BUSINESS CHANGE
Question—If, in fact, a person's business is not prosperous, although he conscientiously, to the best of his knowledge, is endeavoring to follow the guidance of Universal Mind and Wisdom, and if indications suggest a change of location, would it be the part of wisdom to try the change of location, rather than attempt to demonstrate a prosperous business in the old location?
ANSWER—The way to demonstrate the above named pr0position is to take the mental stand that, as an idea of Truth, man is always in his right place. This "right place" includes happiness, harmony and abundance, peace, poise and power.
Prosperity is a part of the natural order of the universe. We are as successful as our vision allows us to be. We should keep the mental vision above adversity and never allow the mind to agree that any place is outside the divine order.
If, in demonstrating this, a change in location is necessary the way will be opened without confusion and we shall enter the new field without hurry or worry. We must wait until the change is thrust upon us or until the desire to act is dominant and becomes an irresistible tendency of our thought.
Remember that a correct treatment is both cause and effect and will open the way and compel us to walk in that way. The words spoken into being, in treatment, provide the way and guide our steps aright if we have confidence in them.
MEETING MONEY PROBLEMS
Question—Health, happiness, and agreeable disposition, etc., seem like real things to work for, but the only time I am really interested in mastering finance is when I need money
(page 129) and that is surely a poor time to be without it. I can do many things well, but am not worth a cent in finding the place in which to do them. The rent of a house is my only source of income. It has been vacant since December. I would like to sell it, also the one in which I live. I depend for money on a son's generosity—not a nice thing to do. Can you help me solve the money problem?
ANSWER—Perhaps if you would cease placing your dependence upon any person and turn your thoughts directly to the inward principle of self-perpetuating and self-manifesting existence you would remove a complex in your mind which is making it impossible for good to come to you, other than through one source. In doing mental work we resolve things into ideas and proceed upon the basis that thought will take form in the material world and that conditions are the objective outcome and physical manifestation of subjective concepts. Try to sense yourself as being surrounded by plenty, and do not look to any particular source for the manifestation of this abundance.
