Only Active Faith Impresses the Subconscious It is exactly what I say, over and over again—only active Faith impresses the subconscious, and unless you impress the subconscious, there are no results. Her Heart's Desire Was Her Right Marriage and Happy Home I will now give you an example to show you just how the law works. A woman came to me whose heart's desire was her right marriage and happy home. She was very fond of a certain man, but he was a most difficult person. After having shown her every attention and devotion, he suddenly changed, and dropped out of her life.  She was unhappy, resentful and discouraged. I said, "Now this is the time to prepare for your happy home! Buy little things for it as if you hadn't a minute to spare." She became quite interested in shopping for her happy home, when all appearances were against it.  Become Immune to Resentment and ...

Do not let other people rock your boat. Follow the Path of Wisdom and Understanding Follow the path of wisdom and understanding, "and turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest." In the thirteenth verse of the twenty-fourth chapter of Joshua, we read a remarkable statement: "And I have given you a land for which ye did not labour, and cities which ye built not, and ye dwell in them; of the vineyards and oliveyards which ye planted not, do ye eat." Everything Comes from God This shows that man cannot earn anything, his blessings come as gifts. (Gifts lest any man shall boast.) With the realization of wealth, we receive the gift of wealth. With the realization of success, we receive the gift of success, for success and abundance are st...

Changes in the Twinkling of an Eye The following extract from a letter which I received from a woman in the West shows how conditions can change in the twinkling of an eye. Get Things Which Are Theirs By Divine Right "I've had the pleasure of reading your wonderful book, The Game of Life and How to Play It.' I have four boys, ten, thirteen, fifteen and seventeen, and thought how wonderful for them to grasp it, in their early life, and be able to get things which are theirs by Divine Right. Did Not Understand Divine Law "The lady who let me read her copy gave me other things to read, but it seemed when I picked this book up it was magnetic and I could not let go of it. After reading it I realized, I was trying to live Divinely but did not understand the law, or I would have been much further advanced. God Makes a Way Where There Is No Way "At first I thought...

Divine Guidance - The Most Important Thing in Life Inspiration (which is divine guidance) is the most important thing in life. People come to Truth meetings for inspiration. I find the right word will start divine activity operating in their affairs. Let God Juggle the Situation A woman came to me with a complication of affairs. I said to her, "Let God juggle the situation." It clicked. She took the affirmation, "I now let God juggle this situation." Almost immediately she rented a house, which had been vacant for a long time. Let God juggle every situation, for when you try to juggle the situation, you drop all the balls. In my question and answer classes, I would be asked, "How do you let God juggle a situation, and what do you mean when you say I should not juggle it?" The Intellect Says Times Are Hard You juggle with the intellect. The intellect ...

So we say, "Awake thou that sleepeth. Wake up to your leads and hunches. Wake up to the divinity within!" Claude Bragdon said, "To live intuitively is to live fourth dimensionally." Ask for a Lead and You Will Receive It Now it is necessary for you to make a decision, you face a fork in the road.  Ask for a definite unmistakable lead , and you will receive it. We find many events to interpret metaphysically in the Book of Joshua. "After the death of Moses, the divine command came to Joshua, 'Now therefore, arise, go over the Jordan, thou and all thy people, unto the land which I do give to them. Every place the sole of your feet shall tread upon; to you have I given it'." The feet are the symbol of understanding, so it means metaphysically all that we unders...

Editor's Note:  The following is an excerpt from  The Secret Door to Success  by Florence Scovel Shinn. Every Day There Is a Choice Every day there is a necessity of choice (a fork in the road). Many People Don't Know What To Do "Shall I do this, or shall I do that? Shall I go, or shall I stay?" Many people do not know what to do. They rush about letting other people make decisions for them, then regret having taken their advice. There are others who carefully reason things out. They weigh and measure the situation like dealing in groceries, and are surprised when they fail to attain their goal. The Magic Path of Intuition There are still other people who follow the magic path of intuition and find themselves in their Promised Land in the twinkling of an eye. Intuition Is More Powerful Than the Reasoning Mind Intuition is a spiritual faculty high above the reasoning mind, but on that path is all that you desire or require. Intuition Is God Telephoning to You In my boo...

Editor's Note:  The following is an excerpt from  The Secret Door to Success  by Florence Scovel Shinn. The Strong Arm of God The eighty-ninth psalm is very interesting, for we find that two individuals take part; the man who sings the psalm (for all psalms are songs or poems), and the Lord God of Hosts answers him. It is a song of praise and thanksgiving, extolling the strong arm of God. "I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever!" "O Lord God of Hosts, who is a strong Lord like unto thee?" "Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand." Then the Lord of Hosts replies. "With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall strengthen him." "My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him." Forevermore We only hear the words "for evermore" in the bible and in fairy-tales. In the absolute, man is outside of time and space. His good is "from everl...

When acquired, The World is Yours! So many people are trying to force situations. Your lasting good will never come through forcing personal will. "Flee from the things which flee from thee,  Seek nothing, fortune seeketh thee.  Behold his shadow on the floor!  Behold him standing at the door!" Learn to Relax I do not know the author of these lines. Lovelock, the celebrated English athlete, was asked how to attain his speed and endurance in running. He replied, "Learn to relax." Let us attain this rest in action. He was most relaxed when running the fastest. Your Success Will Usually Slide In Your big opportunity and big success usually slide in, when you least expect it. You have to let go long enough for the great law of attraction to operate. You never saw a worried and anxious mag...

Editor's Note:  The following is an excerpt from  The Secret Door to Success  by Florence Scovel Shinn. The Long Arm of God I have given the following statement to many of my students. The long arm of God reaches out over people and conditions, controlling this situation and protecting my interests. You Would No Longer Resist or Resent This brings a picture of a long arm symbolizing strength and protection. With the realization of the power of the long arm of God, you would no longer resist or resent. You would relax and let go. The enemy thoughts within you would be destroyed, therefore, the adverse conditions would disappear. Stand Still and Let God Lift Your Burdens Spiritual development means the ability to stand still, or stand aside, and let Infinite Intelligence lift your burdens and fight your battles. When the burden of resentment is lifted, you experience a sense of relief! You have a kindly feeling for everyone, and all the organs of your body begin to function...

"Now," I said, "you'll have to perfect yourself on the situation and become immune to all resentment and unhappiness." I gave her the statement: "I am now immune to all hurt and resentment: my poise is built upon a rock, the Christ within." I said, "When you are immune to...

Editor's Note:  The following is an excerpt from The Power of the Spoken Word by Florence Scovel Shinn. God's Gift to Man Is Power God's gift to man is power; power and dominion over all created things; his mind, his body, and affairs. All unhappiness comes from lack of power. Man imagines himself weak and the victim of circumstances, claiming that, "Conditions over which he had no control" caused his defeat. Man by himself, is indeed, a victim of circumstances; but linked with Godpower all things are possible. By Your Word You Contact This Power   Through a knowledge of metaphysics, we are discovering how this can be done. By your word you contact this power. Then, miraculously, every burden is lifted and every battle is won. Life and death are in the power of the tongue. Watch your words with all diligence. You are continually reaping the fruits of your words. And he that overcometh and keepeth my works to the end, to him will I give power and dominion over the ...

We Only Receive What We Give Man receives only that which he gives. The Game of Life is a game of boomerangs. Man's thoughts, deeds and words, return to him sooner or later, with astounding accuracy. This Is the Law of Karma This is the law of Karma, which is Sanskrit for "Comeback." "Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." For example: A friend told me this story of herself, illustrating the law. She said, "I make all my Karma on my aunt, whatever I say to her, some one says to me. I am often irritable at home, and one day, said to my aunt, who was talking to me during dinner. 'No more talk, I wish to eat in peace.'" "The following day, I was lunching with a woman with whom I wished to make a great impression. I was talking animatedly, when she said: 'No more talk, I wish to eat in peace!'" My friend is high in consciousness, so her Karma returns much more quickly than to one on the mental plane. The More We Know, ...

Editor's Note:  This is an excerpt from The Game of Life and How to Play It by Florence Scovel Shinn. Baptize Every Failure As a Success A metaphysician once gave me a wonderful recipe for taking every trick in the game of life, it is the acme of nonresistance. He gave it in this way; "At one time in my life, I baptized children, and of course, they had many names. Now I no longer baptize children, but I baptize events, but I give every event the same name. If I have a failure I baptize it success, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost!" The Great Law of Transmutation In this, we see the great law of transmutation, founded on nonresistance. Through his spoken word, every failure was transmuted into success. She Must First Feel That She Had Received For example: A woman who required money, and who knew the spiritual law of opulence, was thrown continually in a business-way, with a man who made her feel very poor. He talked lack and limitation and...

Editor's Note:  This is an excerpt from Your Word Is Your Wand by Florence Scovel Shinn. SUCCESS Choose the Right Affirmation There are certain words or pictures which impress the subconscious mind. For example: A man called asking me to speak the word for his right work. I gave him the statement: "Behold I have set before thee the open door of destiny and no man shall shut it!" It didn't seem to make much impression, so I was inspired to add: "And no man shall shut it for it is nailed back!" The man was electrified and went out walking on air. Within a few weeks he was called to a distant city to fill a wonderful position which came about in a miraculous way. God Is My Supply and Every Day Is A Good Day I give another example of a woman who fearlessly followed a "hunch." She was working for a small salary when she read my book, The Game of Life and How to Play It . The thought came in a flash, to start in business for herself and open a tearoom an...

Editor's Note:  This is an excerpt from Your Word Is Your Wand by Florence Scovel Shinn. Know the Truth Jesus Christ said: "Ye shall know the Truth and the Truth shall make you free." This means that man must know the Truth of every situation which confronts him. There Is No Lack or Limitation There is no Truth in lack or limitation. He waves over it the wand of His Word and the wilderness rejoices and blossoms as the rose. Fear, doubt, anxiety, anger, resentment pull down the cells of the body, shock the nervous system and are the causes of disease and disaster. Absolute Control of Your Emotional Nature Happiness and health must be earned by absolute control of the emotional nature. Calm and Serene Power moves but is never moved. When man stands calm and serene, has a good appetite, feels contented and happy when appearances are against him, he has reached mastery. Then he has power to "rebuke the winds and the waves," to control conditions. Transmute Failure I...

Editor's Note:  This is an excerpt from Your Word Is Your Wand by Florence Scovel Shinn.   YOUR WORD IS YOUR WAND Man's word is his wand filled with magic and power! Jesus Christ emphasized the power of the word; "By thy words thou shalt be justified and by thy words thou shalt be condemned," and "death and life are in power of the tongue." So man has power to change an unhappy condition by waving over it the wand of his word. In the place of sorrow appears joy, in the place of sickness appears health, in the place of lack appears plenty. For example: A woman came for a treatment for prosperity. She possessed just two dollars in the world. I said: "We bless the two dollars and know that you have the magic purse of the Spirit; it can never be depleted; as money goes out, immediately money comes in, under grace in perfect ways. I see it always crammed, jammed with money: yellow bills, green bills, pink checks, blue checks, white checks, gold, silver and c...

Editor's Note:  This is an excerpt from The Game of Life and How to Play It by Florence Scovel Shinn. The Power of Your Words 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. Choose the Right Words 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. Your Spoken Word Releases Your Supply from God 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." Demand a Definite Lead from God 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 defin...
