“Be Healed That You May Heal”

 

About 500 B.C. it was written: "It easily happens that a man, when taking a bath, steps upon a wet rope and imagines that it is a snake. Horror will overcome him, and he will shake from fear, anticipating in his thought all the agonies caused by the serpent's venomous bite. What a relief does this man experience when he sees that the rope is no snake! The cause of his fright lies in his error, his ignorance, his illusion. If the true nature of the rope is recognized, his tranquility of mind will come back to him; he will feel relieved; he will be joyful and happy.

Sure-ism is stronger than Optimism.

"You attract the things you give a great deal of thought to."

I call on the law of accumulation. My supply comes from God, and now pours in and piles up, under grace.

I expect the unexpected, my glorious good now comes to pass.

The long arm of God reaches out over people and conditions, controlling this situation and protecting my interests.

"God's ways are ingenious, His methods are sure!"

"What God has done before, He now does for me and more!" ~ 77th Psalm

The Power of The Spoken Word

• ·         When you are discouraged, angry, or resentful, is the time to make a statement of Truth, in order to get out of the woods of despair and limitation, for "Whosoever calleth on the name of the Lord shall be delivered!" There is away out — "Reveal to me the way."

• ·         "Let me now express the Divine Idea in my mind, body and affairs." If you will impress the subconscious by repeating this statement you will be amazed at the changes which soon take place. You will be bombarded by new ideas and new ideals

Our thoughts, deeds and words return to us sooner or later with astounding accuracy.

Spiritual development means the ability to stand still, or stand aside, and let Infinite Intelligence lift your burdens and fight your battles. When the burden of resentment is lifted, you experience a sense of relief! You have a kindly feeling for everyone, and all the organs of your body begin to function properly.

What is Surrender?

"Wisdom is a marriage – a synergy – of heart and mind. " Stephen Covey

“I saw that everything is, and always was, and always will be, absolute perfection. Nothing is finished, yet nothing’s left undone. I could appreciate the beauty of each thread, each life, the love that’s shining in each dream we’ve given to the whole. I came to see that God was dreaming in us, and through us. All God does is dream creation into being. Creation is the key. Until we consciously join in that process, God will only be a distant presence, and we mere victims at the hand of fate. … Once I move into the miracle of co-creation, we’re all one. Everything is possible. We’re doing this together.” From

True integrity is when YOU ARE INTEGRATED AS A BE-ING. ~ Michael Singer

 In the logging camps, thousands of logs are sent down river in the spring.

When the logs get too bunched up some get turned cross ways causing a jam. To get things moving again, the loggers look for the main log that is causing the problem to straighten it out and get all the logs floating downriver again. The problem causing log is referred to as the “king pin”. Do you have a king pin negative emotion or attitude that is jamming up your life?

The Law of Agreement

People are enslaved by ideas of lack; lack of love, lack of money, lack of companionship, lack of health, and so on.
They are enslaved by the ideas of interference and incompletion. They are asleep in the Adamic Dream: Adam (generic man,) ate of "Maya the tree of illusion"[1] and saw two powers, good and evil.
The Christ mission was to wake people up to the Truth of one Power, God.
"Awake thou that sleepeth." Ephesian 5:14

Look well therefore to this day!

Money is nothing to you. Therefore, you can have all you like by getting a right thought. Great possessions naturally flow to you if you do not hold a foolish thought strongly. This verse will give you your successful idea: "All my help from Thee I bring."

“Listen to the exhortation of the dawn! Look to this day! For it is life, the very life of life. In its brief course lie all the verities and realities of your existence. The bliss of growth, the glory of action, The splendor of beauty; For yesterday is but a dream, And tomorrow is only a vision; But today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness, And every tomorrow a vision of hope. Look well therefore to this day! Such is the salutation of the dawn”

Kalidasa ~ Classical Sanskrit writer,

FlorenceScovelShinn-isms

"There is peace on earth for him who sends goodwill to man!"

Jesus  said, "Resist not evil," for He knew in reality, there is no evil, therefore nothing to resist. Evil has come of man's "vain imagination," or a belief in two powers, good and evil.

"I have a wonderful work, in a wonderful way, I give wonderful service, for wonderful pay!"

SUGGESTIBILITY LEADS TO GULLIBILITY

Suggestibility is caused by depending upon confused exterior authorities, who always disagree with each other. Since he does not know from his own essence, he must endlessly switch his beliefs from one authority to another.
Suggestibility also leads to gullibility,

Reincarnation

In reality we are all dreaming; when man fully awakens he knows that planets are thoughts, suns and moons are thoughts, and his own consciousness is the space which sustains them all. He begins to realize that the whole world is a thought. For example, he becomes aware of the fact that the body is not real, but it is a thought or idea held in consciousness. The body has no life apart from consciousness. He realizes that there is absolutely no reality to matter or the body of man; it is a group of ideas and opinions. Man gives life to ideas and opinions as long as he believes them. When he disbelieves the errors, these ideas have no life in them.
Man was never born and he will never die. There is no death. Death is an idea that exists in the minds of men. As long as man believes in death, he must witness and experience it. Man has no beginning and no end; he always was, just as God always was, is and shall be. “God and man are one.” “I am my Father are one.”
The man who is always quoting so-called authorities to prove the modern theories of reincarnation is himself without authority. He is still crying in the wilderness and calling other men masters and adepts. Call no man master. “Salute no man on the highway.” Salute the God within. The Kingdom of God is within, and if someone tells you it is “Lo here; lo there,” believe him not. The Kingdom of Heaven is within man.
Where is the Truth? It is within yourself.
Rev. Joseph Murphy
THIS IS IT: The Art of Metaphysical Demonstration [1948]

Where there is an effect there is always a cause; there is no such thing as chance.
This question is answered through the law of reincarnation. Man goes through many births and deaths, until he knows the truth which sets him free.
He is drawn back to the earth plane through unsatisfied desire, to pay his Karmic debts, or to "fulfill his destiny."
The man born rich and healthy has had pictures in his subconscious mind, in his past life, of health and riches; and the poor and sick man, of disease and poverty. Man manifests, on any plane, the sum total of his subconscious beliefs.
However, birth and death are man-made laws, for the "wages of sin is death"; the Adamic fall in consciousness through the belief in two powers. The real man, spiritual man, is birthless and deathless! He never was born and has never died—"As he was in the beginning, he is now, and ever shall be!"
So through the truth, man is set free from the law of Karma, sin and death, and manifests the man made in "His image and likeness." Man's freedom comes through fulfilling his destiny, bringing into manifestation the Divine Design of his life.
Florence Scovel Shinn
The Game of Life And How To Play It [1925]



There is a simple test by which you can tell a true teacher from a false one.

Christ Consciousness ~ Fourth Dimensional Consciousness ~ Casting the burden

• When man knows his own powers and the workings of his mind, his great desire is to find an easy and quick way to impress the subconscious with good, for simply an intellectual knowledge of the Truth will not bring results. In my own case, I found the easiest way is in "casting the burden." A metaphysician once explained it in this manner. He said, "The only thing which gives anything weight in nature, is the law of gravitation, and if a boulder could be taken high above the planet, there would be no weight in that boulder; and that is what Jesus Christ meant when he said: "My yoke is easy and my burden is light." He had overcome the world vibration, and functioned in the fourth dimensional realm, where there is only perfection, completion, life and joy. He said: "Come to me all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." "Take my yoke upon you, for my yoke is easy and my burden is light." We are also told in the fifty-fifth Psalm, to "cast thy burden upon the Lord." Many passages in the Bible state that the battle is God's not man's and that man is always to "stand still" and see the Salvation of the Lord. This indicates that the Christ within is the department which fights man's battle and relieves him of burdens. We see, therefore, that man violates law if he carries a burden, and a burden is an adverse thought or condition, and this thought or condition has its root in the subconscious. It seems almost impossible to make any headway directing the subconscious from the conscious, or reasoning mind, as the reasoning mind (the intellect) is limited in its conceptions, and filled with doubts and fears. How scientific it then is, to cast the burden upon the Christ within where it is "made light," or dissolved into its "native nothingness."
• The subconscious is often impressed through music. Music has a fourth dimensional quality and releases the soul from imprisonment. It makes wonderful things seem possible, and easy of accomplishment!
• "In the twinkling of an eye," man's release will come when he realizes there is no power in evil. The material world will fade away, and the fourth dimensional world, the "World of the Wondrous," will swing into manifestation. "And I saw a new heaven, and a new earth--and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain; for the former things are passed away."
• Ouspensky states, in "Tertium Organum," that "love is a cosmic phenomenon," and opens to man the fourth dimensional world, "The World of the Wondrous." 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. Man is selfish, tyrannical or fearful in his affections, thereby losing the thing he loves. Jealousy is the worst enemy of love, for the imagination runs riot, seeing the loved one attracted to another, and invariably these fears objectify if they are not neutralized.
• The Christ within, is his own fourth dimensional self, the man made in God's image and likeness. This is the self which has never failed, never known sickness or sorrow, was never born and has never died. It is the "resurrection and the life" of each man! "No man cometh to the Father save by the Son," means, that God, the Universal, working on the place of the particular, becomes the Christ in man; and the Holy Ghost, means God-inaction. So daily, man is manifesting the Trinity of Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Man should make an art of thinking. The Master Thinker is an artist and is careful to paint only the divine designs upon the canvas of his mind; and he paints these pictures with masterly strokes of power and decision, having perfect faith that there is no power to mar their perfection and that they shall manifest in his life the ideal made real. All power is given man (through right thinking) to bring his heaven upon his earth, and this is the goal of the "Game of Life." The simple rules are fearless faith, nonresistance and love!

The Game of Life and How to Play It, by Florence Scovel Shinn, [1925]
"I cast this burden on the Christ within, and I am free."

Old thoughts must be denied and the mind cleansed in preparation before the affirmative Christ consciousness can come in. Our mind and even our body is loaded with error thoughts. Every cell is clothed with thought: every cell has a mind of its own. By the use of denial we break through the outer crust, the material thought that has enveloped the cells, and get down into the substance and the life within them. Then we make contact with that substance and life which our denials have exposed, and by it express the positive, constructive side of the law. When we consistently deny the limitations of the material, we begin to reveal the spiritual law that waits within ourselves to be fulfilled. When this law is revealed to our consciousness, we begin to use it to demonstrate all things that are good.
That is the state of consciousness that Jesus had, the Christ consciousness.
PROSPERITY By Charles Fillmore [1939]

Florence Scovel Shinn

(1871-1940) was a New Thought teacher and writer. Florence Scovel Shinn's approach to New Thought is practical, attempting to bring metaphysical ideas down to earth for everyday people. Affirmations are at the core of her work. Tidbits from her 3 books follow.

Shinn expressed her philosophy as:
The invisible forces are ever working for man who is always ‘pulling the strings’ himself, though he does not know it. Owing to the vibratory power of words, whatever man voices, he begins to attract.

The Game of Life And How To Play It [1925]

So we see, to play successfully the game of life, we must train the imaging faculty. A person with an imaging faculty trained to image only good, brings into his life "every righteous desire of his heart"—health, wealth, love, friends, perfect self-expression, his highest ideals.
Whatever man feels deeply or images clearly, is impressed upon the subconscious mind, and carried out in minutest detail.
Man must prepare for the thing he has asked for, when there isn't the slightest sign of it in sight.
For example: A woman found it necessary to look for an apartment during the year when there was a great shortage of apartments in New York. It was considered almost an impossibility, and her friends were sorry for her and said, "Isn't it too bad, you'll have to store your furniture and live in a hotel." She replied, "You needn't feel sorry for me, I'm a superman, and I'll get an apartment."
She spoke the words: "Infinite Spirit, open the way for the right apartment." She knew there was a supply for every demand, and that she was "unconditioned," working on the spiritual plane, and that "one with God is a majority."
She had contemplated buying new blankets, when "the tempter," the adverse thought or reasoning mind, suggested, "Don't buy the blankets, perhaps, after all, you won't get an apartment and you will have no use for them." She promptly replied (to herself): "I'll dig my ditches by buying the blankets!" So she prepared for the apartment—acted as though she already had it.

Your Word Is Your Wand [1928]
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!"

Nothing is too good
to be true
Nothing is too wonderful
to happen
Nothing is too good
to last
CONCLUSION
Choose the affirmation which appeals to you the most and wave it over the situation which confronts you.

The Secret Door To Success [1941]

If you have spoken the word for a home, prepare for it immediately, as if you hadn't a moment to lose. Collect little ornaments, table-cloths, etc. etc.!
I knew a woman who made the giant swing into faith, by buying a large arm-chair; a chair meant business, she bought a large and comfortable chair, for she was preparing for the right man. He came.
Someone will say, "Suppose you haven't money to buy ornaments or a chair?" Then look in shop windows and link with them in thought.
Get in their vibration: I sometimes hear people say; "I don't go into the shops because I can't afford to buy anything." That is just the reason you should go into the shops. Begin to make friends with the things you desire or require.
I know a woman who wanted a ring. She went boldly to the ring department and tried on rings.
It gave her such a realization of ownership, that not long after, a friend made her a gift of a ring. "You combine with what you notice."The last chapter is a delightful Metaphysical interpretation of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, one of Grimm's Fairy Tales called "THE INNER MEANING OF SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS".
