who knew the spiritual law of opulence, was thrown continually in a business-way, with a man who made her feel very poor. He talked lack and limitation and she commenced to catch his poverty thoughts, so she disliked him, and blamed him for her failure.

She knew in order to demonstrate her supply, she must first feel that she _had received—a feeling of opulence must precede its manifestation_. It dawned upon her, one day, that she was resisting the situation, and seeing two powers instead of one.

So she blessed the man and baptized the situation “Success”! She affirmed, “As there is only one power, God, this man is here for my good and my prosperity” (just what he did not seem to be there for). Soon after that she met, _through this man_, a woman who gave her for a service rendered, several thousand dollars, and the man moved to a distant city, and faded harmoniously from her life.

Make the statement, “Every man is a golden link in the chain of my good,” for all men are God in manifestation, _awaiting the opportunity given by man, himself, to serve the divine plan of his life_. “Bless your enemy, and you rob him of his ammunition.”

His arrows will be transmuted into blessings. This law is true of nations as well as individuals. Bless a nation, send love and good-will to every inhabitant, and it is robbed of its power to harm. Man can only get the right idea of nonresistance, through spiritual understanding.

My students have often said: “I don’t want to be a door-mat.” I reply “when you use nonresistance with wisdom, no one will ever be able to walk over you.” Another example: One day I was impatiently awaiting an important telephone call.

I resisted every call that came in and made no out-going calls myself, reasoning that it might interfere with the one I was awaiting. Instead of saying, “Divine ideas never conflict, the call will come at the right time,” leaving it to Infinite Intelligence to arrange, I commenced to manage things myself—I made the battle mine, not God’s and remained tense and anxious.

The bell did not ring for about an hour, and I glanced at the ’phone and found the receiver had been off that length of time, and the ’phone was disconnected. My anxiety, fear and belief in interference, had brought on a total eclipse of the telephone.

Realizing what I had done, I commenced blessing the situation at once; I baptized it “success,” and affirmed, “I cannot lose any call that belongs to me by divine right; I am under _grace, and not under law_.” A friend rushed out to the nearest telephone, to notify the Company to reconnect.

She entered a crowded grocery, but the proprietor left his customers and attended to the call himself. My ’phone was connected at once, and two minutes later, I received a very important call, and about an hour afterward, the one I had been awaiting. _One’s ships come in over a calm sea._ So long as man resists a situation, he will have it with him.
