Are you ready to embrace universal law and live a natural life? If there is one overall message to this book, it is that we must avoid being overwhelmed by life, to realise that there is something larger than us which is willing to shoulder the burdens. If we can live by faith instead of fear, we have found the secret door to success that she speaks of. Scovel Shinn devoted her life to helping people recognize the link between their attitudes and their level of happiness. A relaxed state of expectancy, she taught, is the best mindset for bringing success into your life. Sometimes, intensity of desire can actually turn away any good fortune because it suggests faith only in yourself and not in the higher power which has created you. Scovel Shinn describes prayer as telephoning to God, intuition, she says, is God telephoning you. She also says for example Your big opportunity and big success usually slide in, when you least expect it. You have to let go long enough for the great law of attraction to operate. You never saw a worried and anxious magnet. It stands up straight and hasn't a care in the world, because it knows needles can't help jumping to it. The things we rightly desire come to pass when we have taken the clutch off. We are so used to our daily life habits and patterns that we can find ourselves in ruts; we cease to be aware of the opportunities that arise through being fully present in the moment, and we stop expecting great things. By listening to and understanding this audio book you can and will change your outlook and life success.

Florence Scovel Shinn was an American artist and book illustrator who became a New Thought spiritual teacher and metaphysical writer in her middle years.
In New Thought circles, Shinn is best known for her first book, The Game of Life and How to Play It (1925). She expressed her philosophy as:
The invisible forces are ever working for man who is always "pulling the strings" himself, though he does not know it. Owing to the vibratory power of words, whatever man voices, he begins to attract.

The Power of the Spoken Word
Florence Scovel was born in Camden, New Jersey, the daughter of Alden Cortlandt Scovel and Emily Hopkinson Scovel. Her great, great, grandfather,Francis Hopkinson, signed the Declaration of Independence and is the earliest documented American composer of song. She was educated in Philadelphia where she attended the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and there met her future husband, the artist Everett Shinn. After marriage they moved into a studio apartment at 112 Waverly Place, near Washington Square, New York. Everett built a theatre next door, and wrote three plays in which Florence played a leading role. They spent their summers in Plainfield (Cornish Art Colony), New Hampshire in a Colonial-style house designed by her husband. Florence and Everett divorced in 1912.
Florence worked as an illustrator in the early 1900s. She illustrated fiction in Harper's and other magazines, as well as popular novels such as Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch (1901). The Society of Illustrators elected her to an Associate Membership in 1903, even though it did not admit women to full membership in the organization until 1922.
Her metaphysical works began with her self-published The Game of Life and How to Play it in 1925. Your Word is Your Wand was published in 1928 and The Secret Door to Success in 1940. After her death another two works were published, The Power Of The Spoken Word in 1945.
The Game of Life and How to Play it includes quotes from the Bible and anecdotal explanations of the author's understanding of God and man. Her philosophy centers on the power of positive thought and usually includes instructions for verbal or physical affirmation.

The Magic Path of Intuition
"The Magic Path of Intuition" by Florence Scovel Shinn is a posthumously published collection of writings that delve into the power of intuition and its role in achieving a fulfilling life. Shinn, a prominent metaphysical author and spiritual teacher of the early 20th century, offers practical advice on harnessing the inner voice that guides individuals toward their true path. Through a blend of affirmations, anecdotes, and spiritual insights, the book emphasizes the importance of trusting one's intuition to navigate life's challenges and manifest desires. Shinn's teachings encourage readers to develop a deeper connection with their inner selves, promoting a life of harmony, abundance, and personal empowerment. This work continues her legacy of empowering individuals to tap into their inherent wisdom and potential.
Dans ce best-seller classique, Florence Scovel Shinn a contribué à définir le genre de la réussite personnelle. Écrit dans la tradition de la nouvelle pensée, son message est simple et transformateur : nous recevons en retour ce que nous créons dans le monde par le biais de nos pensées, de nos paroles, de nos actions, de notre énergie et de notre attitude. La négativité et le pessimisme nous sont rendus en nature, mais en changeant le scénario en faveur d'attitudes et d'affirmations positives, nous sommes capables de manifester le succès et la joie dans tout ce que nous entreprenons.
La vie, nous dit Shinn, n'est pas une bataille de nous contre le monde, mais plutôt un jeu de donner et de recevoir. Ce que nous donnons au monde, nous le recevons en retour, qu'il s'agisse du poids sombre de la peur et de l'inhibition ou de la liberté de la joie et de la responsabilisation. Cette nouvelle édition est en fait une nouvelle traduction du texte originale, qui nous l'espérons, inspirera une nouvelle génération de lecteurs de livre audio à la recherche d'une compréhension des lois universelles de la Vie.
Pour Florence Scovel Shinn, l'intuition est une voie magique, encore faut-il savoir comment l'emprunter pour apprendre à triompher de ses embûches. Il s'agit d'abord d'avoir une confiance active en la Réserve universelle de manière à imprégner le subconscient d'espérance. Le subconscient n'est cependant qu'un pouvoir sans direction. L'intuition vient de votre esprit supraconscient. C'est pourquoi on doit influencer le subconscient avec les idées claires de l'esprit supraconscient au lieu des doutes et des peurs de l'esprit conscient. Il faut donc, en toute situation perçue comme menace ou désagrément, rester immobile et prendre conscience du pouvoir en nous. Mais attention, le jeu de la vie est un jeu de boomerangs. Tout ce que vous envoyez revient. Vous ne pouvez blesser quelqu'un sans vous blesser. C'est pourquoi envoyer de bonnes ondes à votre ennemi apparent vous entoure d'une grande aura de protection. Vous pouvez alors demander ce dont vous avez besoin et vous le recevrez, peut-être sous une forme différente de votre formulation, mais vous la reconnaîtrez bientôt comme la forme la plus judicieuse pour vous. Le monde de la quatrième dimension est le monde des idées parfaites. Entrevoyez d'abord la quatrième dimension, et le plan parfait de votre vie se réalisera. Vous occuperez la place que vous pouvez remplir et que personne d'autre ne peut remplir.
