Most people consider life a battle, but it 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.
"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.
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 be lied to; if he cheats he will be
cheated. We are taught also, that the imaging faculty plays
a leading part in the game of life.
"Keep thy heart (or imagination) with all diligence, for out
of it are the issues of life." (Prov. 4:23.)
This means that what man images, sooner or later
externalizes in his affairs, I know of 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
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 Scissors of The
Mind," and it is ever cutting, 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 departments of the mind, the subconscious,
conscious and superconscious. 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 minutest
detail.
For example: a woman I know, when a child, always "made
believe" she was a widow. She "dressed up" in black
clothes and wore a long black veil, and people thought she
was very clever and amusing. She grew up and married a
man with whom she was deeply in love. In a short time he
died and she wore black and a 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.
