“Look well, therefore, to this Day! Such is the salutation of the Dawn.”
He must be spiritually alert, ever awaiting his leads, taking advantage
of every opportunity.
One day, I said continually (silently), “Infinite Spirit, don’t let
me miss a trick,” and something very important was told to me that
evening. It is most necessary to begin the day with right words.
Make an affirmation immediately upon waking.
For example:
“_Thy will be done this day! Today is a day of completion; I give
thanks for this perfect day, miracle shall follow miracle and wonders
shall never cease._”
Make this a habit, and one will see wonders and miracles come into his
life.
One morning I picked up a book and read, “Look with wonder at that
which is before you!” It seemed to be my message for the day, so I
repeated again and again, “Look with wonder at that which is before
you.”
At about noon, a large sum of money, was given me, which I had been
desiring for a certain purpose.
In a following chapter, I will give affirmations that I have found
most effective. However, one should never use an affirmation unless it
is absolutely satisfying and convincing to his own consciousness, and
often an affirmative is changed to suit different people.
For example: The following has brought success to many:
“I have a wonderful work, in a wonderful way, I give wonderful service,
for wonderful pay!”
I gave the first two lines to one of my students, and she added the
last two.
It made a _most powerful statement_, as there should always be perfect
payment for perfect service, and a rhyme sinks easily into the
subconscious. She went about singing it aloud and soon did receive
wonderful work in a wonderful way, and gave wonderful service for
wonderful pay.
Another student, a business man, took it, and changed the word work to
business.
He repeated, “I have a wonderful business, in a wonderful way, and I
give wonderful service for wonderful pay.” That afternoon he made a
forty-one-thousand dollar deal, though there had been no activity in
his affairs for months.
Every affirmation must be carefully worded and completely “cover the
ground.”
For example: I knew a woman, who was in great need, and made a demand
for work. She received a great deal of work, but was never paid
anything. She now knows to add, “wonderful service for wonderful pay.”
It is man’s divine right to have plenty! More than enough!
“His barns should be full, and his cup should flow over!” This is God’s
idea for man, and when man breaks down the barriers of lack in his own
consciousness, the Golden Age will be his, and every righteous desire
of his heart fulfilled!
THE LAW OF KARMA
and
THE LAW OF FORGIVENESS
Man receives only that which he gives. The Game of Life is a game of
boomerangs. Man’s thoughts, deeds and words, return to him sooner or
later, with astounding accuracy.
This is the law of Karma, which is Sanskrit for “Comeback.” “Whatsoever
a man soweth, that shall he also reap.”
