THE GAME
----------------------

[This part will be lengther coz i m going to finished this story soon. So take your time and read it.]



Most people consider life a battle, but is not a battle, it is a game.

It is a game, however which cannot be played successfully without the knowledge of spiritual law, and the old and the new Testaments give the rules of the game with wonderful clearness Jesus Christ taught that it was a great game of Giving and Receiving.

"Whatsover a man soweth that shall he also reap". This means that whatever man sends out in word or dead, will return to him; what he gives, he will receive.

If he gives hate, he will receive hate; if he gives love, he will receive love; if he gives criticism, he will receive criticism; if he lies he will br lied to; if he cheats he will be cheated. We are taught also, that the imaging faculty plays a leading apart in the gamr of lifr.

"Keep thy heart (or imagination) with all diligence, for out of it are the issues of life".

This means that what man images, sooner or later externalize in his affairs. I know for a man who feared a certain disease. It was a very rare disease and difficult to get, but he pictured it continually and read about it until it manifested in his body, and he died, the victim of distorted imagination.

So, we see, to play successfully the game of life, we must train the imaging faculty. A person with an imaging faculty trained to image only good, brings into his life "every righteous desire of his heart"- health, wealth, love, friends, perfect self-expression, his highest ideals.

The imagination has been called,"The seissors of the mind," and it is ever cutting, day by day, the pictures man sees there, and sooner or later he meets his own creations in his outer world. To train the imagination successfully, man must understand the workings of his mind. The Greeks said: "Know Thyself ".

There are three department of the mind, the subconscious, is simply power, without direction. It is like steam or electricity, and it does what it is directed to do; it has no power of induction.

Whatever man feels deeply or images clearly, is impressed upon the subconscious mind, and carried out in minutes detail.

For example: a woman I know when a child, always " made believe " she was a widow, She " dresses up " in black cloths and wore a long black vein, and people thought she was very claver and amusing. She grew up and married a man with whom she was deeply in love. In a short time he died and shr wore black and sweeping veil for many years. The picture of herself as a widow was impressed upon the subconscious mind, and in due time worked itself out, regardless of the havoc created.

The conscious mind has been called mortal or carnal mind.

It is the human mind and sees life as it appears to be. It sees deat disaster, sickness, proverty and limitation of every kind, and it impresses the subconscious.

The sobconscious mind is the God mind without each man, and is the realm of perfect ideas.

In it, is the "Perfect Pattern " spoken of by Plato, The Divine Design; for there is a Divine Desigh for each person.

"There is a place that you are to fill and no one else can fill, something you are to do, which no one else can do ".

There is a perfect picture of this in the superconscious mind. It usually flashed across the conscious as an unattainable ideal-
"Something too good to be true".

In reality it is man's true destiny (or destination) flashed to him from the Infinite Intelligence which is within himself.

Many people, however, are in ignorance of their true destinies and are striving for things and situatiobs which do not belong to them, and would only bring failure and dissatisfaction if attained.

For example: A woman came to me and asked me to "speak the word" that she would in love. (She called him A.B.)

I replied that this would be a violation of spiritual law, but that I would speak the word for the right man, the "Divine Selection", the man who belong to her by divine right.

I added,"If A.B. is right man you can't lose him, abd if he isn't , you will receive his equivalent. She saw A.B. frequently but ni headway was made in their friendship. One evening she called, and said,"Do you know, for the last week A.B. hasn't seemed so wonderful to me". I replied ,"Maybe he us not divine selection- another man may be the right one". Soon after that, she met another man who fell in love with her at once, and who said she was his ideal. Infact, he said all the things that she had always wished A.B. would say to her.

She remarked,"It was quite uncanny". She sion returned his love, and lost all interest in A.B.

This shows the law of substitution. A right idea was substituted for a wrong one, therefore there was no loss or sacrifice involved.

Jesus Christ said,"Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you", and he said the kingdom was within mab.

The kingdom is the realm of right ideas, or the divibe pattern.
