The game of life and how to play it

There is no time or space, in Divine Mind, therefore the word reaches
instantly its destination and does not “return void.” I have treated
patients in Europe and have found that the result was instantaneous.
I am asked so often the difference between visualizing and visioning.
Visualizing is a mental process governed by the reasoning or conscious
mind; visioning is a spiritual process, governed by intuition, or the
superconscious mind. The student should train his mind to receive
these flashes of inspiration, and work out the “divine pictures,”
through definite leads. When a man can say, “I desire only that which
God desires for me,” his false desires fade from the consciousness,
and a new set of blueprints is given him by the Master Architect, the
God within. God’s plan for each man transcends the limitation of the
reasoning mind, and is always the square of life, containing health,
wealth, love and perfect self-expression. Many a man is building for
himself in imagination a bungalow when he should be building a palace.
If a student tries to force a demonstration (through the reasoning
mind) he brings it to a standstill. “I will hasten it,” saith the Lord.
He should act only through intuition, or definite leads. “Rest in the
Lord and wait patiently. Trust also in him, and he will bring it to
pass.”
I have seen the law work in the most astonishing manner. For example: A
student stated that it was necessary for her to have a hundred dollars
by the following day. It was a debt of vital importance which had to be
met. I “spoke the word,” declaring Spirit was “never too late” and that
the supply was at hand.
That evening she phoned me of the miracle. She said that the thought
came to her to go to her safe-deposit box at the bank to examine some
papers. She looked over the papers, and at the bottom of the box, was
a new one hundred dollar-bill. She was astounded, and said she knew
she had never put it there, for she had gone through the papers many
times. It may have been a materialization, as Jesus Christ materialized
the loaves and fishes. Man will reach the stage where his “word is
made flesh,” or materialized, instantly. “The fields, ripe with the
harvest,” will manifest immediately, as in all of the miracles of Jesus
Christ.
There is a tremendous power alone in the name Jesus Christ. It stands
for _Truth Made Manifest_. He said, “Whatsoever ye ask the Father, in
my name, he will give it to you.”
The power of this name raises the student into the fourth dimension,
where he is freed from all astral and psychic influences, and he
becomes “unconditioned and absolute, as God Himself is unconditioned
and absolute.”
I have seen many healings accomplished by using the words, “In the name
of Jesus Christ.”
Christ was both person and principle; and the Christ within each man is
his Redeemer and Salvation.
