The Game of Life

Another life enriching book that I would like to share with you is "The Game of Life and How to Play it" by Florence Scovell Shinn, born on September 24, 1871, in Camden, New Jersey. She was educated at Friends Central School in Philadelphia. She later studied art at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts from 1889 to 1897.

Florence published her first book “"The Game of Life and How to Play It"” in 1925. Her second book, “Your Word is Your Wand” followed in 1928 and her final book “The Secret Door to Success” was published in 1940 shortly before her death on October 17, 1940. A fourth book, “The Power of the Spoken Word” is a compendium of her notes, gathered by one of her students and published posthumously in 1945.

This book opened my awareness more on how the power of mindset affects our lives. This might be a precursor to the Law of Attraction video that I've also shared in this blog. From the time we are born our mindset has been conditioned by our experiences and the people we come into contact with. These layers of encounters creates an imprint in our whole being. However, "The Game of Life" adds more life enriching explanation on how we can shape our future and live extraordinary lives with the assistance of the three departments of our mind, the conscious (carnal mind), subconscious (soul) and superconscious (spirit). The spirit as explained in the book is God given and the most powerful. To activate our superconscious realm, we must polish first our mind and second our soul.

The first chapter of the book explains life as a game that cannot be played successfully without the knowledge of spiritual law based from the Bible teachings which is about Giving and Receiving. Additional excerpt from the book says " Whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap. This means that whatever man sends out in word or deed, will return to him; what he gives, he will receive.If he gives hate, he will receive hate; if he gives love, he will receive love; if he gives criticism, he will receive criticism; if he lies he will be lied to; if he cheats he will be cheated. We are taught also, that the imaging faculty plays a leading part in the game of life."

Experience awakening, transformation and manifestation by reading this life enriching book "The Game of Life" by Florence Scovel Shinn. Worth reading and highly recommended.
