armchair and step out into the arena of life it is only what you do in the arena that counts I will give you an illustration showing how the law works for faith without action is dead a man one of my students had a great desire

to go abroad he took the statement I give give thanks for my divinely designed trip divinely financed under grace in a perfect way he had very little money but knowing the law of preparation he bought a trunk it was a very gay and happy trunk with a big red band around its waist whenever he looked at it it gave him a realization of a trip one day he seemed to feel his room moving he felt the motion of a ship he went to the window to breathe the fresh air and it smelt like the aroma

of the docks with his inner ear he heard the shriek of a seagull and the creaking of the Gangplank the trunk had commenced to work it had put him in the vibration of his trip soon after that a large sum of money came to him and he took the trip he said afterwards that it was perfect in every detail in the arena of life we must keep ourselves tuned up to concert pitch are we acting from motive of fear or faith watch your motives with all diligence for out of them are the issues of life

if your problem is a financial one and it usually is you must know how to wind yourself up financially and keep wound up by always acting your faith the material attitude towards money is to trust in your salary your income and Investments which can shrink overnight the spiritual attitude toward money is to trust trust in God for your supply to keep your possessions always realize that they are God in manifestation what Allah has given cannot be diminished then if one door shuts another door immediately opens never voice lack or limitation for by your words you

are condemned you combine with what you notice and if you are always noticing failure and hard times you will combine with failure and hard times you must form the Abit of living in the fourth dimension the world of the wondrous it is the world where you do not judge by appearances you have trained your inner eye to see through failure into success to see through sickness into Health to see through limitation into plenty I will give you the land which your inner eye sees I will give to you the land which thou seeth the man

who achieves success has the fixed idea of success if if it is founded on a rock of Truth and rightness it will stand if not it is built upon sand and washed into the sea returning to its native nothingness only Divine ideas can endure evil destroys itself for it is a crosscurrent against Universal order and the way of the transgressor is hard they that were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps the lamp symbolizes man's Consciousness the oil is what brings light

or understanding while the bridegroom carried they all slumbered and slept and at midnight there was a cry made behold the bridegroom cometh go ye out to meet him then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps and the foolish said unto the wise give us your oil for our lamps are gone out the the foolish virgins were without wisdom or understanding which is oil for the Consciousness and when they were confronted with a serious situation they had no way of handling it and when they said to the wise give us your oil the wise answered

saying not so lest there be not enough for us and you but go ye rather to them that sell and buy for yourselves that means that the foolish virgins could not receive more than was in their consciousness or what they were vibrating to the man received the trip because it was in his Consciousness as a reality he believed that he had already received as he prepared for the trip he was taking oil from his lamps with realization comes manifestation the law of preparation works both ways if you prepare for what you fear or don't want

you begin to attract it David said the thing I feared is come upon me we hear people say I must put away money in case of illness they are deliberately preparing to be ill or I'm saving for a rainy day the rainy day is sure to come at a most inconvenient time the Divine idea for every man is plenty your barns should be full and your cup should flow over but we must learn to ask a right for example take this statement I call on the law of ACC accumulation my Supply comes from God and

now pours in and piles up under grace this statement does not give any picture of stint or saving or sickness it gives a fourth-dimensional feeling of abundance leaving the channels to infinite intelligence every day you must make a choice will you be wise or foolish will you prepare for your good will you take the giant swing into Faith or serve doubt and fear and bring no oil for your lamps and while they went to buy the bridegroom came and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage and the door was shut afterward

came also the other virgins saying Lord Lord open to us but he answered and said verily I say unto you I know you not you may feel that the foolish virgins paid very dearly for neglecting to bring oil for their lamps but we are dealing with the law of karma or the law of come back it has been called the Judgment Day which people usually associate with the end of the world your judgment day comes they say in sevens seven hours Seven Days 7 weeks 7 months or 7 years it might even come in s

minutes then you pay some karmic debt the price for having violated spiritual law you fail to trust God you took no oil for your lamps every day examine your Consciousness and see just what you are preparing for you are fearful of lack and hang on to every scent thereby attracting more lack use what you have with wisdom and it opens the way for more to come to you in my book your word is your wand I tell about the magic purse in the Arabian Nights they tell the story of a man who had a magic

purse as money went went out immediately money appeared in it again so I made the statement my Supply comes from God I have the magic purse of the spirit it can never be depleted as money goes out immediately money comes in it is always crammed jammed with abundance under grace in perfect ways this brings a vivid picture to mind you are drawing on the bank of the imagination a woman who did not have much money was afraid to pay any bills and see her bank account dwindle it came to her with great conviction I have

the magic purse of the spirit it can never be depleted as money goes out immediately money comes in she fearlessly paid her bills and several large checks came to her that she did not expect Watch and Pray lest ye enter into the temptation of preparing for something destructive instead of something constructive Ive I knew a woman who told me she always kept a long crepe Veil handy in case of funerals I said to her you are a menace to your relatives and are preparing to hurry them all off so that you can wear the veil

she destroyed it another woman who had no money decided to send her two daughters to college her husband scorned the idea and said who will pay their tuition I have no money for it she replied I know some unforeseen good will come to us she kept on preparing her daughters for college her husband laughed heartily and told all their friends that his wife was sending the girls to college on some unforeseen good a rich relative suddenly sent her a large sum of money some unforeseen good did arrive for she had shown active faith I asked

what she had said to her husband when the check arrived she replied oh I never antagonized George by telling him I am in the right so prepare for your unforeseen good let every thought and Every Act express your unwavering Faith every event in your life is a crystallized idea something you have invited through either fear or faith something you have prepared for so let us be wise and bring oil for our lamps and when we least expected we shall reap the fruits of our faith my lamps are now filled with the oil of faith and

fulfillment chapter 4 what do you expect according to your faith be it unto you Matthew 9: 29 faith is expectancy according to your faith be it unto you we might say according to your expectancies be it done unto you so what are you expecting we hear people say we expect expect the worst to happen or the worst is yet to come they are deliberately inviting the worst to come we hear others say I expect a change for the better they are inviting better conditions into their lives change your expectancies and you change your conditions how

can you change your expectancies when you have formed the habit of expecting loss lack or failure begin to act as if you expected success happiness and abundance prepare for your good do something to show you expect it to come active faith alone will impress the subconscious if you have spoken the word for a home prepare for it immediately as if you hadn't a moment to lose collect little ornaments tablecloths etc etc I knew a woman who made the giant swing into Faith by buying a large armchair a chair meant business she bought a large and

comfortable chair for She Was preparing for the right man he came someone will say suppose you haven't money to buy ornaments or a chair then look in shop windows and Link with them in thought get in their vibration I sometimes hear people say I don't go into the shops because I can't afford to buy anything that is just the reason you should go into the shops begin to make friends with the things you desire or require I know a woman who wanted a ring she went boldly to the ring department and tried on rings it

gave her such a realization of ownership that not long after a friend made her a gift of a ring you combine with what you notice keep on noticing beautiful things and you make an invisible contact sooner or later these things are drawn into your life unless you say poor me too good to be true my soul wait thou only upon God for my expectation is from him this is a most important statement from the 62nd Psalm the soul is the subconscious mind and the psalmist was telling his subconscious to expect everything directly from the universal

not to depend upon doors and channels my expectation is from him God cannot fail for his ways are ingenious his methods are sure you can expect any seemingly impossible good from God if you do not limit the channels do not say how you want it done or how it can't be done God is the giver and the gift and creates his own amazing channels take the following statement I cannot be separated from God the giver therefore I cannot be separated from God the gift the gift is God in action get the realiz ation that every

blessing is good in action and see God in every face and good in every situation this makes you master of all conditions a woman came to me saying that there was no heat in the radiators in their apartment and that her mother was suffering from the cold she added the landlord has declared that we can't have heat until a certain date I replied God is your landlord she said that's all I want to know and Rush out that evening the heat was turned on without asking it was because she realized that the landlord was God

in manifestation this is a wonderful age for people are becoming miracl minded it is in the air quoting from an article which I found in the New York Journal and American by John Anderson it corroborates what I have just said the title of the article is theatergoers make hits of metaphysical plays if said a cynical manager who shall be called Brock pton with a slight accent of sarcasm in his voice the other night on an intermission curbside talk you fellows meaning the critics know so much about what the New York public wants why don't you

tell me what to produce why don't you run me into business instead of out of it why don't you tell me what sort of play the playgoers want to see I would I said but you wouldn't believe it you're hedging he said you don't know and you're trying to cover up by pretending to know more than you're willing to say you haven't any more idea than I have this minute what sort of plays generally succeed I have I said there is one Surefire success one theme that works and has always worked whether it is competing

with Boy Meets Girl Mysteries historical tragedies Etc no play on the theme has ever completely failed if it had any Merit at all and a lot of poor ones have been big hits you're stalling again said Mr pton what sort of plays are they metaphysical I said fowling slightly with a big word and waiting quietly for the effect metaphysical said Mr pton you mean metaphysical I paused a moment and since Mr pton said nothing went right on spouting such titles as the Green Pastures the star wagon father Malachi's Miracle Etc some of these I added

reached the public over the heads of the critic but Mr pton had departed to ask probably in every theater in town is there a metaphysician in the house people are beginning to realize the power of their words and thoughts they understand why faith is the substance of the thing hoped for the evidence of Things Not Seen we see the law of expectancy working out through Superstition if you walk under a ladder and expect it to give you bad luck it will give you bad luck the ladder is is quite innocent Bad Luck came because you

expected it we might say expectancy is the substance of the things hoped for or expectancy is the substance of the thing man fears the thing I expected has come upon me nothing is too good to be true nothing is too wonderful to happen nothing is too good to last when you look to God for your good now think of the blessings which seem so far off and begin to expect them now under grace in an unexpected way for God works in unexpected ways his wonders to perform I was told that there are 3,000 promises in

the bible let us now expect all these blessings to come to pass among them we are promised riches and honor Eternal youth your flesh shall become as a little child's and eternal life death itself shall be overcome Christianity is founded upon the Forgiveness of sins and an empty tomb we now know that all these things are scientifically possible as we call on the law of forgiveness we become free from mistakes and the consequences of mistakes though your sins be as Scarlet ye shall be washed whiter than wool then our bodies will be bathed in light

and express the Body Electric which is Incorruptible and indest destructible pure substance expressing Perfection I expect the unexpected my glorious good now comes to pass chapter five the long arm of God the Eternal God Is Thy refuge and underneath are the Everlasting Arms Deuteronomy 33: 27 in the Bible the arm of God always symbolizes protection the writers of the Bible knew the power of a symbol it brings a picture which impresses the subconscious mind they use the symbols of the rock sheep Shepherds Vineyard lamp and hundreds of others it would be interesting to know how

many symbols are used in the Bible the arm also symbolizes strength the Eternal God Is Thy refuge and underneath are the Everlasting Arms and he shall Thrust out the enemy from before thee and shall say destroy them who is the enemy before Thee the negative thought forms which you have built up in your subconscious mind a Man's enemies are only those of his own household the Everlasting Arms Thrust out these enemy thoughts and Destroy them have you ever felt the relief of getting out some negative thought form perhaps you have built up a thought form

of resentment until you are always boiling with anger about something you resent people you know people you don't know people in the past and people in the present and you may be sure that the people in the future won't Escape your wrath all the organs of the body are affected by resentment for when you resent you resent with every organ of the body you pay the penalty with rheumatism arthritis neuritis etc for acid thoughts produce acid in the blood all this trouble comes because you are fighting the battle not leaving it to the long arm

of God I have given the following statement to many of my students the long arm of God reaches out over people and conditions controlling this situation and protecting my interests this brings a picture of a long arm symbolizing strength and protection with the realization of the power of the long arm of God you would no longer resist or resent you would relax and let go the enemy thoughts within you would be destroyed therefore the adverse conditions would disappear Spiritual Development means the ability to stand still or stand aside and let infinite intelligence lift your burdens

and fight your battles when the burden of resentment is lifted you experience a sense of relief you have a kindly feeling for everyone and all the organs of your body begin to function properly a clipping quoting Albert Edward day DD reads that loving our enemies is good for our spiritual health is widely known and accepted but that negation and poisonous emotions destroy physical health is a relatively new discovery the problem of health is often an emotional one wrong emotions entertained and repeated are potent causes of illness when the preacher talks about loving your enemies the

man on the street is apt to dismiss the idea is unendurable and Pious but the fact is the preacher is telling you something which is one of the first laws of hygiene as well as ethics no man even for his body's sake can afford to indulge in hatred it is like repeated doses of poison when you are urged to get rid of fear you are not listening to a Moonstruck idealist rather you are hearing counsel that is as significant for health as advice about diet we hear so much about a balanced diet but without a

balanced mind you can't digest what you eat calories or no calories non-resistance is an art when acquired the world is yours so many people are trying to force situations your lasting good will never come through forcing personal will flee from the things which flee from thee seek nothing Fortune seeketh thee behold his shadow on the floor Behold Him standing at the door I do not know the author of these lines love loock the celebrated English athlete was asked how to attain his speed and endurance in running he replied learn to relax let us attain this

Rest In Action he was most relaxed when running the fastest your big opportunity and big success usually slide in when you least expect it you have to let go long enough for the great law of attraction to operate you never saw a worried and anxious magnet it stands up straight and hasn't a care in the world because it knows the needles can't help jumping to it the things we rightly desire come to pass when we have taken the clutch off I say in my correspondence course do not let your heart's desire become a heart's disease

you are completely demagnetized when you desire something too intensely you worry fear and agonize there is an occult law of indifference none of these things move me your ships come in over a don't care see many people in truth antagonize friends because they are too anxious for them to read the books and go to the lectures they meet opposition a friend took my book The Game of Life and how to play it to her brother's house to read the young men of the family refuse to read it no nut stuff for them one of these

young men drives a taxi cab one night he drove a taxi which belonged to another man in going over the car he found a book stuffed away somewhere it was the game of life and how to play it the next day he said to his aunt I found Mrs Shin's book in the taxi last night I read it and it's great there's a lot of good reading in it why doesn't she write another book God works in roundabout ways his wonders to perform I meet unhappy people and a few great and contented people a man

said to me one day I have a great deal to be thankful for I have good health enough money and I'm still single the 89th Psalm is very interesting for we find that two individuals take part the man who sings the psalm for all Psalms are songs or poems and the Lord God of hosts answers him it is a song of praise and thanksgiving extoling the strong arm of God I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever oh Lord God of hosts who is a strong Lord like unto thee thou Hast a mighty

arm strong is thy hand and high is thy right hand then the Lord of hosts replies with whom my hand shall be established mine arm also shall strengthen him my Mercy will I keep for him forever more and my Covenant shall stand fast with him we only hear the word words forever more in the Bible and in fairy tales in the absolute man is outside of time and space his good is from Everlasting to Everlasting the fairy tales came down from the old Persian Legends which were founded upon truth Aladdin and his wonderful lamp is

the outp picturing of the word Aladdin rubbed the lamp and all his desires came to pass your word is your lamp words and thoughts are a form of radi activity and do not return void a scientist has said that words are clothed in light you are continually reaping the fruits of your words a friend in one of my meetings said that she had brought a man to my class who had been out of work for a year or more I gave the statement now is the appointed time today is the day of my amazing Good

Fortune it clicked in his Consciousness soon after he was given a position which paid him $99,000 a year a woman told me that when I blessed the offering I said that each offering would return a thousandfold she had put a dollar in the collection she said with great realization that dollar is blessed and returns ,000 she received $1,000 a short time afterwards in a most unexpected way why do some people demonstrate this truth so much more quickly than others it is because they have the ear ears that hear Jesus Christ tells the parable of the

man who swed the seed and it fell upon good ground the seed is the word I say listen for the statement that clicks the statement that gives you realization that statement will bear fruit the other day I went into a shop where I know the employer quite well I had given one of his employees an affirmation card I said to him jokingly I wouldn't waste an affirmation card on you you wouldn't use it he replied oh sure give me one I'll use it the following week I gave him a card before I left he rushed

up to me excitedly and said I made that statement and two new customers walked in it was now is the appointed time today is the day of my amazing Good Fortune it had clicked so many people use their words in exaggerated and Reckless statements I find a great deal of material for my talks in the beauty parlor a young girl wanted a magazine to read she called to the operator give me something terribly new and frightfully exciting all she wanted was the latest moving picture magazine you hear people say I wish something terribly exciting would

happen they are inviting some unhappy but exciting experience into their lives then they wonder why it happened to them there should be a chair of metaphysics in all colleges metaphysics is the wisdom of the ages it is the ancient wisdom taught all through the centuries in India and Egypt and Greece Hermes trism magistus was a great teacher of Egypt his teachings were closely guarded and have come down to us over 10 centuries he lived in Egypt in the days when the present race of men was in its infancy but if you read the cabalan carefully

you will find that he taught just what we are teaching today he said that all mental states were accompanied by vibrations you combine with what you vibrate to so let us all now vibrate to success happiness and abundance now is the appointed time today is the day of my amazing Good Fortune chapter 6 the fork in the road choose this day whom ye will serve Joshua CH 24 verse 15 every day there is a necessity of choice a for in the road shall I do this or shall I do that shall I go or shall

I stay many people do not know what to do they Rush about letting other people make decisions for them then regret having taken their advice there are others who carefully reason things out they weigh and measure the situation like dealing in groceries and are surprised when they fail to attain their goal there are still other people who follow the magic path of intuition and finds elves in their promised land in the twinkling of an eye intuition is a spiritual faculty high above the reasoning mind but on that path is all that you desire or require

in my book The Game of Life and how to play it I give many examples of Success attained Through using this marvelous faculty I say also that prayer is telephoning to God and intuition is God telephoning to you correspondence course so choose ye this day to follow the magic path of intuition in my question and answer classes I tell you how to cultivate intuition in most people it is a faculty which has remained dormant so we say awake thou that sleepeth wake up to your leads and hunches wake up to the Divinity within Claude bragon

said to live intuitively is to live fourth dimensionally now it is is necessary for you to make a decision you face a fork in the road ask for a definite unmistakable lead and you will receive it we find many events to interpret metaphysically in the Book of Joshua after the death of Moses the Divine command came to Joshua now therefore arise go over the Jordan thou and all thy people unto the land which I do give to them every place the so of your feet shall tread upon to you have I given it the feet

are the symbol of understanding so it means metaphysically all that we understand stands under us in Consciousness and what is rooted there can never be taken from us for the Bible goes on to say there shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life I will not fail thee nor forsake thee only be thou strong and very courageous that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law which Moses my servant commanded thee turn not from it to the right hand or to the left that thou mayest

Prosper withersoever thou goest so we find we have Success Through being strong and very courageous in following spiritual law we are back again to the fork in the road the necessity of choice choose you this day whom you will serve the intellect or Divine guidance a well-known man who has become a great power in the financial World said to a friend I always follow intuition and I am luck incarnate inspiration which is divine guidance is the most important thing in life people come to truth meetings for inspiration I find the right word will start Divine

activity operating in their Affairs a woman came to me with a complication of Affairs I said to her let God juggle the situation it clicked she took the affirmation I now let God juggle this situation almost immediately she rented a house which had been vacant for a long time let God juggle every situation for when you try to juggle the situation you drop all the balls in my question and answer classes I would be asked how do you let God juggle a situ sitation and what do you mean when you say I should not juggle

it you juggle with the intellect the intellect would say times are hard no activity in real estate don't expect anything until the fall of 1958 with spiritual law there is only the now before you call you are answered for time and space are but a dream and your blessing is there waiting for you to release it by faith and the word choose you this day whom will serve fear or faith in Every Act prompted by fear lies The Germ of its own defeat it takes much strength and courage to trust God we often trust him

in little things but when it comes to a big situation we feel we had better attend to it ourselves then comes defeat and failure the following extract from a letter which I received from a woman in the west shows how conditions can change in the twinkling of an eye I've had the pleasure of reading your wonderful book The Game of Life and how to play it I have four boys 10 13 15 and 17 and thought how wonderful for them to grasp it in their early life and be able to get things which are theirs

by Divine Right the lady who let me read her copy gave me other things to read but it seemed when I picked this book up it was magnetic and I could not let go of it after reading it I realized I was trying to live divine ly but did not understand the law or I would have been much further Advanced at first I thought it quite hard to find a place in the business world after so many years of being a mother but I got this statement God makes a way where there is no way

and he did that very thing for me I am grateful for my position and smile when people say how do you do it manage four growing boys a home after all the times you have been hospitalized with such major operations and none of your relatives near you I have that statement in my book God makes a way where there is no way God made a way for her in business when all her friends said it couldn't be done the average person will tell you almost anything can't be done I had an example of this the

other day in a shop I found a delightful little silver dilator which would make just one cup of anything I showed it to some friends with enthusiasm thinking it's so very cute and and one said it will never work the other said if it belonged to me I throw it away I stood up for the little dri aater and Saidi I knew it would work which it did my friends were simply typical of the average person who says it can't be done all Big Ideas meet with opposition do not let other people rock your boat

follow the path of wisdom and understanding and turn not from it to the right hand or to the left that thou mayest Prosper withersoever thou goest in the 13th verse of the 24th chapter of Joshua we read a remarkable statement and I have given you a land for which ye did not labor and cities which ye built not and ye dwell in them of The Vineyards and Olive yards which he planted not do ye eat this shows that man cannot earn anything His blessings come as gifts gifts lest any man shall boast with the realization

of wealth we receive the gift of wealth with the realization of success we receive the gift of success for success and abundance are states of mind for it is the Lord Our God he it is that brought us up and our fathers out of the land of Egypt out of the house of bondage the land of Egypt stands for Darkness the house of bondage where man is a slave to his doubt and fears and beliefs in lack and limitation the result of having followed the wrong fork in the road Misfortune is due to failure to

stick to the things which Spirit has revealed through intuition all big things have been accomplished by men who stuck to their big Ideas Henry Ford was past middle AG when the idea of the Ford car came to him he had great difficulty in raising the money his friends thought it was a crazy idea his father said to him tearfully Henry why do you give up a good $25 a week job in order to chase a crazy idea but no one could Rock Henry Ford's boat so in order to come out of the land of Egypt

out of the house of bondage we must make the right decisions follow the right fork in the road only be thou strong and very courageous that thou mayest observe to do according to the law which Moses my servant commanded thee turn not from it to the right hand nor to the left that thou mayest Prosper withersoever thou goest so as we reach the fork in the road today let us fearlessly follow the voice of intuition the Bible calls it the still Small Voice there came a voice behind me saying this is the way walk ye

in it on this path is the good already prepared for you you will will find the land for which ye did not labor and cities which ye built not and ye dwell in them of The Vineyards and Olive yards which ye planted not do ye eat I am divinely LED I follow the right fork in the road God makes a way where there is no way chapter 7 crossing your Red Sea speak unto the children of Israel that they go forward Exodus 14:1 15 one of the most dramatic stories in the Bible is the episode

of the children of Israel crossing the Red Sea Moses was leading them out of the land of Egypt where they were kept in bondage and slavery they were being pursued by the Egyptians the children of Israel like most people did not enjoy trusting God they did a lot of murmuring they said to Moses is not this the word that we did tell thee in Egypt saying let us alone that we may serve the Egyptians for it had been better for us to serve the Egyptians than that we should die in the wilderness and Moses said

unto the people fear ye not stand still and see the salvation of the Lord which he will show to you today for the Egyptians whom ye have seen today ye shall see them again no more forever the Lord shall fight for you and ye shall hold your peace we might say that Moses pounded faith faith into the children of Israel they preferred being slaves to their old doubts and fears than to take the giant swing into faith and pass through the Wilderness to their Promised Land There is indeed a Wilderness to pass through before your

promised land is reached the old doubts and fears encamp round about you but there is always someone to tell you to go forward there is always a Moses on your pathway sometimes it is a friend sometimes in intuition and the Lord said to Moses wherefore criest thou unto me speak unto the children of Israel that they go forward but lift thou up thy rod and stretch out thine hand over the sea and divide it and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea and Moses stretched out his hand

over the sea and the Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong East Wind all that night night and made the sea dry land and the waters were divided and the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand and on their left and the Egyptians pursued and went in after them to the midst of the sea even all Pharaoh's horses his chariots and his Horsemen and the Lord said unto Moses stretch out thine hand over the

sea that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians upon their chariots and upon their Horsemen and Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea and the Sea returned and the Egyptians fled against it and the Lord overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the Sea and the waters returned and covered the Chariots and the horsemen and all the hosts of pharaoh that came into the sea after them there remained not so much as one of them now remember the Bible is talking about the individual it is talking about your Wilderness your Red Sea and

your Promised Land each one of you has a Promised Land a heart's desire but you have been so enslaved by the Egyptians your negative thoughts it seems very far away and too good to be true you consider trusting God a very risky proposition the Wilderness might prove worse than the Egyptians and how do you know your Promised Land really exists the reasoning mind will always back up the Egyptians but sooner or later something says go forward it is usually circumstances you are driven to it I give the example of a student she is a very

marvelous pianist and had great success abroad she came back with a book full of press clippings and a happy heart a relative took an interest in her and said she would back her financially for a concert tour they chose a manager who took charge of the expenses and attended to her bookings after a concert or two there were no more funds the manager had taken them my friend was left stranded desolate and disappointed this was about the time that she came to me she hated the man and it was making her ill she had very

little money and could afford only a cheerless room where her hands were often too cold to practice she was indeed in bondage to the Egyptians hate resentment lack and limitation someone brought her to one of my meetings and she spoke to me and told her story I said in the first place you must stop hating that man when you are able to forgive him your success will come back to you you are taking your initiation in forgiveness it seemed a pretty big order but she tried and came regularly to all my meetings in the meantime

the relative had started a suit to recover the money time went on and it never came to court my friend had a call to go to California she was no longer disturbed by the situation and had forgiven the man suddenly after about 4 years she was notified that the case had come to court she called me upon her arrival in New York and asked me to speak the word for rightness and Justice they went at the time appointed and it was all settled out of court the man restoring the money by monthly payments she came

to me overflowing with joy for she said I hadn't the least resentment toward the man he was amazed when I greeted him cordially her relatives said that all the money was to go to her so she found herself with a big bank account now she will soon reach her Promised Land she came out of the house of bondage of hate and resentment and crossed her Red Sea her good will toward the man caused the waters to part and she crossed over on dry land dry land symbolizes something substantial under your feet the feet symbolizing understanding

Moses stands out as one of the greatest figures in Biblical history it came to Moses to move from Egypt with his Nation the task before him was not only the unwillingness of pharaoh to let go of Those whom he had made into profitable slaves but also to stimulate to open Rebellion this nation which had lost its initiative under the hardships of its task Masters it required extraordinary genius to meet this condition which Moses possessed with self-abnegation and the courage of his own convictions self-abnegation he was called the meest of men we have often heard the

expression as Meek as Moses he was so Meek towards the commands of the Lord that he became one of the strongest of men the Lord said to Moses lift thou up thy rod and stretch out thine hand over the sea and divide it and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea so never doubting he said to the children of Israel go forward this was a daring thing to do to lead a multitude of people into the sea having perfect Faith they would not drown behold the miracle the

Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong East Wind all that night and made the sea dry land and the waters were divided now remember this could happen for you this very day think of your problem maybe you have lost your initiative from living so long a slave to Pharaoh your doubts fears and discouragements say to yourself go forward the Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong East Wind we will think of this strong East Wind as a strong affirmation take a vital statement of Truth for example if your problem

is a financial one say my Supply comes from God and big happy Financial surprises now come to me under grace in perfect ways the statement is a good one for it contains the element of mystery we are told that God works in mysterious ways his wonders to perform we might say in surprising ways now that you have made your statement for Supply you you have caused the East Wind to blow so walk up to your Red Sea of lack or limitation the way to walk up to your Red Sea is to do something to show

your fearlessness I will tell the story of a student who had an invitation to visit friends at a very fashionable summer Resort she had been living in the country for a long time grown heavier and nothing fitted her but her Girl Scout suit suddenly she received the invitation it meant evening clothes slippers and accessories none of which she had and no money to buy them she came to me I said what is your hunch she replied I feel very Fearless I have the hunch to go anyway so she squeezed herself into something to travel in

and went when she arrived at her friend's house she was greeted warmly but her Hostess said with some embarrassment maybe what I've done will hurt you but there are some evening clothes and slippers I never wear which I have put in your room won't you make use of them my friend assured her she would be delighted and everything fitted perfectly she had indeed walked up to her Red Sea and passed over on dry land the Waters of my Red Sea part and I pass over on dry land I now go forward into my Promised Land

chapter 8 The Watchman at the gate also I set Watchmen over you saying hearken to the sound of the trumpet Jeremiah 6:1 17 we must all have a Watchman at the Gate of our thoughts The Watchman at the gate is the superconscious mind we have the power to choose our thoughts since we have lived in the race thought for thousands of years it seems almost impossible to control them they rush through our minds like stampeding cattle or sheep but a single sheep dog can control the frightened sheep and guide them into the Sheep pen I

saw a picture in the news reels of a sheep dog controlling the Sheep he had rounded up all but three these three resisted and resented they bed and lifted their front feet in protest but the dog simply sat down in front and never took his eyes off them he did not bark or threaten he just sat and looked his determination in a little while the Sheep lost their heads and went in the pen we can learn to control our thoughts in the same way by gentle determination not force we take an affirmation and repeat it

continually while our thoughts are on the Rampage we cannot always control our thoughts but we can control our words and repetition impresses the subconscious and we are then Master of the situation in the sixth chapter of Jeremiah we read I set a Watchman over you saying saying hearken to the sound of the trumpet your success and happiness in life depend upon the Watchman at the Gate of your thoughts for your thoughts sooner or later crystallize on the external people think by running away from a negative situation they will be rid of it but the same

situation confronts them wherever they go they will meet the same experiences until they have learned their lessons this idea is brought out in the moving picture The Wizard of Oz the little girl Dorothy is very unhappy because the mean woman in the village wants to take away her dog Toto she goes in despair to confide in her aunt M and Uncle Henry but they are too busy to listen and tell her to run along she says to Toto there is somewhere a wonderful place high above the skies where everybody is happy and no one is

mean how she would love to be there a Kansas Cyclone suddenly comes along and she and Toto are lifted up high in the sky and land in the country of Oz everything seems very delightful at first but soon she has the same old experiences the mean old woman of the village has turned into a terrible witch and is still trying to get Toto from her how she wishes she were back in Kansas she is told to find The Wizard of Oz he is all powerful and will grant her request she starts off to find his

Palace in the Emerald City on the way she meets a scarecrow he is is so unhappy because he hasn't a brain she meets a man made of tin who is so unhappy because he hasn't a heart then she meets a lion who was so unhappy because he has no courage she cheers them up by saying we'll all go to The Wizard of Oz and he'll give us what we want the Scarecrow a brain the Tin Man a heart and the lion courage they encounter terrible experiences for the bad witch is determined to capture Dorothy and

take away Toto and the ruby slippers which protect her at last they reach the emerald Palace of The Wizard of Oz they ask for an audience but are told no one has ever seen The Wizard of Oz who lives mysteriously in the palace but through the influence of the Good Witch of the North they enter the palace there they discover that the wizard is just a fake magician from Dorothy's Hometown in Kansas they are all in despair because their wishes cannot be granted but then the good witch shows them that their wishes are already granted

the scarecrow has developed a brain by having to decide what to do in the experiences he has encountered the Tin man finds he has a heart because he loves Dorothy and the lion has become courageous because he had to show courage in his Many Adventures the good witch from the north says to Dorothy what have you learned from your experiences and Dorothy replies I have learned that my heart's desire is in my own home and in my own front yard so the good witch waves her wand and Dorothy is at home again she wakes up

and finds that the Scarecrow the Tin Man and the lion are the men who work on her uncle's Farm they are so glad to have her back this story teaches that if you run away your problems will run after you be undisturbed by a situation and it will fall away of its own weight there is an occult law of indifference none of these things moves me none of these things disturbs me we might say in modern language when you can no longer be disturbed all disturbance will disappear from the external when your eyes have seen

your teachers your teachers disappear I set Watchmen over you saying hearken to the sound of the trumpet a trumpet is a musical instrument used in olden times to draw people's attention to something to Victory to order you will form the habit of giving atten attention to every thought and word when you realize their importance the imagination the scissors of the mind is constantly cutting out the events to come into your life many people are cutting out fear pictures seeing things which are not divinely planned with the single eye man sees only the truth he sees

through evil knowing that out of it comes good he transmutes Injustice into Justice and disarms his seeming enemy by sending good will we read in mythology of the Cyclops a race of giants said to have inhabited Sicily these Giants had only one eye in the middle of the forehead the seat of the imagining faculty is situated in the forehead between the eyes so these fabled Giants came from this idea you are indeed a giant when you have a single eye then every thought will be a constructive thought and every word a word of power power

let the third eye be the Watchman at the gate if therefore thine eye be single thy whole body is full of light with the single eye your body will be transformed into your spiritual body the body electric made in God's likeness and image imagination by seeing clearly the perfect plan we could redeem the world with our inner eyes seeing a world of peace and plenty and Good Will judge not by appearances judge righteous judgment Nation shall not lift up sword against Nation neither shall they learn War anymore the occult law of indifference means that you

are undisturbed by adverse appearances you hold steadly to the constructive thought which wins out spiritual law transcends the law of karma this is the attitude of mind which must be held by the Healer or practitioner towards his patient indifferent to to appearances of lack loss or sickness he brings about the change in mind body and Affairs let me quote from the 31st chapter of Jeremiah the keynote is one of rejoicing it gives a picture of the individual freed from negative thinking for there shall be a day that the Watchmen upon the Mount Ephraim shall cry

arise ye and let us go up to Zion unto the Lord Our God the Watchman at the gate neither Slumbers nor sleeps it is the eye which watches over Israel but the individual living in a world of negative thought is not conscious of this inner eye he may occasionally have flashes of Intuition or illumination then falls back into a world of chaos it takes determination and eternal vigilance to check up on Words and thoughts thoughts of fear failure resentment and ill will must be dissolved and dissipated take the statement every plant my Father in Heaven

has not planted shall be rooted up this gives you a vivid picture of rooting up weeds in a garden they are thrown aside and dry up because they are without soil to nourish them you nourish negative thoughts by giving them your attention use the occult law of indifference and refuse to be interested soon you will starve out the army of the aliens Divine ideas will crowd your Consciousness false ideas fade away and you will desire only that which God desires through you the Chinese have a proverb the philosopher leaves the cut of his coat to

the tailor so leave the plan of your life to the Divine designer and you will find all conditions permanently perfect the ground I am on is Holy Ground I now expand rapidly into the divine plan of my life where all conditions are permanently perfect chapter nine the way of abundance then shalt thou lay up gold as dust job 22: 24 the way of abundance is a one-way Street as the old saying is there are no two ways about it you are either heading for lack or heading for abundance the man with a rich Consciousness and

the man with a poor Consciousness are not walking on the same mental Street there is a laugh Supply divinely planned for each individual the rich man is tapping it for Rich thoughts produce Rich surroundings change your thoughts and in the twinkling of an eye all your conditions change your world is a world of crystallized ideas crystallized words sooner or later you reap the fruits of your words and thoughts words are bodies or forces which move spirally and return in due season to to cross the lives of their creators people who are always talking lack and

limitation reap lack and limitation you cannot enter the kingdom of abundance bemoaning your lot I know a woman who had always been Limited in her ideas of prosperity she was continually making her old clothes do instead of buying new clothes she was very careful of what money she had and was always advising her husband not to spend so much she said repeatedly I don't want anything I can't afford she couldn't afford much so she didn't have much suddenly her whole world cracked up her husband left her weary of her nagging and limited thoughts she was

in despair when one day she came across a book on metaphysics it explained the power of thought and words she realized that she had invited every unhappy experience by wrong thinking she laughed heartily at her mistakes and decided to profit by them she determined to prove the law of abundance she used what money she had fearlessly to show her faith in her invisible Supply she relied upon God as the source of her Prosperity she no longer voiced lack and limitation she kept herself feeling and looking prosperous her old friends scarcely recognized her she had swung

into the way of abundance more money came to her than she had ever had before unheard of doors opened amazing channels were freed she became very successful in a work she had no training for she found herself on Miracle ground what had happened she had changed the quality of her words and thoughts she had taken God into her confidence and into all of her Affairs she had many 11th Hour demonstrations but her Supply always came for she dug her ditches and gave thanks without wavering someone called me up recently and said I am looking desperately

for a position I replied don't look desperately for it look for it with praise and thanksgiving for Jesus Christ the greatest of metaphysicians said to pray with praise and thanksgiving praise and thanksgiving open the gates for expectancy always wins of course the law is impersonal and a dishonest person with Rich thoughts will attract riches but a thing ill got has ever bad success as Shakespeare says it will be of short duration and will not bring happiness we have only to read the papers to see that the way of the transgressor is hard that is the

reason it is so necessary to make your Demands a right on the Universal Supply and ask for what is yours by divine right and under grace in a perfect way some people attract Prosperity but cannot hold it sometimes their heads are turned sometimes they lose it through fear and worry a friend in one of my question and answer classes told this story some people in his hometown who had always been poor suddenly struck oil in their backyard it brought great riches the father joined the country club and went in for golf he was no longer

young the exercise was too much for him and he dropped dead on the links this filled the whole family with fear they all decided they might have heart trouble so they are now in bed with trained nurses watching every heartbeat in the race thought people must worry about something they no longer worried about money so they shifted their worries to health the old idea was that you can't have everything if you got one thing you'd lose another people were always saying your luck won't last it's too good to be true Jesus Christ said in the

world world thought there is tribulation but be of good cheer I have overcome the world thought in the superconscious OR Christ within there is a lavish supply for every demand and your good is perfect and permanent if thou return to the almighty Thou shalt be built up in Consciousness Thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy Tabernacles then shalt thou lay up gold as dust the gold of ofur as the stones of the Brooks yay the almighty shall be thy defense and thou shalt have plenty of silver what a picture of opulence the result of

returning to the almighty in Consciousness with the average person who has thought in terms of lack for a long time it is very difficult to build up a rich Consciousness I have a student who has attracted great success by making the statement I am the daughter of the king my rich father now pours out his abundance upon me I am the daughter of the king everything makes way for me many people put up with limited conditions because they are too lazy mentally to think themselves out of them you must have a great desire for Financial

Freedom you must feel yourself rich you must see yourself rich you must continually prepare for riches become as a little child and make believe you are rich you are then impressing the subconscious with EXP expectancy the imagination is man's Workshop the scissors of the Mind where he is constantly cutting out the events of his life the superconscious is the realm of inspiration Revelation illumination and intuition intuition is usually known as a hunch I do not apologize for the word hunch anymore it is now in Webster's latest dictionary I had a hunch to look up hunch

and there it was the superconscious is the realm of perfect ideas the great genius captures his thoughts from the superconscious without the vision imagination my people perish when people have lost the power to image their good they perish or go under it is interesting to compare the translation of the French and English Bibles in the 21st verse of the 22nd chapter of job we read acquaint now thyself with him and be at peace thereby good shall shall come unto thee in the French Bible we read attach thyself to God and you will have peace Thou

shalt thus enjoy happiness the 23rd verse if thou return to the almighty Thou shalt be built up Thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy Tabernacles in the French translation we read Thou shalt be reestablished if thou returnest to the almighty putting iniquity far off from your dwellings in the 24th verse we read a new and amazing translation the English Bible reads then shalt thou lay up gold as dust and the gold of ofur has the stones of the Brooks the French Bible says throw gold into the dust the gold of ofer amongst the Pebbles

of the torran and the almighty shall be thy gold thy silver thy riches this means if people are depending entirely on their visible Supply it is even better to throw it away and Trust absolutely to the almighty for Gold Silver and riches I give an example in the story told me by a friend a priest went to visit a nunnery in France where they fed many children one of the nuns in despair told the priest they had no food the children must go hungry she said that they had but one piece of silver about the

value of a quarter of a dollar they needed food and clothing the priest said Give me the coin she handed it to him and he threw it out the window now he said rely entirely upon God within a short time friends arrived with plenty of food and Gifts of money this does not mean to throw away what money you have but don't depend upon it depend upon your invisible Supply the bank of the imagination let us now attach ourselves to God and have peace for he shall be our gold our silver and our rich the

inspiration of the almighty shall be my defense and I shall have plenty of silver chapter 10 I shall never want the Lord is my shepherd I shall not want Psalms 23:1 the 23rd psalm is the best known of all the Psalms we might say that it is the keynote to the message of the Bible it tells man he shall never want want when he has the realization or conviction that the Lord is his Shepherd the realization that infinite intelligence supplies every need if you get this conviction today every need will be met now and forever

more you will draw instantly from the abundance of the Spheres whatever you desire or require for what you need is already on your pathway a woman suddenly had the realization the Lord is my shepherd I shall never want she seemed to be touching her invisible Supply she felt outside of time and space she no longer relied on the external her first demonstration was a small but necessary one she needed at once some large paper clips but had no time to go to a stationers to buy them in looking for something else she opened a little

used chest and in it she found about a dozen large paper clips she felt that the law was working and gave thanks then some needed money appeared things large and small came her way since then she has relied upon the statement the Lord is my shepherd I shall never want we used to hear people say I do not think it is right to ask God for money or things they did not realize that this creative principle is within each man the father within true spirituality is proving God as your your supply daily not just once

in a while Jesus Christ knew this law for whatever he desired or required appeared immediately on his pathway the Loaves and Fishes and money from the fish's mouth with this realization all hoarding and saving would disappear this does not mean that you should not have a big bank account and Investments but it does mean that you should not depend upon them for if you had a loss in One Direction you would have a gain in another always your barns would be full and your cup flow over now how does one make this contact with his

invisible Supply by taking a statement of Truth which clicks and gives him realization this is not open to a Chosen Few whosoever calleth on the name of the Lord shall be delivered the Lord is your Shepherd and my shepherd and everybody's Shepherd God is the Supreme intelligence devoted to supplying man's need the explanation is that man is God in action Jesus Christ said I and the father are one we might paraphrase the statement and say I and the great creative principle of the universe are one and the same man only lacks when he loses his

contact with this creative principle which must be fully trusted for it is pure intelligence and knows the way of fulfillment the reasoning mind and and personal will cause a short circuit trust in me and I will bring it to pass most people are filled with apprehension and Dread when there is nothing to cling to on the external a woman came to a practitioner and said I'm only a poor little woman with no one but God back of me the practitioner said you need not worry if you have God back of you for all that the

kingdom affords is yours a woman called me on the phone and said almost in tears I'm so worried about the business situation I replied the situation with God Remains the Same the Lord is your Shepherd you shall not want if one door shuts another door opens a very successful businessman who conducts all Affairs on Truth methods said the trouble with most people is that they get to relying on certain conditions they haven't enough imagination to go forward to open new ch channels nearly every big success is built upon a failure I was told that Edgar

Bergen lost his part in a Broadway production because they did not want any more dummies nol coward got him on the Rudy Valley radio hour and he and Charlie McCarthy became famous overnight I told the story at one of my meetings of a man who was so poor and discouraged that he ended it all a few days later came a letter notifying him that he had inherited a large Fortune a man in the meeting said that means when you want to be dead your demonstration is 3 days off yes do not be fooled by the

darkness before the dawn it is a good thing to see the dawn once in a while to convince you how unfailing it is it reminds me of an experience of several years ago I had a friend who lived in Brooklyn near Prospect park she liked to do unusual things and said to me come to visit me and will get up early and see the sunrise in Prospect Park at first I refused and then came the hunch that it would be an interesting experience it was in the summer we got up about 4:00 my friend her

little daughter and myself it was pitch dark but we sallied forth down the street to the entrance of the park some policemen eyed us curiously but my friend said to them with dignity we are going to see the sunrise and it seemed to satisfy them we walked through the park to the beautiful rose garden a faint pink streak appeared in the east then suddenly we heard a most tremendous uproar we were near the zoo and all the animals were greeting the dawn the lions and tigers roared the hyenas laughed there were shrieks and howls every

animal had something to say for a new day was at hand it was indeed most inspiring the light slanted through the trees everything had an unearthly aspect then as it grew lighter our shadows were in front instead of behind us the dawn of a new day this is the wonderful Dawn which comes to each one of us after some Darkness your dawn of success happiness and abundance is sure to come every day is important for we read in the wonderful Sanskrit poem look well therefore to this day such is the salutation of the dawn this

day the Lord is your Shepherd this day you shall not want as you and this great creative principle are one and the same the 34th Psalm is also a Psalm of security it starts with a blessing for the Lord I Will Bless The Lord at all times his praise shall continually be in my mouth they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing seeking the Lord means that man must make the first move draw near to me and I will draw near to thee saith the Lord you seek the Lord by making your

affirmation expecting and preparing for your good if you ask for success and prepare for failure you will receive the thing you have prepared for I tell in my book The Game of Life and how to play it of a man who asked me to speak the word that all his debts be wiped out after the treatment he said now I'm thinking what I'll say to the people when I haven't the money to pay them a treatment won't help you if you haven't faith in it for Faith and expectancy impress the subconscious mind with a picture

of fulfillment in the 23rd psalm we read he restoreth My Soul Your Soul is your subconscious mind and must be restored with the right ideas whatever you feel deeply is impressed upon the subconscious and manifests in your Affairs if you are convinced that you are a failure you will be a failure until you impress the subconscious with the conviction you are a success this is done by making an affirmation which clicks a friend in a meeting said that I had given her the statement as she was leaving the room the ground you are on is

Harvest ground things with her had been very dull but this statement clicked Harvest ground Harvest ground rang in her ears good things immediately commence to come to her and happy surprises the reason it is necessary to make an affirmation is because repetition impresses the subconscious you cannot control your thoughts at first but you can control your words and Jesus Christ said by your words you are Justified and by your words you are condemned every day choose the right words the right thoughts the Imaging faculty is the creative faculty out of the imaginations of the heart

come the issues of life we have all a bank we can draw upon the bank of the imagination let us imagine ourselves Rich well and happy imagine all our Affairs in divine order but leave the way of fulfillment to infinite intelligence he has weapons ye know not of he has channels which will surprise you one of the most important passages in the 23rd Psalm is thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies this means that even in the presence of the enemy situation brought on by your doubts fears or resentments a

way out is prepared for you the Lord is my shepherd I shall never want chapter 11 look with wonder I will remember the works of the Lord surely I will remember thy wonders of old Psalms 77:1 the words wonder and wonderful are used many times in the Bible in the dictionary the word wonder is defined as cause for surprise astonishment a miracle a Marvel alenky in his book titium organum calls the fourth-dimensional world the world of the wondrous he has figured out mathematically that that there is a realm where all conditions are perfect Jesus Christ

called it the kingdom we might say seek ye first the world of the wondrous and all things shall be added unto you it can only be reached through a state of consciousness Jesus Christ said to enter the kingdom we must become as a little child children are continually in a state of joy and wonder the future holds Promises of mysterious good and anything can happen overnight Robert Lewis Stevenson in a child's Garden of verses says the world is so full of a number of things I'm sure we should all be as happy as kings so

let us look with Wonder at that which is before us that statement was given me a number of years ago I mention it in my book The Game of Life and how to play it I had missed an opportunity and felt that I should have been more awake to my good the next day I took the statement early in the morning I look with Wonder at that which is before me at noon the phone rang and the proposition was put to me again this time I grasped it I did indeed look with Wonder for I

never expected the opportunity to come to me again a friend in one of my meetings said the other day that this statement had brought her wonderful results it fills the Consciousness with happy expectancy children are filled with happy expectancy until grown-up people and unhappy experiences bring them out of the world of the wondrous let us look back and remember some of the gloomy ideas which were given us eat the speckled apples first don't expect too much then you won't be disappointed you can't have everything in this life childhood is your happiest time no one knows

what the future will bring what a start in life these are some of the Impressions I picked up in early childhood at the age of six I had a great sense of responsibility instead of looking with Wonder at that which was before me I looked with fear and suspicion I feel much younger now than I did when I was six I have an early photograph taken about that time grasping a flower but with a careworn and hopeless expression I had left the world of the wondrous behind me I was now living in the world of

realities as my elders told me and it was far from wondrous it is a great privilege for children to live in this age when they are taught truth from their birth even if they are not taught actual metaphysics the ethers are filled with joyous expectancy you may become a Shirley Temple or a Freddy Bartholomew or a great pianist at the age of six and go on a concert tour we are all now back in the world of the wondrous where anything can happen overnight for when miracles do come they come quickly so let us become

Miracle conscious prepare for miracles Expect Miracles and we are then inviting them into our lives maybe you need a financial Miracle there is a supply for every demand through active Faith the word and intuition we release this invisible Supply I will give you an example one of my students found herself almost without funds she needed $1,000 she had plenty of money at one time and beautiful possessions but had nothing left but an IR wrap no fur dealer would give her much for it I spoke the word that it would be sold to the right person

for the right price or that the supply would come in some other way it was necessary that the money manifest at once it was no time to worry or reason she was on the street making her affirmations it was a stormy day she said to herself I'm going to show active Faith In My Invisible Supply by taking a taxi cab it was a very strong hunch as she got out of the taxi at her destination a woman stood waiting to get in it was an old friend a very very kind friend it was the first

time in her life she had ever taken a taxi but her roles Royce was out of commission that afternoon they talked and my friend told her about the man rap why her friend said I will give you $1,000 for it and that afternoon she had the check God's ways are ingenious his methods are sure a student wrote me the other day that she was using that statement God's ways are ingenious his methods are sure a series of unexpected contacts brought about a situation she had been Desiring she looked with Wonder at the working of the

law our demonstrations usually come within a split second all is timed with amazing accuracy in Divine mind my student left the taxi just as her friend stopped to enter a second later she would have hailed another taxi man's part is to be wide awake to his leads and hunches for on the magic path of intuition is all that he desires or requires in Molton modern reader Bible The Book of Psalms is recognized as the Perfection of lyric poetry the musical meditation which is the essence of lyrics can find no higher field Than The Devout Spirit

which at once raises itself to the service of God and overflows on the various sides of active and contemplative life the Psalms are also human documents and I have selected the 77th Psalm because it gives the picture of a man in despair but as he contemplates the wonders of God faith and Assurance are restored to him I Cried unto God with my voice even unto God with my voice and he gave ear unto me in the day of my trouble I sought the Lord my soul refused to be comforted will the Lord cast off forever

and will he be favorable no more hath God forgotten to be gracious hath he in Anger shut up his Tender Mercies and I said this is my infirmity but I will remember the years of the right hand of the most high I will remember the works of the Lord Lord surely I will remember thy wonders of old I will meditate also of all thy Work and talk of thy doings thy way oh God is in the sanctuary who is so great a God as our God Thou Art the god that doest wonders thou Hast With

Thine arm redeemed thy people this is a picture of what the average truth student goes through when confronted with a problem he is assailed by thoughts of Doubt fear fear and despair then some statement of truth will flash into his Consciousness God's ways are ingenious his methods are sure he remembers other difficulties which have been overcome his confidence in God returns he thinks what God has done before he will do for me and more I was talking to a friend not long ago who said I would be pretty dumb if I didn't believe God could

solve my problem so many times before one wonderful things have come to me I know they will come again so the summing up of the 77th Psalm is what God has done before he now does for me and more it is a good thing to say when you think of your past success happiness or wealth all loss comes from your own vain imaginings fear of loss crept into your Consciousness you carried burdens and fought battles you reasoned instead of sticking to the magic path of inition but in the twinkling of an eye all will be

restored to you for as they say in the East what Allah has given cannot be diminished now to go back to the child's State of Consciousness you should be filled with wonder but be careful not to live in your past childhood I know people who can only think about their happy Childhood Days they remember what they were no Skies have since been so blue or grass so green they therefore missed the opportunities of the wonderful now I will tell an amusing story of a friend who lived in a town when she was very young then

moved away to another city she always looked back to the house they first lived in to her it was an enchanted Palace large spacious and glamorous many years later when she had grown up she had an opportunity of visiting this house she was disillusioned she found it small stuffy and ugly her idea of beauty had entirely changed for in the front yard was an iron dog if you went back to your past it would not be the same so in this friend's family they called living in the past iron dogging her sister told me a

story of some iron dogging she had done when she was about 16 she met abroad a very dashing and romantic young man an artist this romance didn't last long but she talked about it a lot to the man she afterwards married years rolled by The Dashing and romantic young man had become a well-known artist and came to this country to have an exhibition of his pictures my friend was filled with excitement and hunted him up to renew their friendship she went to his exhibition and in walked a portly businessman no Trace was left of the

dashing romantic youth when she told her husband all he said was iron dogging remember now is the appointed time today is the day and your good can happen overnight look with Wonder at that which is before you we are filled with Divine expectancy I will restore to you the years which the locusts have eaten now let each one think of the good which seems so difficult to attain it may be health wealth happiness or perfect self-expression do not think how your good can be accomplished just give thanks that you have already received on the invisible

plane therefore the steps leading up to it are secured also be wide awake to your intuitive leads and suddenly you find yourself in your Promised Land I look with Wonder at that which is before me chapter 12 catch up with your good and it shall come to pass that before they call I will answer and while they are yet speaking I will hear Isaiah 65 verse 24 catch up with your good this is a new way of saying before they call I will answer your good precedes you it gets there before you do but how

to catch up with your good for you must have ears that hear and eyes to see or it will escape you some people never catch up with their good in life they will say my life has always been one of hardship no good luck ever comes to me they are the people who have been asleep to their opportunities or through laziness haven't caught up with their good a woman told a group of friends that she had not eaten for 3 days they dashed about asking people to give her work but she refused it she explained

that she never got up until 12:00 she like to lie in bed and read magazines she just wanted people to support her while she read Vogue and in Harper's Bazaar we must be careful not to slip into lazy states of Mind take the affirmation I am wide awake to my good I never miss a trick most people are only half awake to their good a students said to me if I don't follow my hunches I always get into a jam I will tell the story of a woman one of my students who followed her intuitive

lead which brought amazing results she had asked to visit friends at a nearby town she had very little money when she arrived at her destination she found the house locked up they had gone away she was filled with despair then commenced to pray she said infinite intelligence give me a definite lead let me know just what to do the name of a certain hotel flashed into her Consciousness it persisted the names seemed to stand out in big letters she had just enough money to get back to New York in the hotel as she was about

to enter an old friend suddenly appeared who greeted her warmly and whom she hadn't seen for years she explained that she was living at the hotel but was going away for several months and added why don't you live in my Suite while I'm away it won't cost you a cent my friend accepted gratefully and looked with amazement on the working of spiritual law she had caught up with her good by following intuition all going forward comes from desire science today is going back to Lamar and his Dent of wishing theory he claims that birds do

not fly because they have wings but they have wings because they wanted to fly result of the push of the emotional wish think of the irresistible power of thought with Clear Vision many people are in a fog most of the time making wrong decisions and going the wrong way during the Christmas run my maid said to a saleswoman at one of the big shops I suppose this is your busiest day she replied oh no the day after Christmas is our busiest day when people bring most of the things back hundreds of people choose the wrong

gifts because they were not listening to their intuitive leads no matter what you are doing ask for guidance it saves time and energy and often a lifetime of misery all suffering comes from the violation of intuition unless intuition builds the house they labor in vain who build it get the habit of hunching then you will always be on the magic path and it shall come to pass that before they call I will answer and while they are yet speaking I will hear working with spiritual law we are bringing to pass that which already is in

the universal mind it is there as an idea but is crystallized on the external by a sincere desire the idea of a bird was a perfect picture in Divine mind the fish caught the idea and wish themselves into birds are your desires bringing you wings we should all be bringing some seemingly impossible thing to pass one of my affirmations is the unexpected happens my seemingly impossible good now comes to pass do not magnify obstacles magnify the Lord that means magnify God's power the average person will dwell on all the obstacles and hindrances which are there

to prevent his good coming to pass you combine with what you notice so if you give obstacles and hindrances your undivided attention they grow worse and worse give God your undivided attention keep saying silently in the face of all obstacles God's ways are ingenious his method are sure God's power is Invincible though invisible call unto me and I will answer thee and show thee Great and Mighty things which thou knowest not in demonstrating our good we must look away from adverse appearances judge not by appearances get some statement which will give you a feeling of

assurance the long arm of God reaches out over people and conditions controlling the situation and protecting my interests I was asked to speak the word for a man who was to have a business interview with a seemingly unscrupulous person I used the statement and rightness and Justice came out of the situation at just the exact time I was speaking we have all heard the quotation from Proverbs hope deferred maketh the heart grow sick but when the desire cometh it is a tree of life in Desiring sincerely without anxiety we are catching up with the thing

desired and the desire becomes crystallized on the external I will give to you the righteous desires of your heart selfish desires desires which harm others always return to harm the cender the righteous desire might be called an echo from the infinite it is already a perfect idea in Divine mind all inventors catch up with the ideas of the Articles they invent I say in my book The Game of Life and how to play it the telephone was seeking Bell often two people discover the same inventions at the same time they have tuned in with the

same idea the most important thing in life is to bring the divine plan to pass just as the picture of the oak is in the acorn the Divine Design of your life is in your superconscious mind and you must work out the perfect pattern in your Affairs you will then lead a magic life for in the Divine Design all conditions are permanently Perfect People defy the Divine Design when they are asleep to their good perhaps the woman who like to lie in bed most of the day and read magazines should be writing for magazines but

her habits of laziness dulled all desire to go forward the fishes who desired wings were alert and Alive they did not spend their days in the bed of the ocean reading Vogue in Harper's bizaar awake thou that sleepeth and catch up with your good call on me and I will answer thee and show thee Great and Mighty things which thou knowest not I now catch up with my good for before I called I was answered chapter 13 rivers in the desert behold I shall do a new thing now it shall spring forth shall ye not

know it I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert Isaiah 43: 19 in this 43rd chapter of Isaiah are many wonderful statements showing the irresistible power of supreme Intelligence coming to man's rescue in times of trouble no matter how impossible the situation seems infinite intelligence knows the way out working with God Power Man becomes unconditioned and absolute let us get a realization of this hidden power we can call call upon at any moment make your contact with infinite intelligence the God within and all appearance of evil evaporates for it

comes from man's vain imaginings in my question and answer class I would be asked how do you make conscious contact with this invincible power I reply by Your Word by Your Word you are Justified the Centurion said to Jesus Christ speak the word master and my servant shall be healed whosoever calleth on the name of the Lord shall be delivered notice the word call you are calling on the Lord or law when you make an affirmation of Truth as I always say take a statement which clicks that means gives you a feeling of security people

are enslaved by ideas of lack lack of Love lack of money lack of companionship lack of health and so on they are enslaved by the ideas of interference and incompletion they are asleep in the adamic dream Adam generic man ate of Maya the tree of Illusion and saw two Powers good and evil the Christ mission was to wake people up to the truth of one power God awake thou that sleepeth if you lack any good thing you are still asleep to your good how do you awake from the adamic dream of opposites after having slept

soundly in the race thought for hundreds of years Jesus Christ said when two of you agree it shall be done it is the law of agreement it is almost impossible to see clearly your good for yourself that is where the Healer practitioner or friend is necessary many successful men say they have succeeded because their wives believed in them I will quote from a current newspaper giving Walter P Chrysler's tribute to his wife nothing he once said has given me more satisfaction in life than the way my wife had faith in me from the very first

through all those years Chrysler wrote of her it seemed to me I could not make anyone understand that I was ambitious except Dela I could tell her and she would notd it seems to me I even dared to tell her that I intended someday to be Master Mechanic she always backed his Ambitions talk about your Affairs as little as possible and then only to the ones who will give you encouragement and inspiration the world is full of wet blankets people who tell you it can't be done that you are aiming too high as people sit

in truth meetings and services often a word or an idea will open a way in the wilderness of course the Bible is speaking of states of Consciousness you are in a Wilderness or desert when you are out of Harmony when you are angry resentful fearful or undecided indecision is the cause of much ill Health being unable to make up your mind one day when I was in a bus a woman stopped it and asked the conductor its destination he told her but she was undecided she got halfway on and then got off then on again

the conductor turned to her and said lady make up your mind so it is with so many people ladies make up your minds the intuitive person is never undecided he has given his leads and punches and goes boldly ahead knowing he is on the magic path in truth we always ask for definite leads just what to do you will always receive one if you ask for it sometimes it comes as intuition sometimes from the external one of my students named ad was walking down the street undecided whether to go to a certain place or not

she asked for a lead two women were walking in front of her one turned to the other and said why don't you go aah the woman's name just happened to be a my friend took it as a definite lead and went on to her destination and the outcome was very successful we really lead magic lives guided and provided for at every step if we have ears to hear and eyes that see of course we have left the plane of the intellect and are drawing from the super conscious the God within which says this is the

way walk ye in it whatever you should know will be revealed to you whatever you lack will be provided thus saeth the Lord which maketh a way in the sea and a path in the mighty Waters remember ye not the former things neither consider the things of old people who live in the past have severed their contact with the wonderful now God knows only the now now is the appointed time today is the day many people lead lives of limitation hoarding and saving afraid to use what they have which brings more lack and more limitation

I give the example of a woman who lived in a small country town she could scarcely see to get about and had very little money a kind friend took her to an oculist and presented her with glasses which enabled her to see perfectly sometime later she met her on the street without the glasses she exclaimed where are your glasses the woman replied well you don't expect me to hack them out by using them every day do you I only wear them on Sundays you must live in the now and be wide awake to your opportunities

behold I will do a new thing now it shall spring forth shall ye not know it I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert this message is meant for the individual think of your problem and know that infinite intelligence knows the way of fulfillment I say the way for before you called you were answered the supply always precedes the demand God is the giver and the gift and now creates his own amazing channels when you have asked for the divine plan of your life to manifest you are protected from

getting the things that are not in the divine plan you may think that all your happiness depends upon obtaining one particular thing in life later on you praised the Lord that you didn't get it sometimes you are tempted to follow the reasoning mind and argue with your intuitive leads suddenly the hand of Destiny pushes you into your right place under grace you find yourself back on the magic path again you are now wide awake to your good you have the ears that hear your intuitive leads and the eyes which see the open road of fulfillment

the genius Within Me is released I now fulfill my destiny chapter 14 inner meaning of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves I have been asked to give a metaphysical interpretation of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves one of Grim's fairy tales it is amazing how this picture of fairy story swept Sophisticated New York and the whole country due to Walt Disney's genius this fairy tale was supposed to be for children but men and women have packed the theater it is because Fairy Tales come down from old Legends of Persia India and Egypt which are founded

on Truth Snow White the little princess has a cruel stepmother who is jealous of her this cruel stepmother idea appears also in Cinderella nearly everyone has a cruel stepmother the cruel stepmother is a negative thought form you have built up in the subconscious Snow White's cruel stepmother is jealous of her and always keeps her in rags and in the background all cruel thought forms do this the cruel stepmother consults her magic mirror every day saying magic mirror on the wall who is the fairest of them all one day the mirror replies thou Queen mayest fair

and beautious be but Snow White is a Lovelier far than thee this enrages the queen so she decides to send Snow White to the forest to be killed by one of her servants however the servant's heart melts when Snow White begs for her life so he leaves her in the woods the woods are filled with terrifying animals and many pitfalls and dangers she falls in Terror to the ground and while there a most unusual spectacle presents itself scores of the most delightful little animals and birds creep up and Surround her rabbits squirrels deer beavers raccoons

Etc she opens her eyes and greets them with pleasure they are so friendly and attractive she tells her story and they lead her to a little house which she makes her home now these friendly birds and animals symbolize our intuitive leads or hunches which are always ready to get you out of the woods the Little House proves to be the home of the Seven Dwarves everything is in disorder so Snow White and her animal friends begin to clean the house the squirrels dust with their tails the birds hang things up using the little deer's horns

for a hat rack when the Seven Dwarfs come home from their work of digging gold they discover the change and at last find Snow White asleep on one of the beds in the morning she tells her story remains with them to keep house and cook their meals and is very happy the Seven Dwarves symbolized the protective forces All About Us in the meantime the cruel stepmother consults her mirror and it says to her over the hills and the green woodshade where the Seven Dwarves their dwelling have made there snow white is hiding her head and

she is Lovelier far o Queen than thee this infuriates the queen so she starts off disguised as an old hag with a poison apple for Snow White she finds her In The House of the Seven Dwarves and tempts her with the big red luscious Apple the birds and animals Endeavor to tell her not to touch it they try to give her the hunch not to eat it they rush around in dismay but Snow White can't resist the Apple she takes one bite and Falls apparently dead now all the little birds and animals rush off to

bring the Seven Dwarves to the rescue but too late Snow White Lies lifeless they all bow their little heads in grief then suddenly the prince appears kisses Snow White and she comes to life they are married and live happily ever after the Queen the cruel stepmother is Swept Away by a terrific storm the old thought form is dissolved and dissipated forever the prince symbolizes the divine plan of your life when it wakes you up you live happily ever after this is the fairy story which has enthralled New York and the whole country find out what

form of tyranny your cruel stepmother is taking in your subconscious it is some negative conviction which works out in all your Affairs we hear people saying my good always comes to me too late I've lost so many opportunities we must reverse the thought and say repeatedly I am wide awake to my good I never miss a trick we must drown out the dreary suggestions of the cruel stepmother Eternal vigilance is the price of freedom from these negative thought forms nothing can hinder nothing can delay the manifestation of the divine plan of my life the light
