The Game of Life And How To Play It

They used these words: "I salute the Divinity in you." They saluted the divinity in every man, and in the wild animals in the jungle, and they were never harmed, for they saw only God in every living thing.

He taught that every man had the power to bless and to multiply, to heal and to prosper

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.

Real love is selfless and free from fear. It pours itself out upon the object of its affection, without demanding any return. Its joy is in the joy of giving. Love is God in manifestation, and the strongest magnetic force in the universe. Pure, unselfish love draws to itself its own; it does not need to seek or demand. Scarcely anyone has the faintest conception of real love.

One's ships come in over a calm sea.
So long as man resists a situation, he will have it with him. If he runs away from it, it will run after him.

words and thoughts are a tremendous vibratory force, ever moulding man's body and affairs.

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 it now manifests under grace in a perfect way.”

The latter part of the 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 mine by divine right, is now released, and reaches me under grace, in a perfect way.”

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 me 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 or no training. So make the statement: “I am fully equipped for the Divine Plan of my life,” and be fearless in grasping opportunities.

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 work, 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.

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.

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 thought I could depend on myself for history, and got a very poor mark.” Man often receives a set-back when he is “too sure of himself,” which means he is trusting to his personality and not the “Father within.”
