The game of life and how to play it

Many of my students have come out of the bondage of poverty, and are
now bountifully supplied, through losing all fear of letting money go
out. The subconscious is impressed with the truth that _God is the
Giver and the Gift_; therefore as one is one with the Giver, he is one
with the Gift. A splendid statement is, “I now thank God the Giver for
God the Gift.”
Man has so long separated himself from his good and his supply, through
thoughts of separation and lack, that sometimes, it takes dynamite to
dislodge these false ideas from the subconscious, and the dynamite is a
big situation.
We see in the foregoing illustration, how the individual was freed from
his bondage by _showing fearlessness_.
Man should watch himself hourly to detect if his motive for action is
fear or faith.
“Choose ye this day whom we shall serve,” fear or faith.
Perhaps one’s fear is of personality. Then do not avoid the people
feared; be willing to meet them cheerfully, and they will either prove
“golden links in the chain of one’s good,” or disappear harmoniously
from one’s pathway.
Perhaps one’s fear is of disease or germs. Then one should be fearless
and undisturbed in a germ-laden situation, and he would be immune.
One can only contract germs while vibrating at the same rate as the
germ, and fear drags men down to the level of the germ. Of course, the
disease laden germ is the product of carnal mind, as all thought must
objectify. Germs do not exist in the superconscious or Divine Mind,
therefore are the product of man’s “vain imagination.”
“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.”
LOVE
Every man on this planet is taking his initiation in love. “A new
commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another.” 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.
