Another woman often dances while making her affirmations. The rhythm and harmony of music and motion carry her words forth with tremendous power. The student must remember also, not to despise the “day of small things.” Invariably, before a demonstration, come “signs of land.” Before Columbus reached America, he saw birds and twigs which showed him land was near. So it is with a demonstration; but often the student mistakes it for the demonstration itself, and is disappointed. For example: A woman had “spoken the word” for a set of dishes. Not long afterwards a friend gave her a dish which was old and cracked. She came to me and said, “Well, I asked for a set of dishes, and all I got was a cracked plate.” I replied, “The plate was only signs of land. It shows your dishes are coming—look upon it as birds and seaweed,” and not long afterwards the dishes came. Continually “making-believe,” impresses the subconscious. If one makes believe he is rich, and makes believe he is successful, in “due time he will reap.” Children are always “making believe,” and “except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter the Kingdom of Heaven.” For example: I know of a woman who was very poor, but no one could make her _feel poor_. She earned a small amount of money from rich friends, who constantly reminded her of her poverty, and to be careful and saving. Regardless of their admonitions, she would spend all her earnings on a hat, or make someone a gift, and be in a rapturous state of mind. Her thoughts were always centered on beautiful clothes and “rings and things,” but without envying others. She lived in the world of the wondrous, and only riches seemed real to her. Before long she married a rich man, and the rings and things became visible. I do not know whether the man was the “Divine Selection,” but opulence had to manifest in her life, as she had imaged only opulence. There is no peace or happiness for man, until he has erased all fear from the subconscious. Fear is misdirected energy and must be redirected, or transmuted into Faith. Jesus Christ said, “Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith?” “All things are possible to him that believeth.” I am asked, so often by my students, “_How can I get rid of fear?_” I reply, “_By walking up to the thing you are afraid of_.” “The lion takes its fierceness from your fear.” Walk up to the lion, and he will disappear; run away and he runs after you. I have shown in previous chapters, how the lion of lack disappeared when the individual spent money fearlessly, showing faith that God was his supply and therefore, unfailing.
