Book Excerpts:
The reasoning mind, the intellect, takes the throne of Pharaoh in your consciousness. It says continually, "It can't be done. What's the use!"
We must drown out these dreary suggestions with a vital affirmation!
For example take this statement: "The unexpected happens, my seemingly impossible good now comes to pass." This stops all argument from the army of the aliens (the reasoning mind.).
"The unexpected happens!" That is an idea it cannot cope with.
"Thou hast made me wiser than mine enemies." Your enemy thoughts, your doubts, fears and apprehensions!
Think of the joy of really being free forever, from the Pharaoh of the oppression. To have the idea of security, health, happiness and abundance established in the subconscious. It would mean a life free from all limitation!
It would be the Kingdom which Jesus Christ spoke of, where all things are automatically added unto us. I say automatically added unto us, because all life is vibration; and when we vibrate to success, happiness and abundance, the things which symbolize these states of consciousness will attach themselves to us.
Feel rich and successful, and suddently you receive a large cheque or a beautiful gift.
I tell the story showing the working of this law. I went to a party where people played games, and whoever won, received a gift. The prize was a beautiful fan.
Among those present, was a very rich woman, who had everything.
Her name was Clara. The poorer and resentful ones got together and whispered: "We hope Clara doesn't get the fan." Of course Clara won the fan.
She was care-free and vibrating to abundance. Envy and resentment short-circuit your good and keep away your fans.
If you should happen to be resentful and envious, take the statement:
What God has done for others He now does for me and more!
Then all the fans and things will come your way. No man gives to himself but himself, and no man takes away from himself but himself. The "Game of Life" is a game of solitaire; as you change, all conditions will change.
Now to go back to Pharaoh the oppressor; no one loves an oppressor.
I remember a friend I had many years ago, her name was Lettie. Her father had plenty of money and supplied her mother and herself with food and clothes, but no luxuries.
We went to Art School together, and all the students would buy reproductions of the "Winged Victory," "Whister's Mother" or something to bring art into their homes.
My friend's father called all these things "plunder." He would say, "Don't bring home any plunder."
So she lived a colorless life without a "Winged Victory" on her bureau or "Whistler's Mother on the wall.
He would say often to my friend and her mother, "When I die, you'll both be well off."
One day someone said to Lettie, "When are you going abroad?" (all art students went abroad.)
She replied, cheerfully, "Not 'till Papa dies."
So people always look forward to being free from lack and oppression.
Let us now free ourselves from the tyrants of negative thinking. We have been slaves to doubts, fears and apprehension and let us be delivered as Moses delivered the Children of Israel and come out of the Land of Egypt, out of the House of Bondage.
Find the thought which is your great oppressor; find the "king-pin".
In the logging camps in the Spring, the logs are sent down the rivers in great numbers.
Sometimes the logs become crossed and cause a jam. The men look for the log causing the jam (they call it the king-pin), straighten it, and the logs rush down the river
again.
Maybe your King-Pin is resentment. Resentment holds back your good.
