The Law of Grace Transcends the Law of Karma

Law of Grace Daily VigilanceJesus Christ brought the good news (the gospel) that there was a higher law than the law of Karma—and that that law transcends the law of Karma. It is the law of grace, or forgiveness. It is the law which frees man from the law of cause and effect—the law of consequence. “Under grace, and not under law.”

We are told that on this plane, man reaps where he has not sown; the gifts of God are simply poured out upon him. “All that the Kingdom affords is his.” This continued state of bliss awaits the man who has overcome the race (or world) thought.

God is your Supply so Spend Fearlessly – Florence Scovel-Shinn

One of my students was shopping with her little nephew. The child clamored for a toy, which she told him she could not afford to buy.

She realized suddenly that she was seeking lack, and not recognizing God as her supply!

So she bought the toy, and on her way home, picked up, in the street, the exact amount of money she had paid for it. Continue reading “God is your Supply so Spend Fearlessly – Florence Scovel-Shinn”

If man ignores these leadings to spend or to give, the same amount of money will go in an uninteresting or unhappy way.

A woman told me, on Thanksgiving Day, she informed her family that they could not afford a Thanksgiving dinner. She had the money, but decided to save it. Continue reading “Law Always Stands Back of the Man who Spends Fearlessly”

You have to Feel Rich to be Rich – Florence Scovel-Shinn

Many people are in ignorance of the fact that gifts and things are investments, and that hoarding and saving invariably lead to loss.

“There is that scattereth and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty.”

I knew a man who wanted to buy a fur-lined overcoat. He and his wife went to various shops, but there was none he wanted. He said they were all too cheap-looking. At last, he was shown one, the salesman said was valued at a thousand dollars, but which the manager would sell him for five-hundred dollars, as it was late in the season.

How to be Rich – Florence Scovel-Shinn

Man cannot force the external to be what he is not. If he desires riches, he must be rich first in consciousness.

A woman came to me asking treatment for prosperity. She did not take much interest in her household affairs, and her home was in great disorder.

I said to her, “If you wish to be rich, you must be orderly. All men with great wealth are orderly—and order is heaven’s first law.” I added, “You will never become rich with a burnt match in the pincushion.” Continue reading “How to be Rich – Florence Scovel-Shinn”

How to Neutralize the Law of Karma – Florence Scovel-Shinn

I will give another example of sowing and reaping, which came in the most curious way.

A woman came to me saying, she had received a counterfeit twenty-dollar bill, given to her at the bank. She was much disturbed, for, she said, “The people at the bank will never acknowledge their mistake.”

I replied, “Let us analyze the situation and find out why you attracted it.”

She thought a few moments and exclaimed: “I know it, I sent a friend a lot of stage money, just for a joke.” So the law had sent her some stage money, for it doesn’t know anything about jokes.

Controlling the Law of Karma – Florence Scovel-Shinn

Law of Karma Florence Scovel Shinn“Nothing ever happens without an on-looker” is an ancient saying.

Man sees first his failure or success, his joy or sorrow, before it swings into visibility from the scenes set in his own imagination. We have observed this in the mother picturing disease for her child, or a woman seeing success for her husband.

Jesus Christ said, “And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.”

So, we see freedom (from all unhappy conditions) comes through knowledge—a knowledge of Spiritual Law.

Obedience precedes authority, and the law obeys man when he obeys the law. The law of electricity must be obeyed before it becomes man’s servant. When handled ignorantly, it becomes man’s deadly foe. So with the laws of Mind! Continue reading “Controlling the Law of Karma – Florence Scovel-Shinn”
