COLLECTING AN UNCERTAIN DEBT
Question—I helped a young man to start in business. He has paid me from time to time, but more than half of it is still due. We did not draw up any legal papers, so he is morally but not legally bound to repay me. I am filled with criticism End anxiety. Please advise me how to think this proposition through.

ANSWER—Begin your work definitely and scientifically and do not look to the person and c0nditions as your means of supply. As you free yourself, in your own mind, fr0m the possession of this particular money, you will free the young man also, and if you speak the right constructive word, your money will come to you. AS ONE DOOR CLOSES, ANOTHER OPENS. The treatment should be after this fashion: "I know that the Spirit of Infinite Go0dness is operating in and through me, around me and for me, and I know that this Spirit of Infinite Goodness is the Spirit of Limitless Power, and is governed by immutable law. There is no loss and my own cannot be kept from me. I know that everything I should have is brought to me without struggle or strain. I now claim from the Universal my abundant supply. That which I have given, I bless, knowing it must return to me blessed, and I know that whatever agencies are necessary for the fulfillment of MY WORD, are actively working for me now. The power of this word is INSTANT, since the Word is Pure Spirit—I expect and receive my good now." (page 137)
