  Speaker 1: The Game of Life and How to Play It by
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Florence Scovelshin nineteen twenty five. One The game. Most people
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: consider life a battle, but it is not a battle.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: It is a game. It is a game, however, which
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: cannot be played successfully without the knowledge of spiritual law,
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: and the Old and the New Testaments give the rules
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: of the game with wonderful clearness. Jesus Christ taught that
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: it was a great game of giving and receiving. Whatsoever
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: a man saeth, that shall he also reap. This means
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: that whatever man sends out in word or deed will
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: return to him. What he gives he will receive. If
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: he gives hate, he will receive hate. If he gives love,
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: he will receive love. If he gives criticism, he will
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: receive criticism. If he lies, he will be lied to.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: If he cheats, he will be cheated. We are taught
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: also that the imaging faculty plays a leading part in
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: the game of life. Keep thy heart or imagination with
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: all diligence, for out of it are the issues of
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: life Proverbs four, verse twenty three. This means that what
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: man images sooner or later externalizes in his affairs. I
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: know of a man who feared a certain disease. It
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: was a very rare disease and difficult to get, but
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: he pictured it continually and read about it until it
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: manifested in his body, and he died, the victim of
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: distorted imagination. So we see, to play successfully the game
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: of life, we must train the imaging faculty. A person
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: with an imaging faculty, trained to image only good, brings
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: into his life every righteous desire of his heart, health, wealth, love, friends,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: perfect self expression, his highest ideals. The imagination has been
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: called the scissors of the mind, and it is ever cutting, cutting,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: day by day the pictures man sees there, and sooner
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: or later he meets his own creations in his outer world.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: To train the imagination successfully, man must understand the workings
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: of his mind. The Greek said, know thyself. There are
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: three departments of the mind, the subconscious, conscious, and super conscious.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: The subconscious is simply power without direction. It is like
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: steam or electricity, and it does what it is directed
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: to do. It has no power of induction. Whatever man
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: feels deeply or images clearly, is impressed upon the sub
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: conscious mind and carried out in minutest detail. For example,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: a woman I know when a child always may believe
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: she was a widow. She dressed up in black clothes
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: and wore a long black veil, and people thought she
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: was very clever and amusing. She grew up and married
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: a man with whom she was deeply in love. In
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: a short time he died, and she wore black and
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: a sweeping veil for many years. The picture of herself
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: as a widow was impressed upon the sub conscious mind,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: and in due time worked itself out, regardless of the
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: havoc created. The conscious mind has been called mortal or
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: carnal mind. It is the human mind and sees life
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: as it appears to be. It sees death, disaster, sickness, poverty,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: and limitation of every kind, and it impresses the subconscious.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: The super conscious mind is the god mind within each
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: man and is the realm of perfect ideas. In it
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: is the perfect pattern spoken of by Plato, the divine design,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: For there is a divine design for each person. There
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: is a place that you are to fill and no
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: one else can fill. Something you are to do which
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: no one else can do. There is a perfect picture
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: of this in the super conscious mind. It usually flashes
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: across the conscious as an unattainable ideal, something too good
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: to be true. In reality, it is man's true destiny
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: or destination, flashed to him from the infinite intelligence which
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: is within himself. Many people, however, are in ignorance of
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: their true destinies, and are striving for things and situations
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: which do not belong to them and would only bring
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: failure and dissatisfaction if attained. For example, a woman came
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: to me and asked me to speak the word that
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: she would marry a certain man with whom she was
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: very much in love. She called him A B. I
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: replied that this would be a violation of spiritual law,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: but that I would speak the word for the right man,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: that divine selection, the man who belonged to her by
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: divine right. I added, if A. B is the right man,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: you can't lose him, and if he isn't, you will
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: receive his equivalent. She saw A B frequently, but no
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: headway was made in their friendship. One evening she called
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: and said, do you know, for the last week A.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: B hasn't seemed so wonderful to me. I replied, maybe
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: he is not the divine selection. Another man may be
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: the right one. Soon after that she met another man
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: who fell in love with her at once, and who
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: said she was his ideal. In fact, he said all
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: the things that she had always wished a bee would
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: say to her. She remarked, it was quite uncanny. She
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: soon returned his love and lost all interest in a bee.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: This shows the law of substitution. A right idea was
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: substituted for a wrong one, Therefore there was no loss
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: or sacrifice involved. Jesus Christ said, seek ye first the
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: shall be added unto you. And he said the kingdom
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: was within man. The kingdom is the realm of right
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: ideas or the divine pattern. Jesus Christ taught that man's
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: words played a leading part in the game of life.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: By your words, ye are justified, and by your words
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: ye are condemned. Many people have brought disaster into their
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: lives through idle words. For example, a woman once asked
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: me why her lifefe was now one of poverty of limitation.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Formerly she had a home, was surrounded by beautiful things,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: and had plenty of money. We found she had often
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: tired of the management of her home and had said repeatedly,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: I'm sick and tired of things. I wish I lived
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: in a trunk, And she added to day, I am
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: living in that trunk. She had spoken herself into a trunk.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: The sub conscious mind has no sense of humor, and
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: people often joked themselves into unhappy experiences. For example, a
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: woman who had a great deal of money joked continually
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: about getting ready for the poor house. In a few years.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: She was almost destitute, having impressed the sub conscious mind
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: with a picture of lack and limitation. Fortunately, the law
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: works both ways, and a situation of lack may be
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: changed to one of plenty. For example, a woman came
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: to me one hot summer's day for a treatment for prosperity.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: She was worn out, dejected, and discouraged. She said she
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: possessed just eight dollars in the world. I said, good,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: We'll bless the eight dollars and multiply them, as Jesus
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Christ multiplied the loaves and the fishes, for he taught
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: that every man had the power to bless and to multiply,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: to heal, and to prosper. She said, what shall I
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: do next? I replied, follow intuition. Have you a hunch
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: to do anything or to go anywhere. Intuition means intuition
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: or to be taught from within. It is man's unerring guide,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: and I will deal more fully with its laws. In
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: a following chapter, the woman replied, I don't know. I
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: seem to have a hunch to go home. I've just
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: enough money for carfare. Her home was in a distant
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: city and was one of lack and limitation, and the
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: reasoning mind or intellect would have said, stay in New
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: York and get work and make some money. I replied,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: then go home. Never violate a hunch. I spoke the
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: following words. For her infinite spirit opened the way for
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: great abundance. For she is an irresistible magnet for all
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: that belongs to her by divine right. I told her
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: to repeat it continually. Also, she left for home immediately.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: In calling on a woman one day, she linked up
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: with an old friend of her family. Through this friend,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: she received thousands of dollars in a most miraculous way.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: She has said to me, often tell people about the
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: woman who came to you with eight dollars and a hunch.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: There is always plenty on man's pathway, but it can
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: only be brought into manifestation through desire, faith, or the
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: spoken word. Jesus Christ brought out clearly that man must
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: make the first move, Ask and it shall be given.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: You Seek and ye shall find. Knock and it shall
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: be opened unto you Matt seven, Colon seven. In the
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: scriptures we read concerning the works of my hands command
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: infinite intelligence. God is ever ready to carry out man's
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: smallest or greatest demands. Every desire uttered or unexpressed, is
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: a demand. We are often startled by having a wish
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: suddenly fulfilled. For example, one Easter, having seen many beautiful
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: rose trees in the florist's windows, I wished I would
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: receive one, and for an instant saw it mentally being
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: carried in the door. Easter came, and with it a
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: beautiful rose tree. I thanked my friend the following day
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: and told her it was just what I had wanted.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: She replied, I didn't send you a rose tree. I
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: sent you lilies. The man had mixed the order and
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: sent me a rose tree, simply because I had started
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: the law in action, and I had to have a
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: rose tree. Nothing stands between man and his highest ideals,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: and every desire of his heart but doubt and fear.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: When man can wish without worrying, every desire will be
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: instantly fulfilled. I will explain more fully in a following
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: chapter the scientific reason for this, and how fear must
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: be erased from the consciousness. It is man's only enemy,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: fear of lack, fear of failure, fear of sickness, fear
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: of loss, and a feeling of insecurity on some plane.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Jesus Christ said, why are ye fearful, O, ye of
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: little faith matt eight twenty six. So we can see
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: we must substitute faith for fear, for fear is only
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: inverted faith. It is faith in evil instead of good.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: The object of the game of life is to see
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: clearly one's good and to obliterate all mental pictures of evil.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: This must be done by impressing the subconscious mind with
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: a realization of good. A very brilliant man who has
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: attained great success told me he had suddenly erased all
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: fear from his consciousness by reading a sign which hung
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: in a room. He saw printed in large letters this statement,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: why worry, it will probably never happen. These words were
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: stamped indelibly upon his subconscious mind, and he has now
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: a firm conviction that only good can come into his life. Therefore,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: only good can manifest. In the following chapter one will
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: deal with the different methods of impressing the subconscious mind.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: It is man's faithful servant, but one must be careful
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: to give it the right orders. Man has ever a
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: silent listener at his side. His subconscious mind. Every thought,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: every word is impressed upon it and carried out in
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: amazing detail. It is like a singer making a record
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: on the sensitive disc of the phonographic plate. Every note
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: and tone of the singer's voice is registered. If he
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: coughs or hesitates, it is registered. Also. So let us
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: break all the old bad records in the subconscious mind,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: the records of our lives, which we do not wish
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: to keep, and make new and beautiful ones. Speak these
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: words aloud with power and conviction. I now smash and
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: demolish by my spoken word, every untrue record in my
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: sub conscious mind. They shall return to the dust heap
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: of their native nothingness, For they came from my own
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: vain imaginings. I now make my perfect records through the Christ,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: within the records of health, wealth, love, and perfect self expression.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: This is the square of life, the game completed. In
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: the following chapters, I will show how man can change
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: his conditions by changing his words. Any man who does
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: not know the power of the word is behind the times.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: Death and life are in the power of the tongue.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: Proverbs eighteen, verse twenty one two. The law of prosperity. Yea,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: the Almighty shall be thy defense, and thou shalt have
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: plenty of silver. One of the greatest messages given to
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: the race through the scriptures is that God is man's supply,
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: and that man can release through his spoken word all
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: that belongs to him by divine right. He must, however,
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: have perfect faith in his spoken word. Isaiah said, my
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: words shall not return unto me void, but shall accomplish
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: that whereunto it is sent. We know now that words
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: and thoughts are a tremendous vibratory force, ever molding man's
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: body and affairs. A woman came to me in great
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: distress and said she was to be sued on the
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: fifteenth of the month for three thousand dollars. She knew
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: no way of getting the money, and was in despair.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: I told her God was her supply, and that there
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: is a supply for every demand. So I spoke the word.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: I gave thanks that the woman would receive three thousand
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: dollars at the right time, in the right way. I
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: told her she must have perfect faith and act her
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: perfect faith. The fifteenth came, but no money had materialized.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: She called me on the phone and asked what she
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: was to do. I replied, it is Saturday, so they
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: won't sue you to day. Your part is to act
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: rich thereby showing perfect faith that you will receive it
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: by Monday. She asked me to lunch with her to
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: keep up her courage. When I joined her at a restaurant,
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: I said, this is no time to economize, order an
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: expensive luncheon. Act as if you have already received the
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: three thousand dollars. All things, whatsoever ye ask in prayer,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: believing ye shall receive, you must act as if you
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: had already received. The next morning, she called me on
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: the phone and asked me to stay with her during
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: the day. I said, no, you are divinely protected and
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: God is never too late. In the evening, she phoned again,
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: greatly excited and said, my dear, a miracle has happened.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: I was sitting in my room. This morning, when the
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: door bell rang, I said to the maid, don't let
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: any one in. The maid, however, looked out the window
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: and said, it's your cousin with the long white beard.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: So I said, CALLI back. I would like to see him.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: He was just turning the corner when he heard the
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: maid's voice, and he came back. He talked for about
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: an hour, and just as he was leaving, he said, oh,
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: by the way, how our finances. I told him I
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: needed the money, and he said, why, my dear, I
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: will give you three thousand dollars the first of the month.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: I didn't like to tell him I was going to
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: be sued. What shall I do. I won't receive it
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: till the first of the month, and I must have
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: it tomorrow. I said, I'll keep on treating. I said,
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: spirit is never too late. I give thanks she has
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: received the money on the invisible plane and that it
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: manifests on time. The next morning, her cousin called her
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: up and said, come to my office this morning and
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: I will give you the money. That afternoon, she had
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: three thousand dollars to her credit in the bank and
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: wrote checks as rapidly as her excitement would permit. If
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: one asks for success and prepares for failure, he will
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: get the situation he has prepared for. For example, a
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: man came to me asking me to speak the word
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: that a certain debt would be wiped out. I found
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: he spent his time planning what he would say to
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: the man when he did not pay his bill, there
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: by neutralizing my words. He should have seen himself paying
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: the debt. We have a wonderful illustration of this in
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: the Bible, relating to the three kings who were in
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: the desert without water for their men and horses. They
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: consulted the prophet Alicia, who gave them this astonishing message.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: Thus seth the Lord. Ye shall not see wind, neither
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: shall ye see rain. Yet make this valley full of ditches.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: Man must prepare for the thing he has asked for
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: when there isn't the slightest sign of it in sight.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: For example, a woman found it necessary to look for
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: an apartment during the year when there was a great
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: shortage of apartments in New York. It was considered almost
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: an impossibility, and her friends were sorry for her, and in
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: dead said, isn't it too bad? You'll have to store
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: your furniture and live in a hotel. She replied, you
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: needn't feel sorry for me. I'm a superman and I'll
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: get an apartment. She spoke the words infinite spirit opened
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: the way for the right apartment. She knew there was
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: a supply for every demand, and that she was unconditioned
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: working on the spiritual plane, and that one with God
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: is a majority. She had contemplated buying new blankets when
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: the tempter the adverse thought or reasoning mind, suggested, don't
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: buy the blankets. Perhaps, after all, you won't get an
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: apartment and you will have no use for them. She
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: promptly replied to herself, I'll dig my ditches by buying
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: the blankets. So she prepared for the apartment, acted as
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: though she already had it. She found one in a
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: miraculous way, and it was given to her. Although there
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: were over two hundred other applicants. The blankets showed active faith.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: It is needless to say that the ditches dug by
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: the three kings in the desert were filled to overflowing.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: Read second Kings. Getting into the spiritual swing of things
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: is no easy matter for the average person. The adverse
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: thoughts of doubt and fear surge from the subconscious. They
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: are the army of the aliens, which must be put
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: to flight. This explains why it is so often darkest
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: before the dawn. A big demonstration is usually preceded by
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: tormenting thoughts. Having made a statement of high spiritual truth,
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: one challenges the old beliefs in the subconscious, and error
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: is exposed to be put out. This is the time
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: when one must make his affirmations of truth repeatedly, and
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: rejoice and give thanks that he has already received before
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: ye call I shall answer. This means that every good
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: and perfect gift is already man's awaiting his recognition. Man
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: can only receive what he sees himself receiving. The children
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: of Israel were told that they could of all the
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: land they could see. This is true of every man.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: He has only the land within his own mental vision.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: Every great work, every big accomplishment, has been brought into
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: manifestation through holding to the vision. And often just before
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: the big achievement comes apparent failure and discouragement. The children
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: of Israel, when they reached the promised land, were afraid
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: to go in, for they said it was filled with
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: giants who made them feel like grasshoppers, And there we
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: saw the giants, and we were in our own sight
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: as grasshoppers. This is almost every man's experience. However, the
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: one who knows spiritual law is undisturbed by appearance and
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: rejoices while he is yet in captivity, that is, he
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: holds to his vision and gives thanks that the end
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: is accomplished he has received. Jesus Christ gave a wonderful
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: example of this. He said to his disciples, say not ye,
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: there are yet fourms months, and then cometh the harvest. Behold,
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: I say unto you. Lift up your eyes and look
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: on the fields, for they are ripe already to harvest.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: His clear vision pierced the world of matter, and he
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: saw clearly the fourth dimensional world, things as they really are,
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: perfect and complete in divine mind. So man must ever
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: hold the vision of his journey's end and demand the
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: manifestation of that which he has already received. It may
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: be his perfect health, love, supply, self expression, home, or friends.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: They are all finished and perfect ideas registered in divine
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: mind Man's own super conscious mind, and must come through him,
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: not to him. For example, a man came to me
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: asking for treatments for success. It was imperative that he
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: raise within a certain time fifty thousand dollars for his business.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: The time limit was almost up when he came to
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: me in despair. No one wanted to invest in his enterprise,
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: and the bank had flatly refused alone, I replied, I
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: suppose you lost your temper while at the bank. Therefore
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: your power. You can control any situation if you first
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: control yourself. Go back to the bank, I added, and
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: I will treat. My treatment was you are identified in
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: love with the spirit of everyone connected with the bank.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: Let the divine idea come out of this situation. He replied, woman,
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: you are talking about an impossibility. Tomorrow is Saturday. The
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: bank closes at twelve, and my train won't get me
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: there until ten, and the time limit is up tomorrow,
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: and anyway, they won't do it. It's too late, I replied.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: God doesn't need any time and is never too late.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: With him, all things are possible. I added, I don't
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: know anything about business, but I know all about God.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: He replied. It all sounds fine when I sit here
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: listening to you, but when I go out, it's terrible.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: He lived in a distant city, and I did not
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: hear from him for a week. Then came a letter.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: It read, you were right. I raised the money and
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: will never again doubt the truth of all that you
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: told me. I saw him a few weeks later and
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: I said, what happened. You evidently had plenty of time
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: after all, He replied, My train was late, and I
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: got there just fifteen minutes to twelve. I walked into
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: the bank quietly and said, I have come for the loan,
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: and they gave it to me without a question. It
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: was the last fifteen minutes of the time allotted to him,
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: and infinite Spirit was not too late. In this instance,
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: the man could never have demonstrated alone. He needed someone
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: to help him hold to the vision. This is what
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: one man can do for another. Jesus Christ knew the
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: truth of this when he said, if two of you
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask,
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: it shall be done for them of my Father, which
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: is in Heaven. One gets too close to his own
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: affairs and becomes doubtful and fearful. The friend or healer
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: sees clearly the success, health or prosperity, and never wavers
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: because he is not close to the situation. It is
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: much easier to demonstrate for someone else than for one's self.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: So a person should not hesitate to ask for help
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: if he feels himself wavering. A keen observer of life
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: one said, no man can fail if some one person
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: sees him successful. Such is the power of the vision.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: And many a great man has owed his success to
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: a wife or sister, or a friend who believed in
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: him and held without wavering, to the perfect pattern free
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: the power of the word. By thy words, thou shalt
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: A person, knowing the power of the word, becomes very
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: careful of his conversation. He has only to watch the
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: reaction of his words to know that they do not
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: retire turn void. Through his spoken word, man is continually
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: making laws for himself. I knew a man who said,
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: I always miss a car. It invariably pulls out just
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: as I arrive. His daughter said, I always catch a car.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: It's sure to come just as I get there. This
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: occurred for years. Each had made a separate law for himself,
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: one of failure, one of success. This is the psychology
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: of superstitions. The horseshoe or rabbit's foot contains no power,
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: but man's spoken word and belief that it will bring
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: him good luck creates expectancy in a subconscious mind and
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: attracts a lucky situation. I find, however, this will not work.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: When man has advanced spiritually and knows a higher law,
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: one cannot turn back and must put away graven images.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: For example, two men in my class had had great
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: success in business for several months, when suddenly everything went
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: to smash. We tried to analyze the situation, and I
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: found instead of making their affirmations and looking to God
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: for success and prosperity, they had each bought a lucky monkey.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: I said, oh, I see you have been trusting in
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: the lucky monkeys instead of God. Put away the lucky
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: monkeys and call on the law of forgiveness, for man
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: has power to forgive or neutralize his mistakes. They decided
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: to throw the lucky monkeys down a coal hole, and
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: all went well again. This does not mean, however, that
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: one should throw away every lucky ornament or horse shoe
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: about the house. But he must recognize that the power
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: back of it is the one and only power God,
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: and that the object simply gives him a feeling of expectancy.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: I was with a friend one day who was in
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: deep despair. In crossing the street, she picked up a horseshoe.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: Immediately she was filled with joy and hope. She said
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: God had sent her the horse shoe in order to
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: keep up her courage. It was indeed, at that moment
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: about the only thing that could have registered in her consciousness.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: Her hope became faith, and she ultimately made a wonderful demonstration.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: I wished to make the point clear that the men
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: previously mentioned were depending on the monkeys alone, while this
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: woman recognized the power back of the horseshoe. I know
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: in my own case it took a long while to
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: get out of a belief that a certain thing brought disappointment.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: If the thing happened, disappointment invariably followed. I found the
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: only way I could make a change in the subconscious
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: was by asserting there are not two powers. There is
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: only one power, God. Therefore there are no disappointments, and
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: this thing means a happy surprise. I noticed a change
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: at once, and happy surprises commenced coming my way. I
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: have a friend who said nothing could induce her to
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: walk under a ladder, I said, if you are afraid,
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: you are giving into a belief in two powers, good
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: and evil, instead of one. As God is absolute, there
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: can be no opposing power unless man makes the false
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: of evil for himself. To show you believe in only
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: one power, God, and that there is no power or
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: reality in evil. Walk under the next ladder, you see.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: Soon after she went to her bank, she wished to
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: open her box in a safety deposit vault, and there
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: stood a ladder on her pathway. It was impossible to
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: reach the box without passing under the ladder. She quailed
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: with fear and turned back. She could not face the
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: lion on her pathway. However, when she reached the street,
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: my words rang in her ears, and she decided to
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: return and walk under it. It was a big moment
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: in her life, for ladders had held her in bondage
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: for years. She retraced her steps to the vault, and
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: the ladder was no longer there. This so often happens.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: If one is willing to do a thing he is
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: afraid to do, he does not have to. It is
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: the law of non resistance which is so little understood.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: Someone has said that courage contains genius and magic face
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: a situation fearlessly, and there is no situation to face,
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: it falls away of its own weight. The explanation is
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: that fear attracted the latter on the woman's pathway, and
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: fearlessness removed it. Thus, the invisible forces are ever working
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: for man, who is always pulling the strings himself, though
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: he does not know it. Owing to the vibratory power
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: of words, whatever man voices, he begins to attract. People
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: who continually speak of disease invariably attract it. After man
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: knows the truth, he cannot be too careful of his words.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: For example, I have a friend who often says on
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: the phone, do come to see me and have a fine,
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: old fashioned chat. This old fashioned chat means an hour
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: of about five hundred to a thousand destructive words, the
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: principal topics being loss, lack, failure, and sickness. I reply, no,
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: I thank you. I've had enough old fashioned chats in
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: my life. They are too expensive. But I will be
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: glad to have a new fashion chat and talk about
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: what we want, not what we don't want. There is
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: an old saying that man only dares use his words
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: for three purposes to heal bless or prosper. What man
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: says of others will be said of him, and what
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: he wishes for another, he is wishing for himself. Curses
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: like chickens come home to roost. If a man wishes
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: someone bad luck, he is sure to attract bad luck himself.
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: If he wishes to aid someone to success, he is
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: wishing in aiding himself to success. The body may be
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: renewed and transformed through the spoken word and clear vision,
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: and disease be completely wiped out of the consciousness. The
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: metaphysician knows that all disease has a mental correspondence, and
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: in order to heal the body, one must first heal
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: the soul. The soul is the subconscious mind and it
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: must be saved from wrong thinking. In the twenty third Psalm,
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: we read he restoreth my soul. This means that the
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: subconscious mind or soul must be restored with the right ideas,
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: and the mystical marriage is the marriage of the soul,
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: the spirit, or the subconscious and super conscious mind. They
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: must be one when the subconscious is flooded with the
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: perfect ideas of the super conscious. God and Man are one.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: I and the Father are one that is. He is
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: one with the realm of perfect ideas. He is the
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: man made in God's likeness and image imagination, and is
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: given power and dominion over all created things, his mind, body,
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: and affairs. It is safe to say that all sickness
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: and unhappiness come from the violation of the law of love,
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: a new commandment, I give unto you love one another,
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: and the game of life, love or good will takes
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: every trick. For example, a woman I know had for
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: years in appearance of a terrible skin disease. The doctors
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: told her it was incurable, and she was in despair.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: She was on the stage, and she feared she would
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: soon have to give up her profession, and she had
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: no other means of support. She, however, procured a good
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: engagement and on the opening night, made a great hit.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: She received flattering notices from the critics and was joyful
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: and elated. The next day she received a notice of dismissal.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: A man in the cast had been jealous of her
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: success and had caused her to be sent away. She
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: felt hatred and resentment taking complete possession of her, and
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: she cried out, O God, don't let me hate that man.
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: That night, she worked for hours in the silence. She said,
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: I soon came into a very deep silence. I seemed
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: to be at peace with myself, with the man, and
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: with the whole world. I continued this for two following nights,
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: and on the third day I found I was healed
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: completely of the skin disease. In asking for love or
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: good will, she had fulfilled the law. For love is
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: the fulfilling of the law, and the disease, which came
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: from subconscious resentment, was wiped out. Continual criticism produces rheumatism
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: as critical Inharmonious thoughts cause unnatural deposits in the blood
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: which settle in the joints. False growths are caused by jealousy, hatred, unforgiveness, fear,
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: et cetera. Every disease is caused by a mind not
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: at ease. I said once in my class, there is
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: no use asking anyone what's the matter with you? We
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: might just as well say, who's the matter with you?
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: Unforgiveness is the most prolific cause of disease. It will
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: harden arteries or liver, and affect the eye sight. In
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: its train are endless ills. Called on a woman one
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: day who said she was ill from having eaten a
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: poisoned oyster. I replied, oh, no, the oyster was harmless.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: You poison the oyster. What's the matter with you? She answered, oh,
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: about nineteen people. She had quarreled with nineteen people and
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: had become so inharmonious that she attracted the wrong oyster.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: Any inharmony on the external indicates there is mental in
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: harmony as the within, so the without. Man's only enemies
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: are within himself, and a man's foes shall be they
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: of his own household. Personality is one of the last
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: enemies to be overcome, as this planet is taking its
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: initiation in love. It was Christ's message peace on earth,
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: good will towards man. The enlightened man therefore endeavors to
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: perfect himself upon his neighbor. His work is with himself
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: to send out good will and blessings to every man.
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: And the marvelous thing is that if one blesses a man,
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: he has no power to harm him. For example, a
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: man came to me asking to treat for success in business.
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: He was selling machinery, and a rival appeared on the
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: scene with what he proclaimed was a better machine, and
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: my friend feared defeat. I said, first of all, we
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: must wipe out all fear and know that God protects
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: your interests, and that the divine idea must come out
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: of the situation. That is, the right machine will be
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: sold by the right man to the right man. And
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: I added, don't hold one critical thought towards that man.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: Bless him all day, and be willing not to sell
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: your machine if it isn't the divine idea. So he
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: went to the meeting fearless and non resistant, and blessing
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: the other man. He said, the outcome was very remarkable.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: The other man's machine refused to work, and he sold
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: his without the slightest difficulty. But I say unto you,
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: love your enemies, bless tst them that curse you, Do
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: good to them that hate you, and pray for them
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: which spitefully use you and persecute you. Good will produces
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: a great aura of protection about the one who sends it,
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: and no weapon that is formed against him shall prosper.
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: In other words, love and good will destroy the enemies
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: within one's self. Therefore one has no enemies on the external.
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: There is peace on earth for him who sends goodwill
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: to man. For the law of non resistance resist not evil,
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: Nothing on earth can resist an absolutely non resistant person.
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: The Chinese say that water is the most powerful element
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: because it is perfectly non resistant. It can wear away
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: a rock and sweep all before it. Jesus Christ said,
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: resist not evil, for he knew in reality there is
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: no evil. Therefore nothing to resist evil has come of
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: man's vain imagination or a belief in two powers, good
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: and evil. There is an old legend that Adam and
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: Eve aate of Maya the tree of illusion, and saw
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: two powers instead of one power God. Therefore evil is
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: a false law man has made for himself through psychoma
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: or soul sleep. Soul sleep means that man's soul has
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: been hypnotized by the race belief of sin, sickness, and death,
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: et cetera, which is carnal or mortal thought, and his
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: affairs have outpictured his illusions. We have read in a
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: preceding chapter that man's soul is his subconscious mind, and
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: whatever he feels deeply good or bad, is outpictured by
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: that faithful servant. His body and affairs show forth what
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: he has been picturing. The sick man has pictured sickness,
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: the poor man poverty, the rich man wealth. People often say,
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: why does a little child attract illness when it is
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: too young, evil and to know what it means. I
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: answer that children are sensitive and receptive to the thoughts
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: of others about them, and often outpicture the fears of
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: their parents. I heard a metaphysician once say, if you
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: do not run your subconscious mind yourself, some one else
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: will run it for you. Mothers often unconsciously attract illness
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: and disaster to their children by continually holding them in
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: thoughts of fear and watching for symptoms. For example, a
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: friend asked a woman if her little girl had had
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: the measles. She replied promptly not yet. This implied that
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: she was expecting the illness and therefore preparing the way
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: for what she did not want for herself and child. However,
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: the man who is centered and established in right thinking,
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: the man who sends out only good will to his
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: fellow man, and who is without fear, cannot be touched
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: or influenced by the negative thoughts of others. In fact,
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: he could then receive only good thoughts, as he himself
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: sends forth only good thoughts. Resistance is hell, for it
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: places man in a state of torment. A metaphysician once
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: gave me a wonderful recipe for taking every trick in
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: the game of life. It is the acme of non resistance.
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: He gave it in this way. At one time in
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: my life, I baptized children, and of course they had
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: many names. Now I no longer baptize children, but I
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: baptize events. But I give every event the same name.
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: If I have a failure, I baptize its success in
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: the name of the Father, and of the Son, and
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: of the Holy Ghost. In this we see the great
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: law of transmutation founded on non resistance. Through his spoken word,
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: every failure was transmuted into success. For example, a woman
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: who required money and who knew the spiritual law of opulence,
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: was thrown continually in a business way with a man
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: who made her feel very poor. He talked black in limitation,
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: and she can meant to catch his poverty thoughts. So
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: she disliked him and blamed him for her failure. She
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: knew in order to demonstrate her supply, she must first
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: feel that she had received a feeling of opulence must
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: precede its manifestation. It dawned upon her one day that
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: she was resisting the situation and seeing two powers instead
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: of one. So she blessed the man and baptized the
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: situation success. She affirmed, as there is only one power, God,
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: This man is here for my good and my prosperity,
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: just what he did not seem to be. Therefore, soon
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: after that she met through this man a woman who
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: gave her for a service, rendered several thousand dollars, and
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: the man moved to a distant city and faded harmoniously
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: from her life. Make the statement, every man is a
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: golden link in the chain of my good, for all
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: men are God in manifestation, awaiting the opportunity given by
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: man himself to serve the divine plan of his life.
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: Bless your enemy, and you rob him of his ammunition,
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: his arrows will be transmuted into blessings. This law is
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: true of nations as well as individuals. Bless a nation,
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: send love and goodwill to every inhabitant, and it is
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: robbed of its power to harm. Man can only get
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: the right idea of non resistance through spiritual understanding. My
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: students have often said, I don't want to be a
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: doormat I reply, When you use non resistance with wisdom,
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: no one will ever be able to walk over you.
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: Another example, one day I was impatiently awaiting an important
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: telephone call. I resisted every call that came in and
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: made no outgoing calls myself, reasoning that it might interfere
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: with the one I was awaiting. Instead of saying, divine
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: ideas and never conflict, the call will come at the
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: right time, leaving it to infinite intelligence to arrange, I
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: commenced to manage things myself. I made the battle mind
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: not God's, and remain ten and anxious. The bell did
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: not ring for about an hour, and I glanced at
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: the phone and found the receiver had been off that
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: length of time and the phone was disconnected. My anxiety, fear,
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: and belief in interference had brought on a total eclipse
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: of the telephone. Realizing what I had done, I commenced,
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: blessing the situation at once. I baptized it success and
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: affirmed I cannot lose any call that belongs to me
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: by divine right, I am under grace and not under law.
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: A friend rushed out to the nearest telephone to notify
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: the company to reconnect. She entered a crowded grocery, but
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: the proprietor left his customers and attended to the call himself.
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: My phone was connected at once, and two minutes later
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: I received a very important call, and about an hour afterward,
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: the one I had been awaiting one's ship's come in
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: over a calm sea. So long as man resists a situation,
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: he will have it with him. If he runs away
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: from it, it will run after him. For example, I
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: repeated this to a woman one day, and she replied,
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: how true that is. I was unhappy at home. I
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: disliked my mother, who was critical and domineering. So I
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: ran away and was married. But I married my mother,
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: for my husband was exactly like my mother, and I
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: had the same situation to face again. Agree with thine
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: adversary quickly. That means agree that the adverse situation is good.
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: Be undisturbed by it, and it falls away of its
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: own weight. None of these things move me. Is a
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: wonderful affirmation. The inharmonious situation comes from some in harmony
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: within man himself. When there is in him no emotional
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: response to an inharmonious situation, it fades away forever from
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: his pathway, so we see man's work is ever with himself.
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: People have said to me, give treatments to change my
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: husband or my brother. I reply, no, I will give
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: treatments to change you. When you change your husband and
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: your brother will change. One of my students was in
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: the habit of lying. I told her it was a
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: failure method, and if she lied, she would be lied to.
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: She replied, I don't care. I can't possibly get along
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: without lying. One day she was speaking on the phone
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: to a man with whom she was very much in love.
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: She turned to me and said, I don't trust him.
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: I know he's lying to me. I replied, well, you
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: lie yourself, so some one has to lie to you,
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: and you will be sure it will be just the
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: person you want the truth from. Some time after that,
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: I saw her and she said, I'm cured of lying.
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: I questioned, what cured you? She replied, I have been
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: living with a woman who lied worse than I did.
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: One is often cured of his faults by seeing them
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: in others. Life is a mirror, and we find only
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: ourselves reflected in our associates. Living in the past is
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: a failure method and a violation of spiritual law. Jesus
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: Christ said, behold, now is the accepted time. Now is
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: the day of salvation. Lot's wife looked back and was
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: turned into a pillar of salt. The robbers of time
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: are the past and the future. Man should bless the
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: past and forget it if it keeps him in bondage,
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: and bless the future, knowing it has in store for
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: him endless joys. But live fully in the now. For example,
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: a woman came to me complaining that she had no
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: money with which to buy Christmas gifts. She said, last
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: year was so different. I had plenty of money and
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: gave lovely presents, and this year I have scarcely assent.
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: I replied, you will never demonstrate money while you are
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: pathetic and live in the past. Lie fully in the
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: now and get ready to give Christmas presents. Did your
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: ditches and the money will come, she exclaimed, I know
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: what to do. I will buy some tinsel, twine, Christmas
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: seals and wrapping paper. I replied, do that and the
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: presents will come and stick themselves to the Christmas seals.
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: This too was showing financial fearlessness and faith in God,
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: as the reasoning mind said, keep every cent you have
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: as you are not sure you will get any more.
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: She bought the seals, paper and twine, and a few
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: days before Christmas received a gift of several hundred dollars.
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: Buying the seals and twine had impressed the subconscious with
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: expectancy and opened the way for the manifestation of the money.
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: She purchased all the presents in plenty of time. Man
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: must live suspended in the moment. Look well, therefore to
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: this day, such is the salutation of the dawn. He
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: must be spiritually alert, ever, awaiting his leads, taking advantage
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: of every opportunity. One day I said continually silently, infinite spirit,
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: don't let me miss a trick, And something very important
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: was told to me that evening. It is most necessary
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: to begin the day with right words. Make an affirmation
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: immediately upon waking. For example, I will be done this day.
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: To day is a day of completion. I give thanks
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: for this perfect day. Miracles shall follow miracle and wonders
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: shall never cease. Make this a habit, and one will
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: see wonders and miracles come into his life. One morning
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: I picked up a book and read, look with wonder
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: at that which is before you. It seemed to be
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: my message for the day, so I repeat it again
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: and again look with wonder at that which is before you.
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: At about noon, a large sum of money was given me,
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: which I had been desiring for a certain purpose. In
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: a following chapter, I will give affirmations that I have
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: found most effective. However, one should never use an affirmation
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: unless it is absolutely satisfying and convincing to his own consciousness,
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: and often an affirmative is changed to suit different people.
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: For example, the following has brought success to many. I
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: have a wonderful work in a wonderful way. I give
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: wonderful service for wonderful pay. I gave the first two
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: lines to one of my students, and she added the
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: last two. It made a most powerful statement, as there
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: should always be perfect payment for perfect service, and a
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: rhyme sinks easily into the subconscious. She went about singing
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: it aloud, and soon did receive wonderful work in a
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: wonderful way, and gave wonderful service for wonderful pay. Another student,
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: a business man, took it and changed the word work
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: to business. He repeated, I have a wonderful business in
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: a wonderful way, and I give wonderful service for wonderful pay.
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: That afternoon he made a forty one thousand dollars deal,
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: though there had been no activity in his affairs for months.
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: Every affirmation must be carefully worded and completely cover the ground.
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: For example, I knew a woman who was in great
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: need and made a demand for work. She received a
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: great deal of work, but was never paid anything. She
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: now knows to add wonderful service for wonderful pay. It
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: is man's divine right to have plenty more than enough.
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: His barns should be full, and his cup should flow over.
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: This is God's idea for man. And when man breaks
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: down the barriers of lack in his own consciousness, the
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: golden age will be his, and every righteous desire of
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: his heart fulfilled. Five. The law of karma and the
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: law of forgiveness. Man receives only that which he gives.
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: The game of life is a game of boomerangs, Man's thoughts, deeds,
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: and words returned to him sooner or later with astounding accuracy.
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: This is the law of karma, which is sen secret. Four.
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: Come back whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: For example, a friend told me this story of herself.
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: Illustrating the law, she said, I make all my karma
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: on my aunt. Whatever I say to her. Some one
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: says to me, I am often irritable at home, And
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: one day said to my aunt, who was talking to
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: me during dinner, no more talk. I wish to eat
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: in peace. The following day, I was lunching with a
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: woman with whom I wished to make a great impression.
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: I was talking animatedly when she said, no more talk,
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: I wish to eat in peace. My friend is high
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: in consciousness, so her karma returns much more quickly than
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: to one on the mental plane. The more man knows,
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: the more he is responsible for, and a person with
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: a knowledge of spiritual law which he does not practice,
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: suffers greatly in consequence. The fear of the Lord Law
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: is the beginning of which wisdom. If we read the
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: word Lord Law, it will make many passages in the
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: Bible much clearer. Vengeance is mine. I will repay set
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: the Lord Law. It is the law which takes vengeance.
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: Not God. God sees man perfect, created in his own image, imagination,
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: and given power and dominion. This is the perfect idea
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: of man registered in divine mind, awaiting man's recognition. For
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: man can only be what he sees himself to be,
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: and only attain what he sees himself attaining. Nothing, ever,
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: happens without an onlooker. Is an ancient saying. Man sees
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: first his failure or success, his joy or sorrow, before
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: it swings into visibility from the scenes set in his
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: own imagination. We have observed this in the mother picturing
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: disease for her child, or a woman seeing success for
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: her husband. Jesus Christ said, and ye shall know the truth,
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: and the truth shall make you free. So we see
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: freedom from all unhappy conditions comes through knowledge, a knowledge
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: of spiritual law. Obedience precedes authority, and the law obeys
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: man when he obeys the law. The law of electricity
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: must be obeyed before it becomes man's servant. When handled ignorantly,
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: it becomes man's deadly foe. So with the laws of mind.
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: For example, a woman with a strong personal will wished
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: she owned the house which belonged to an acquaintance, and
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: she often made mental pictures of herself living in the house.
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: In the course of time, the man died and she
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: moved into the house. Several years afterwards, coming into the
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: knowledge of spiritual law. She said to me, do you
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: think I had anything to do with that man's death?
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: I replied, yes, your desire was so strong everything made
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: way for it. But you paid your karmic debt. Your husband,
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: whom you loved devotedly, died soon after, and the house
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: was a white elephant on your hand for years. The
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: original owner, however, could not have been affected by her
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: thoughts had he been positive in the truth, nor her husband,
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: but they were both under karmic law. The woman should
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: have said, feeling the great desire for the house, infinite intelligence,
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: give me the right house equally as charming as this,
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: the house which is mine by divine right. The divine
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: selection would have given perfect satisfaction and brought good to all.
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: The divine pattern is the only safe pattern to work by.
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: Desire is a tremendous force and must be directed in
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: the right channels, or chaos ensues. In demonstrating, the most
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: important step is the first step to ask. A right
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: man should always demand only that which is his by
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: divine right. To go back to the illustration, had the
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: woman taken this attitude, if this house I desire is mine,
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: I cannot lose it. If it is not give me
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: its equivalent. The man might have decided to move out
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: harmoniously had it been the divine selection for her, or
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: another house would have been substituted. Anything forced into manifestation
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: through personal will is always ill God and has ever
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: bad success. Man is admonished my will be done, not thine.
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: And the curious thing is man always gets just what
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: he desires when he does relinquish personal will, thereby enabling
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: infinite intelligence to work through him. Stand ye still and
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: see the salvation of the Lord law. For example, a
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: woman came to me in great distress. Her daughter had
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: determined to take a very hazardous trip, and the mother
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: was filled with fear. She said she had used every argument,
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: had pointed out the dangers to be encountered, and forbidden
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: her to go. But the daughter became more and more
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: rebellious and determined. I said to the mother, you are
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: forcing your personal will upon your daughter, which you have
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: no right to do, and your fear of the trip
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: is only attracting it. For man attracts what he fears.
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: I added, let go and take your mental hands off,
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: put it in God's hands, and use this statement. I
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: put this situation in the hands of infinite love and wisdom.
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: If this trip is the divine plan, I bless it
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: and no longer resist. But if it is not divinely planned,
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: I give thanks that it is now dissolved and dissipated.
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: A day or two after that, her daughter said to
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: her mother, I have given up the trip, and the
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: situation returned to its native nothingness. It is learning to
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: stand still, which seems so difficult for man. I will
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: deal more fully with this law in the chapter on
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: non resistance. I will give another example of sowing and reaping,
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: which came in the most curious way. A woman came
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: to me saying she had received a counterfeit twenty dollar
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: bill given to her at the bank. She was much disturbed,
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: for she said, the people at the bank will never
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: acknowledge their mistake. I replied, let us analyze the situation
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: and find out why you attracted it. She thought a
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: few moments and exclaimed, I know it. I sent a
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: friend a lot of stage money just for a joke.
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: So the law had sent her some stage money for
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: it doesn't know anything about jokes. I said, Now we
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: will call on the law of forgiveness and neutralize the situation.
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: Christianity is founded upon the law of forgiveness. Christ has
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: redeemed us from the curse of the karmic law, and
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: the Christ within each man is his redeemer and salvation
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: from all inharmonious conditions. So I said, Infinite Spirit, we
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: call on the law of forgiveness and give thanks that
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: she is under grace and not under law, and cannot
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: lose this twenty dollars, which is hers by divine right. Now,
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: I said, go back to the bank and tell them
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: fearlessly that it was given you thereby mistake. She obeyed,
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: and to her surprise, they apologized and gave her another bill,
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: treating her most courteously. So knowledge of the law gives
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: man power to rub out his mistakes. Man cannot force
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: the external to be what he is not. If he
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: desires riches, he must be rich first in consciousness. For example,
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: a woman came to me asking treatment for prosperity. She
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: did not take much interest in her household affairs, and
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: her home was in great disorder. I said to her,
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: if you wish to be rich, you must be orderly.
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: All men with great wealth are orderly, and order is
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: Heaven's first law. I added, you will never become rich
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: with a burnt match in the pincushion. She had a
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: good sense of humor and commenced, immediately putting her house
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: in order. She re arranged furniture, straightened out bureau drawers,
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: cleaned rugs, and soon made a big financial demonstration a
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: gift from a relative. The woman herself became made over
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: and keeps herself keyed up financially by being ever watchful
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: of the external and expecting prosperity, knowing God is her supply.
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: Many people are in ignorance of the fact that gifts
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: and things are investments, and that hoarding and saving invariably
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: lead to loss. There is that scattereth and yet increaseth,
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: And there is that withhold death more than his meat,
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: but it tendeth to poverty. For example, I knew a
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: man who wanted to buy a fur lined overcoat. He
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: and his wife went to various shops, but there was
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: none he wanted. He said they were all too cheap looking.
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: At last, he was shown one the salesman said was
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: valued at a thousand dollars, but which the manager would
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: sell him for five hundred dollars as it was late
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: in the season, his financial possessions amounted to about seven
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: hundred dollars. The reasoning mind would have said, you can't
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: afford to spend nearly all you have on a coat,
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: but he was very intuitive and never reasoned. He turned
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: to his wife and said, if I get this coat,
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: I'll make a ton of money. So his wife consented weakly.
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: About a month later he received a ten thousand dollar commission.
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: The coat made him feel so rich it linked him
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: with success and prosperity. Without the coat, he would not
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: have received the commission. It was an investment paying large dividends.
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: If man ignores these leadings to spend or to give
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: the same amount of money will go in an uninteresting
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: or unhappy way. For example, a woman told me on
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: Thanksgiving Day, she informed her family that they could not
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: afford a Thanksgiving dinner. She had the money, but decided
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: to save it. A few days later, someone entered her
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: room and took from the bureau draw the exact amount
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: the dinner would have cost. The law always stands back
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: of the man who spends fearlessly with wisdom. For example,
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: one of my students was shopping with her little nephew.
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: The child clamored for a toy, which she told him
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: she could not afford to buy. She realized suddenly that
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: she was seeking lack and not recognizing God as her supply.
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: So she bought the toy, and on her way home,
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: picked up in the street the exact amount of money
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: she had paid for it. Man's supply is inexhaustible and
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: unfailing when fully trusted. But faith or trust must precede
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: the demonstration. According to your faith, be it unto you.
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: Faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: of things not see. For faith holds the vision steady,
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: and the adverse pictures are dissolved and dissipated. And in
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: due season we shall reap if we faint not. Jesus
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: Christ brought the good news, the gospel that there was
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: a higher law than the law of karma, and that
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: that law transcends the law of karma. It is the
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: law of grace or forgiveness. It is the law which
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: frees man from the law of cause and effect, the
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: law of consequence. Under grace and not under law. We
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: are told that on this plane man reaps where he
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: has not sown. The gifts of God God are simply
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: poured out upon him. All that the kingdom affords is his.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: This continued state of bliss awaits the man who has
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: overcome the race or world thought. In the world thought
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: there is tribulation. But Jesus Christ said, be of good cheer,
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: I have overcome the world. The world thought is that
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: of sin, sickness, and death. He saw their absolute unreality
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: and said, sickness and sorrow shall pass away. In death itself,
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: the last enemy be overcome. We know now from a
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: scientific standpoint that death could be overcome by stamping the
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: subconscious mind with the conviction of eternal youth and eternal life.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: The subconscious, being simply power without direction, carries out orders
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: without questioning, working under the direction of the super conscious,
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: the Christ or God within man, the resurrection of the
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: body would be accomplished. Man would no longer throw off
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: his body in death. It would be he transformed into
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: the body electric sun. By Walt Whitman, for Christianity is
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: founded upon the forgiveness of sins and an empty tomb
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: six casting the burden impressing the subconscious. When man knows
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: his own powers and the workings of his mind, his
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: great desire is to find an easy and quick way
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: to impress the subconscious with good, for simply an intellectual
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: knowledge of the truth will not bring results. In my
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: own case, I found the easiest way is in casting
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: the burden. A metaphysician once explained it in this manner.
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: He said, the only thing which gives anything weighed in
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: nature is the law of gravitation. And if a boulder
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: could be taken high above the planet, there would be
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: no weight in that boulder. And that is what Jesus
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: Christ meant when he said, my yoke is easy and
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: my burden is light. He had overcome the world vibration
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: and functioned in the fourth dimensional realm, where there is
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: only perfection, completion, life, life, and joy. He said, come
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: to me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden,
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you,
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: for my yoke is easy and my burden is light.
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: We are also told in the fifty fifth Psalm to
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: cast thy burden upon the Lord. Many passages in the
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: Bible state that the battle is God's, not man's, and
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: that man is always to stand still and see the
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: salvation of the Lord. This indicates that the super conscious
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: mind or Christ within is the department which fights man's
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: battle and relieves him of burdens. We see therefore that
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: man violates law if he carries a burden. And a
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: burden is an adverse thought or condition, and this thought
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: or condition has its root in the subconscious. It seems
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: almost impossible to make any headway directing the subconscious from
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: the conscious or reasoning mind. As the reasoning mind the
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: intellect is limited in its conceptions and filled with doubts
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: and fears. Scientific it then is to cast the burden
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: upon the super conscious mind or Christ within, where it
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: is made light or dissolved into its native nothingness. For example,
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: a woman in urgent need of money made light upon
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: the Christ within the super conscious with the statement, I
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: cast this burden of lack on the Christ within, and
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: I go free to have plenty. The belief in lack
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: was her burden, and as she cast it upon the
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: super conscious with its belief of plenty, an avalanche of
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: supply was the result. We read the Christ in you,
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: the Hope of glory. Another example, one of my students
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: had been given a new piano, and there was no
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: room in her studio for it until she had moved
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: out the old one. She was in a state of perplexity.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: She wanted to keep the old piano, but knew of
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: no place to send it. She became desperate as the
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: new piano was to be sent immediately, in fact, was
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: on its way with no place to put it. She said,
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: it came to her to repeat, I cast this burden
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: on the Christ within, and I go free. A few
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: moments later her phone rang and a woman friend asked
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: if she might rent her old piano, and it was
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: moved out a few minutes before the new one arrived.
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: I knew a woman whose burden was resentment, she said,
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: I cast this burden of resentment on the Christ within,
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: and I go free to be loving, harmonious, and happy.
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: The almighty super conscious flooded the subconscious with love, and
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: her whole life was changed. For years, resentment had held
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: her in a state of torment and imprisoned her soul,
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: the subconscious mind. The statement should be made over and
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: over and over, sometimes for hours at a time, silently
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: or audibly, with quietness but determination. I have often compared
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: it to winding up a victrola. We must wind ourselves
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: up with spoken words. I have noticed in ca casting
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: the burden. After a little while, one seems to see clearly.
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: It is impossible to have clear vision while in the
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: throes of carnal mind, doubts and fear poison the mind
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: and body, and imagination runs riot, attracting disaster and disease,
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 1: in steadily repeating the affirmation, I cast this burden on
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: the Christ within and go free. The vision clears, and
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: with it a feeling of relief, and sooner or later
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: comes the manifestation of good, be it health, happiness, or supply.
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: One of my students once asked me to explain the
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: darkness before the dawn. I referred in a preceding chapter
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: to the fact that often before the big demonstration, everything
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: seems to go wrong, and deep depression clouds the consciousness.
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: It means that out of the subconscious are rising the
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: doubts and fears of the ages. These old derelicts of
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: the subconscious rise to the surface to be put out.
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: It is then that man should clap his symbols like
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: a hashafat and give thanks that he is saved, even
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: though he seems surrounded by the enemy the situation of
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: lack or disease. The student continued, how long must one
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: remain in the dark. And I replied, until one can
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: see in the dark, and casting the burden enables one
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: to see in the dark. In order to impress the subconscious,
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: active faith is always essential. Faith without works is dead.
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: In these chapters one have endeavored to bring out this point.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: Jesus Christ showed active faith when he commanded the multitude
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: to sit down on the ground before he gave thanks
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 1: for the loaves and the fishes. I will give another
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 1: example showing how necessary this step is. In fact, active
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: faith is the bridge over which man passes to his
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: promised land. Through misunderstanding, a woman had been separated from
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: her husband, whom she loved deeply. He refused all offers
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: of reconciliation and would not communicate with her in any way.
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 1: Coming into the knowledge of spiritual law, she denied the
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: appearance of separation. She made this statement, there is no
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: separation in divine mind. Therefore I cannot be separated from
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: the love and companionship which are mine by divine right.
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: She showed active faith by arranging a place for him
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: at the table every day, thereby impressing the subconscious with
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 1: a picture of his return over a year past. But
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 1: she never wavered, and one day he walked in. The
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: subconscious is often impressed through music. Music has a fourth
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: dimensional quality and releases the soul from imprisonment. It makes
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: wonderful things seem possible and easy of accomplishment. I have
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: a friend who uses her victrola daily for this purpose.
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: It puts her in perfect harmony and releases the imagination.
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 1: Another woman often dances while making her affirmations. The rhythm
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: and harmony of music and motion carry her words forth
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: with tremendous power. The student must remember also not to
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: despise the day of small things. Invariably before a demonstration
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: come signs of land. Before Columbus reached America, he saw
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: birds and twigs, which showed him land was near. So
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: it is with a demonstration. But often the student mistakes
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: it for the demonstration itself and is disappointed. For example,
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: a woman had spoken the word for a set of dishes.
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: Not long afterwards a friend gave her a dish which
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: was old and cracked. She came to me and said, well,
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: I asked for a set of dishes and all I
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: got was a cracked plate. I replied, the plate was
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: only signs of land. It shows your dishes are coming.
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 1: Look upon it as birds and seaweed, And not long
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: afterwards the dishes came continually. Making believe impresses the subconscious.
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 1: If one makes believe he is rich, and makes believe
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: he is successful, in due time he will reap. Children
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: are always making believe, And except ye be converted and
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 1: become as little children, ye shall not enter the kingdom
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: of heaven. For example, I know of a woman who
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: was very poor, but no one could make her feel poor.
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: She earned a small amount of money from rich friends,
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 1: who constantly reminded her of her poverty and to be
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: careful in saving. Regardless of their admonitions, she would spend
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: all her earnings on a hat or make someone a gift,
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: and be in a rapturous state of mind. Her thoughts
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: were always centered on beautiful clothes and rings and things,
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: but without envying others. She lived in the world of
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: the wondrous, and only riches seemed real to her. Before long,
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: she married a rich man, and the rings and things
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: became visible. I do not know whether the man was
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: the divine selection, but opulence had to manifest in her
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: life as she had imaged only opulence. There is no
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 1: peace or happiness for man until he has erased all
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 1: fear from the subconscious. Fear is misdirected energy and must
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 1: be redirected or transmuted into faith. Jesus Christ said, why
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: are ye fearful, O, ye of little faith? All things
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 1: are possible to him that believeth I am asked so
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 1: often by my students, how can I get rid of fear?
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 1: I reply? By walking up to the thing you are
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 1: afraid of. The lion takes its fierceness from your fear.
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 1: Walk up to the lion and he will disappear. Run away,
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: and he runs after you. I have shown in previous
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 1: chapters how the lion of lack disappeared when the individual
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 1: spent money fearlessly, showing faith that God was his supply
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 1: and therefore unfailing. Many of my students have come out
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 1: of the bondage of poverty and are now bountifully supplied.
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: Through losing all fear of letting money go out, The
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: subconscious is impressed with the truth that God is the
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: giver and the gift. Therefore, as one is one with
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: the giver, he is one with the gift. A splendid
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: statement is I now thank God the giver for God,
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 1: the gift man has so long separated himself from his
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 1: good and his supply through thoughts of separation and lack,
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 1: that sometimes it takes dynamite to dislodge these false ideas
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 1: from the subconscious, and the dynamite is a big situation.
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: We see in the foregoing illustration how the individual was
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 1: freed from his bondage by showing fearlessness. Man should watch
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 1: himself hourly to detect if his motive for action is
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 1: fear or faith. Choose ye this day whom we shall
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 1: serve fear or faith. Perhaps one's fear is of personality,
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: Then do not avoid the people feared, be willing to
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: meet them cheerfully, and they will either prove golden links
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 1: in the chain of one's good or disappear harmoniously from
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: one's pathway. Perhaps one's fear is of disease or deer.
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 1: Then one should be fearless and undisturbed in a germ
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 1: laden situation, and he would be immune. One can only
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 1: contract germs while vibrating at the same rate as the germ,
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 1: and few drags men down to the level of the germ.
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: Of course, the disease laden germ is the product of
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 1: carnal mind, as all thought must objectify. Germs do not
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 1: exist in a super conscious or divine mind. Therefore are
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 1: the product of man's vain imagination in the twinkling of
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 1: an eye. Man's release will come when he realizes there
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 1: is no power in evil. The material world will fade away,
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 1: and the fourth dimensional world, the world of the wondrous,
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 1: will swing into manifestation. And I saw a new Heaven
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 1: and a new Earth. And there shall be no more death,
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: neither sorrow nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain,
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 1: for the former things are passed away. Seven love. Every
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 1: man on this planet is taking his initiationation in love
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 1: a new commandment. I give unto you, that ye love
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 1: one another. Auspensky states in Tertium Organum that love is
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 1: a cosmic phenomenon and opens to man the fourth dimensional world,
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 1: the world of the wondrous. Real love is selfless and
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 1: free from fear. It pours itself out upon the object
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 1: of its affection without demanding any return. Its joy is
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 1: in the joy of giving. Love is God in manifestation,
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: and the strongest magnetic force in the universe. Pure unselfish
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 1: love draws to itself its own. It does not need
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 1: to seek or demand. Scarcely anyone has the faintest conception
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 1: of real love. Man is selfish, tyrannical, or fearful in
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 1: his affections, thereby losing the thing he loves. Jealousy is
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: the worst enemy of love, for the imagination runs riot
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: seeing the loved one attracted to another, and invariably these
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 1: fears objectify if they are not neutralized. For example, a
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: woman came to me in deep distress. The man she
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: loved had left her for other women and said he
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 1: never intended to marry her. She was torn with jealousy
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 1: and resentment, and said she hoped he would suffer as
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 1: he had made her suffer, and added, how could he
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 1: leave me when I loved him so much? I replied,
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 1: you are not loving that man, You are hating him,
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: and added, you can never receive what you have never given.
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 1: Give a perfect love, and you will receive a perfect love,
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 1: perfect yourself on this man. Give him a perfect, unselfish love,
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 1: demanding nothing in return. Do not criticize or condemn, and
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 1: bless him wherever he is. She replied, No, I won't
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: bless him unless I know where he is. Well, I said,
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 1: that is not real love. When you send out real love,
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: rayal love will return to you either from this man
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 1: or his equivalent. For if this man is not the
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 1: divine selection, you will not want him. As you are
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 1: one with God, you are one with the love which
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 1: belongs to you by divine right. Several months passed and
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 1: matters remained about the same, but she was working conscientiously
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: with herself. I said, when you are no longer disturbed
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 1: by his cruelty, he will cease to be cruel as
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 1: you are attracting it through your own emotions. Then I
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 1: told her of a brotherhood in India who never said
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 1: good morning to each other. They used these words, I
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 1: salute the divinity in you. They saluted the divinity in
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 1: every man and in the wild animals in the jungle,
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: and they were never harmed, for they saw only God
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 1: in every living thing. I said, salute the divinity in
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 1: this man, and say, I see your divine self only.
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 1: I see you as God sees you, perfect made in
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 1: His image and likeness. She found she was becoming more
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 1: poised and gradually losing her resentment. He was a captain,
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 1: and she always called him the cap One day she said, suddenly,
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: God bless the cap wherever he is. I replied, Now,
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 1: that is real love, and when you have become a
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 1: complete circle and are no longer disturbed by the situation,
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 1: you will have his love or attract its equivalent. I
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: was moving at this time and did not have a telephone,
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 1: so was out of touch with her for a few weeks,
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: when one morning I received a letter saying we are married.
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 1: At the earliest opportunity, I paid her a call. My
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 1: first words were, what happened? Oh, she exclaimed a miracle.
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 1: One day I woke up and all suffering had ceased.
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 1: I saw him that evening, and he asked me to
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 1: marry him. We were married in about a week, and
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 1: I have never seen a more devoted man. There is
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 1: an old saying, no man is your enemy, no man
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 1: is your friend. Every man is your teacher. So one
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 1: should become impersonal and learn what each man has to
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 1: teach him, and soon he would learn his lessons and
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 1: be free. The woman's lover was teaching her selfless love,
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 1: which every man, sooner or later must learn. Suffering is
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 1: not necessary for man's development. It is the result of
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 1: violation of spiritual law. But few people seem able to
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 1: rouse themselves from their sole sleep without it. When people
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 1: are happy, they usually become selfish and automatically the law
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 1: of karma is set in action. Man often suffers loss
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 1: through lack of appreciation. I knew a woman who had
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 1: a very nice husband, but she said often, I don't
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 1: care anything about being married. But that is nothing against
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 1: my husband. I'm simply not interested in married life. She
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 1: had other interests and scarcely remembered she had a husband.
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 1: She only thought of him when she saw him. One day,
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 1: her husband told her he was in love with another
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 1: woman and left. She came to me in distress and resentment.
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: I replied, it is exactly what you spoke the word for.
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 1: You said you didn't care anything about being married, so
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 1: the subconscious work to get you unmarried. She said, oh yes,
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 1: I see people get what they want and then feel
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 1: very much hurt. She soon became in perfect harmony with
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 1: the situation and knew they were both much happier apart.
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 1: When a woman becomes indifferent or critical and ceases to
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 1: be an inspiration to her husband, he misses the stimulus
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 1: of their early relationship and is restless and unhappy. A
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 1: man came to me dejected, miserable, and poor. His wife
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 1: was interested in the science of numbers and had had
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 1: him read It. Seems the report was not very favorable
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 1: for he said. My wife says, I'll never amount to
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 1: anything because I am a two. I replied, I don't
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 1: care what your number is. You are a perfect idea
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 1: in divine mind, and we will demand the success and
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 1: prosperity which are already play for you by that infinite intelligence.
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 1: Within a few weeks he had a very fine position,
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 1: and a year or two later he achieved a brilliant
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 1: success as a writer. No man is a success in
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 1: business unless he loves his work. The picture the artist
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 1: paints for love of his art is his greatest work.
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 1: The pot boiler is always something to live down. No
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 1: man can attract money if he despises it. Many people
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 1: are kept in poverty by saying money means nothing to me,
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 1: and I have a contempt for people who have it.
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 1: This is the reason so many artists are poor. Their
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 1: contempt for money separates them from it. I remember hearing
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 1: one artist say of another, he's no good as an
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 1: artist he has money in the bank. This attitude of mind,
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 1: of course, separates man from his supply. He must be
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 1: in harmony with a thing in order to attract it.
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 1: Money is God in manifestation as freedom from want and limitation,
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 1: but it must be always kept in circulation and put
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 1: to right. Uses. Hoarding and saving react with grim vengeance.
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 1: This does not mean that man should not have houses
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 1: and lots, stocks and bonds, for the barns of the
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 1: righteous man shall be full. It means man should not
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 1: hoard even the principle. If an occasion arises when money
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 1: is necessary, In letting it go out fearlessly and cheerfully,
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 1: he opens the way for more to come in. For
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 1: God is man's unfailing and inexhaustible supply. This is the
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 1: spiritual attitude towards money, and the great bank of the
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 1: universal never fails. We see an example of hoarding in
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 1: the film production of Greed. The woman won five thousand
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 1: dollars in a lottery, but would not spend it. She
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 1: hoarded and saved, let her husband suffer and starve, and
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 1: eventually she scrubbed floors for a living. She loved the
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 1: money itself and put it above everything, and one night
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 1: she was murdered and the money taken from her. This
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 1: is an example of where love of money is the
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 1: root of all evil. Money in itself is good and beneficial,
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 1: but used for destructive purposes. Hoarded and saved or considered
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 1: more important than love, brings disease and disaster, and the
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 1: loss of the money itself. Follow the path of love,
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 1: and all things are added, for God is love and
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 1: God is supply. Follow the path of selfishness and greed,
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 1: and the supply vanishes or man is separated from it.
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 1: For example, I knew the case of a very rich
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 1: woman who hoarded her income. She rarely gave anything away,
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 1: but bought and bought and bought things for herself. She
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 1: was very fond of necklaces, and a friend once asked
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 1: her how many she possessed. She replied sixty seven. She
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 1: bought them and put them away, carefully wrapped in tissue paper.
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 1: Had she used the necklaces, it would have been quite legitimate,
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 1: but she was violating the law of use. Her closets
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 1: were filled with clothes she never wore and jewels which
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 1: never saw the light. The woman's arms were gradually becoming
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 1: paralyzed from holding on to things, and eventually she was
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 1: considered incapable of looking after her affairs, and her wealth
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 1: was handed over to others to manage. So man in
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 1: ignorance of the law brings about his own destruction. All disease,
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 1: all unhappiness come from the violation of the law of love.
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 1: Man's boomerangs of hate, resentment, and criticism come back, laden
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 1: with sickness and sorrow. Love seems almost a lost art,
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 1: but the man with the knowledge of spiritual law knows
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 1: it must be regained, for without it he has become
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 1: as sounding brass and tinkling symbols. For example, I had
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 1: a student who came to me month after month to
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 1: clean her consciousness of resentment. After a while, she arrived
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 1: at the point where she resented only one woman, but
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 1: that one woman kept her busy. Little by little, shit
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 1: became poised and harmonious, and one day all resentment was
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 1: wiped out. She came in radiant and exclaimed, you can't
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 1: understand how I feel. The woman said something to me,
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 1: and instead of being furious, I was loving and kind,
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 1: and she apologized and was perfectly lovely to me. No
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 1: one can understand the marvelous lightness I feel within. Love
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 1: and goodwill are invaluable in business, For example, a woman
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 1: came to me complaining of her employer. She said she
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 1: was cold and critical and knew she did not want
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 1: her in the position. Well, I replied, salute the divinity
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 1: in the woman and sent her love. She said, I can't.
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 1: She's a marble woman, I answered. You remember the story
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 1: of the sculptor who asked for a certain piece of marble.
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 1: He was asked why he wanted it, and he replied,
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 1: because there is an angel in the marble, and out
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 1: of it he produced a wonderful work of art. She said,
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 1: very well, I'll try it. A week later she came
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 1: back and said, I did what you told me to,
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 1: and now the woman is very kind, and took me
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 1: out in her car. People are sometimes filled with remorse
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 1: for having done someone in unkindness, perhaps years ago. If
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 1: the wrong cannot be righted, its effect can be neutralized
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 1: by doing someone a kindness in the present. This one
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 1: thing I do forgetting those things which are behind and
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 1: reaching forth unto those things which are before. Sorrow, regret
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 1: and remorse tear down the cells of the body and
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 1: poisoned the atmosphere of the individual. A woman said to me,
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 1: in deep sorrow, treat me to be happy and joyous,
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 1: for my sorrow makes me so irritable with the members
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 1: of my family that I keep making more karma. I
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 1: was asked to treat a woman who was mourning for
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 1: her daughter. I denied all belief in loss and separation
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 1: and affirmed that God was the woman's joy, love and peace.
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 1: The woman gained her poise at once, but sent word
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 1: by her son not to treat any longer because she
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 1: was so happy it wasn't respectable. So mortal mind loves
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 1: to hang on to its griefs and regrets. I knew
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 1: a woman who went about bragging of her troubles, so
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 1: of course she always had something to brag about. The
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 1: old idea was if a woman did not worry about
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 1: her children, she was not a good mother. Now we
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 1: know that mother fear is responsible for many of the
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 1: diseases and accidents which come into the lives of children.
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 1: For fear pictures vividly the disease or situation feared, and
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 1: these pictures objectify, if not neutralized. Happy is the mother
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 1: who can say sincerely that she puts her child in
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 1: God's hands and knows therefore that he is divinely protected.
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 1: For example, a woman awoke suddenly in the night, feeling
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 1: her brother was in great danger. Instead of giving in
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 1: to her fears, she commenced making statements of truth, saying,
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 1: man is a perfect eye idea in divine mind, and
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 1: is always in his right place. Therefore, my brother is
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 1: in his right place and is divinely protected. The next
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 1: day she found that her brother had been in close
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 1: proximity to an explosion in a mine, but had miraculously escaped.
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 1: So man is his brother's keeper in thought. And every
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 1: man should know that the thing he loves dwells in
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 1: the secret place of the most High, and abides under
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 1: the shadow of the Almighty. There shall no evil befall
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 1: thee neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. Perfect
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 1: love casteth out fear. He that feareth is not made
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 1: perfect in love, and love is the fulfilling of the
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 1: law eight intuition or guidance. In all thy ways, Acknowledge Him,
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 1: and he shall direct thy paths. There is nothing too
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 1: great of accomplishment for the man who knows the power
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 1: of his word, and who follows his intuitive leads. By
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 1: the word, he starts in action unseen forces, and can
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 1: rebuild his boy or remold his affairs. It is therefore
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 1: of the utmost importance to choose the right words, and
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 1: the student carefully selects the affirmation he wishes to catapult
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 1: into the invisible. He knows that God is his supply,
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 1: that there is a supply for every demand, and that
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 1: his spoken word releases this supply. Ask and ye shall receive.
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 1: Man must make the first move. Draw nigh to God,
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 1: and he will draw nigh to you. I have often
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 1: been asked just how to make a demonstration. I reply,
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 1: speak the word, and then do not do anything until
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 1: you g e t a definite lead. Demand the lead, saying,
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 1: Infinite Spirit, reveal to me the way. Let me know
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 1: if there is anything for me to do. The answer
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 1: will come through intuition or hunch, a chance, remark from someone,
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 1: or a passage in a book, et cetera, et cetera.
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 1: The answers are sometimes quite startling in their exactness. For example,
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 1: a woman desired a large sum of money. She spoke
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 1: the words, infinite Spirit opened the way for my immediate supply.
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 1: Let all that is mine by divine right now reach
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 1: me in great avalanches of abundance. Then she added, give
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 1: me a definite lead. Let me know if there is
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 1: anything for me to do. The thought came quickly give
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 1: a certain friend who had helped her spiritually, a hundred dollars.
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 1: She told her friend, who said, wait and get another
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 1: lead before giving it. So she waited, and that day
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 1: met a woman who said to her, I gave someone
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 1: a dollar to day. It was just as much for
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 1: me as it would be for you to give someone
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 1: a hundred. This was indeed an unmistakable lead, so she
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 1: knew she was right in giving the hundred dollars. It
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 1: was a gift which proved a great investment, for shortly
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 1: after that a large sum of money came to her
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 1: in a remarkable way. Giving opens the way for receiving.
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 1: In order to create activity in finances, one should give. Tithing,
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 1: or giving one tenth of one's income is an old
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 1: Jewish custom and is sure to bring increase. Many of
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 1: the richest men in this country have been tithers, and
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 1: I have never known it to fail as an investment.
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 1: The tenth part goes forth and returns blessed and multiplied.
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 1: But the gift or tithe must be given with love
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 1: and cheerfulness, for God loveth a cheerful giver. Bills should
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 1: be paid cheerfully. All money should be sent forth fearlessly
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 1: and with a blessing. This attitude of mind makes man
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 1: master of money. It is his to obey, and his
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 1: spoken word then opens vast reservoirs of wealth. Man himself
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 1: limits his supply by his limited vision. Sometimes the student
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 1: has a great realization of wealth, but is afraid to act.
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 1: The vision and action must go hand in hand, as
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 1: in the case of the man who bought the fur
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 1: lined overcoat. A woman came to me asking me to
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 1: speak the word for a position. So I demanded. Infinite
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 1: spirit opened the way for this woman's right position. Never
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 1: ask for just a position, Ask for the right position,
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 1: the place already planned in divine mind, as it is
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 1: the only one that will give satisfaction. I then gave
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 1: thanks that she had already received and that it would
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 1: manifest quickly, very soon. She had three positions offered her,
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 1: two in New York and one in Palm Beach, and
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 1: she did not know which to choose. I said, ask
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 1: for a definite lead. The time was almost up, and
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 1: was still undecided when one day she telephoned, when I
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 1: woke up this morning, I could smell palm beach. She
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 1: had been there before and knew its bomby fragrance. I replied, well,
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 1: if you can smell palm beach from here, it is
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 1: certainly your lead. She accepted the position, and it proved
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 1: a great success. Often one's lead comes at an unexpected time.
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 1: One day, I was walking down the street when I
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 1: suddenly felt a strong urge to go to a certain
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 1: bakery a block or two away. The reasoning mind resisted, arguing,
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 1: there is nothing there that you want. However, I had
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 1: learned not to reason, so I went to the bakery,
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 1: looked at everything, and there was certainly nothing there that
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 1: I wanted. But coming out I encountered a woman I
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 1: had thought of often, and who was in great need
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 1: of the help which I could give her. So often
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 1: one goes for one thing and finds another. Intuition is
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 1: a spiritual faculty and does not explain, but simply points
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 1: the way. A person often receives a lead during a treatment.
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 1: The idea that comes may seem quite irrelevant, but some
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 1: of God's leadings are mysterious. In the class, one day,
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 1: I was treating that each individual would receive a definite
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 1: lead a woman came to me afterwards and said, while
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 1: you were treating, I got the hunch to take my
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 1: furniture out of storage and get an apartment. The woman
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 1: had come to be treated for health. I told her
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 1: I knew in getting a home of her own, her
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 1: health would improve. And I added, I believe your trouble,
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 1: which is a congestion, has come from having things stored away.
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 1: Congestion of things causes congestion in the body. You have
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 1: violated the law of use, and your body is paying
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 1: the penalty. So I gave thanks that divine order was
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 1: established in her mind, body and affairs. People little dream
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 1: of how their affairs react on the body. There is
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 1: a mental correspondence for every disease. A person might receive
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 1: instantaneous healing through the realization of his body being a
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 1: perfect idea in divine mind and therefore whole and perfect.
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 1: But if he continues his destructive thinking, courting, hating, fearing, condemning,
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 1: the disease will return. Jesus Christ knew that all sickness
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 1: came from sin, but admonished the leper after the healing
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 1: to go and sin no more lest a worse thing
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 1: come upon him. So man's soul or sub conscious mind
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 1: must be washed whiter than snow for permanent healing, and
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 1: the metaphysician is always delving deep for the correspondence. Jesus
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 1: Christ said, condemn not lest ye also be condemned. Judge
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 1: not lest ye be judged. Many people have attracted disease
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 1: and unhappiness through condemnation of others. What man condemns in
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 1: others he attracts to himself. For example, a friend came
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 1: to me in anger and distress because her husband had
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 1: deserted her for another woman. She condemned the other woman
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 1: and said continually she knew he was a married man
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 1: and had no right to accept his attentions. I replied,
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 1: stop condemning the woman, bless her, and be through with
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 1: the situation. Otherwise you are attracting the same thing to yourself.
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 1: She was deaf to my words, and a year or
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 1: two later, became deeply interested in a man married man herself.
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 1: Man picks up a live wire whenever he criticizes or condemns,
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 1: and may expect a shock. Indecision is a stumbling block
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 1: in many a pathway. In order to overcome it, make
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 1: the statement repeatedly, I am always under direct inspiration, I
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 1: make right decisions quickly. These words impress the subconscious, and
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 1: soon one finds himself awake and alert, making his right
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 1: moves without hesitation. I have found it destructive to look
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 1: to the psychic plane for guidance, as it is the
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 1: plane of many minds and not the one mind. As
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 1: man opens his mind to subjectivity, he becomes a target
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 1: for destructive forces. The psychic plane is the result of
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 1: man's mortal thought and is on the plane of opposites.
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 1: He may receive either good or bad messages. The science
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 1: of numbers and the reading of horoscopes keep man down
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 1: on the mental or mortal plane, for they deal only
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 1: with the armic path. I know of a man who
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 1: should have been dead years ago according to his horoscope,
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 1: but he is alive and a leader of one of
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 1: the biggest movements in this country for the uplift of humanity.
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 1: It takes a very strong mind to neutralize a prophecy
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 1: of evil. The student should declare, every false prophecy shall
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 1: come to naught. Every plan my Father in Heaven has
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 1: not planned, shall be dissolved and dissipated. The divine idea
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 1: now comes to pass. However, if any good message has
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 1: ever been given, one of coming happiness or wealth, harbor
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 1: and expect it, and it will manifest sooner or later
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 1: through the law of expectancy. Man's will should be used
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 1: to back the universal will. I will that the will
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 1: of God be done. It is God's will to give
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 1: every man every righteous desire of his heart, and man's
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 1: will should be used to hold the perfect vision without wavering.
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 1: The prodigal son said, I will arise and go to
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 1: my father. It is indeed often an effort of the
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 1: will to leave the husks and swine of mortal thinking.
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 1: It is so much easier for the average person to
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 1: have fear than faith, So faith is an effort of
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 1: the will. As man becomes spiritually awakened, he recognizes that
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 1: any external inharmony is the correspondence of mental in harmony.
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 1: If he stumbles or falls, he may know he is
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 1: stumbling or falling in consciousness. One day, a student was
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 1: walking along the street condemning someone in her thoughts. She
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 1: was saying mentally that woman is the most disagreeable woman
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 1: on earth. When suddenly three boy scouts rushed around the
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 1: corner and almost knocked her over. She did not condemn
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 1: the boy's scouts, but immediately called on the law of
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 1: forgiveness and saluted the divinity in the woman. Wisdom's way
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 1: are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 1: When one has made his demands upon the Universal, he
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 1: must be ready for surprises. Everything may seem to be
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 1: going wrong, when in reality it is going right. For example,
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 1: a woman was told that there was no loss in
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 1: divine mind. Therefore she could not lose anything which belonged
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 1: to her. Anything lost would be returned, or she would
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 1: receive its equivalent. Several years previously, she had lost two
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars. She had loaned the money to a relative
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 1: during her lifetime, but the relative had died, leaving no
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 1: mention of it in her will. The woman was resentful
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 1: and angry, and as she had no ridden statement of
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 1: the transaction, she never received the money. So she determined
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 1: to deny the loss and collect the two thousand dollars
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 1: from the bank of the Universal. She had to begin
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 1: by forgiving. The woman, as resentment and unforgiveness closed the
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 1: doors of this wonderful bank. She made this statement, I
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 1: deny loss. There is no loss in divine mind. Therefore
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 1: I cannot lose the two thousand dollars which belonged to
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 1: me by divine right. As one door shuts, another door opens.
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 1: She was living in an apartment house which was for sale,
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 1: and in the lease was a clause stating that if
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 1: the house was sold, the tenants would be required to
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 1: move out within ninety days. Suddenly, the landlord broke the
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 1: leases and raised the rent again. Injustice was on her pathway,
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 1: but this time she was undisturbed. She blessed the landlord
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 1: and said, as the rent has been raised, it means
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 1: that I'll be that much richer, for God is my supply.
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 1: New leases were made out for the advanced rent, but
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 1: by some divine mistake, the ninety days clause had been forgotten.
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 1: Soon after, the landlord had an opportunity to sell the house.
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 1: On account of the mistake in the new leases, the
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 1: tenants held possession for another year. The agent offered each
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 1: tenant two hundred dollars if he would vacate. Several families moved,
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 1: three remained, including the woman. A month or two passed
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 1: and the agent again appeared. This time he said to
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 1: the woman, will you break your lease for the sum
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 1: of fifteen hundred dollars, it flashed upon her. Here comes
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 1: the two thousand dollars. She remembered, having said to friends
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 1: in the house, we will all act together if anything
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 1: more is said about leaving. So her lead was to
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 1: consult her friends. These friends said, well, if they have
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 1: offered you fifteen hundred, they will certainly give two thousand.
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 1: So she received a check for two thousand dollars for
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 1: giving up the apartment. It was certainly a remarkable working
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 1: of the law, and the apparent injustice was merely opening
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 1: the way for her demonstration. It proved that there is
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 1: no loss, and when man takes his spiritual stand, he
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 1: collects all that is his. From this great reservoir of good.
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 1: I will restore to you the years the locusts have eaten.
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 1: The locusts are the doubts, fears, resentments, and regrets of
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 1: mortal thinking. These adverse thoughts alone rob man, For no
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 1: man gives to himself but himself, and no man takes
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 1: away from himself but himself. Man is here to prove
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 1: God and to bear witness to the truth. And he
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 1: can only prove God by bringing plenty out of lack,
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 1: and justice out of injustice. Prove me now herewith set
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 1: the Lord of hosts. If I will not open you
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 1: the windows of heaven and pour out a blessing, that
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 1: there shall not be room enough to receive it. Nine
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 1: perfect self expression or the divine design. No wind can
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 1: drive my bark astray, nor change the tide of destiny.
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 1: There is for each man perfect self expression. There is
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 1: a place which he is to fill, and no one
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 1: else can fill. Something which he is to do which
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 1: no one else can do. It is his destiny. This
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 1: achievement is held a perfect idea in divine mind, awaiting
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 1: man's recognition. As the imaging faculty is the creative faculty.
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 1: It is necessary for man to see the idea before
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 1: it can manifest. So man's highest demand is for the
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 1: divine design of his life. He may not have the
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 1: faintest conception of what it is, for there is possibly
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 1: some marvelous talent hidden deep within him. His demand should
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 1: be infinite spirit, open the way for the divine design
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 1: of my life to manifest. Let the genius within me
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 1: now be released. Let me see clearly the perfect plan.
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 1: The perfect plan includes health, wealth, love, and perfect self expression.
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 1: This is the square of life which brings perfect happiness.
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 1: When one has made this demand, he may find great
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 1: changes taking place in his life. For nearly every man
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 1: has wandered far from the divine design. I know. In
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 1: one woman's case it was as though a cyclone had
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 1: struck her affairs. But readjustments came quickly, and new and
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 1: wonderful conditions took the place of old ones. Perfect self
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 1: expression will never be labor, but of such absorbing interest
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 1: that it will seem almost like the student knows. Also,
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 1: as man comes into the world financed by God, the
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 1: supply needed for his perfect self expression will be at hand.
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 1: Many a genius has struggled for years with the problem
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 1: of supply, when his spoken word and faith would have
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 1: released quickly the necessary funds. For example, after the class
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 1: one day, a man came to me and handed me
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 1: a cent. He said, I have just seven cents in
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 1: the world, and I am going to give you one,
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 1: for I have faith in the power of your spoken word.
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 1: I want you to speak the word for my perfect
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 1: self expression and prosperity. I spoke the word and did
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 1: not see him again until a year later. He came
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 1: in one day, successful and happy, with a roll of
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 1: yellow bills in his pocket. He said immediately after you
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 1: spoke the word, I had a position offered me in
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 1: a distant city, and am now demonstrating health, happiness, and supply.
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 1: A woman's perfect self expression may be in becoming a
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 1: perfect wife, a perfect mother, a perfect home maker, and
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 1: not necessarily in having a public career. Demand definite leads,
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 1: and the way will be made easy and successful. One
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 1: should not visualize or force a mental picture. When he
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 1: demands the divine design to come into his conscious mind,
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 1: he will receive flashes of inspiration and begin to see
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 1: himself making some great accomplishment. This is the picture or
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 1: idea he must hold without wavering. The thing man seeks
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 1: is seeking him. The telephone was seeking bell. Parents should
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 1: never force careers and professions upon their children. With a
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 1: knowledge of spiritual truth, the divine plan could be spoken
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 1: for Burly in childhood or prenatally. A prenatal treatment should
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 1: be Let the God and this child have perfect expression.
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 1: Let the divine design of his mind, body and affairs
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 1: be made manifest throughout his life, throughout eternity. God's will
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 1: be done, not man's. God's pattern, not man's pattern, is
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 1: the command we find running through all the scriptures and
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 1: the Bible is a book dealing with the science of
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 1: the mind. It is a book telling man how to
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 1: release his soul or sub conscious mind from bondage. The
• 1:44:18
  Speaker 1: battles described are pictures of man waging war against mortal thoughts.
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 1: A man's foes shall be they of his own household.
• 1:44:27
  Speaker 1: Every man is Jehoshaphat, and every man is David, who
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 1: slays Goliath mortal thinking with the little white stone faith.
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 1: So man must be careful that he is not the
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 1: wicked and slothful servant who buried his talent. There is
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 1: a terrible penalty to be paid for not using one's ability.
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 1: Often fear stands between man and his perfect self expression.
• 1:44:50
  Speaker 1: Stage fright has hampered many a genius. This may be
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 1: overcome by the spoken word or treatment. The individual then
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 1: loses all self consciousness and feels simply that he is
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 1: a channel for infinite intelligence to express itself through. He
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 1: is under direct inspiration, fearless and confident, for he feels
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 1: that it is the father within him who does the work.
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 1: A young boy came often to my class with his mother.
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 1: He asked me to speak the word for his coming
• 1:45:20
  Speaker 1: examinations at school. I told him to make the statement,
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 1: I am one with infinite intelligence. I know everything I
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 1: should know on this subject. He had an excellent knowledge
• 1:45:32
  Speaker 1: of history, but was not sure of his arithmetic. I
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 1: saw him afterwards, and he said, I spoke the word
• 1:45:39
  Speaker 1: for my arithmetic and passed with the highest honors, but
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 1: thought I could depend on myself for history and got
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 1: a very poor mark. Man often receives a setback when
• 1:45:49
  Speaker 1: he is too sure of himself, which means he is
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 1: trusting to his personality and not the father within. Another
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 1: one of my students gave me an example of this.
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 1: She took an extended trip abroad one summer, visiting many
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 1: countries where she was ignorant of the languages. She was
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 1: calling for guidance and protection every minute, and her affairs
• 1:46:10
  Speaker 1: went smoothly and miraculously. Her luggage was never delayed nor lost.
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 1: Accommodations were always ready for her at the best hotels,
• 1:46:19
  Speaker 1: and she had perfect service wherever she went. She returned
• 1:46:23
  Speaker 1: to New York, knowing the language. She felt God was
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 1: no longer necessary, so looked after her affairs in an
• 1:46:30
  Speaker 1: ordinary manner. Everything went wrong, her trunks delayed, amid in harmony,
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 1: in confusion. The student must form the habit of practicing
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 1: the presence of God every minute in all thy ways,
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 1: acknowledge Him. Nothing is too small or too great. Sometimes
• 1:46:48
  Speaker 1: an insignificant incident may be the turning point in a
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 1: man's life. Robert Fulton watching some boiling water simmering in
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 1: a tea kettle, saw a steamboat. I have seen a
• 1:46:59
  Speaker 1: student often keep back his demonstration through resistance or pointing
• 1:47:04
  Speaker 1: the way. He pins his faith to one channel only
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 1: and dictates just the way he desires the manifestation to come,
• 1:47:12
  Speaker 1: which brings things to a standstill. My way, not your way,
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 1: is the command of infinite intelligence. Like all power, be
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 1: it steam or electricity, it must have a non resistant
• 1:47:24
  Speaker 1: engine or instrument to work through. And man is that
• 1:47:27
  Speaker 1: engine or instrument. Over and over again, man is told
• 1:47:31
  Speaker 1: to stand still, Oh Judah, fear not, but tomorrow go
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 1: out against them, for the Lord will be with you.
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 1: You shall not need to fight this battle. Set yourselves
• 1:47:42
  Speaker 1: stand ye still, and see the salvation of the Lord
• 1:47:45
  Speaker 1: with you. We see this in the incidents of the
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 1: two thousand dollars coming to the woman through the Landlord
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 1: when she became non resistant and undisturbed, and the woman
• 1:47:54
  Speaker 1: who won the man's love after all suffering had ceased.
• 1:47:58
  Speaker 1: The student's goal is poise. Poise is power, for it
• 1:48:02
  Speaker 1: gives God power a chance to rush through man to
• 1:48:05
  Speaker 1: will and to do its good pleasure. Poised, he thinks
• 1:48:09
  Speaker 1: clearly and makes right decisions quickly. He never misses a trick.
• 1:48:15
  Speaker 1: Anger blurs the visions, poisons. The blood is the root
• 1:48:18
  Speaker 1: of many diseases and causes wrong decision leading to failure.
• 1:48:23
  Speaker 1: It has been named one of the worst sins as
• 1:48:25
  Speaker 1: its reaction is so harmful. The student learns that in
• 1:48:29
  Speaker 1: metaphysic sin has a much broader meaning than in the
• 1:48:32
  Speaker 1: old teaching. Whatsoever is not of faith is sin. He
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 1: finds that fear and worry are deadly sins. They are
• 1:48:41
  Speaker 1: inverted faith, and through distorted mental pictures, bring to pass
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 1: the thing he fears. His work is to drive out
• 1:48:48
  Speaker 1: these enemies from the sub conscious mind. When man is fearless,
• 1:48:52
  Speaker 1: he is finished. Materlinck says that man is God afraid. So,
• 1:48:59
  Speaker 1: as we read in the previous chapters, man can only
• 1:49:02
  Speaker 1: vanquish fear by walking up to the thing he is
• 1:49:04
  Speaker 1: afraid of. When Jehashaphat and his army prepared to meet
• 1:49:08
  Speaker 1: the enemy, singing praise the Lord for his mercy in dureth.
• 1:49:12
  Speaker 1: Forever they found their enemies had destroyed each other and
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 1: there was nothing to fight. For example, a woman asked
• 1:49:19
  Speaker 1: a friend to deliver a message to another friend. The
• 1:49:22
  Speaker 1: woman feared to give the message, as the reasoning mind said,
• 1:49:26
  Speaker 1: don't get mixed up in this affair. Don't give that message.
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 1: She was troubled in spirit, for she had given her promise.
• 1:49:34
  Speaker 1: At last, she determined to walk up to the lion
• 1:49:37
  Speaker 1: and call on the law of divine protection. She met
• 1:49:40
  Speaker 1: the friend to whom she was to deliver the message.
• 1:49:44
  Speaker 1: She opened her mouth to speak it when her friend said,
• 1:49:47
  Speaker 1: so and so has left town. This made it unnecessary
• 1:49:51
  Speaker 1: to give the message, as the situation depended upon the
• 1:49:53
  Speaker 1: person being in town. As she was willing to do it,
• 1:49:57
  Speaker 1: she was not obliged to as she did not fear
• 1:50:00
  Speaker 1: the situation vanished. The student often delays his demonstration through
• 1:50:05
  Speaker 1: a belief in incompletion. He should make this statement. In
• 1:50:10
  Speaker 1: divine mind, there is only completion. Therefore, my demonstration is completed.
• 1:50:15
  Speaker 1: My perfect work, my perfect home, my perfect health. Whatever
• 1:50:20
  Speaker 1: he demands are perfect ideas registered in divine mind and
• 1:50:24
  Speaker 1: must manifest under grace in a perfect way. He gives
• 1:50:28
  Speaker 1: thanks he has already received on the invisible, and makes
• 1:50:31
  Speaker 1: active preparation for receiving on the visible. One of my
• 1:50:35
  Speaker 1: students was in need of a financial demonstration. She came
• 1:50:39
  Speaker 1: to me and asked why it was not completed. I replied,
• 1:50:43
  Speaker 1: perhaps you are in the habit of leaving things unfinished,
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 1: and the subconscious has gotten into the habit of not
• 1:50:48
  Speaker 1: completing as the without so the within. She said, you
• 1:50:53
  Speaker 1: are right. I often begin things and never finish them.
• 1:50:58
  Speaker 1: I'll go home and finish something I could immence weeks ago,
• 1:51:01
  Speaker 1: and I know it will be symbolic of my demonstration.
• 1:51:04
  Speaker 1: So she sewed assiduously, and the article was soon completed.
• 1:51:09
  Speaker 1: Shortly after the money came in a most curious manner.
• 1:51:13
  Speaker 1: Her husband was paid his salary twice that month. He
• 1:51:17
  Speaker 1: told the people of their mistake, and they sent word
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 1: to keep it. When man asks, believing he must receive,
• 1:51:24
  Speaker 1: for God creates his own channels. I have been sometimes asked,
• 1:51:29
  Speaker 1: suppose one has several talents, how is he to know
• 1:51:31
  Speaker 1: which one to choose? Demand to be shown definitely, Say
• 1:51:37
  Speaker 1: infinite Spirit, give me a definite lead, reveal to me
• 1:51:40
  Speaker 1: my perfect self expression. Show me which talent I am
• 1:51:43
  Speaker 1: to make use of. Now, I have known people to
• 1:51:47
  Speaker 1: suddenly enter a new line of work and be fully
• 1:51:49
  Speaker 1: equipped with little or no training. So make the statement,
• 1:51:54
  Speaker 1: I am fully equipped for the divine plan of my life,
• 1:51:57
  Speaker 1: and be fearless in grasping opportunities. Some people are cheerful
• 1:52:01
  Speaker 1: givers but bad receivers. They refuse gifts through pride or
• 1:52:06
  Speaker 1: some negative reason, thereby blocking their channels, and invariably find
• 1:52:10
  Speaker 1: themselves eventually with little or nothing. For example, a woman
• 1:52:15
  Speaker 1: who had given away a great deal of money had
• 1:52:17
  Speaker 1: a gift offered her of several thousand dollars. She refused
• 1:52:22
  Speaker 1: to take it, saying she did not need it. Shortly
• 1:52:25
  Speaker 1: after that her finances were tied up, and she found
• 1:52:29
  Speaker 1: herself in debt for that amount. Man should receive gracefully,
• 1:52:33
  Speaker 1: the bread returning to him upon the water. Freely ye
• 1:52:36
  Speaker 1: have given, freely ye shall receive. There is always the
• 1:52:40
  Speaker 1: perfect balance of giving and receiving. And though man should
• 1:52:43
  Speaker 1: give without thinking of returns, he violates law if he
• 1:52:46
  Speaker 1: does not accept the returns which come to him. For
• 1:52:49
  Speaker 1: all gifts are from God, Man being merely the channel
• 1:52:53
  Speaker 1: a thought of lack should never be held over the giver.
• 1:52:56
  Speaker 1: For example, when the man gave me the one cent,
• 1:52:59
  Speaker 1: I did not say, poor man, he cannot afford to
• 1:53:02
  Speaker 1: give me. That I saw him rich and prosperous, with
• 1:53:06
  Speaker 1: his supply pouring in. It was this thought which brought it.
• 1:53:11
  Speaker 1: If one has been a bad receiver, he must become
• 1:53:13
  Speaker 1: a good one, and take even a postage stamp if
• 1:53:16
  Speaker 1: it is given him, and open up his channels for receiving.
• 1:53:20
  Speaker 1: The Lord loveth a cheerful receiver as well as a
• 1:53:23
  Speaker 1: cheerful giver. I have often been asked why one man
• 1:53:27
  Speaker 1: is born rich and healthy and another poor and sick.
• 1:53:31
  Speaker 1: Where there is an effect, there is always a cause.
• 1:53:33
  Speaker 1: There is no such thing as chance. This question is
• 1:53:37
  Speaker 1: answered through the law of reincarnation. Man goes through many
• 1:53:41
  Speaker 1: births and deaths until he knows the truth which sets
• 1:53:44
  Speaker 1: him free. He is drawn back to the earth plane
• 1:53:48
  Speaker 1: through unsatisfied desire to pay his karmic debts or to
• 1:53:52
  Speaker 1: fulfill his destiny. The man born rich and healthy has
• 1:53:56
  Speaker 1: had pictures in his sub conscious mind in his past
• 1:53:59
  Speaker 1: life of health and riches, and the poor and sick
• 1:54:02
  Speaker 1: man of disease and poverty. Man manifests on any plane
• 1:54:07
  Speaker 1: the sum total of his subconscious beliefs. However, birth and
• 1:54:12
  Speaker 1: death are man made laws. For the wages of sin
• 1:54:15
  Speaker 1: is death, the damic fall in consciousness. Through the belief
• 1:54:18
  Speaker 1: in two powers, the real man, spiritual man is birthless
• 1:54:23
  Speaker 1: and deathless. He never was born and has never died.
• 1:54:27
  Speaker 1: As he was in the beginning, he is now and
• 1:54:30
  Speaker 1: ever shall be so. Through the truth, man is set
• 1:54:34
  Speaker 1: free from the law of karma, sin and death, and
• 1:54:37
  Speaker 1: manifests the man made in his image and likeness. Man's
• 1:54:42
  Speaker 1: freedom comes through fulfilling his destiny, bringing into manifestation the
• 1:54:46
  Speaker 1: divine design of his life. His Lord will say unto him,
• 1:54:50
  Speaker 1: well done, thou good and faithful servant. Thou hast been
• 1:54:53
  Speaker 1: faithful over a few things. I will make THEE ruler
• 1:54:56
  Speaker 1: over many things. Death itself. Enter thou into the joy
• 1:54:59
  Speaker 1: of thy lord eternal life. Ten denials and affirmations. Thou
• 1:55:06
  Speaker 1: shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established
• 1:55:09
  Speaker 1: unto THEE. All the good that is to be made
• 1:55:12
  Speaker 1: manifest in man's life is already an accomplished fact in
• 1:55:15
  Speaker 1: divine mind, and is released through man's recognition or spoken word.
• 1:55:20
  Speaker 1: So he must be careful to decree that only the
• 1:55:22
  Speaker 1: divine idea be made manifest, for often he decrees through
• 1:55:26
  Speaker 1: his idle words, failure or misfortune. It is therefore of
• 1:55:31
  Speaker 1: the utmost importance to word one's demands correctly, as stated
• 1:55:35
  Speaker 1: in a previous chapter, if one desires a home, friend, position,
• 1:55:40
  Speaker 1: or any other good thing, make the demand for the
• 1:55:43
  Speaker 1: divine selection. For example, Infinite Spirit, open the way for
• 1:55:48
  Speaker 1: my right home, my right friend, my right position. I
• 1:55:52
  Speaker 1: give thanks it now manifests under grace in a perfect way.
• 1:55:56
  Speaker 1: The latter part of the statement is most important. For example,
• 1:56:01
  Speaker 1: I knew a woman who demanded a thousand dollars. Her
• 1:56:04
  Speaker 1: daughter was injured, and they received a thousand dollars indemnity.
• 1:56:08
  Speaker 1: So it did not come in a perfect way. The
• 1:56:11
  Speaker 1: demand should have been worded in this way, Infinite Spirit,
• 1:56:14
  Speaker 1: I give thanks that the one thousand dollars, which is
• 1:56:17
  Speaker 1: mine by divine right, is now released and reaches me
• 1:56:20
  Speaker 1: under grace in a perfect way. As one grows in
• 1:56:24
  Speaker 1: a financial consciousness, he should demand that the enormous sums
• 1:56:27
  Speaker 1: of money which are his by divine right, reach him
• 1:56:30
  Speaker 1: under grace in perfect ways. It is impossible for man
• 1:56:34
  Speaker 1: to release more than he thinks is possible. For one
• 1:56:37
  Speaker 1: is bound by the limited expectancies of the subconscious, he
• 1:56:42
  Speaker 1: must enlarge his expectancies in order to receive in a
• 1:56:44
  Speaker 1: larger way. Man so often limits himself in his demands.
• 1:56:50
  Speaker 1: For example, a student made the demand for six hundred
• 1:56:53
  Speaker 1: dollars by a certain date. He did receive it, but
• 1:56:57
  Speaker 1: heard afterwards that he came very near receiving a thing
• 1:57:00
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars, but he was given just six hundred as
• 1:57:03
  Speaker 1: the result of his spoken word. They limited the Holy
• 1:57:06
  Speaker 1: One of Israel. Wealth is a matter of consciousness. The
• 1:57:11
  Speaker 1: French have a legend giving an example of this. A
• 1:57:15
  Speaker 1: poor man was walking along a road when he met
• 1:57:17
  Speaker 1: a traveler who stopped him and said, my good friend,
• 1:57:20
  Speaker 1: I see you are poor. Take this gold nugget, sell
• 1:57:24
  Speaker 1: it and you will be rich all your days. The
• 1:57:27
  Speaker 1: man was overjoyed at his good fortune and took the
• 1:57:30
  Speaker 1: nugget home. He immediately found work and became so prosperous
• 1:57:34
  Speaker 1: that he did not sell the nugget. Years passed, and
• 1:57:38
  Speaker 1: he became a very rich man. One day he met
• 1:57:41
  Speaker 1: a poor man on the road. He stopped him and said,
• 1:57:45
  Speaker 1: my good friend, I will give you this gold nugget, which,
• 1:57:49
  Speaker 1: if you sell, will make you rich for life. The
• 1:57:52
  Speaker 1: mendicant took the nugget, had it valued, and found it
• 1:57:55
  Speaker 1: was only brass. So we see the first man became
• 1:57:59
  Speaker 1: rich through feeling rich, thinking the nugget was gold. Every
• 1:58:03
  Speaker 1: man has within himself a gold nugget. It is his
• 1:58:06
  Speaker 1: consciousness of gold, of opulence, which brings riches into his life.
• 1:58:11
  Speaker 1: In making his demands, man begins at his journey's end,
• 1:58:15
  Speaker 1: that is, he declares he has already received before ye call,
• 1:58:19
  Speaker 1: I shall answer. Continually affirming establishes the belief in the subconscious.
• 1:58:26
  Speaker 1: It would not be necessary to make an affirmation more
• 1:58:28
  Speaker 1: than once. If one had perfect faith, one should not
• 1:58:32
  Speaker 1: plead or supplicate, but give thanks repeatedly that he has received.
• 1:58:37
  Speaker 1: The desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose. This rejoicing,
• 1:58:42
  Speaker 1: which is yet in the desert state of consciousness, opens
• 1:58:45
  Speaker 1: the way for release. The Lord's prayer is in the
• 1:58:48
  Speaker 1: form of command and demand. Give us this day our
• 1:58:51
  Speaker 1: daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we forgive
• 1:58:54
  Speaker 1: our debtors, and ends in praise for Thine is the
• 1:58:57
  Speaker 1: Kingdom and the power and the glory Forever. Amen. Concerning
• 1:59:03
  Speaker 1: the works of my hands, command ye me. So prayer
• 1:59:06
  Speaker 1: is command and demand, praise and thanksgiving. The student's works
• 1:59:11
  Speaker 1: in making himself believe that with God all things are possible.
• 1:59:16
  Speaker 1: This is easy enough to state in the abstract, but
• 1:59:18
  Speaker 1: a little more difficult when confronted with a problem. For example,
• 1:59:23
  Speaker 1: it was necessary for a woman to demonstrate a large
• 1:59:25
  Speaker 1: sum of money within a stated time. She knew she
• 1:59:29
  Speaker 1: must do something to get a realization, for realization is manifestation,
• 1:59:33
  Speaker 1: and she demanded a lead. She was walking through a
• 1:59:37
  Speaker 1: department store when she saw a very beautiful pink enamel
• 1:59:40
  Speaker 1: paper cutter. She felt the pull towards it. The thought came,
• 1:59:46
  Speaker 1: I haven't a paper cutter good enough to open letters
• 1:59:49
  Speaker 1: containing large checks. So she bought the paper cutter, which
• 1:59:53
  Speaker 1: the reasoning mind would have called an extravagance. When she
• 1:59:57
  Speaker 1: held it in her hand, she had a flash of
• 1:59:59
  Speaker 1: a picture herself opening an envelope containing a large check,
• 2:00:03
  Speaker 1: and in a few weeks she received the money. The
• 2:00:06
  Speaker 1: pink paper cutter was her bridge of active faith. Many
• 2:00:10
  Speaker 1: stories are told of the power of the sub conscious
• 2:00:12
  Speaker 1: when directed in faith. For example, a man was spending
• 2:00:17
  Speaker 1: the night in a farmhouse. The windows of the room
• 2:00:20
  Speaker 1: had been nailed down, and in the middle of the
• 2:00:22
  Speaker 1: night he felt suffocated and made his way in the
• 2:00:25
  Speaker 1: dark to the window. He could not open it, so
• 2:00:28
  Speaker 1: he smashed the pane with his fist, drew in drafts
• 2:00:31
  Speaker 1: of fine, fresh air, and had a wonderful night's sleep.
• 2:00:35
  Speaker 1: The next morning he found he had smashed the glass
• 2:00:37
  Speaker 1: of a bookcase, and the window had remained closed during
• 2:00:40
  Speaker 1: the whole night. He had supplied himself with oxygen, simply
• 2:00:45
  Speaker 1: by his thought of oxygen. When a student starts out
• 2:00:48
  Speaker 1: to demonstrate, he should never turn back. Let not that
• 2:00:52
  Speaker 1: man who wavers think that he shall receive anything of
• 2:00:55
  Speaker 1: the Lord. A student once made this wonderful statement. When
• 2:00:59
  Speaker 1: I asked the Father for or anything, I put my
• 2:01:01
  Speaker 1: foot down and I say, Father, I'll take nothing less
• 2:01:04
  Speaker 1: than I've asked for. But more so, man should never compromise,
• 2:01:09
  Speaker 1: having done all stand. This is sometimes the most difficult
• 2:01:14
  Speaker 1: time of demonstrating. The temptation comes to give up, to
• 2:01:18
  Speaker 1: turn back, to compromise. He also serves who only stands
• 2:01:22
  Speaker 1: and waits. Demonstrations often come at the eleventh hour because
• 2:01:27
  Speaker 1: man then lets go, that is, stops reasoning, and infinite
• 2:01:31
  Speaker 1: intelligence has a chance to work. Man's dreary desires are
• 2:01:35
  Speaker 1: answered drearily, and his impatient desires long delayed or violently fulfilled.
• 2:01:42
  Speaker 1: For example, a woman asked me why it was she
• 2:01:44
  Speaker 1: was constantly losing or breaking her glasses. We found she
• 2:01:48
  Speaker 1: often said to herself and others with vexation, I wish
• 2:01:52
  Speaker 1: I could get rid of my glasses. So her impatient
• 2:01:55
  Speaker 1: desire was violently fulfilled. What she should have demanded was perfect,
• 2:02:00
  Speaker 1: but what she registered in the subconscious was simply the
• 2:02:03
  Speaker 1: impatient desire to be rid of her glasses, so they
• 2:02:06
  Speaker 1: were continually being broken or lost. Two attitudes of mind
• 2:02:10
  Speaker 1: cause loss, depreciation as in a case of the woman
• 2:02:14
  Speaker 1: who did not appreciate her husband, or fear of loss,
• 2:02:17
  Speaker 1: which makes a picture of loss in the subconscious. When
• 2:02:21
  Speaker 1: a student is able to let go of his problem,
• 2:02:23
  Speaker 1: cast his burden, he will have instantaneous manifestation. For example,
• 2:02:29
  Speaker 1: a woman was out during a very stormy day and
• 2:02:31
  Speaker 1: her umbrella was blown inside out. She was about to
• 2:02:35
  Speaker 1: make a call on some people whom she had never met,
• 2:02:37
  Speaker 1: and she did not wish to make her first appearance
• 2:02:40
  Speaker 1: with a dilapidated umbrella. She could not throw it away
• 2:02:43
  Speaker 1: as it did not belong to her, so in desperation
• 2:02:47
  Speaker 1: she exclaimed, oh God, you take charge of this umbrella.
• 2:02:51
  Speaker 1: I don't know what to do. A moment later, a
• 2:02:55
  Speaker 1: voice behind her said, lady, do you want your umbrella mended?
• 2:02:59
  Speaker 1: There stood an umbrella mender. She replied, indeed, I do.
• 2:03:04
  Speaker 1: The man mended the umbrella while she went into the
• 2:03:07
  Speaker 1: house to pay her call, and when she returned she
• 2:03:10
  Speaker 1: had a good umbrella. So there is always an umbrella
• 2:03:13
  Speaker 1: mender at hand on man's pathway. When one puts the
• 2:03:17
  Speaker 1: umbrella or situation in God's hands, one should always follow
• 2:03:22
  Speaker 1: a denial with an affirmation. For example, I was called
• 2:03:26
  Speaker 1: on the foone late one night to treat a man
• 2:03:28
  Speaker 1: whom I had never seen. He was apparently very ill.
• 2:03:33
  Speaker 1: I made the statement, I deny this appearance of disease.
• 2:03:37
  Speaker 1: It is unreal, therefore cannot register in his consciousness. This
• 2:03:41
  Speaker 1: man is a perfect idea in divine mind, pure substance
• 2:03:44
  Speaker 1: expressing perfection. There is no time or space in divine mind.
• 2:03:50
  Speaker 1: Therefore the word reaches instantly its destination and does not
• 2:03:53
  Speaker 1: return void. I have treated patience in Europe and have
• 2:03:57
  Speaker 1: found that the result was instantaneous. I am asked so often.
• 2:04:01
  Speaker 1: The difference between visualizing and visioning. Visualizing is a mental
• 2:04:06
  Speaker 1: process governed by the reasoning or conscious mind. Visioning is
• 2:04:10
  Speaker 1: a spiritual process governed by intuition or the super conscious mind.
• 2:04:15
  Speaker 1: The student should train his mind to receive these flashes
• 2:04:18
  Speaker 1: of inspiration and work out the divine pictures through definite leads.
• 2:04:23
  Speaker 1: When a man can say I desire only that which
• 2:04:26
  Speaker 1: God desires for me, his false desires fade from the
• 2:04:29
  Speaker 1: consciousness and a new set of blueprints is given him
• 2:04:32
  Speaker 1: by the master architect, the God. Within God's plan for
• 2:04:37
  Speaker 1: each man transcends the limitation of the reasoning mind and
• 2:04:40
  Speaker 1: is always the square of life, containing health, wealth, love,
• 2:04:44
  Speaker 1: and perfect self expression. Many a man is building for
• 2:04:48
  Speaker 1: himself in imagination of Bungalow, when he should be building
• 2:04:51
  Speaker 1: a palace. If a student tries to force a demonstration
• 2:04:55
  Speaker 1: through the reasoning mind, he brings it to a standstill.
• 2:04:59
  Speaker 1: I will hasten it. Set the Lord. He should act
• 2:05:02
  Speaker 1: only through intuition or definite leads. Rest in the Lord
• 2:05:06
  Speaker 1: and wait patiently. Trust also in him, and he will
• 2:05:10
  Speaker 1: bring it to pass. I have seen the law work
• 2:05:13
  Speaker 1: in the most astonishing manner. For example, a student stated
• 2:05:18
  Speaker 1: that it was necessary for her to have a hundred
• 2:05:20
  Speaker 1: dollars by the following day. It was a debt of
• 2:05:23
  Speaker 1: vital importance which had to be met. I spoke the word,
• 2:05:27
  Speaker 1: declaring spirit was never too late, and that the supply
• 2:05:30
  Speaker 1: was at hand. That evening she phoned me of the miracle.
• 2:05:35
  Speaker 1: She said that the thought came to her to go
• 2:05:38
  Speaker 1: to her safety deposit box at the bank to examine
• 2:05:40
  Speaker 1: some papers. She looked over the papers and at the
• 2:05:44
  Speaker 1: bottom of the box was a new one hundred dollar bill.
• 2:05:48
  Speaker 1: She was astounded and said she knew she had never
• 2:05:50
  Speaker 1: put it there, for she had gone through the papers
• 2:05:53
  Speaker 1: many times. It may have been a materialization. As Jesus
• 2:05:57
  Speaker 1: Christ materialized the loaves and fishes. Man will reach the
• 2:06:02
  Speaker 1: stage where his word is made flesh or materialized instantly.
• 2:06:07
  Speaker 1: The fields ripe with the harvest will manifest immediately, as
• 2:06:11
  Speaker 1: in all of the miracles of Jesus Christ. There is
• 2:06:14
  Speaker 1: a tremendous power alone in the name Jesus Christ. It
• 2:06:18
  Speaker 1: stands for truth made manifest. He said, whatsoever ye ask
• 2:06:23
  Speaker 1: the Father in why name, he will give it to you.
• 2:06:27
  Speaker 1: The power of this name raises the student into the
• 2:06:29
  Speaker 1: fourth dimension, where he is freed from all astral and
• 2:06:32
  Speaker 1: psychic influences, and he becomes unconditioned and absolute, as God
• 2:06:37
  Speaker 1: himself is unconditioned and absolute. I have seen many healings
• 2:06:41
  Speaker 1: accomplished by using the words in the name of Jesus Christ.
• 2:06:46
  Speaker 1: Christ was both person and principle, and the Christ within
• 2:06:49
  Speaker 1: each man is his redeemer and salvation. The Christ within
• 2:06:54
  Speaker 1: is his own fourth dimensional self, the man made in
• 2:06:56
  Speaker 1: God's image and likeness. This is the which has never failed,
• 2:07:01
  Speaker 1: never known sickness or sorrow, was never born, and has
• 2:07:04
  Speaker 1: never died. It is the resurrection and the life of
• 2:07:08
  Speaker 1: each man. No man cometh to the Father. Saved by
• 2:07:12
  Speaker 1: the Son means that God, the universal, working on the
• 2:07:16
  Speaker 1: place of the particular, becomes the Christ in man, and
• 2:07:19
  Speaker 1: the Holy Ghost means God in action. So daily man
• 2:07:23
  Speaker 1: is manifesting the trinity of Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
• 2:07:28
  Speaker 1: Man should make an art of thinking. The master thinker
• 2:07:32
  Speaker 1: is an artist and is careful to paint only the
• 2:07:34
  Speaker 1: divine designs upon the canvas of his mind. And he
• 2:07:37
  Speaker 1: paints these pictures with masterly strokes of power and decision,
• 2:07:41
  Speaker 1: having perfect faith that there is no power to mar
• 2:07:43
  Speaker 1: their perfection, and that they shall manifest in his life
• 2:07:46
  Speaker 1: the ideal made real. All power is given man through
• 2:07:50
  Speaker 1: right thinking to bring his heaven upon his earth, and
• 2:07:53
  Speaker 1: this is the goal of the game of life. The
• 2:07:56
  Speaker 1: simple rules are fearless, faith, non resistance, and love. May
• 2:08:01
  Speaker 1: each reader be now freed from that thing which has
• 2:08:03
  Speaker 1: held him in bondage through the ages standing between him
• 2:08:06
  Speaker 1: and his own and know the truth which makes him free,
• 2:08:10
  Speaker 1: free to fulfill his destiny, to bring into manifestation the
• 2:08:13
  Speaker 1: divine design of his life, health, wealth, love, and perfect
• 2:08:17
  Speaker 1: self expression. Be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind.
• 2:08:23
  Speaker 1: Eleven denials and affirmations for prosperity. God is my unfailing supply,
• 2:08:31
  Speaker 1: and large sums of money come to me quickly under
• 2:08:34
  Speaker 1: grace in perfect ways for right conditions. Every plan my
• 2:08:40
  Speaker 1: Father in Heaven has not planned shall be dissolved and dissipated,
• 2:08:43
  Speaker 1: and the divine idea now comes to pass for right conditions.
• 2:08:49
  Speaker 1: Only that which is true of God is true of me.
• 2:08:52
  Speaker 1: For I and the Father are one for faith, as
• 2:08:57
  Speaker 1: I am one with God, I am one with my good.
• 2:08:59
  Speaker 1: For God is both the giver and the gift. I
• 2:09:03
  Speaker 1: cannot separate the giver from the gift for right conditions.
• 2:09:08
  Speaker 1: Divine love now dissolves and dissipates every wrong condition in
• 2:09:12
  Speaker 1: my mind, body, and affairs. Divine love is the most
• 2:09:16
  Speaker 1: powerful chemical in the universe and dissolves everything which is
• 2:09:20
  Speaker 1: not of itself. For health, Divine love floods my consciousness
• 2:09:25
  Speaker 1: with health, and every cell in my body is filled
• 2:09:28
  Speaker 1: with light. For the eyesight, my eyes are God's eyes.
• 2:09:33
  Speaker 1: I see with the eyes of spirit. I see clearly
• 2:09:37
  Speaker 1: the open way. There are no obstacles on my pathway.
• 2:09:41
  Speaker 1: I see clearly the perfect plan for guidance. I am
• 2:09:46
  Speaker 1: divinely sensitive to my intuitive leads and give instant obedience
• 2:09:50
  Speaker 1: to Thy will. For the hearing, my years are God's ears.
• 2:09:55
  Speaker 1: I hear with the years of spirit. I am non
• 2:09:58
  Speaker 1: resistant and am willing to be. I hear glad tidings
• 2:10:02
  Speaker 1: of great joy for right work. I have a perfect
• 2:10:07
  Speaker 1: work in a perfect way. I give a perfect service
• 2:10:09
  Speaker 1: for perfect pay for freedom from all bondage. I cast
• 2:10:15
  Speaker 1: this burden on the Christ within, and I go free.
