Water Is the Most Powerful Element The Chinese say that water is the most powerful element, because it is perfectly nonresistant. It can wear away a rock, and sweep all before it. Resist Not Evil…For There Is No Evil Jesus Christ said, "Resist not evil," for He knew in reality, there is no evil, therefore nothing to resist. Evil has come of man's "vain imagination," or a belief in two powers, good and evil. There is an old legend, that Adam and Eve ate of "Maya the Tree of Illusion," and saw two powers instead of one power, God. Evil Is a False Law Man Has Made for Himself Therefore, evil is a false law man has made for himself, through psychoma or soul sleep. Soul sleep means, that man's soul has been hypnotized by the race belief (of sin, sickness and death, etc.) which is c...

DENIALS AND AFFIRMATIONS For Prosperity God is my unfailing supply, and large sums of money come to me quickly, under grace, in perfect ways. For Right Conditions Every plan my Father in heaven has not planned, shall be dissolved and dissipated, and the Divine Idea now comes to pass. For Right Conditions Only that which is true of God is true of me, for I and the Father are ONE. For Faith As I am one with God, I am one with my good, for God is both the Giver and the Gift. I cannot separate the Giver from the Gift. For Right Conditions Divine Love now dissolves and dissipates every wrong condition in my mind, body and affairs. Divine Love is the most powerful chemical in the universe, and dissolves everything which is not of itself! For Health Divine Love floods my consciousness with health, and every cell in my body is filled with light. For the Eyesight My eyes are God's eyes, I see with the ...

Editor's Note:  This is an excerpt from The Game of Life by Florence Scovel Shinn. DENIALS AND AFFIRMATIONS "Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee." All the good that is to be made manifest in man's life is already an accomplished fact in divine mind, and is released through man's recognition, or spoken word, so he must be careful to decree that only the Divine Idea be made manifest, for often, he decrees, through his "idle words," failure or misfortune. It is, therefore, of the utmost importance, to word one's demands correctly, as stated in a previous chapter. If one desires a home, friend, position or any other good thing, make the demand for the "divine selection." For example: "Infinite Spirit, open the way for my right home, my right friend, my right position. I give thanks it now manifests under grace in a perfect way." The latter part of the statement is most important. For example: I knew a...

God Is Man's Supply One of the greatest messages given to the race through the scriptures is that God is man's supply and that man can release, through his spoken word, all that belongs to him by divine right. He must, however, have perfect faith in his spoken word. Words and Thoughts Are a Tremendous Vibratory Force Isaiah said, "My word shall not return unto me void, but shall accomplish that where unto it is sent." We know now, that words and thoughts are a tremendous vibratory force, ever moulding man's body and affairs. A Woman in Great Distress A woman came to me in great distress and said she was to be sued on the fifteenth of the month for three thousand dollars. She knew no way of getting the money and was in despair. I told her God was her supply, and that there is a supply for every demand. Act in Perfect Faith So I spoke the word! I gave thanks that the woman would r...

You'll Get the Situation You Prepared For If one asks for success and prepares for failure, he will get the situation he has prepared for. For example: A man came to me asking me to speak the word that a certain debt would be wiped out. I found he spent his time planning what he would say to the man when he did not pay his bill, thereby neutralizing my words. He should have seen himself paying the debt. The Prophet Elisha in the Bible We have a wonderful illustration of this in the Bible, relating to the three kings who were in the desert, without water for their men and horses. They consulted the prophet Elisha, who gave them this astonishing message: "Thus saith the Lord—Ye shall not see wind, neither shall ye see rain, yet make this valley full of ditches." Man must prepare for the thing he has asked for, when there isn't the slightest sign of it in sight. For example: A woman fo...

Editor's Note:  This is an excerpt from The Game of Life by Florence Scovel Shinn.   Holding To the Vision The children of Israel were told that they could have all the land they could see. This is true of every man. He has only the land within his own mental vision. Every great work, every big accomplishment, has been brought into manifestation through holding to the vision, and often just before the big achievement, comes apparent failure and discouragement. The Promised Land The children of Israel when they reached the "Promised Land," were afraid to go in, for they said it was filled with giants who made them feel like grasshoppers. "And there we saw the giants and we were in our own sight as grass-hoppers." This is almost every man's experience. One Who Knows Spiritual Law Is Undisturbed by Appearance However, the one who knows spiritual law, is undisturbed by appearance, and rejoices while he is "yet in captivity." That is, he holds to his vi...

Editor's Note:  This is an excerpt from The Game of Life by Florence Scovel Shinn. The Kingdom is the Realm of Right Ideas Jesus Christ said, "Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you," and he said the Kingdom was within man. The Kingdom is the realm of right ideas, or the divine pattern. Jesus Christ taught that man's words played a leading part in the game of life. "By your words ye are justified and by your words ye are condemned." Idle Words Many people have brought disaster into their lives through idle words. For example: A woman once asked me why her life was now one of poverty of limitation. Formerly she had a home, was surrounded by beautiful things and had plenty of money. We found she had often tired of the management of her home, and had said repeatedly, "I'm sick and tired of things—I wish I lived in a trunk," and she added: "Today I am living in that trunk." She...

Editor's Note:  This is an excerpt from The Game of Life by Florence Scovel Shinn. PERFECT SELF-EXPRESSION or THE DIVINE DESIGN   "No wind can drive my bark astray   nor change the tide of destiny." There is for each man, perfect self-expression. There is a place which he is to fill and no one else can fill, something which he is to do, which no one else can do; it is his destiny! This achievement is held, a perfect idea in Divine Mind, awaiting man's recognition. As the imaging faculty is the creative faculty, it is necessary for man to see the idea, before it can manifest. So man's highest demand is for the Divine Design of his life. He may not have the faintest conception of what it is, for there is, possibly, some marvelous talent, hidden deep within him. His demand should be: "Infinite Spirit, open the way for the Divine Design of my life to manifest; let the genius within me now be released; let me see clearly the perfect plan." The perfect plan in...

There is nothing too great of accomplishment for the man who knows the power of his word, and who follows his intuitive leads. By the word he starts in action unseen forces and can rebuild his body or remold his affairs. It is, therefore, of the utmost importance to choose the right words, and the student carefully selects the affirmation he wishes to catapult into the invisible. He knows that God is his supply, that there is a supply for every demand, and that his spoken word releases this supply. "Ask and ye shall receive." Man must make the first move. "Draw nigh to God and He will draw nigh to you." I have often been asked just how to make a demonstration. I reply: "Speak the word and then do not do anything until you get a definite lead." Demand the lead, saying, "I...

Editor's Note:  This is an excerpt from The Game of Life by Florence Scovel Shinn. The Object of the Game of Life The object of the game of life is to see clearly one's good and to obliterate all mental pictures of evil. This must be done by impressing the subconscious mind with a realization of good.  A very brilliant man, who has attained great success, told me he had suddenly erased all fear from his consciousness by reading a sign which hung in a room. He saw printed, in large letters this statement—"Why worry, it will probably never happen." These words were stamped indelibly upon his subconscious mind, and he has now a firm conviction that only good can come into his life, therefore only good can manifest. The Subconscious Mind In the following chapter I will deal with the different methods of impressing the subconscious mind. It is man's faithful servant but one must be careful to give it the right orders. Man has ever a silent listener at his side—his subc...
