 Your Word is Your Wand
*
Man's word is his wand filled with magic and power!

Jesus Christ emphasized the power of the word; "By thy

words thou shalt be justified and by thy words thou shalt
be condemned," and "death and life are in power of the
tongue."

So man has power to change an unhappy condition by

waving over it the wand of his word. In the place of
sorrow appears joy, in the place of sickness appears
health, in the place of lack appears plenty.

For example: A woman came for a treatment for

prosperity. She possessed just two dollars in the world.

I said: "We bless the two dollars and know that you have
the magic purse of the Spirit; it can never be depleted; as
money goes out, immediately money comes in, under

5
grace in perfect ways. I see it always crammed, jammed
with money: yellow bills, green bills, pink checks, blue
checks, white checks, gold, silver and currency. I see it
bulging with abundance!"

She replied: "I feel my bag heavy with money," and was
so filled with faith that she gave me one of her dollars as
a love offering. I did not dare refuse it and see lack for
her, as it was important that I hold the picture of plenty.

Shortly afterwards she was made a gift of six thousand

dollars. Fearless faith and the spoken word brought it to
pass.

The affirmation of the magic purse is very powerful, as it

brings a vivid picture to the mind. It is impossible not to
see your purse or wallet filled with money when using
the words, "crammed, jammed."

The imaging faculty is the creative faculty and it is

important to choose words which bring a flash of the
fulfillment of the demand.

Never force a picture by visualizing; let the Divine Idea

flash into your conscious mind; then the student is
working according to the Divine Design.

6
(See The Game of Life and How to Play It)

Jesus Christ said: "Ye shall know the Truth and the Truth
shall make you free."

This means that man must know the Truth of every

situation which confronts him.

There is no Truth in lack or limitation. He waves over it

the wand of His Word and the wilderness rejoices and
blossoms as the rose.

Fear, doubt, anxiety, anger, resentment pull down the

cells of the body, shock the nervous system and are the
causes of disease and disaster.

Happiness and health must be earned by absolute control

of the emotional nature.

Power moves but is never moved. When man stands

calm and serene, has a good appetite, feels contented and
happy when appearances are against him, he has reached
mastery. Then he has power to "rebuke the winds and the
waves," to control conditions.

His word is his wand and he transmutes apparent failure

7
into success.

He knows his universal supply is endless and immediate

and all his needs manifest instantly on the external.

For example, a woman at sea awoke in the morning

hearing the fog-horns blowing. A dense fog had settled
on the ocean with no apparent signs of clearing. She
immediately spoke the word: "There are no fogs in
Divine Mind, so let the fog be lifted! I give thanks for the
sun!"

Soon the sun came out, for man has dominion over "the
elements—over all created things."

Every man has power to lift the fog in his life. It may be
a fog of lack of money, love, happiness or health.

Give thanks for the sun!

8
 Success
*
There are certain words or pictures which impress the
subconscious mind.

For example: A man called asking me to speak the word

for his right work.

I gave him the statement: "Behold I have set before thee

the open door of destiny and no man shall shut it!"

It didn't seem to make much impression, so I was

inspired to add: "And no man shall shut it for it is nailed
back!"

The man was electrified and went out walking on air.

Within a few weeks he was called to a distant city to fill
a wonderful position which came about in a miraculous
way.

9
I give another example of a woman who fearlessly
followed a "hunch."

She was working for a small salary when she read my

book, The Game of Life and How to Play It. The thought
came in a flash, to start in business for herself and open a
Tearoom and Candy Shop.

The idea staggered her at first, but it persisted, so she

boldly went forth and procured a shop and assistants.

She "spoke the word for supply," for she did not have
money to back her enterprise. It came in miraculous
ways, and the shop opened!

From the first day it was filled with people, and now it is
"crammed jammed"; they stand in line and wait.

One day, being a holiday, her assistants became gloomy

and said they could not expect to do much business. My
student, however, replied that God was her supply and
every day was a good day.

In the afternoon an old friend came in to see the shop and

bought a two pound box of candy. He gave her a check
and when she looked at it she found it was for a hundred
dollars. So it was indeed a good day! One hundred

10
dollars for a box of candy!

She says every morning she enters the shop with wonder
and gives thanks that she had the fearless faith that wins!

AFFIRMATIONS

The decks are now cleared for Divine Action and my

own comes to me under grace in a magical way.

I now let go of worn-out conditions and worn-out things.

Divine order is established in my mind, body and affairs.

"Behold, I make all things new."

My seeming impossible good now comes to pass, the

unexpected now happens!

11
The "four winds of success" now blow to me my own.

From North, South, East and West comes my endless

good.

The Christ in me is risen, I now fulfill my destiny.

Endless good now comes to me in endless ways.

I clap my cymbals and rejoice, for Jehovah goes before

me making clear, easy and successful my way!

I give thanks for my whirlwind success.

I sweep all before me for I work with the Spirit and

follow the Divine Plan of my life.

12
 *

My Spiritual Sporting blood is up! I am more than equal

to this situation.

I am awake to my good, and gather in the harvest of

endless opportunities.

I am harmonious, poised and magnetic.

I now draw to myself my own. My power is God's power

and is irresistible!

Divine order is now established in my mind, body and

affairs.

I see clearly and act quickly and my greatest expectations

come to pass in a miraculous way.

13
 *

There is no competition on the Spiritual plane. What is

rightfully mine is given me under grace.

I have within me an undiscovered country, which is

revealed to me now, in the name of Jesus Christ.

Behold! I have set before thee the open door of Destiny

and no man shall shut it, for it is nailed back.

The tide of Destiny has turned and everything comes my

way.

I banish the past and now live in the wonderful now,

where happy surprises come to me each day.

14
 *

There are no lost opportunities in Divine Mind, as one

door shut another door opened.

I have a magical work in a magical way, I give magical

service for magical pay.

The genius within me is now released. I now fulfill my

destiny.

I make friends with hindrances and every obstacle

becomes a stepping-stone. Every-thing in the Universe,
visible and invisible, is working to bring to me my own.

I give thanks that the walls of Jericho fall down and all
lack, limitation and failure are wiped out of my

15
consciousness in the name of Jesus Christ.

I am now on the royal road of Success, Happiness and

Abundance, all the traffic goes my way.

I will not weary of well-doing, for when I least expect it I

shall reap.

Jehovah goes before me and the battle is won!

All enemy thoughts are wiped out.

I am victorious in the name of Jesus Christ.

There are no obstacles in Divine Mind, therefore, there is

nothing to obstruct my good.

16
 *

All obstacles now vanish from my pathway.

Doors fly open, gates are lifted and I enter the Kingdom
of fulfillment, under grace.

Rhythm, harmony and balance are now established in my

mind, body and affairs.

New fields of Divine activity now open for me and these

fields are white with the harvest.

Man's will is powerless to interfere with God's will.

God's will is now done in my mind, body and affairs.

God's plan for me is permanent and cannot be budged.

17
I am true to my heavenly vision.

"The Divine Plan of my life now takes shape in definite,

concrete experiences leading to my heart's desire."

I now draw from the Universal Substance, with

irresistible power and determination, that which is mine
by Divine Right.

I do not resist this situation. I put it in the hands of

Infinite Love and Wisdom. Let the Divine idea now
come to pass.

My good now flows to me in a steady, unbroken, ever-

increasing stream of success, happiness and abundance.

18
There are no lost opportunities in the Kingdom.

As one door shuts another door opens.

"There is nothing to fear for there is no power to hurt."

I walk up to the lion on my pathway and find an angel in

armor, and victory in the name of Jesus Christ.

I am in perfect harmony with the working of the law. I

stand aside and let Infinite Intelligence make easy and
successful my way.

The ground I am on is holy ground; The ground I am on

is successful ground.

19
New fields of Divine Activity now open for me.

Unexpected doors fly open, unexpected channels are free.

What God has done for others He can do for me and

more!

I am as necessary to God as He is to me, for I am the

channel to bring His plan to pass.

I do not limit God by seeing limitation in myself. With

God and myself all things are possible.

Giving precedes receiving and my gifts to others precede

God's gifts to me.

20
Every man is a golden link in the chain of my good.

My poise is built upon a rock. I see clearly and act

quickly.

God cannot fail, so I cannot fail. "The warrior within me"

has already won.

Thy Kingdom come in me, Thy will be done in me and

my affairs.

21
 Prosperity
*
(See also The Game of Life and How to Play It.)

Man comes into the world financed by God, with all that
he desires or requires already on his pathway.

This supply is released through faith and the Spoken

Word.

"If thou canst believe, all things are possible."

For example: A woman came to me one day, to tell me

of her experience in using an affirmation she had read in
my book, The Game of Life and How to Play It.

She was without experience but desired a good position

on the stage. She took the affirmation: "Infinite Spirit,
open the way for my great abundance. I am an irresistible
magnet for all that belongs to me by Divine Right."

22
She was given a very important part in a successful opera.

She said: "It was a miracle, due to that affirmation,

which I repeated hundreds of times."

AFFIRMATIONS

I now draw from the abundance of the spheres my

immediate and endless supply.

All channels are free!

All doors are open!

I now release the gold-mine within me. I am linked with

an endless golden stream of prosperity which comes to
me under grace in perfect ways.

Goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my

life and I shall dwell in the house of abundance forever.

23
 *

My God is a God of plenty and I now receive all that I

desire or require, and more.

All that is mine by Divine Right is now released and

reaches me in great avalanches of abundance, under
grace in miraculous ways.

My supply is endless, inexhaustible and immediate and

comes to me under grace in perfect ways.

All channels are free and all doors fly open for my
immediate and endless, Divinely Designed supply.

My ships come in over a calm sea, under grace in perfect

ways.

24
I give thanks that the millions which are mine by Divine
Right, now pour in and pile up under grace in perfect
ways.

Unexpected doors fly open, unexpected channels are

free, and endless avalanches of abundance are poured out
upon me, under grace in perfect ways.

I spend money under direct inspiration wisely and

fearlessly, knowing my supply is endless and immediate.

I am fearless in letting money go out, knowing God is

my immediate and endless supply.

25
 Happiness
*
In that wonderful moving picture, "The Thief of
Bagdad," we were told in letters of light that happiness
must be earned!

It is earned through perfect control of the emotional

nature.

There can be no happiness where there is fear,

apprehension or dread. With perfect faith in God comes a
feeling of security and happiness.

When man knows that there is an invincible power that

protects him and all that he loves, and brings to him
every righteous desire of the heart, he relaxes all nervous
tension and is happy and satisfied.

He is undisturbed by adverse appearances, knowing that

Infinite Intelligence is protecting his interests and

26
utilizing every situation to bring his good to pass.

"I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in a

desert."

Uneasy lies the head that wears a frown. Anger,

resentment, ill-will, jealousy and revenge rob man of his
happiness and bring sickness, failure and poverty in their
wake.

Resentment has ruined more homes than drink and killed

more people than war.

For example: There was a woman who was healthy and

happy and married to a man she loved.

The man died and left part of his estate to a relative. The
woman was filled with resentment. She lost weight, was
unable to do her work, developed gall-stones and became
very ill.

A metaphysician called upon her one day. He said:

"Woman, see what hate and resentment have done to
you; they have caused hard stones to form in your body
and only forgiveness and good-will can cure you."

27
The woman saw the Truth of the statement. She became
harmonious and forgiving and regained her splendid
health.

AFFIRMATIONS

I am now deluged with the happiness that was planned

for me in the Beginning.

My barns are full, my cup flows over with joy.

My endless good now comes to me in endless ways.

I have a wonderful joy in a wonderful way, and my

wonderful joy has come to stay.

Happy surprises come to me each day. "I look with

wonder at that which is before me."

28
 *

I walk boldly up to the lion on my pathway and find it is

a friendly airedale.

I am harmonious, happy, radiant; detached from the

tyranny of fear.

My happiness is built upon a rock. It is mine now and for

all eternity.

My good now flows to me in a steady unbroken, ever-

increasing stream of happiness.

My happiness is God's affair, therefore, no one can

interfere.

29
 *

As I am one with God I am now one with my heart's

desire.

I give thanks for my permanent happiness, my permanent

health, my permanent wealth, my permanent love.

I am harmonious, happy and Divinely magnetic, and now

draw to me my ships over a calm sea.

God's ideas for me are perfect and permanent.

My heart's desire is a perfect idea in Divine Mind,

incorruptible and indestructible, and now comes to pass,
under grace in a magical way.

30
 Love
*
With love usually comes terrific fear. Nearly every
woman comes into the world with a mythical woman in
the back of her mind who is to rob her of her love.

She has been called "the other woman." Of course it

comes from woman's belief in duality. So long as she
visualizes interference, it will come.

It is usually very difficult for a woman to see herself

loved by the man she loves, so these affirmations are to
impress the truth of the situation upon her subconscious
mind, for in reality there is only oneness.

(See The Game of Life and How to Play It.)

AFFIRMATIONS

As I am one with God, the Undivided One, I am one with

31
my undivided love and undivided happiness.

The Light of the Christ within now wipes out all fear,
doubt, anger and resentment. God's love pours through
me, an irresistible magnetic current. I see only perfection
and draw to me my own.

Divine Love, through me, now dissolves all seeming

obstacles and makes clear, easy and successful my way.

I love everyone and everyone loves me. My apparent

enemy becomes my friend, a golden link in the chain of
my good.

I am at peace with myself and with the whole world. I

love everyone and everyone loves me.

The flood gates of my good now open.

32
33
 Marriage
*
Unless marriage is built upon the rock of oneness it
cannot stand; "Two souls with but a single thought, two
hearts that beat as one."

The poet understood this, for unless man and wife are
living the same thoughts (or living in the same thought
world), they must inevitably drift apart.

Thought is a tremendous vibratory force and man is

drawn to his thought creations.

For example: A man and woman married and were

apparently happy. The man became successful and his
tastes improved, but the wife still lived in a limited
consciousness.

Whenever the man bought anything he went to the best

shops and selected what he needed regardless of price.

34
Whenever the wife went out she haunted the Five and
Ten Cent Stores.

He was living (in thought), on Fifth Avenue and her

thought world was on Third Avenue.

Eventually the break and separation came.

We see this so often in the cases of rich and successful

men who desert their faithful, hardworking wives later in
life.

The wife must keep pace with her husband's taste and
ambitions and live in his thought world, for where a man
thinketh in his heart there is he.

There is for each person his "other half' or divine

selection.

These two are one in their thought worlds. These are the
two "whom God has joined together and no man shall (or
can) part asunder." "The twain shall be made one," for in
the superconscious mind of each is the same Divine Plan.

AFFIRMATION

35
I give thanks that the marriage made in heaven is now
made manifest upon earth.

"The twain shall be made one" now and for all eternity.

36
 Forgiveness
*

AFFIRMATIONS

I forgive everyone and everyone forgives me. The gates

swing open for my good.

I call on the law of forgiveness. I am free from mistakes

and the consequences of mistakes. I am under grace and
not under karmic law.

Though my mistakes be as scarlet, I shall be washed

whiter than snow.

37
 *

What didn't happen in the Kingdom never happened

anywhere.

38
 Words of Wisdom
*

AFFIRMATIONS

"Faith without nerve is dead."

There is never a slip 'twixt the right cup and the right lip.

Never look or you'd never leap.

God works in unexpected places, through unexpected

39
people, at unexpected times, His wonders to perform.

Power moves but is never moved.

Loving your neighbor means not to limit your neighbor

in word, thought or deed.

"Never argue with a hunch."

Christopher Columbus followed a hunch.

The Kingdom of Heaven is the realm of perfect ideas.

40
It is dark before the dawn but the dawn never fails. Trust
in the dawn.

When in doubt play trumps, do the fearless thing.

It is the fearless things that count.

Never do today what intuition says to do tomorrow.

It's a great life if you don't reason.

Regard your neighbor as yourself.

41
Never hinder another's hunch.

Selfishness binds and blocks. Every loving and unselfish

thought has in it the germ of success.

Be not weary of make-believing. When you least expect

it you shall reap.

Faith is elastic. Stretch it to the end of your

demonstration.

Before you call you are answered, for the supply

precedes the demand.

What you do for others you are doing for yourself.

42
 *

Every act committed while angry or resentful brings

unhappy reaction.

Sorrow and disappointment follow in the wake of deceit

and subterfuge. The way of the transgressor is hard. "No
good thing will be withheld from him who walks
uprightly."

There is no power in evil. It is nothing; therefore can

only come to nothing.

Fear and impatience demagnetize. Poise magnetizes.

Drown the reasoning mind with your affirmation.

Jehoshaphat clapped his cymbals so that he wouldn't hear

43
himself think.

All bondage is an illusion of the race consciousness.

There is always a way out of every situation, under
grace. Every man is free to do the will of God.

Sure-ism is stronger than Optimism.

"Divine ideas never conflict."

It is dangerous to stop in the middle of a hunch.

Infinite Spirit is never too late.

44
 Faith
*
Hope looks forward, Faith knows it has already received
and acts accordingly.

In my classes I often emphasize the importance of

digging ditches (or preparing for the thing asked for)
which shows active faith and brings the demonstration to
pass.

(See The Game of Life and How to Play It.)

A man in my class, whom I called "the life of the party,"

because he always tried to find a question I couldn't
answer, but he never succeeded, asked: "Why is it then, a
lot of women who prepare Hope Chests never get
married?" I replied: "Because it is a Hope Chest and not
a Faith Chest."

The prospective bride also violates law in telling others

45
about it. Her friends come in and sit on the Hope Chest
and either doubt or hope she'll never succeed.

"Pray to thy Father which is in secret, and thy Father

which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly."

The student should never talk of a demonstration until it

"has jelled," or comes to pass on the external.

So a Hope Chest should become a Faith Chest and be

kept from the public eye, and the word spoken for the
Divine Selection of a husband, under grace in a perfect
way.

Those whom God hath joined together no thought can

put asunder.

AFFIRMATIONS

Adverse appearances work for my good, for God utilizes

every person and every situation to bring to me my
heart's desire.

"Hindrances are friendly" and obstacles spring boards!

I now jump into my good!

46
 *

As I am one with the Undivided One, I am one with my

undivided good.

As the needle in the compass is true to the north, what is

rightfully mine is true to me.

I am the North!

"I am now linked by an invisible, unbreakable magnetic

cord with all that belongs to me by Divine Right!

Thy Kingdom is come, Thy will is done in me and my

affairs.

Every plan my Father in heaven has not planned is

47
dissolved and obliterated and the Divine Design of my
life now comes to pass.

What God has given me can never be taken from me for

His gifts are for all eternity.

My faith is built upon a rock and my heart's desire now

comes to pass, under grace in a miraculous way.

I see my good in a golden glow of glory. I see my fields

shining white with the harvest.

God is my unfailing and immediate supply of all good.

I am poised and powerful, my greatest expectations are

48
realized in a miraculous way.

I water my wilderness with faith and suddenly it

blossoms as the rose.

I now exercise my fearless faith in three ways—by

thinking, speaking and acting.

I am unmoved by appearances, therefore appearances

move.

I stand steadfast, immovable, giving thanks for my

seeming impossible good to come to pass, for I know,
with God, it is easy of accomplishment, and His time is
now.

God's plans for me are built upon a rock. What was mine
in the beginning, is mine now and ever shall be mine.

49
 *

I know there is nothing to defeat God, therefore, there is

nothing to defeat me.

I wait patiently on the Lord, I trust in Him, I fret not

myself because of evil doers (for every man is a golden
link in the chain of my good) and He now gives to me
the desires of my heart! (See 37th Psalm.)

I have now the fearless faith of the Christ within. At my

approach barriers vanish and obstacles disappear.

I am steadfast, immovable, for the fields are already

white with the harvest. My fearless faith in God now
brings the Divine Design of my life to pass.

50
All fear is now banished in the name of Jesus Christ, for
I know there is no power to hurt.

God is the one and only power.

I am in perfect harmony with the working of the law, for

I know that Infinite Intelligence knows nothing of
obstacles, time or space. It knows only completion.

God works in unexpected and magic ways His wonders

to perform.

I now prepare for the fulfillment of my heart's desire. I

show God I believe His promise will be kept.

I now dig my ditches deep with faith and understanding

and my heart's desire comes to pass in a surprising way.

51
 *

My ditches will be filled at the right time, bringing all

that I have asked for, and more!

I now "put to flight the army of the aliens" (negative

thoughts). They feed on fear and starve on faith.

God's ideas cannot be moved, therefore, what is mine by

Divine Right will always be with me.

I give thanks that I now receive the righteous desires of

my heart.

Mountains are removed, valleys exalted and every

crooked place made straight.

I am in the Kingdom of fulfillment.

52
 *

I have perfect confidence in God and God has perfect

confidence in me.

God's promises are built upon a rock. As I have asked I

must receive.

"Let me never wander from my heart's desire."

I do not limit the Holy One of Israel, in word, thought or

deed.

With God all things are easy and possible now.

I now stand aside and watch God work.

53
It interests me to see how quickly and easily He brings
the desires of my heart to pass.

Before I called I was answered and I now gather in my

harvest in a remarkable way.

He who watches over my heart's desire "Neither

slumbers nor sleeps."

Seeming impossible doors now open, seeming

impossible channels are free, in the name of Jesus Christ.

My good is a perfect and permanent idea in Divine Mind,

and must manifest for there is nothing to prevent.

54
I cast every burden on the Christ within and I go free!

(See The Game of Life and How to Play It.)

55
 Loss
*
If man loses anything it shows there is a belief of loss in
his subconscious mind. As he erases this false belief, the
article, or its equivalent will appear on the external.

For example: A woman lost a silver pencil in a theatre.

She made every effort to find it but it was not returned.

She denied loss, taking the affirmation: "I deny loss,

there is no loss in Divine Mind, therefore I cannot lose
that pencil. I will receive it or its equivalent."

Several weeks elapsed. One day she was with a friend

who wore about her neck on a cord, a beautiful gold
pencil, who turned to her and said: "Do you want this
pencil? I paid fifty dollars for it at Tiffany's."

The woman was aghast, and replied (almost forgetting to

thank her friend) "Oh! God aren't you wonderful! The

56
silver pencil wasn't good enough for me!"

Man can only lose what doesn't belong to him by Divine

Right, or isn't good enough for him.

AFFIRMATIONS

There is no loss in Divine Mind, therefore, I cannot lose

anything that is rightfully mine.

Infinite Intelligence is never too late! Infinite Intelligence

knows the way of recovery.

There is no loss in Divine Mind, therefore, I cannot lose

anything which belongs to me.

It will be restored or I receive its equivalent.

57
 Debt
*
If a man is in debt or people owe him money, it shows
that a belief of debt is in his subconscious mind.

This belief must be neutralized in order to change

conditions.

For example: A woman came to me saying a man had

owed her a thousand dollars for years which she could
not compel him to pay.

I said: "You must work on yourself, not the man," and

gave her this statement: "I deny debt, there is no debt in
Divine Mind, no man owes me anything, all is squared. I
send that man love and forgiveness."

In a few weeks she received a letter from him saying he

intended sending the money and in about a month came
the thousand dollars.

58
If the student owes money, change the statement: "There
is no debt in Divine Mind, therefore, I owe no man
anything, all is squared.

All my obligations are now wiped out, under grace in a

perfect way."

AFFIRMATIONS

I deny debt, there is no debt in Divine Mind, therefore, I

owe no man anything.

All obligations are now wiped out under grace in a

miraculous way.

I deny debt, there is no debt in Divine Mind, no man

owes me anything, all is squared. I send forth love and
forgiveness.

59
 Sales
*
A woman who lived in a country town wished to sell her
house and furniture. It was in the winter with snow so
deep it was almost impossible for cars or wagons to
reach her door.

As she had asked God to sell her furniture to the right

person for the right price she was unmindful of
appearances.

She polished the furniture, pushed it into the middle of

the room and prepared to sell it.

She said: "I never looked out of the window at the

blizzard, I simply trusted God's promises."

In miraculous ways people drove up and all the furniture

was sold, and the house also, without paying any
commission to an agent.

 Guidance
*
Always on man's pathway is his message or his lead.

For example: A woman was much troubled over an

unhappy situation. She thought to herself, "Will it ever
clear up?"

Her maid was standing near and commenced to tell her

of her experiences. The woman was too worried to be
interested but listened patiently. The maid was saying: "I
worked in a hotel once where there was a very amusing
gardener, he always said such funny things. It had been
raining for three days and I said to him: 'Do you think it
will ever clear up?' And he replied, 'My God, doesn't it
always clear up?'"

The woman was amazed! It was the answer to her

thoughts. She said reverently, "Yes, with my God it
always clears up!" Soon after, her problem did clear up
in an unexpected way.

Infinite Spirit, give me wisdom to make the most of my

opportunities.

Never let me miss a trick.

I am always under direct inspiration. I know just what to

Way.

All power is given unto me to be meek and lowly of

heart.

64
I am willing to come last, therefore, I come first!

I now place my personal will upon the altar.

Your will, not my will; Your way not my way; Your

time not my time—and in the twinkling of an eye it is
done!

There are no mysteries in the Kingdom. Whatever I

should know will now be revealed to me, under grace.

I am a perfect non-resistant instrument for God to work

through, and His perfect plan for me now comes to pass
in a magic way.

AFFIRMATION

There is no loss of memory in Divine Mind, therefore, I

recollect everything I should remember and I forget all
that is not for my good.

67
 The Divine Design
*
(See also The Game of Life and How to Play It.)

There is a Divine Design for each man!

Just as the perfect picture of the oak is in the acorn, the

divine pattern of his life is in the super-conscious mind
of man.

In the Divine Design there is no limitation, only health,

wealth, love and perfect self-expression.

So on man's pathway there is always a Divine Selection.

Each day he must live according to the Divine Plan or
have unhappy reactions.

For example: A woman moved into a new apartment

which she had almost furnished, when the thought came
to her: "On that side of the room should stand a Chinese

68
cabinet!

Not long after, she was walking by an antique shop. She

glanced in and there stood a magnificent Chinese cabinet
about eight feet high, elaborately carved.

She entered and asked the price. The salesman said it

was worth a thousand dollars but the woman who owned
it was willing to take less. The man added: "What will
you offer for it?" The woman paused and the price "Two
hundred dollars" came into her mind, so she answered:
"Two hundred dollars." The man said he would let her
know if the offer were satisfactory.

She did not want to cheat anyone or get anything which

was not rightfully hers, so going home she said
repeatedly: "If it's mine I can't lose it and of it isn't mine,
I don't want it." It was a snowy day and she said she
emphasized her words by kicking the snow from right to
left, clearing a pathway to her apartment.

Several days elapsed when she was notified that the

woman was willing to sell the cabinet for two hundred
dollars.

There is a supply for every demand, from Chinese

cabinets to millions of dollars.

69
"Before ye call I shall answer," but, unless it is the
Divinely Selected cabinet or millions they would never
bring happiness.

"Except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that
build it." (Psalm 127-1.)

AFFIRMATIONS

I let go of everything not divinely designed for me, and

the perfect plan of my life now comes to pass.

What is mine by Divine Right can never be taken from

me.

God's perfect plan for me is built upon a rock.

I follow the magic path of intuition and find myself in

70
my Promised Land, under grace.

My mind, body and affairs are now molded according to

the Divine pattern within.

"God is the only power and that power is within me.

There is only one plan, God's plan, and that plan now
comes to pass."

"I give thanks that I now bring forth from the Universal
Substance everything that satisfies all the righteous
desires of my heart."

The divine Design of my life now comes to pass. I now

fill the place that I can fill and no one else can fill. I now
do the things which I can do and no one else can do.

71
 *

I am fully equipped for the Divine Plan of my life; I am

more than equal to the situation.

All doors now open for happy surprises and the Divine
Plan of my life is speeded up under grace.

72
 Health
*
When man is harmonious and happy he is healthy! All
sickness comes from sin or violation of Spiritual Law.

Jesus Christ said: "Be thou healed, your sins are

forgiven."

Resentment, ill-will, hate, fear, etc., etc., tear down the

cells of the body and poison the blood. (See The Game
of Life and How to Play It.)

Accidents, old age and death itself, come from holding

wrong mental pictures.

When man sees himself as God sees him, he will become

a radiant being, timeless, birthless and deathless, for
"God made man in His likeness and in His image."

73
 AFFIRMATIONS

Thou in me art:

Eternal joy.
Eternal youth.
Eternal wealth.
Eternal health.
Eternal love.

83
 The Elements
*
Man is made in God's likeness and image (Imagination)
and is given power and dominion over all created things.

He has power to "rebuke the winds and the waves,"

check floods or bring rain when it is needed.

There is a tribe of American Indians who live in the

desert country and depend on the power of prayer only,
to bring rain to water their crops.

They have a rain dance, which is a form of prayer, but no

chief is allowed to take part who has any fear.

They give exhibitions of courage before they are

admitted to the ceremonies.

A woman, who was an eye-witness, told me that out of a

blue sky came a deluge of rain; the sun still shining.

Divinely planned conditions with the Divinely planned

89
 Miscellaneous
*
The thing you dislike or hate will surely come upon you,
for when man hates, he makes a vivid picture in the
subconscious mind and it objectifies.

The only way to erase these pictures is through non-

resistance.

(See The Game of Life and How to Play It.)

For example: A woman was interested in a man who told

her repeatedly of his charming women cousins.

She was jealous and resentful and he passed out of her

life.

Later on she met another man to whom she was much

attracted. In the course of their conversation he
mentioned some women cousins he was very fond of.

90
She resented it, then laughed, for here were her old
friends "the cousins" back again.

This time she tried non-resistance. She blessed all the

cousins in the Universe and sent them good-will, for she
knew if she didn't, every man she met would be stocked
up with women relations.

It was successful for she never heard cousins mentioned

again.

This is the reason so many people have unhappy

experiences repeated in their lives.

I knew a woman who bragged of her troubles. She would

go about saying to people; "I know what trouble is!" and
then wait for their words of sympathy.

Of course, the more she mentioned her troubles, the more

she had, for by her words she "was condemned."

She should have used her words to neutralize her

troubles instead of to multiply them.

For example—had she said repeatedly: "I cast every

burden upon the Christ within and I go free," and not

91
voiced her sorrows, they would have faded from her life,
for "by your words you are justified."

"I will give to thee the land that thou seest."

Man is ever reaping on the external what he has sown in

his thought world.

For example: A woman needed money and was walking

along the street making the affirmation that God was her
immediate supply.

She looked down and at her feet was a two dollar bill,
which she picked up.

A man standing near (a watchman in a building), said to

her: "Lady, did you pick up some money? I thought it
was a piece of chewing-gum paper. A lot of people
walked over it, but when you came it opened up like a
leaf."

The others, thinking lack, had passed over it, but at her
words of faith it unfurled.

92
So with the opportunities in life—one man sees, another
passes by.

"Faith without works (or action) is dead."

The student, in order to bring into manifestation the

answer to his prayer must show active faith.

For example: A woman came to me asking me to speak

the word for the renting of a room.

I gave her the statement: "I give thanks that the room is
now rented to the right and perfect man for the right
price, giving perfect satisfaction."

Several weeks elapsed but the room had not been rented.

I asked: "Have you shown active faith? Have you

followed every hunch in regard to the room?" She
replied: "I had a hunch to get a lamp for the room, but I
decided I couldn't afford it." I said: "You'll never rent the
room until you get the lamp, for in buying the lamp you
are acting your faith, impressing the subconscious mind
with certainty."

93
I asked: "What is the price of the lamp?" She answered:
"Four dollars." I exclaimed: "Four dollars standing
between you and the perfect man!"

She became so enthusiastic, she bought two lamps.

About a week elapsed and in walked the perfect man. He

did not smoke and paid the rent in advance and fulfilled
her ideal in every way.

Unless you become as a little child and dig your ditches

you shall in no wise enter the Kingdom of manifestation.

(See The Game of Life and How to Play It.)

"Without the vision my people perish." Unless man has

some objective, some Promised Land to look forward to,
he begins to perish.

We see it so often in small country towns, in the men

who sit around a stove all winter, who "Ain't got no
ambition."

Within each one is an undiscovered country, a gold mine.

94
I knew a man in a country town called "Magnolia
Charlie," because he always found the first magnolia in
the spring.

He was a shoemaker, but every afternoon left his work to

go to the station to meet the four-fifteen train, from a
distant city.

They were the only romances in his life, the first

magnolia and the four-fifteen train.

He felt vaguely the call of the vision in the

superconscious mind.

No doubt, the Divine Design for him included travel and

perhaps he was to become a genius in the plant world.

Through the spoken word the Divine Design may be

released and each one fulfill his destiny.

"I now see clearly the perfect plan of my life. Divine

enthusiasm fires me and I now fulfill my destiny."

The Spiritual attitude towards money is to know that God

is man's supply, and that he draws it from the abundance

95
of the spheres, through his faith and spoken word.

When man realizes this he loses all greed for money, and
is fearless in letting it go out.

With his magic purse of the Spirit, his supply is endless

and immediate, and he knows also that giving precedes
receiving.

For example: "A woman came to me asking me to speak

the word for five hundred dollars by the first of August.
(It was then about the first of July.)

I knew her very well, and said: "The trouble with you is
you don't give enough. You must open your channels of
supply by giving."

She had accepted an invitation to visit a friend and did

not want to go on account of the formality.

She said: "Please treat me to be polite for three weeks,

and I want to get away as soon as possible, and be sure to
speak the word for the five hundred dollars."

She went to the friend's house, was unhappy and restless

and tried continually to leave, but was always persuaded

96
to stay longer.

She remembered my advice, however, and gave the

people about her presents. Whenever possible she made a
little gift.

It was nearing the first of August and no signs of the five

hundred dollars, and no way of escape from the visit.

The last day of July she said: "Oh God! maybe I haven't
given enough!" So she tipped all the servants more than
she had intended.

The first of August, her hostess said to her: "My dear, I

want to make you a gift," and she handed her a check for
five hundred dollars!

God works in unexpected ways his wonders to perform.

AFFIRMATIONS

God is incapable of separation or division; therefore, my

good is incapable of separation or division. I am one with
my undivided good.

97
 *

All that is mine by Divine Right is now released and

reaches me in a perfect way under Grace.

God's work is finished now and must manifest.

I serve only faith and my unlimited abundance is made

manifest.

I am undisturbed by appearances. I trust in God—and He

now brings to me the desires of my heart.

My good now overtakes me in a surprising way.

98
The Divine Plan of my life cannot be tampered with. It is
incorruptible and indestructible. It awaits only my
recognition.

There is no there—there is only here.

Reveal to me the way, let me see clearly the blessing

which Thou hast given me.

Let Thy blessed will be done in me this day.

Hunches are my hounds of Heaven—they lead me in the

perfect way.

All things I seek are now seeking me.

Divine Activity is now operating in my mind, body and

affairs, whether I see it or not.

Since I am one with the Only Presence, I am one with

my heart's desire.

I now have the single eye of the Spirit and see only
completion.

I am a perfect idea in Divine Mind and I am always in

my right place doing my right work at the right time for
the right pay.

The Columbus in you will see you through.

100
 *

I am an irresistible magnet for checks, bills and currency

—for everything that belongs to me by Divine Right.

Thou in me art completion. As I have asked I must

receive.

The law of God is the law of increase and I give thanks

for increase under grace in perfect ways.

I dwell in a sea of abundance. I see clearly my

inexhaustible supply. I see clearly just what to do.

My "World of the Wondrous" now swings into

manifestation and I enter my Promised Land under grace!

101
Great peace have I who love thy law of nonresistance
and nothing shall offend me.

Thou in me art Inspiration, Revelation and Illumination.

Nothing is too good to be true

Nothing is too wonderful to happen

Nothing is too good to last

102
 Conclusion
*
Choose the affirmation which appeals to you the most
and wave it over the situation which confronts you.

It is your magic wand, for your word is God in action.

"It shall not return unto me void but shall accomplish

that whereunto it is sent." (Isaiah 55-11.)

"But I say, have they not heard? Yes, verily, their sound
went into all the earth and their words unto the end of the
world." (Romans 10-18.)
