Editor's Note:  The following is an excerpt from The Secret Door to Success by Florence Scovel Shinn. The Law of Preparation The law of preparation works both ways. If you prepare for what you fear or don't want, you begin to attract it. David said, "The thing I feared has come upon me." We hear people say, "I must put away money in case of illness." They are deliberately preparing to be ill. Or, "I'm saving for a rainy day." The rainy day is sure to come, at a most inconvenient time. Your Barns Should Be Full The divine idea for every man is plenty. Your barns should be full, and your cup should flow over, but we must learn to ask aright. I Call On the Law of Accumulation For example take this statement: I call on the law of accumulation. My supply comes from God, and now pours in and piles up, under grace. A Supernatural Feeling of Abundance This statement does not give any picture of stint or saving or sickness. It gives a fourth dimensiona...

Editor's Note:  The following is an excerpt from  The Game of Life and How to Play It  by Florence Scovel Shinn. Make An Art of Thinking Man should make an art of thinking. The Master Thinker is an artist and is careful to paint only the divine designs upon the canvas of his mind; and he paints these pictures with masterly strokes of power and decision, having perfect faith that there is no power to mar their perfection and that they shall manifest in his life the ideal made real. All Power Is Given to You Through Right Thinking All power is given man (through right thinking) to bring his heaven upon his earth, and this is the goal of the "Game of Life." Faith, Non-Resistance, and Love The simple rules are fearless faith, nonresistance and love! May each reader be now freed from that thing which has held him in bondage through the ages, standing between him and his own, and "know the Truth which makes him free"—free to fulfill his destiny, to bring into manifest...

Editor's Note:  The following is an excerpt from  The Game of Life and How to Play It  by Florence Scovel Shinn. In the Name of Jesus Christ I have seen many healings accomplished by using the words, "In the name of Jesus Christ." Christ was both person and principle; and the Christ within each man is his Redeemer and Salvation. The Christ Within The Christ within, is his own fourth dimensional self, the man made in God's image and likeness. This is the self which has never failed, never known sickness or sorrow, was never born and has never died. It is the "resurrection and the life" of each man! "No man cometh to the Father save by the Son," means, that God, the Universal, working on the place of the particular, becomes the Christ in man; and the Holy Ghost, means God-inaction. So daily, man is manifesting the Trinity of Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Image by Gerd Altmann from Pixabay

Editor's Note:  The following is an excerpt from  The Game of Life and How to Play It  by Florence Scovel Shinn. Don't Condemn Others Jesus Christ said, "Condemn not lest ye also be condemned." "Judge not, lest ye be judged." Many people have attracted disease and unhappiness through condemnation of others. What man condemns in others, he attracts to himself. Her Husband Deserted Her for Another Woman For example: A friend came to me in anger and distress, because her husband had deserted her for another woman. She condemned the other woman, and said continually, "She knew he was a married man, and had no right to accept his attentions." Bless the Other Woman I replied. "Stop condemning the woman, bless her, and be through with the situation, otherwise, you are attracting the same thing to yourself." She was deaf to my words, and a year or two later, became deeply interested in a married man, herself. Condemning Others is Like Picking Up ...

Editor's Note:  The following is an excerpt from  The Game of Life and How to Play It  by Florence Scovel Shinn. I Make Right Decisions Quickly Indecision is a stumbling-block in many a pathway. In order to overcome it, make the statement, repeatedly, "I am always under direct inspiration; I make right decisions, quickly." The Psychic World These words impress the subconscious, and soon one finds himself awake and alert, making his right moves without hesitation. I have found it destructive to look to the psychic plane for guidance, as it is the plane of many minds and not "The One Mind." As man opens his mind to subjectivity, he becomes a target for destructive forces. The psychic plane is the result of man's mortal thought, and is on the "plane of opposites." He may receive either good or bad messages. Horoscopes and Numerology The science of numbers and the reading of horoscopes, keep man down on the mental (or mortal) plane, for they deal only ...

Editor's Note:  The following is an excerpt from  The Game of Life and How to Play It  by Florence Scovel Shinn. Intuition Points the Way Intuition is a spiritual faculty and does not explain, but simply points the way. A person often receives a lead during a "treatment." The idea that comes may seem quite irrelevant, but some of God's leadings are "mysterious." A Definite Lead In the class, one day, I was treating that each individual would receive a definite lead. A woman came to me afterwards, and said: "While you were treating, I got the hunch to take my furniture out of storage and get an apartment." The woman had come to be treated for health. I told her I knew in getting a home of her own, her health would improve, and I added, "I believe your trouble, which is a congestion, has come from having things stored away. Congestion of things causes congestion in the body. You have violated the law of use, and your body is paying the penalty....

Demand Enormous Sums of Money As one grows in a financial consciousness, he should demand that the enormous sums of money, which are his by divine right, reach him under grace, in perfect ways. Learn to Expect Larger Sums of Money It is impossible for man to release more than he thinks is possible, for one is bound by the limited expectancies of the subconscious. He must enlarge his expectancies in order to receive in a larger way. Man so often limits himself in his demands. For example: A student made the demand for six hundred dollars, by a certain date. He did receive it, but heard afterwards, that he came very near receiving a thousand dollars, but he was given just six hundred, as the result of his spoken word. Don't Limit the Holy One of Israel "They limited the Holy One of Israel." Wealth is a matter of consciousness. The French have a legend giving a...

Editor's Note:  The following is an excerpt from The Game of Life and How to Play It by Florence Scovel Shinn. Be Sure to Demand Correctly "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. Make Your Demand for the Divine Selection If one desires a home, friend, position or any other good thing, make the demand for the "divine selection." The Right Home, the Right Friend, the Right Position For example: "Infinite Spirit, open the way for my right home, my right friend, my right position. I give thanks...

Editor's Note:  The following is an excerpt from The Game of Life and How to Play It by Florence Scovel Shinn. Some People Are Cheerful Givers But Bad Receivers Some people are cheerful givers, but bad receivers. They refuse gifts through pride, or some negative reason, thereby blocking their channels, and invariably find themselves eventually with little or nothing. For example: A woman who had given away a great deal of money, had a gift offered her of several thousand dollars. She refused to take it, saying she did not need it. Shortly after that, her finances were "tied up," and she found herself in debt for that amount. Man should receive gracefully the bread returning to him upon the water—freely ye have given, freely ye shall receive. It's A Violation of Spiritual Law If You Don't Receive There is always the perfect balance of giving and receiving, and though man should give without thinking of returns, he violates law if he does not accept the returns whi...
