 Your Word is Your Wand
Manʹs word is his wand filled with magic and power!

Jesus Christ emphasized the power of the word; ʺBy thy

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

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: ʺWe 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 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!ʺ

She replied: ʺI feel my bag heavy with money,ʺ 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, ʺcrammed, jammed.ʺ

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.

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

Jesus Christ said: ʺYe shall know the Truth and the Truth
shall make you free.ʺ

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 ʺrebuke the winds and the waves,ʺ to
control conditions.

His word is his wand and he transmutes apparent failure

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: ʺThere are no fogs in Divine Mind, so let
the fog be lifted! I give thanks for the sun!ʺ

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

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!

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: ʺBehold I have set before thee the
open door of destiny and no man shall shut it!ʺ

It didnʹt seem to make much impression, so I was inspired

to add: ʺAnd no man shall shut it for it is nailed back!ʺ

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.

I give another example of a woman who fearlessly followed

a ʺhunch.ʺ

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 ʺspoke the word for supply,ʺ 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
ʺcrammed jammedʺ; 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 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!

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

has already won.

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

affairs.

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.

ʺIf thou canst believe, all things are possible.ʺ

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: ʺInfinite Spirit, open the
way for my great abundance. I am an irresistible magnet
for all that belongs to me by Divine Right.ʺ

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

She said: ʺIt was a miracle, due to that affirmation, which I

repeated hundreds of times.ʺ

AFFIRMATIONS
I now draw from the abundance of the spheres my
immediate and endless supply. All channels are free!

All doors are open!

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.

I give thanks that the millions which are mine by Divine

Right, now pour in and pile up under grace in perfect ways.

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.

HAPPINESS
In that wonderful moving picture, ʺThe Thief of Bagdad,ʺ
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 andhappiness.

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 utilizing
every situation to bring his good to pass.

ʺI will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in a desert.ʺ

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:

ʺWoman, 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.ʺ

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. ʺI look with wonder

at that which is before me.ʺ
———

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 Godʹs affair, therefore, no one can
interfere.

———

As I am one with God I am now one with my heartʹs 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.

———

Godʹs ideas for me are perfect and permanent.

———
My heartʹs desire is a perfect idea in Divine Mind,
incorruptible and indestructible, and now comes to pass,
under grace in a magical way.

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 ʺthe other woman.ʺ Of course it comes

from womanʹs 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

my undivided love and undivided happiness.

———
The Light of the Christ within now wipes out all fear,
doubt, anger and resentment. Godʹs 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.

MARRIAGE
Unless marriage is built upon the rock of oneness it cannot
stand; ʺTwo souls with but a single thought, two hearts that
beat as one.ʺ
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.

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 husbandʹs taste and
ambitions and live in his thought world, for where a man
thinketh in his heartthere is he.

There is for each person his ʺother halfʹ or divine selection.

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

AFFIRMATION

I give thanks that the marriage made in heaven is now

made manifest upon earth.

ʺThe twain shall be made oneʺ now and for all eternity.

FORGIVENESS
———

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.

———

What didnʹt happen in the Kingdom never happened

anywhere.

WORDS OF WISDOM
———

ʺFaith without nerve is dead.ʺ

———

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

Never look or youʹd never leap.

———

God works in unexpected places, through unexpected

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.

———

ʺNever argue with a hunch.ʺ

———

Christopher Columbus followed a hunch.

———

The Kingdom of Heaven is the realm of perfect ideas.

———

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.

———

Itʹs a great life if you donʹt reason.

———

Regard your neighbor as yourself.

———

Never hinder anotherʹs 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.

———

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. ʺNo
good thing will be withheld from him who walks uprightly.ʺ

———

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 wouldnʹt hear
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.

———

ʺDivine ideas never conflict.ʺ

———

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

Infinite Spirit is never too late.

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 ʺthe life of the party,ʺ
because he always tried to find a question I couldnʹt
answer, but he never succeeded, asked: ʺWhy is it then, a
lot of women who prepare Hope Chests never get married?ʺ
I replied: ʺBecause it is a Hope Chest and not a Faith Chest.ʺ

The prospective bride also violates law in telling others

about it. Her friends come in and sit on the Hope Chest and
either doubt or hope sheʹll never succeed.

ʺPray to thy Father which is in secret, and thy Father which

seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.ʺ

The student should never talk of a demonstration until it

ʺhas jelled,ʺ 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 heartʹs
desire.

ʺHindrances are friendlyʺ and obstacles spring boards! I

now jump into my good!

———

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!

———

ʺI 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

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 heartʹs 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

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.
———

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

———

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.

———

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 heartʹs desire. I
show God I believe His promise will be kept.

———

I now dig my ditches deep with faith and understanding

and my heartʹs desire comes to pass in a surprising way.

———

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

have asked for, and more!

———

I now ʺput to flight the army of the aliensʺ (negative

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

———

Godʹs 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.

———

I have perfect confidence in God and God has perfect

confidence in me.

———

Godʹs promises are built upon a rock. As I have asked I

must receive.

———

ʺLet me never wander from my heartʹs desire.ʺ

———

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.

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 heartʹs desire ʺNeither slumbers

nor sleeps.ʺ

———

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.
———

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

The Game of Life and How to Play It.)

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: ʺI deny loss, there is

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

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: ʺDo you want this pencil? I paid
fifty dollars for it at Tiffanyʹs.ʺ

The woman was aghast, and replied (almost forgetting to

thank her friend) ʺOh! God arenʹt you wonderful! The silver
pencil wasnʹt good enough for me!ʺ
Man can only lose what doesnʹt belong to him by Divine
Right, or isnʹt good enough for him.

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.

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: ʺYou must work on yourself, not the man,ʺ and gave
her this statement: ʺI deny debt, there is no debt in Divine
Mind, no man owes me anything, all is squared. I send that
man love and forgiveness.ʺ

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.

If the student owes money, change the statement: ʺThere 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.ʺ

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.

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: ʺI never looked out of the window at the blizzard,

I simply trusted Godʹs promises.ʺ

In miraculous ways people drove up and all the furniture

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

Faith never looks out of the window at the blizzard, it

simply prepares for the blessing asked for.

AFFIRMATION

I give thanks that this article (or property) is now sold to the
right person or persons for the right price, giving perfect
satisfaction.
INTERVIEWS
———

There is no competition on the Spiritual plane. What is mine

is given me, under grace.

———

I am identified in love with the Spirit of this person (or

persons). God protects my interests and the Divine Idea
now comes out of this situation.

GUIDANCE
Always on manʹs pathway is his message or his lead.

For example: A woman was much troubled over an

unhappy situation. She thought to herself, ʺWill it ever clear
up?ʺ

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:

ʺI 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: ʹDo you think it
will ever clear up?ʹ And he replied, ʹMy God, doesnʹt it
always clear up?ʹʺ
The woman was amazed! It was the answer to her thoughts.
She said reverently,

ʺYes, with my God it always clears up!ʺ 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 do

and give instant obedience to my intuitive leads.

———

My angel of destiny goes before me, keeping me in the

Way.

———

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

PROTECTION
———

I am surrounded by the White Light of the Christ, through

which nothing negative can penetrate.
———

I walk in the Light of the Christ and my fear giants dwindle

into nothingness. There is nothing to oppose my good.

MEMORY
———

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.

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 manʹs 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:
ʺOn that side of the room should stand a Chinese 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: ʺWhat will you offer
for it?ʺ The woman paused and the price ʺTwo hundred
dollarsʺ came into her mind, so she answered: ʺTwo
hundred dollars.ʺ 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:
ʺIf itʹs mine I canʹt lose it and of it isnʹt mine, I donʹt want it.ʺ 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.
ʺBefore ye call I shall answer,ʺ but, unless it is the Divinely
Selected cabinet or millions they would never bring
happiness.

ʺExcept the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that
build it.ʺ (Psalm 127‐1.)

———

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.

Godʹs perfect plan for me is built upon a rock.

———

I follow the magic path of intuition and find myself in my

Promised Land, under grace.

———

My mind, body and affairs are now molded according to

the Divine pattern within.
———

ʺGod is the only power and that power is within me. There
is only one plan, Godʹs plan, and that plan now comes to
pass.ʺ

———

ʺI give thanks that I now bring forth from the Universal

Substance everything that satisfies all the righteous desires
of my heart.ʺ

———

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.

———

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.

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

Jesus Christ said: ʺBe thou healed, your sins are forgiven.ʺ

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 ʺGod
made man in His likeness and in His image.ʺ

———

I deny fatigue, for there is nothing to tire me. I live in the

Kingdom of eternal joy and absorbing interests.
My body is ʺthe body electric,ʺ timeless and tireless,
birthless and deathless. Time and space are obliterated!

———

I live in the wonderful now, birthless and deathless! I am

one with The One!

———

Thou in me art:

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

Eternal love.

Eternal life.

———

I am a Spiritual Being—my body is perfect, made in His

likeness and image.

The Light of the Christ now streams through every cell. I

give thanks for my radiant health.

EYES
(Imperfect vision. Correspondences—Fear, suspicion, seeing
obstacles. Watching for unhappy events to come to pass—living
in the past or future—not living in the NOW.)

———

The Light of the Christ now floods my eyeballs. I have the

crystal clear vision of the Spirit. I see clearly and distinctly
there are no obstacles on my pathway. I see clearly the
fulfillment of my heartʹs desire.

———

I have the X‐ray eye of the Spirit. I see through apparent

obstacles. I see clearly the miracle come to pass.

———

I have the crystal clear vision of the Spirit, I see clearly the
open road. There are no obstacles on my pathway. I now
see miracles and wonders come to pass.

———
I give thanks for my perfect sight. I see God in every face, I
see good in every situation.

———

I have the crystal clear vision of the Spirit. I look up and

down and all around, for my good comes from North,
South, East and West.

———

My eyes are Godʹs eyes, perfect and flawless. The Light of

the Christ floods my eyeballs and streams on my pathway.
I see clearly there are no lions on my way, only angels and
endless blessings.

ANAEMIA

(Correspondence—Unfed desires—lack of happiness.)

———

I am nourished by the Spirit within. Every cell in my body

is filled with light. I give thanks for radiant health and
endless happiness. (This statement may be used in the healing
of any disease.)
EARS
(Deafness—Correspondence—Strong personal will, stubbornness
and a desire not to hear certain things.)

———

My ears are the ears of Spirit. The Light of the Christ now
streams through my ears dissolving all hardness or
malformation.

I hear clearly the voice of intuition and give instant

obedience. I hear clearly glad tidings of great joy.

RHEUMATISM
(Correspondence—Fault finding, criticism, etc.)

———

The Light of the Christ now floods my consciousness

dissolving all acid thoughts. I love everyone and everyone
loves me.

I give thanks for my radiant health and happiness.

FALSE GROWTHS
(Correspondence—Jealousy, hatred, resentment, fear, etc., etc.)
———

Every plant my Father in Heaven has not planted shall be

rooted up. All false ideas in my consciousness are now
obliterated. The Light of the Christ streams through every
cell and I give thanks for my radiant health and happiness
now and forevermore.

HEART DISEASE
(Correspondence—Fear, Anger, etc.)

———

My heart is a perfect idea in Divine Mind and is now in its

right place, doing its right work.

It is a happy heart, a fearless heart and a loving heart.

The Light of the Christ streams through every cell and I

give thanks for my radiant health.

ANIMALS

(Dog: for example)

———

AFFIRMATIONS

I deny any appearance of disorder. This dog is a perfect

idea in Divine Mind and now expresses Godʹs perfect Idea
of a perfect dog.

———

Infinite Intelligence illumines and directs this animal. It is a

perfect idea in Divine Mind and is always in its right place.

THE ELEMENTS
Man is made in Godʹs likeness and image (Imagination) and
is given power and dominion over all created things.

He has power to ʺrebuke the winds and the waves,ʺ 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.

FIRE ‐ AFFIRMATION

Fire is manʹs friend and is always in its right place doing its
right work.

———

DROUGHT ‐ AFFIRMATION

There is no drought in Divine Mind. I give thanks for the

right amount of rain to nourish these crops or garden.

I see clearly this gentle downpour and the manifestation is

now.

———

STORMS ‐ AFFIRMATION

The Christ within now rebukes the winds and the waves
and there comes a great calm.
I see clearly peace established on land and sea.

JOURNEY
AFFIRMATION

I give thanks for the Divinely planned journey under

Divinely planned conditions with the Divinely planned
supply.

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.
She resented it, then laughed, for here were her old friends
ʺthe cousinsʺ 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 didnʹt, 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;

ʺI know what trouble is!ʺ 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 ʺwas condemned.ʺ

She should have used her words to neutralize her troubles

instead of to multiply them.

For example—had she said repeatedly: ʺI cast every burden

upon the Christ within and I go free,ʺ and not voiced her
sorrows, they would have faded from her life, for

ʺby your words you are justified.ʺ

———

ʺI will give to thee the land that thou seest.ʺ

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: ʺLady, 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.ʺ

The others, thinking lack, had passed over it, but at her
words of faith it unfurled. So with the opportunities in
life—one man sees, another passes by.

———

ʺFaith without works (or action) is dead.ʺ

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: ʺI give thanks that the room is now
rented to the right and perfect man for the right price,
giving perfect satisfaction.ʺ

Several weeks elapsed but the room had not been rented.

I asked: ʺHave you shown active faith? Have you followed

every hunch in regard to the room?ʺ She replied: ʺI had a
hunch to get a lamp for the room, but I decided I couldnʹt
afford it.ʺ I said: ʺYouʹll 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.ʺ

I asked: ʺWhat is the price of the lamp?ʺ She answered:

ʺFour dollars.ʺ I exclaimed:

ʺFour dollars standing between you and the perfect man!ʺ

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.)

———

ʺWithout the vision my people perish.ʺ 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 ʺAin’t got no ambition.ʺ

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

I knew a man in a country town called ʺMagnolia Charlie,ʺ

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.

ʺI now see clearly the perfect plan of my life. Divine

enthusiasm fires me and I now fulfill my destiny.ʺ

The Spiritual attitude towards money is to know that God is

manʹs supply, and that he draws it from the abundance 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: ʺA 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: ʺThe trouble with you is you
donʹt give enough. You must open your channels of supply
by giving.ʺ

She had accepted an invitation to visit a friend and did not

want to go on account of the formality.

She said: ʺPlease 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.ʺ

She went to the friendʹs house, was unhappy and restless

and tried continually to leave, but was always persuaded 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: ʺOh God! maybe I havenʹt
given enough!ʺ So she tipped all the servants more than she
had intended.
The first of August, her hostess said to her: ʺMy dear, I want
to make you a gift,ʺ and she handed her a check for five
hundred dollars!

God works in unexpected ways his wonders to perform.
