Игра жизни и как в неё играть in short
The book argues that life runs on rules, and that those rules can be learned. What you give comes back, what you picture takes shape, and what you say sets the law in motion. The mind has three parts, and Shinn teaches readers to pass fear and doubt to the deeper mind that holds the perfect plan.
What Игра жизни и как в неё играть is about
What would you do with eight dollars, a hunch, and just enough money for the fare home? In this book, a worn-out woman does exactly that, and the author says her small act of trust opens the way to thousands of dollars.
Florence Scovel Shinn was an American artist and teacher who held classes in New York. The Game of Life and How to Play It is her short work of practical spiritual teaching. She reads the Bible as a handbook about the mind, and she wants you to free yourself from fear, lack, and illness by changing your words and your pictures of the future.
Для кого. This book suits readers who enjoy brisk stories with a moral, who like Bible passages read as practical advice, and who want daily affirmations to try.
The 8 key ideas
Key idea 1 · free to read
Life is a game of giving and receiving
Shinn opens with a plain claim. Life is not a battle but a game, and nobody plays it well without knowing the rules. She finds those rules in the Old and New Testaments, and she says Jesus taught the game as one of giving and receiving.
The first rule is sowing and reaping. Whatever a person sends out in word or deed comes back to him. Give hate and hate returns, give love and love returns. She calls life a game of boomerangs. One friend snaps at an aunt over dinner, asking for no more talking so she can eat in peace. The next day a woman she hoped to impress says the very same words to her.
The second rule concerns imagination. What a person pictures will take shape in his affairs. A man fears a rare disease, pictures it constantly, and finally dies of it. So the game is won by training the mind to picture only good. Fear is the only real enemy, since doubt blocks what faith would bring.
What you send out and what you picture are the moves that decide the game.
