The thing you dislike or hate will surely come upon you, for when man hates, he makes a vivid picture in the subconscious mind and it objectifies.<\/p>\n
The only way to erase these pictures is through non-resistance.<\/p>\n
(See The Game of Life and How to Play It<\/i>.)<\/p>\n
For example: A woman was interested in a man who told her repeatedly of his charming women cousins.<\/p>\n
She was jealous and resentful and he passed out of her life.<\/p>\n
Later on she met another man to whom she was much attracted. In the course of their conversation he mentioned some women cousins he was very fond of.<\/p>\n
She resented it, then laughed, for here were her old friends “the cousins” back again.<\/p>\n
This time she tried non-resistance. She blessed all the cousins in the Universe and sent them good-will, for she knew if she didn’t, every man she met would be stocked up with women relations.<\/p>\n
It was successful for she never heard cousins mentioned again.<\/p>\n
This is the reason so many people have unhappy experiences repeated in their lives.<\/p>\n
I knew a woman who bragged of her troubles. She would go about saying to people; “I know what trouble is!” and then wait for their words of sympathy.<\/p>\n
Of course, the more she mentioned her troubles, the more she had, for by her words she “was condemned.”<\/p>\n
She should have used her words to neutralize her troubles instead of to multiply them.<\/p>\n
For example\u2014had she said repeatedly: “I cast every burden upon the Christ within and I go free,” and not voiced her sorrows, they would have faded from her life, for “by your words you are justified<\/i>.”<\/p>\n
\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n
“I will give to thee the land that thou seest<\/i>.”<\/p>\n
Man is ever reaping on the external what he has sown in his thought world.<\/p>\n
For example: A woman needed money and was walking along the street making the affirmation that God was her immediate supply.<\/p>\n
She looked down and at her feet was a two dollar bill, which she picked up.<\/p>\n
A man standing near (a watchman in a building), said to her: “Lady, did you pick up some money? I thought it was a piece of chewing-gum paper. A lot of people walked over it, but when you came it opened up like a leaf<\/i>.”<\/p>\n
The others, thinking lack, had passed over it, but at her words of faith it unfurled.<\/p>\n
So with the opportunities in life\u2014one man sees, another passes by.<\/p>\n
\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n
“Faith without works (or action) is dead.”<\/p>\n
The student, in order to bring into manifestation the answer to his prayer must show active faith<\/i>.<\/p>\n
For example: A woman came to me asking me to speak the word for the renting of a room.<\/p>\n
I gave her the statement: “I give thanks that the room is now rented to the right and perfect man for the right price, giving perfect satisfaction.”<\/p>\n
Several weeks elapsed but the room had not been rented.<\/p>\n
I asked: “Have you shown active faith? Have you followed every hunch in regard to the room?” She replied: “I had a hunch to get a lamp for the room, but I decided I couldn’t afford it.” I said: “You’ll never rent the room until you get the lamp, for in buying the lamp you are acting your faith<\/i>, impressing the subconscious mind with certainty<\/i>.”<\/p>\n
I asked: “What is the price of the lamp?” She answered: “Four dollars.” I exclaimed: “Four dollars standing between you and the perfect man!”<\/p>\n
She became so enthusiastic, she bought two<\/i> lamps.<\/p>\n
About a week elapsed and in walked the perfect man. He did not smoke and paid the rent in advance and fulfilled her ideal in every way.<\/p>\n
Unless you become as a little child and dig your ditches you shall in no wise enter the Kingdom of manifestation.<\/p>\n
(See The Game of Life and How to Play It<\/i>.)<\/p>\n
\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n
“Without the vision my people perish.” Unless man has some objective, some Promised Land to look forward to, he begins to perish.<\/p>\n
We see it so often in small country towns, in the men who sit around a stove all winter, who “Ain\u2019t got no ambition.”<\/p>\n
Within each one is an undiscovered country, a gold mine.<\/p>\n
I knew a man in a country town called “Magnolia Charlie,” because he always found the first magnolia in the spring.<\/p>\n
He was a shoemaker, but every afternoon left his work to go to the station to meet the four-fifteen train, from a distant city.<\/p>\n
They were the only romances in his life, the first magnolia and the four-fifteen train.<\/p>\n
He felt vaguely the call of the vision in the superconscious mind.<\/p>\n
No doubt, the Divine Design for him included travel and perhaps he was to become a genius in the plant world.<\/p>\n
Through the spoken word the Divine Design may be released and each one fulfill his destiny.<\/p>\n
“I now see clearly the perfect plan of my life. Divine enthusiasm fires me and I now fulfill my destiny.”<\/p>\n
The Spiritual attitude towards money is to know that God is man’s supply<\/i>, and that he draws it from the abundance of the spheres, through his faith and spoken word.<\/p>\n
When man realizes this he loses all greed for money, and is fearless in letting it go out.<\/p>\n
With his magic purse of the Spirit, his supply is endless<\/i> and immediate<\/i>, and he knows also that giving<\/i> precedes receiving<\/i>.<\/p>\n
For example: “A woman came to me asking me to speak the word for five hundred dollars by the first of August. (It was then about the first of July.)<\/p>\n
I knew her very well, and said: “The trouble with you is you don’t give<\/i> enough. You must open your channels of supply by giving<\/i>.”<\/p>\n
She had accepted an invitation to visit a friend and did not want to go on account of the formality.<\/p>\n
She said: “Please treat me to be polite for three weeks, and I want to get away as soon as possible, and be sure to speak the word for the five hundred dollars.”<\/p>\n
She went to the friend’s house, was unhappy and restless and tried continually to leave, but was always persuaded to stay longer.<\/p>\n
She remembered my advice, however, and gave the people about her presents. Whenever possible she made a little gift.<\/p>\n
It was nearing the first of August and no signs of the five hundred dollars, and no way of escape from the visit.<\/p>\n
The last day of July she said: “Oh God! maybe I haven’t given enough!” So she tipped all the servants more than she had intended.<\/p>\n
The first of August, her hostess said to her: “My dear, I want to make you a gift,” and she handed her a check for five hundred dollars!<\/p>\n
God works in unexpected ways his wonders to perform.<\/p>\n
\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n
God is incapable of separation or division; therefore, my good is incapable of separation or division. I am one<\/i> with my undivided good.<\/p>\n
\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n
All that is mine by Divine Right is now released and reaches me in a perfect way under Grace.<\/p>\n
\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n
God’s work is finished now and must manifest.<\/p>\n
\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n
I serve only faith and my unlimited abundance is made manifest.<\/p>\n
\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n
I am undisturbed by appearances. I trust in God\u2014and He now brings to me the desires of my heart.<\/p>\n
\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n
My good now overtakes me in a surprising way.<\/p>\n
\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n
The Divine Plan of my life cannot be tampered with. It is incorruptible and indestructible. It awaits only my recognition.<\/p>\n
\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n
There is no there\u2014there is only here.<\/p>\n
\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n
Reveal to me the way, let me see clearly the blessing which Thou hast given me.<\/p>\n
\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n
Let Thy blessed will be done in me this day.<\/p>\n
\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n
Hunches are my hounds of Heaven\u2014they lead me in the perfect way.<\/p>\n
\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n
All things I seek are now seeking me.<\/p>\n
\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n
Divine Activity is now operating in my mind, body and affairs, whether I see it or not.<\/p>\n
\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n
Since I am one with the Only Presence, I am one with my heart’s desire.<\/p>\n
\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n
I now have the single eye of the Spirit and see only completion.<\/p>\n
\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n
I am a perfect idea in Divine Mind and I am always in my right place doing my right work at the right time for the right pay.<\/p>\n
\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n
The Columbus in you will see you through.<\/p>\n
\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n
I am an irresistible magnet for checks, bills and currency\u2014for everything that belongs to me by Divine Right.<\/p>\n
\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n
Thou in me art completion. As I have asked I must receive.<\/p>\n
\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n
The law of God is the law of increase and I give thanks for increase under grace in perfect ways.<\/p>\n
\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n
I dwell in a sea of abundance. I see clearly my inexhaustible supply. I see clearly just what to do.<\/p>\n
\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n
My “World of the Wondrous” now swings into manifestation and I enter my Promised Land under grace!<\/p>\n
Great peace have I who love thy law of nonresistance and nothing shall offend me.<\/p>\n
\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n
Thou in me art Inspiration, Revelation and Illumination.<\/p>\n
