For example: After the class, one day, a man came to me and handed me a cent.
He said: “I have just seven cents in the world, and I’m going to give you one; for I have faith in the power of your spoken word. I want you to speak the word for my perfect self-expression and prosperity.”
I “spoke the word,” and did not see him again until a year later. He came in one day, successful and happy, with a roll of yellow bills in his pocket. He said, “Immediately after you spoke the word, I had a position offered me in a distant city, and am now demonstrating health, happiness and supply.”
A woman’s perfect self-expression may be in becoming a perfect wife, a perfect mother, a perfect home-maker and not necessarily in having a public career.
Demand definite leads, and the way will be made easy and successful.
One should not visualize or force a mental picture. When he demands the Divine Design to come into his conscious mind, he will receive flashes of inspiration, and begin to see himself making some great accomplishment. This is the picture, or idea, he must hold without wavering.
The thing man seeks is seeking him—the telephone was seeking Bell!
Parents should never force careers and professions upon their children. With a knowledge of spiritual Truth, the Divine Plan could be spoken for, early in childhood, or prenatally.
A prenatal treatment should be: “Let the God in this child have perfect expression; let the Divine Design of his mind, body and affairs be made manifest throughout his life, throughout eternity.”
God’s will be done, not man’s; God’s pattern, not man’s pattern, is the command we find running through all the scriptures, and the Bible is a book dealing with the science of the mind. It is a book telling man how to release his soul (or subconscious mind) from bondage.
