Lot's wife looked back and was turned into a pillar of salt. The robbers of time are the past and the future. Man should bless the past, and forget it, if it keeps him in bondage, and bless the future, knowing it has in store for him endless joys, but live fully in the now. For example: A woman came to me, complaining that she had no money with which to buy Christmas gifts. She said, "Last year was so different; I had plenty of money and gave lovely presents, and this year I have scarcely a cent." I replied, "You will never demonstrate money while you are pathetic and live in the past. Live fully in the now, and get ready to give Christmas presents. Dig your ditches, and the money will come." She exclaimed, "I know what to do! I will buy some tinsel twine, Christmas seals and wrapping paper." I replied, "Do that, and the presents will come and stick themselves to the Christmas seals."
This too, was showing financial fearlessness and faith in God, as the reasoning mind said, "Keep every
cent you have, as you are not sure you will get any more." She bought the seals, paper and twine, and a
few days before Christmas, received a gift of several hundred dollars. Buying the seals and twine had
impressed the subconscious with expectancy, and opened the way for the manifestation of the money. She
purchased all the presents in plenty of time. Man must live suspended in the moment. "Look well,
therefore, to this Day! Such is the salutation of the Dawn." He must be spiritually alert, ever awaiting his
leads, taking advantage of every opportunity.
One day, I said continually (silently), "Infinite Spirit, don't let me miss a trick," and something very
important was told to me that evening. It is most necessary to begin the day with right words. Make an
affirmation immediately upon waking.
For example: "Thy will be done this day! Today is a day of completion, I give thanks for this perfect
day, miracle shall follow miracle and wonders shall never cease."
Make this a habit, and one will see wonders and miracles come into his life. One morning I picked up a
book and read, "Look with wonder at that which is before you!" It seemed to be my message for the day,
so I repeated again and again, "Look with wonder at that which is before you." At about noon, a large
sum of money, was given me, which I had desired for a certain purpose. In a following chapter, I will give
affirmations that I have found most effective. However, one should never use an affirmation unless it is
absolutely satisfying and convincing to his own consciousness, and often an affirmation is changed to suit
different people.
For example: The following has brought success to many: "I have a wonderful work, in a wonderful way,
I give wonderful service, for wonderful pay!" I gave the first two lines to one of my students, and she
added the last two.
It made a most powerful statement, as there should always be perfect payment for perfect service, and a
rhyme sinks easily into the subconscious. She went about singing it aloud and soon did receive wonderful
work in a wonderful way, and gave wonderful service for wonderful pay.
Another student, a business man, took it, and changed the word work to business. He repeated, "I have a
wonderful business, in a wonderful way, and I give wonderful service for wonderful pay." That afternoon
he made a fortyone thousand dollar deal, though there had been no activity in his affairs for months.
Every affirmation must be carefully worded and completely "cover the ground."
For example: I knew a woman, who was in great need, and made a demand for work. She received a great
deal of work, but was never paid anything. She now knows to add, "Wonderful service for wonderful
pay." It is man's divine right to have plenty! More than enough! "His barns should be full, and his cup
should flow over!" This is God's idea for man, and when man breaks down the barriers of lack in his own
consciousness, the Golden Age will be his, and every righteous desire of his heart fulfilled!
