AVENUES OF OPPORTUNITY
Question—An opportunity has been offered me which at first appeared to be perfect in every respect. Now I am put off and put off but always enough encouragement and assurance is given me to keep me interested. Should I turn from that to something else or stick with it as long as there is any hope?

ANSWER-GO within yourself and find out if this opportunity is really what you want. Ask the universal subjective mind within you to reveal to you the truth about the situation, EXPECT the truth to come forth, and allow your mind to recognize it when it does appear in your conscious mind. It is a good practice to affirm daily: "There is no want of knowledge; I know the truth about this condition for God is Truth and I instantly know all that I need to know about it." Realize that you cannot make such a demand and not have it answered. For that which you are addressing can do no other than obey you. And know that the Intelligence to which you address yourself is Truth Itself. Stay with this One and never deviate from It; never leave It for a moment. Nothing else can equal this attitude. Wait till you see results in your conscious mind before stopping the work. But know that you must have your answer, and be ever on the alert to receive and act upon it. Other avenues may present themselves in the meantime for your Objective activity. If they do, take them by all means, but do not give up the idea that you can know the truth about the opportunity you mention. If it is really yours, you may have it. In fact, you cannot be kept out of it. What is yours is part and parcel of you.

HARMONY IN THE HOME
Question—Please help me to establish harmony in our home.

ANSWER—Every idea must stand on its own feet. If you (page 120) treat yourself directly to know that there is no interference in your personal affairs, you will find that all attempts at such interference will be dissolved. This treatment can be applied in your case.

Meditate as follows:
"My home life is a harmony of joy, love and trust. There is nothing to interfere with the even flow of love in and through it." Contemplate it as you would have it, and SEE NO OTHER MENTAL PICTURE. Persistent knowing of the truth that "there is no interference in your personal affairs," believing it with all your soul in the very face of apparent contradiction, will win the day for you.
