The game of life and how to play it

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.
His lord will say unto him: “Well done thou good and faithful servant,
thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler
over many things (death itself); enter thou into the joy of thy Lord
(eternal life).”
DENIALS AND AFFIRMATIONS
“Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee.”
All the good that is to be made manifest in man’s life is already
an accomplished fact in divine mind, and is released through man’s
recognition, or spoken word, so he must be careful to decree that only
the Divine Idea be made manifest, for often, he decrees, through his
“idle words,” failure or misfortune.
It is, therefore, of the utmost importance, to word one’s demands
correctly, as stated in a previous chapter.
If one desires a home, friend, position or any other good thing, make
the demand for the “divine selection.”
For example: “Infinite Spirit, open the way for my right home, my right
friend, my right position. I give thanks _it now manifests under grace
in a perfect way_.”
The latter part of the statement is most important. For example: I
knew a woman who demanded a thousand dollars. Her daughter was injured
and they received a thousand dollars indemnity, so it did not come
in a “perfect way.” The demand should have been worded in this way:
“Infinite Spirit, I give thanks that the one thousand dollars, which is
mine by divine right, is now released, and reaches me under grace, in a
perfect way.”
As one grows in a financial consciousness, he should demand that the
enormous sums of money, which are his by divine right, reach him under
grace, in perfect ways.
It is impossible for man to release more than he thinks is possible,
for one is bound by the limited expectancies of the subconscious. He
must enlarge his expectancies in order to receive in a larger way.
Man so often limits himself in his demands. For example: A student made
the demand for six hundred dollars, by a certain date. He did receive
it, but heard afterwards, that he came very near receiving a thousand
dollars, but he was given just six hundred, as the result of his spoken
word.
“They limited the Holy One of Israel.” Wealth is a matter of
consciousness. The French have a legend giving an example of this. A
poor man was walking along a road when he met a traveler, who stopped
him and said: “My good friend, I see you are poor. Take this gold
nugget, sell it, and you will be rich all your days.”
