The spiritual concepts that are discussed in the book
A few of Shinn’s Spiritual concepts Shinn discusses in his book: The Law of Expectation: Shinn emphasizes the potential of the imagination to create life happenings: “Whatever man feels profound or sees is imprinted on the subconscious mind, and then it is carried out with the smallest detail.
Words are powerful: “Jesus Christ taught that man’s words played an important role during living. “By the words you speak, you are righteous, but by your actions, you are condemned’.” [Matthew
The Divine pattern and intuition: Shinn affirms that you must always seek out the “right” situation and the “Divine decision” and not seek out details.
A Law of Substitution As per Florence Scovel Shinn, sometimes our expectations are not matched by reality: “Many people are in the dark of their destiny and are pursuing items and circumstances that are not theirs which will only result in frustration and disappointment if achieved.
Law of Karma: The Law of Karma is also called”the” Law of Cause and Effect: “Whatsoever a man soweth will also reap.” It means that what a person does in words or actions is returned to him. What the sender gives, he’ll get.
Three Lessons from Life Three Lessons of Life as described in the book:
- “Life’s Class” writer says that the four main areas in our lives require surrendering our money, health, love and how we express the person we are. You can shape each part of your existence how you want. Then, he’ll bring you back a unique and fulfilled life.
- Your right to happiness is absolute. If you ever feel that you must work to achieve satisfaction, keep in mind that you’re born able to handle happiness! Make sure you are positively living your life, And stop blaming yourself for any mistake you make in the process.
- Sometimes your desires are wrong. Many people are still determining what they would like to achieve. It happens when they try to figure out a solution for their current situation to rectify them. For example, if you ask them what they require to be satisfied, many will answer that they need money, but happiness has nothing in common with money.
