A Channel for Infinite Intelligence - Florence Scovel Shinn
Editor's Note: The following is an excerpt from The Game of Life and How to Play It by Florence Scovel Shinn.
God's Pattern, Not Man's Pattern
God's will be done, not man's; God's pattern, not man's pattern, is the command we find running through all the scriptures, and the Bible is a book dealing with the science of the mind. It is a book telling man how to release his soul (or subconscious mind) from bondage.
The battles described are pictures of man waging war against mortal thoughts. "A man's foes shall be they of his own household." Every man is Jehoshaphat, and every man is David, who slays Goliath (mortal thinking) with the little white stone (faith).
Be Sure to Use Your Ability
So man must be careful that he is not the "wicked and slothful servant" who buried his talent. There is a terrible penalty to be paid for not using one's ability.
Be a Channel for Infinite Intelligence to Express Itself
Often fear stands between man and his perfect self-expression. Stage-fright has hampered many a genius. This may be overcome by the spoken word, or treatment. The individual then loses all self-consciousness, and feels simply that he is a channel for Infinite Intelligence to express Itself through.
He is under direct inspiration, fearless, and confident; for he feels that it is the "Father within" him who does the work.
