    my life!” Then she replied, “Well, perhaps you
    look badly because you have such an unbe-
    coming hat.”
    Filled with resentment, you hurried home
    to look into the mirror to see what was wrong
    with the hat. You had a pain in the back of
    your neck, for your attitude of mind has
    caused congestion there. From this comes the
    slang expression: “You give me a pain in the
    neck.” You are now ready to contract a cold or
    something worse. Call on the law of forgive-
    ness at once. Send love and goodwill to your
    friend, and say, “Oh, Power Above, give me
    another chance . . . this time I won’t argue. I’ll be nonresistant, loving, and kind.” Now you
    have neutralized the congestion and the ensu-
    ing ills. The next time you meet your friend,
    you are filled with goodwill, and you really do not care whether she likes your hat or not. You say, “What a lovely day!” And she will reply,

    “How well you look! Where did you get that
    cute hat?”
    There is no emotional response to a situa-
    tion. You have fi nished with it; otherwise, you have the same experience over and over again.
    Poise is the pearl of great price.

    The Game of Life is a game of boomerangs.
    Whatever you send out comes back. Jesus said
    to do unto others as you would be done by
    them. You cannot hurt anyone without hurt-
    ing yourself. All of us are linked by a myste-
    rious magnetic force; what you send out in
    word or thought against another reacts on
    yourself. If a person is purely on the mental
    plane, his comeback (or karma) takes longer.
    If you are developed spiritually, it returns very quickly; the more you know, the more you are

    responsible for. So learn your lessons and be
    thorough with the long road of experience.
    Send goodwill to your seeming enemy, and
    you surround yourself with a great aura of pro-
    tection. Your enemies are only those of your
    “own household” (your subconscious beliefs).
    If you hate and resent a situation, you have
    fastened it to yourself, for you attract what
    you fear or dislike. When someone has been
    unjust to you, you are fi lled with wrath and
    resentment. You cannot forgive that person.
    Time rolls by, and another person does the
    same thing. It is because you have a picture of injustice engraved in your subconscious. History will repeat itself until you think you are cursed with misfortune and injustice. There
    is only one way to neutralize it. Be absolutely undisturbed by the injustice, and send goodwill to all concerned. Affi rm: My goodwill is a strong Tower around me. I now change all enemies 9

    into friends. All inharmony into harmony. All injustice into justice.
    You will be amazed by the working of the
    law. One of my students brought harmony out
    of chaos in her business affairs by using the
    above statement.
    As the alchemists of old transmuted all
    base metals into gold, you have the power to
    change all evil into good.
    “Therefore I tell you, whatever
    you ask for in prayer, believe
    that you have received it,
    and it will be yours.”

    “Gratitude is the law
    of increase, and complaint
    is the law of decrease.”
    The material attitude toward money is to trust in your salary, your income, and your investments, which can shrink overnight. The
    spiritual attitude is to trust in God for your supply—to keep your possessions, and always
