The Game of Life & How to Play It
by Florence Scovel Shinn:
“People 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.
What man condemns in others, he attracts to himself. Man picks up a live-wire whenever he criticizes or condemns. However, if any good message has ever been given to one, of coming happiness, or wealth, harbor and expect it – it will manifest sooner or later, through the law of expectancy. Man’s will should be used to back the universal will, “Thy will 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. 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 inharmony is the correspondence of mental inharmony. If he stumbles or falls, he may know he is stumbling or falling in consciousness.
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 not be room enough to receive it.”
May you manifest the Divine Plan of your life, under grace and in perfect ways!
There is GOLD DUST in the air!
