She soon returned his love, and lost all interest in A. In fact, he said all the things that she had always wished A. Soon after that, she met another man who fell in love with her at once, and who said she was his ideal. I replied, Maybe he is not the divine selectionanother man my be the right one. One evening she called, and said, Do you know, for the last week, A. frequently but no headway was made in their friendship. is the right man you cant lose him, and if he isnt, you will receive his equivalent. B.) I replied that this would be a violation of spiritual law, but that I would speak the word for the right man, the divine selection, the man who belonged to her by divine right. Many people, however, are in ignorance of their true destinies and are striving for things and situations which do not belong to them, and would only bring failure and dissatisfaction if attained.įor example: A woman came to me and asked me to speak the word that she would marry a certain man with whom she was very much in love. In reality it is mans true destiny (or destination) flashed to him from the Infinite Intelligence which is within himself. It usually flashes across the conscious as an unattainable idealsomething too good to be true. There is a perfect picture of this in the superconscious mind. There is a place that you are to fill and no one else can fill, something you are to do, which no one else can do. In it, is the perfect pattern spoken of by Plato, The Divine Design for there is a Divine Design for each person. The superconscious mind is the God Mind within each man, and is the realm of perfect ideas. It sees death, disaster, sickness, poverty and limitation of every kind, and it impresses the subconscious. It is the human mind and sees life as it appears to be. The conscious mind has been called mortal or carnal mind. The picture of herself as a widow was impressed upon the subconscious mind, and in due time worked itself out, regardless of the havoc created. In a short time he died and she wore black and a sweeping veil for many years. She grew up and married a man with whom she was deeply in love. She dressed up in black clothes and wore a long black veil, and people thought she was very clever and amusing. Whatever man feels deeply or images clearly, is impressed upon the subconscious mind, and carried out in minutest detail.įor example: a woman I know, when a child, always made believe she was a widow. It is like steam or electricity, and it does what it is directed to do it has no power of induction. The subconscious, is simply power, without direction. There are three departments of the mind, the subconscious, conscious and uperconscious. To train the imagination successfully, man must understand the workings of his mind. The imagination has been called, The Scissors of The Mind, and it is ever cutting, cutting, day by day, the pictures man sees there, and sooner or later he meets his own creations in his outer world. A person with an imaging faculty trained to image only good, brings into his life every righteous desire of his hearthealth, wealth, love, friends, perfect self-expression, his highest ideals.
So we see, to play successfully the game of life, we must train the imaging faculty. It was a very rare disease and difficult to get, but he pictured it continually and read about it until it manifested in his body, and he died, the victim of distorted imagination.
I know of a man who feared a certain disease. 4:23.) This means that what man images, sooner or later externalizes in his affairs. Keep thy heart (or imagination) with all diligence, for out of it are the issues of life. We are taught also, that the imaging faculty plays a leading part in the game of life. If he gives hate, he will receive hate if he gives love, he will receive love if he gives criticism, he will receive criticism if he lies he will be lied to if he cheats he will be cheated. This means that whatever man sends out in word or deed, will return to him what he gives, he will receive. Whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap. Jesus Christ taught that it was a great game of Giving and Receiving. It is a game, however, which cannot be played successfully without the knowledge of spiritual law, and the Old and the New Testaments give the rules of the game with wonderful clearness. Most people consider life a battlebut it is not a battle, it is a game.
