The Game of Life and How to Play It

by Florence Scovel Shinn

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

"By your words ye are justified and by your words ye are condemned."

Nothing stands between man and his highest ideals and every desire of his heart, but doubt and fear. When man can "wish without worrying," every desire will be instantly fulfilled.

"Death and Life are in the power of the tongue." (Prov. 18:21.)

Someone has said that courage contains genius and magic. Face a situation fearlessly, and there is no situation to face; it falls away of its own weight.

The metaphysician knows that all disease has a mental correspondence, and in order to heal the body one must first "heal the soul."

Every disease is caused by a mind not at ease.

"But I say unto you, love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which spitefully use you and persecute you."

Fear is misdirected energy and must be redirected, or transmuted into Faith.

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.

Anger blurs the visions, poisons the blood, is the root of many diseases, and causes wrong decision leading to failure.
