36. LAND MUST BE NEAR
January 29, 2025
There was no manifesto in mind. I was just trying to understand The Game of Life and How to Play It. Since things are finally coming together, I went back to the book, to see what I overlooked. It begins with: “Most people consider life a battle, but it is not a battle, it is a game. It is a game, however, which cannot be played successfully without the knowledge of spiritual law….” Within the chapter, “Casting the Burden,” there’s a passage that I consider the missing puzzle piece to my story.
The subconscious is often impressed through music. Music has a fourth dimensional quality and releases the soul from imprisonment. It makes wonderful things seem possible, and easy of accomplishment!
I have a friend who uses her victrola, daily, for this purpose. It puts her in perfect harmony and releases the imagination.
Another woman often dances while making her affirmations. The rhythm and harmony of music and motion carry her words forth with tremendous power.
The student must remember also, not to despise the “day of small things.”
Invariably, before a demonstration, come “signs of land.”
Before Columbus reached America, he saw birds and twigs which showed him land was near.
Land must be near, for the stray puzzle piece and feather were found on the ground tonight.

I learned not too long ago that early board games were designed for adults, teaching valuable lessons on strategy, morality, and fate. Some ancient ones even connected players to the cosmos. THE GAME OF LIFE was a game I enjoyed as a kid, unaware that I'd still be trying to figure out how to “win” at life. Through my job, I discovered Florence Scovel Shinn’s book, The Game of Life and How to Play It, along with others rooted in the New Thought Movement. These teachings have served as my guide over the past few years. Believe you me, I didn’t plan on living by their universal rules—they only got a chance because my old ways weren’t working.
The following passage really stands out now because of my project, POTENTIAL WITH ASTROLOGY + AI. ChatGPT not only showed me my perfect self-expression, but also outlined the perfect plan.
There is for each man, perfect self-expression. There is a place which he is to fill and no one else can fill, something which he is to do, which no one else can do; it is his destiny!
This achievement is held, a perfect idea in Divine Mind, awaiting man’s recognition. As the imaging faculty is the creative faculty, it is necessary for man to see the idea, before it can manifest.
So man’s highest demand is for the Divine Design of his life.
He may not have the faintest conception of what it is, for there is, possibly, some marvelous talent, hidden deep within him.
His demand should be: “Infinite Spirit, open the way for the Divine Design of my life to manifest; let the genius within me now be released; let me see clearly the perfect plan.”
