------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ IF YOU MUST BELIEVE YOU HAVE RECEIVED YOUR DESIRE IN ORDER TO ATTAIN IT,
THEN YOU MUST START YOUR GAME BY BELIEVING IT IS FINISHED The game of life, like every game, is played within the framework of
certain rules, and any violation of those rules carries a penalty. You
and I are playing this game from morning to night, and should
therefore learn its rules in order to play it well.
Ecclesiastes gives us this rule: "Even in your thought do not curse
the king, or in your bed chamber curse the rich, for a bird will carry
your voice or some winged creature tell the matter." And Mark gives us
another, as: "Whatever you desire, believe that you have received it
and you will." If you must believe you have received your desire in
order to attain it, then you must start your game by believing it is
finished. You must feel yourself into and partaking of your goal. And
you must persist in that feeling in order to achieve it.
Now, another rule is said in this manner: "Cast your bread upon the
water and you will find it after many days." In other words, do not be
concerned as to how it is going to happen - just do it. This statement
hasn't a thing to do with doing good as the world defines the word.
Jesus was a carpenter. The word means one who produces from seed - as
a flower, a tree, the earth.
The prophecy of the Old Testament is the seed which a carpenter called
Jesus brings to birth. He comes not to abolish the law and the
prophets but to fulfill them.
The word, "bread" in the statement: "Cast your bread upon the waters,"
means to devour; to consume. Water is a euphemism for semen, that
living water which carries the sperm of man. The creative act is
psychological, not physical; yet the intentions are the same. You must
cast your bread upon the waters with passion! You must be consumed
with the desire and literally on fire with love for its possession,
for an intense imaginal act will always draw unto itself its own affinity.
Winston Churchill departed this world a very successful man; however,
during his life he had many failures. Then one day he made this
discovery, which changed his life. These are his words: "The mood
decides the fortunes of people, rather than the fortunes decide the mood."
Let me put it this way: The game of life is won by those who compare
their thoughts and feelings within to what appears on the outside. And
the game is lost by those who do not recognize this law. Being
consumed by anger, they see no change in their world. But if they
would change their mood, their circumstances would change. Then they
would recognize the law behind their world. THE GAME OF LIFE
