Your Goal Is Poise, For Poise Is Power - 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.



A Turning Point in Your Life
Sometimes an insignificant incident may be the turning point in a man's life.

Robert Fulton, watching some boiling water, simmering in a tea kettle, saw a steamboat!


Resistance Keeps Back Your Demonstration
I have seen a student, often, keep back his demonstration, through resistance, or pointing the way.

He pins his faith to one channel only, and dictates just the way he desires the manifestation to come, which brings things to a standstill.


God's Way, Not Your Way
"My way, not your way!" is the command of Infinite Intelligence. Like all Power, be it steam or electricity, it must have a nonresistant engine or instrument to work through, and man is that engine or instrument.


Stand Still, For God Is With You
Over and over again, man is told to "stand still". "Oh Judah, fear not; but to-morrow go out against them, for the Lord will be with you. You shall not need to fight this battle; set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the Lord with you."

We see this in the incidents of the two thousand dollars coming to the woman through the landlord when she became nonresistant and undisturbed, and the woman who won the man's love "after all suffering had ceased."


Poise Is Power
The student's goal is Poise! Poise is Power, for it gives God-Power a chance to rush through man, to "will and to do Its good pleasure."


Think Clearly and Make Right Decisions Quickly
Poised, he thinks clearly, and makes "right decisions quickly." "He never misses a trick."

Editor's Note:  The following is an excerpt from Your Word Is Your Wand  by Florence Scovel Shinn. Erase This False Belief If man loses anything it shows there is a belief of loss in his subconscious mind. As he erases this false belief, the article, or its equivalent will appear on the external. For example: A woman lost a silver pencil in a theater. She made every effort to find it but it was not returned. There Is No Loss In Divine Mind She denied loss, taking the affirmation: "I deny loss, there is no loss in Divine Mind, therefore I cannot lose that pencil. I will receive it or its equivalent." Several weeks elapsed. One day she was with a friend who wore about her neck on a cord, a beautiful gold pencil, who turned to her and said: "Do you want this pencil? I paid fifty dollars for it at Tiffany's." The woman was aghast, and replied (almost forgetting to thank her friend) "Oh! God aren't you wonderful! The silver pencil wasn't good enough ...

Practical Utility and Mystical Significance Salt has long been esteemed not only as a vital culinary ingredient but also as a powerful tool in spiritual and cultural rituals across ancient civilizations. Its value extended beyond the dinner table, embodying a blend of practical utility and mystical significance.
