 8 Intuition or Guidance In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. 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, and that there is a supply for every demand, and that his spoken word releases this supply. Ask and ye shall receive. One 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, Infinite Spirit, reveal to me the way, let me know if there is anything for me to do. The answer will come through intuition or hunch, a chance remark from someone, or a passage in a book, etc., etc. The answers are sometimes quite startling in their exactness. For example, a woman desired a large sum of money. She spoke the words, Infinite Spirit, open the way for my immediate supply, let all that is mined by divine right now reach me in great avalanches of abundance. Then she added, Give me a definite lead, let me know if there is anything for me to do. The thought came quickly, give a certain friend, who had helped her spiritually, a hundred dollars. She told her friend, who said, Wait and get another lead before giving it, so she waited, and that day met a woman who said to her, I gave someone a dollar today, it was just as much for me as it would be for you to give someone a hundred. This was indeed an unmistakable lead, so she knew she was right in giving the hundred dollars. It was a gift which proved a great investment for shortly after that. A large sum of money came to her in a remarkable way. Giving opens the way for receiving. In order to create activity in finances, one should give. Tithing, or giving one tenth of one's income, is an old Jewish custom and is sure to bring increase. Many of the richest men in the country have been tithers, and have never known it to fail as an investment. The tenth part goes forth, and returns blessed and multiplied, but the gift or tithe must be given with love and cheerfulness, for God loveth a cheerful giver. Bills should be paid cheerfully, all money should be sent forth fearlessly and with a blessing. This attitude of mind makes man master of money. It is his to obey, and his spoken word then opens vast reservoirs of wealth. Man himself limits his supply by his limited vision. Sometimes the student has a great realization of wealth, but is afraid to act. The vision and action must go hand in hand, as in the case of the man who bought the fur-lined overcoat. A woman came to me asking me to speak the word for a position. So I demanded, infinite spirit, open the way for this woman's right position. Never ask for just a position. Ask for the right position, the place already planned in divine mind, as it is the only one that will give satisfaction. I then gave thanks that she had already received, and that it would manifest quickly. Very soon she had three positions offered her, two in New York and one in Palm Beach. And she did not know which one to choose. I said ask for a definite lead. The time was almost up and was still undecided when one day she telephoned. When I woke up this morning I could smell Palm Beach. She had been there before and knew its balmy fragrance. I replied, well if you can smell Palm Beach from here, it's certainly your lead. She accepted the position and it proved a great success. One one's lead comes at an unexpected time. One day I was walking down the street when suddenly I felt a strong urge to go to a certain bakery, a block or two away. The reasoning mind resisted, arguing, there's nothing there that you want. However, I had learned not to reason, so I went to the bakery, looked at everything, and there was certainly nothing there that I wanted. And coming out I encountered a woman I had thought of often and who was in great need of the help which I could give her. So often one goes for one thing and finds another. 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. 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. So I gave thanks that divine order was established in her mind, body and affairs. It is a little dream of how their affairs react on the body. There is a mental correspondence for every disease. A person might receive instantaneous healing through the realization of his body being a perfect idea in divine mind and therefore whole and perfect, but if he continues his destructive thinking, hoarding, hating, fearing, condemning, the disease will return. Jesus Christ knew that all sickness came from sin, but admonished the leper after the healing to go and sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon him. So man's soul, or subconscious mind, must be washed wider than snow for permanent healing and the metaphysician is always delving deep for the correspondence. Jesus Christ said, condemn not, lest ye also be condemned. Judge not, lest ye be judged. Many people have attracted disease and unhappiness through the condemnation of others. What man condemns in others he attracts to himself. 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, she had no right to accept his attentions. 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. Man picks up a live wire whenever he criticizes or condemns and may expect a shock. In decision 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. 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. The science of numbers and the reading of horoscopes keep man down the mental or mortal plane for they deal only with the karmic path. I know of a man who should have been dead years ago according to his horoscope but he is alive and a leader of one of the biggest movements in this country for the uplift of humanity. It takes a very strong mind to neutralize the prophecy of evil. The student should declare, every false prophecy shall come to not. Every plan my father in heaven has not planned shall be dissolved and dissipated. The divine idea now comes to pass. However, if any good message has ever been given one of coming happiness or wealth harbour and expect it and it will manifest sooner or later through the law of expectancy. Man's will should be used to back the universal will. I will that the will of God be done. It is God's will to give every man every righteous desire of his heart and man's will should be used to hold the perfect vision without wavering. The prodigal son said, I will arise and go to my father. It is indeed often an effort of the will to leave the husks and swine of mortal thinking. It is so much easier for the average person to have fear than faith. So faith is an effort of the will. As man becomes spiritually awakened, he recognizes that any external in harmony is the correspondence of mental in harmony. If he stumbles or falls, he may know he is stumbling or falling in consciousness. One day a student was walking along the street condemning someone in her thoughts. She was saying mentally, that woman is the most disagreeable woman on earth. When suddenly three Boy Scouts rushed around the corner and almost knocked her over. She did not condemn the Boy Scouts but immediately called on the law of forgiveness and saluted the divinity in the woman. Wisdom's ways are ways of pleasantness and all her paths are peace. When one has made his demands upon the universal he must be ready for surprises. Everything may seem to be going wrong, when reality it is going right. For example, a woman was told that there was no loss in divine mind, therefore she could not lose anything which belonged to her. Anything lost would be returned, or she would receive its equivalent. Several years previously she had lost two thousand dollars. She had loaned the money to a relative during her lifetime, but the relative had died, leaving no mention of it in her will. The woman was resentful and angry, and as she had no written statement of the transaction she never received the money, so she determined to deny the loss and collect the two thousand dollars from the bank of the universal. She had to begin by forgiving the woman as resentment and unforgiveness closed the door of this wonderful bank. She made this statement, I deny loss, there is no loss in divine mind, therefore I cannot lose the two thousand dollars which belonged to me by divine right, as one door shuts another opens. She was living in an apartment house which was for sale, and in the lease was a clause stating that if the house was sold the tenants would be required to move out within ninety days. Suddenly the landlord broke the leases and raised the rent. Again injustice was on her pathway, but this time she was undisturbed. She blessed the landlord and said, as the rent has been raised it means that I'll be that much richer for God as my supply. The new leases were made out for the advanced rent, but by some divine mistake the ninety day clause had been forgotten. Soon after the landlord had an opportunity to sell the house, on account of the mistake in the new leases the tenants held possession for another year. The agent offered each tenant two hundred dollars if he would vacate. Several families moved, three remained including the woman. A month or two passed and the agent again appeared. This time he said to the woman, will you break your lease for the sum of fifteen hundred dollars? It flashed upon her, here comes the two thousand dollars. She remembered having said to friends in the house, we will all act together if anything more is said about leaving. So her lead was to consult her friends. These friends said, well if they have offered you fifteen hundred they will certainly give two thousand. So she received a check for two thousand dollars for giving up the apartment. It was certainly a remarkable working of the law and the apparent injustice was merely an opening for the way for her demonstration. It proved that there is no loss and when man takes his spiritual stand he collects all that is his from this great reservoir of good. I will restore to you the years the locusts have eaten. The locusts are the doubts, fears, resentments and regrets of mortal thinking. These adverse thoughts alone rob man for no man gives to himself but himself and no man takes away from himself but himself. Man is here to prove God and to bear witness to the truth and he can only prove God by bringing plenty out of lack and justice out of injustice. Prove me now herewith saith the Lord of hosts if I will not open you the windows of heaven and pour out a blessing that there shall be not room enough to receive it. End of chapter 8, recording by Amy Conger. Chapter 9 of The Game of Life and How to Play It. The Game of Life and How to Play It by Florence Scovel-Shen. Chapter 9, 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 marvellous 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 includes health, wealth, love and perfect self-expression. This is the square of life, which brings perfect happiness. When one has made this demand, he may find great changes taking place in his life, for nearly every man has wandered far from the divine design. I know in one woman's case it was as though a cyclone had struck her affairs, but readjustments came quickly and new and wonderful conditions took the place of old ones. Perfect self-expression will never be labour, but of such absorbing interest that it will seem almost like play. The student knows also, as man comes into the world financed by God, the supply needed for his perfect self-expression will be at hand. Many a genius has struggled for years with the problem of supply, when his spoken word and faith would have released quickly the necessary funds. For example, after the class one day a man came to me and handed me a scent. He said, I have just seven cents in the world and I am going to give you one, for I have faith in the power of your spoken word. I want you to speak the word from my perfect self-expression and prosperity. I spoke the word and did not see him again until a year later. He came in one day, successful and happy with a roll of yellow bills in a pocket. He said, immediately after you spoke the word I had a position offered me in a distant city and I am now demonstrating health, happiness and supply. A woman's self-expression may be in becoming a perfect wife, a perfect mother, a perfect homemaker and not necessarily in having a public career. Demand definitely leads and the way will be made easy and successful. One should not visualize or force a mental picture. When he demands the divine design to come into his conscious mind, he will receive flashes of inspiration and begin to see himself making some great accomplishment. This is the picture or idea he must hold without wavering. The thing man seeks is seeking him. The telephone was seeking Belle. Parents should never force careers and professions upon their children. With a knowledge of spiritual truth, the divine plan could be spoken for early in childhood or prenatally. A prenatal treatment should be, let the God in this child have perfect self-expression. Let the divine design of his mind, body and affairs be made manifest throughout his life, throughout eternity. 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. 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. 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 who does the work. A young boy came often to my class with his mother. He asked me to speak the word for his coming examinations at school. I told him to make the statement, I am one with infinite intelligence, I know everything I should know on this subject. He had an excellent knowledge of history but was not sure of his arithmetic. I saw him afterwards and he said, I spoke the word for my arithmetic and passed with the highest honors, but I thought I could depend upon myself for history and got a very poor mark. He often receives a setback when he is too sure of himself, which means he is trusting to his personality and not the father within. Another of my students gave me an example of this. She took an extended trip abroad one summer, visiting many countries where she was ignorant of the languages. She was calling for guidance and protection every minute and her affairs went smoothly and miraculously. Her luggage was never delayed nor lost. Accommodations were always ready for her at the best hotels and she had perfect service wherever she went. She returned to New York. Knowing the language she felt God was no longer necessary so looked after her affairs in an ordinary manner. Everything went wrong. Her trunks delayed amid in harmony and confusion. The student must form the habit of practicing the presence of God every minute. In all thy ways acknowledge him. Nothing is too small or too great. 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. 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. My way, not your way, is the command of infinite intelligence. Like all power, be it steam or electricity, it must have a non-resistant engine or instrument to work through, and man is that engine or instrument. Over and over again man is told to stand still. Oh Judah, fear not, but tomorrow 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 $2,000 coming to the woman through the landlord when she became non-resistant and undisturbed, and the woman who won the man's love after all suffering had ceased. 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. Poised, he thinks clearly. Man makes right decisions quickly. He never misses a trick. Anger blurs the visions, poisons the blood, is the root of many diseases and causes wrong decision leading to failure. It has been named one of the worst sins, as its reaction is so harmful. The student learns that in metaphysics, sin has a much broader meaning than in the old teaching. Whatsoever is not of faith is sin. He finds that fear and worry are deadly sins. They are inverted faith and through distorted mental pictures bring to pass the thing he fears. His work is to drive out these enemies from the subconscious mind. When man is fearless, he is finished. Laterlink says that man is God afraid. So as we read in the previous chapters, man can only vanquish fear by walking up to the thing he is afraid of. When Jehoshaphat and his army prepared to meet the enemy, singing praise the Lord for his mercy endureth forever, they found their enemies had destroyed each other and there was nothing to fight. For example, a woman asked a friend to deliver a message to another friend. The woman feared to give the message as the reasoning mind said, don't get mixed up in this affair, don't give that message. She was troubled in spirit for she had given her promise. At last she determined to walk up to the lion and call on the law of divine protection. She met the friend to whom she was to deliver the message. She opened her mouth to speak it when her friend said, so and so has left town. This made it unnecessary to give the message, as the situation depended upon the person being in town. As she was willing to do it, she was not obliged to, as she did not fear, the situation vanished. The student often delays his demonstration through a belief in incompletion. He should make this statement, in divine mind there is only completion, therefore my demonstration is completed, my perfect word, my perfect home, my perfect health. Whatever he demands are perfect ideas registered in divine mind and must manifest under grace in a perfect way. He gives thanks he has already received on the invisible and makes active preparation for receiving on the visible. One of my students was in need of a financial demonstration. She came to me and asked why it was not completed. I replied, perhaps you are in the habit of leaving things unfinished and the subconscious has gotten into the habit of not completing, as the without sow the within. She said, you are right, I often begin things and never finish them. I'll go home and finish something I commenced weeks ago and I know it will be symbolic of my demonstration. So she sowed assiduously and the article was soon completed. Shortly thereafter the money came in a most curious manner. Her husband was paid his salary twice that month. He told the people of their mistake and they sent word to keep it. One man asks, believing he must receive for God creates his own channels. I have been sometimes asked, suppose one has several talents, how is he to know which one to choose? Demand to be shown definitely. Say, infinite spirit, give me a definite lead, reveal to me my perfect self-expression, show which talent I am to make use of now. I have known people to suddenly enter a new line of work and be fully equipped with little to no training, so make the statement, I am fully equipped for the divine plan of my life and be fearless in grasping opportunities. 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. Finally thereafter 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. 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 which come to him, for all gifts are from God, man being merely the channel. A thought of lack should never be held over the giver. For example, when the man gave me one cent I did not say, poor man, he cannot afford to give me that. I saw him rich and prosperous with his supply pouring in. It was this thought which brought it. If one has been a bad receiver he must become a good one and take even a postage stamp of it as given him and open up his channels for receiving. The Lord loveth a cheerful receiver as well as a cheerful giver. I have often been asked why one man is born rich and healthy and another poor and sick. Where there is an effect there is always a cause there is no such thing as chance. This question is answered through the law of reincarnation. Man goes through many births and deaths until he knows the truth which sets him free. He is drawn back to the earth plain through unsatisfied desire to pay his karmic debts or to fulfill his destiny. The man born rich and healthy has had pictures in his subconscious mind, in his past life of health and riches and the poor and sick man of disease and poverty. Man manifests on any plane the sum total of his subconscious beliefs. However, birth and death are man made laws for the wages of sin is death. The Adamic fall in consciousness through the belief in two powers. The real man, spiritual man is birthless and deathless. He was never born and has never died. As he was in the beginning he is now and shall ever be. So through the truth man is set free from the law of karma, sin and death and manifests the man made in his image and likeness. Man's freedom comes through fulfilling his destiny, bringing into manifestation the divine design of his life. His Lord will say unto him, well done, thou good and faithful servant, thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things, death itself, enter thou into the joy of thy Lord eternal life. End of Chapter 9. CHAPTER 10. 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 that it now manifests under grace in a perfect way. The latter part of this statement is most important. For example, I knew a woman who demanded a thousand dollars. Her daughter was injured, and they received a thousand dollars indemnity, so it did not come in a perfect way. The demand should have been worded in this way. Infinite spirit, I give thanks that the one thousand dollars, which is mined by divine right, is now released and reaches me under grace in a perfect way. 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. 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 demands 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 a result of his spoken word. They limited the holy one of Israel. Wealth is a matter of consciousness. The French have a legend giving an example of this. A poor man was walking along a road when he met a traveller who stopped him and said, My good friend, I see that you are poor. Take this gold nugget, sell it, and you will be rich all your days. The man was overjoyed at his good fortune and took the nugget home. He immediately found work and became so prosperous that he did not sell the nugget. The man was passed and he became a very rich man. One day he met a poor man on the road. He stopped him and said, My good friend, I will give you this gold nugget, which, if you sell, will make you rich for life. The mendicant took the nugget, had it valued, and found it was only brass. So we see, the first man became rich through feeling rich, thinking the nugget was gold. Every man has within him a gold nugget. It is his consciousness of gold, of opulence, which brings riches into his life. In making his demands, man begins at his journey's end. That is, he declares he has already received. Before ye call, I shall answer. Continually affirming establishes the belief in the subconscious. It would not be necessary to make an affirmation more than once if one had perfect faith. One should not plead or supplicate, but give thanks repeatedly that he has received. The desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose. This rejoicing, which is yet in the desert, state of consciousness, opens the way for release. The Lord's prayer is in the form of command and demand. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. And ends in praise, for thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Concerning the works of my hands, command ye me. So prayer is command and demand, praise and thanksgiving. This student's work is in making himself believe that, with God, all things are possible. This is easy enough to state in the abstract, but a little more difficult when confronted with a problem. For example, it was necessary for a woman to demonstrate a large sum of money within a stated time. She knew she must do something to get a realization, for realization is manifestation, and she demanded a lead. She was walking through a department store when she saw a very beautiful pink enamel paper cutter. She felt the pull towards it. The thought came, I have it to paper cutter good enough to open letters containing large checks. So she bought the paper cutter, which the reasoning mind would have called an extravagance. When she held it in her hand, she had a flash of a picture of herself opening an envelope containing a large check, and within a few weeks she received the money. The pink paper cutter was her bridge of active faith. Many stories are told of the power of the subconscious when directed in faith. For example, a man was spending the night in a farmhouse. The windows of the room had been nailed down, and in the middle of the night he felt suffocated and made his way in the dark to the window. He could not open it, so he smashed the pain with his fist, drew in drafts of fine fresh air, and had a wonderful night's sleep. The next morning he found he had smashed the glass of a bookcase, and the window had remained closed during the whole night. He had supplied himself with oxygen, simply by his thought of oxygen. When a student starts out to demonstrate, he should never turn back. Let not that man who waivers think that he shall receive anything of the Lord. A student once made this wonderful statement. When I ask the Father for anything, I put my foot down and I say, Father, I'll take nothing less than I've asked for, but more. So man should never compromise, having done all stand. This is sometimes the most difficult time of demonstrating. The temptation comes to give up, to turn back, to compromise. He also serves who only stands and waits. Demonstrations often come at the eleventh hour because man then lets go, that is, stops reasoning, and infinite intelligence has a chance to work. Man's dreary desires are answered drearily, and his impatient desires long delayed or violently fulfilled. For example, a woman asked me why it was she was constantly losing or breaking her glasses. We found she often said to herself and others with vexation, I wish I could get rid of my glasses. So her impatient desire was violently fulfilled. What she should have demanded was perfect eyesight, but what she registered in the subconscious was simply the impatient desire to be rid of her glasses, so they were continually being broken or lost. Two attitudes of mind cause loss, depreciation, as in the case of the woman who did not appreciate her husband, or fear of loss, which makes a picture of loss in the subconscious. When a student is able to let go of his problem, cast his burden, he will have instantaneous manifestation. For example, a woman was out during a very stormy day, and her umbrella was blown inside out. She was about to make a call on some people whom she had never met, and she did not wish to make her first appearance with a dilapidated umbrella. She could not throw it away as it did not belong to her. So in desperation, she exclaimed, Oh God, you take charge of this umbrella. I don't know what to do. A moment later, a voice behind her said, Lady, do you want your umbrella mended? There stood an umbrella mender. She replied, Indeed I do. The man mended the umbrella while she went into the house to pay her call, and when she returned she had a good umbrella. So there is always an umbrella mender at hand on man's pathway when one puts the umbrella or situation in God's hands. One should always follow a denial with an affirmation. For example, I was called on the phone late one night to treat a man whom I had never seen. He was apparently very ill. I made the statement, I deny the appearance of disease. It is unreal. Therefore cannot register in his consciousness. This man is a perfect idea in divine mind, pure substance expressing perfection. There is no time or space in divine mind. For the word reaches instantly its destination and does not return void. I have treated patients in Europe and have found that the result was instantaneous. I am asked so often the difference between visualizing and visioning. Visualizing is a mental process governed by the reasoning or conscious mind. Visualizing is a spiritual process governed by intuition or the super conscious mind. The student should train his mind to receive these flashes of inspiration and work out the divine pictures through definite leads. One a man can say, I desire only that which God desires for me. His false desires fade from the consciousness and a new set of blueprints is given him by the master architect, the God within. God's plan for each man transcends the limitation of the reasoning mind and is always the square of life containing health, wealth, love, and perfect self-expression. Many a man is building for himself in imagination a bungalow when he should be building a palace. If a student tries to force a demonstration through the reasoning mind he brings it to a stand still. I will hasten it saith the Lord. He should act only through intuition or definite leads. Rest in the Lord and wait patiently. Trust also in him and he will bring it to pass. I have seen the law work in the most astonishing manner. For example, a student stated that it was necessary for her to have a hundred dollars by the following day. It was a debt of vital importance which had to be met. I spoke the word, declaring spirit was never too late, and that the supply was at hand. That evening she phoned me of the miracle. She said that the thought came to her to go to her safety deposit box at the bank to examine some papers. She looked over the papers and at the bottom of the box was a new one hundred dollar bill. She was astounded and she said she knew she had never put it there for she had gone through the papers many times. It may have been a materialization as Jesus Christ materialized the loaves and fishes. Matt will reach the stage where his word is made flesh or materialized instantly. The fields ripe with the harvest will manifest immediately as in all of the miracles of Jesus Christ. There is a tremendous power alone in the name Jesus Christ. It stands for truth made manifest. He said whatsoever ye ask the Father in my name he will give it to you. The power of this name raises the student into the fourth dimension where he is freed from all astral and psychic influences and he becomes unconditioned and absolute as God himself is unconditioned and absolute. 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 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 comes to the Father saved 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 in action. So daily man is manifesting the trinity of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. 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 man through right thinking to bring his heaven upon his earth and this is the goal of the game of life. The simple rules are fearless faith, non-resistance 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 manifestation the divine design of his life, health, wealth, love and perfect self expression. Be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind. 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 on 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 fills 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 eyes of spirit I see clearly the open way There are no obstacles on my pathway I see clearly the perfect plan For guidance I am divinely sensitive to my intuitive leads and give instant obedience to thy will For the hearing My ears are God's ears I hear with the ears of spirit I am non-resistant and am willing to be led I hear glad tidings of great joy For right work I have a perfect work in a perfect way I give a perfect service for perfect pay For freedom from all bondage I cast this burden on the Christ within and I go free
