Life responds to your words, beliefs, and imagination; learn the rules and you change the score.

Florence Scovel Shinn’s classic treats existence as a mind‑and‑spirit game governed by reliable laws. Drawing on biblical parables and metaphysical reasoning, she shows how the spoken word acts like a tuning fork: affirmations set the pitch, “denials” silence fear, and non‑resistance dissolves friction. Forgiveness cancels old “debts,” intuition supplies timing, and generous action keeps prosperity circulating. Rather than striving, you cultivate calm expectancy—acting as if, speaking what you seek, and letting doors open “in divine order.”

Written in 1925 yet startlingly practical, it’s a compact playbook for aligning inner speech with outer results. If you’re testing manifestation or simply want cleaner mental habits, this gives you tools you can try today.
