Your big opportunity and big success usually slide in, when you least expect it. You have to let go long enough for the great law of attraction to operate. You never saw a worried and anxious magnet. It stands up straight and hasn't a care in teh world, because it knows the needles can't help jumping to it. The things we rightly desire come to pass when we have taken the clutch off.
I say in my correspondence course, "Do not let your heart's desire become a heart's disease." You are completely demagnetized when you desire something too intensely. You worry, fear, and agonize. There is an occult law of indifference: "None of these things move me." Your ships come in over a don't care sea.
Many people in Truth antagonize friends, because they are too anxious for them to read the books and go to the lectures. They meet opposition.
A friend took my book, "The Game of Life and How to Play It" to her brother's house to read. The young men of the family refused to read it. No "nut stuff" for them. One of these young men drives a taxi cab. One night he drove a taxi which belonged to another man. In gong over the car he found a book stuffed away womewhere. It was "The Game of Life and How to Play It." The next day he said to his aunt, "I found Mrs. Shinn's book in the taxi last night. I read it and it's great! There's a lot of good reading in it. Why doesn't she write another book?" God works in roundabout ways, His wonders to perform.
I meet unhappy people and a few grateful and contented people. A man said to me one day, "I have a great deal to be thankful for. I have good health, enough money and I'm still single!"
The eighty-ninth psalm is very interesting, for
we find that two individuals take part; the man who sings the psalm (for all psalms are songs or poems), and the Lord God lf Hosts answers him. It is a song of praise and thanksgiving, extolling the strong arm of God."I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever!"
"O Lord God of Hosts, who is a strong Lord like unto thee?"
"Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand."
Then the Lord of Hosts replies.
"With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall strengthen him."
"My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him."
We only hear the words "for evermore" in the bible and in fairy-tales. In the absolute, man is outside of time and space. His good is "from everlasting to everlasting." The fairy-tales came down from the old Persian legends which were founded upon truth.
