The game of life and how to play it

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 superconscious mind (or 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 superconscious
mind (or Christ within) where it is “made light,” or dissolved into its
“native nothingness.”
For example: A woman in urgent need of money, “made light” upon the
Christ within, the superconscious, with the statement, “I cast this
burden of lack on the Christ (within) and I go free to have plenty!”
The belief in lack was her burden, and as she cast it upon the
Superconscious with its belief of plenty, an avalanche of supply was
the result.
We read, “The Christ in you the hope of glory.”
Another example: One of my students had been given a new piano, and
there was no room in her studio for it until she had moved out the
old one. She was in a state of perplexity. She wanted to keep the old
piano, but knew of no place to send it. She became desperate, as the
new piano was to be sent immediately; in fact, was on its way, with no
place to put it. She said it came to her to repeat, “I cast this burden
on the Christ within, and I go free.”
A few moments later, her ’phone rang, and a woman friend asked if she
might rent her old piano, and it was moved out, a few minutes before
the new one arrived.
I knew a woman, whose burden was resentment. She said, “I cast this
burden of resentment on the Christ within, and I go free, to be
loving, harmonious and happy.” The Almighty superconscious, flooded
the subconscious with love, and her whole life was changed. For years,
resentment had held her in a state of torment and imprisoned her soul
(the subconscious mind).
