![]() She was walking through a department store, when she saw a very beautiful pink enamel papercutter. She knew she must do something to get a realization (for realization is manifestation), and she demanded a "lead." For example: It was necessary for a woman to demonstrate a large sum of money within a stated time. This is easy enough to state in the abstract, but a little more difficult when confronted with a problem. The student's work is in making himself believe that "with God all things are possible." Amen." "Concerning the works of my hands, command ye me." So prayer is command and demand, praise and thanksgiving. The Lord's Prayer is in the form of command and demand, "Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors," and ends in praise, "For thine is the Kingdom and the Power and the Glory, forever. "The desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose." This rejoicing which is yet in the desert (state of consciousness) opens the way for release. It would not be necessary to make an affirmation more than once if one had perfect faith! One should not plead or supplicate, but give thanks repeatedly, that he has received. " Before ye call I shall answer."Ĭontinually affirming establishes the belief in the subconscious. In making his demands, man begins at his journey's end, that is, he declares he has already received. So we see, the first man became rich through feeling rich, thinking the nugget was gold.Įvery man has within himself a gold nugget it is his consciousness of gold, of opulence, which brings riches into his life. He stopped him and said: "My good friend, I will give you this gold nugget, which, if you sell, will make you rich for life." The mendicant took the nugget, had it valued, and found it was only brass. Years passed, and he became a very rich man. He immediately found work and became so prosperous that he did not sell the nugget. The man was overjoyed at his good fortune, and took the nugget home. Take this gold nugget, sell it, and you will be rich all your days." 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. The French have a legend giving an example of this. "They limited the Holy One of Israel." Wealth is a matter of consciousness. 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. For example: A student made the demand for six hundred dollars, by a certain date. Man so often limits himself in his demands. He must enlarge his expectancies in order to receive in a larger way. It is impossible for man to release more than he thinks is possible, for one is bound by the limited expectancies of the subconscious. 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."Īs 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. For example: I knew a woman who demanded a thousand dollars. ![]() The latter part of the statement is most important. I give thanks it now manifests under grace in a perfect way." If one desires a home, friend, position or any other good thing, make the demand for the "divine selection."įor example: "Infinite Spirit, open the way for my right home, my right friend, my right position. It is, therefore, of the utmost importance, to word one's demands correctly, as stated in a previous chapter. "Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee."Īll 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.
