From Florence Scovel Shinn’s “The Secret Door to Success”:
“The intuitive person is never undecided: he is given his leads and hunches, and goes boldly ahead, knowing he is on the magic path.
“In Truth, we always ask for definite leads just what to do; you will always receive one if you ask for it. Sometimes it comes as intuition, sometimes from the external.
“One of my students, named Ada, was walking down the street, undecided whether to go to a certain place, or not; she asked for a lead. Two women were walking in front of her. One turned to the other and said, ‘Why don’t you go Ada?’—The woman’s name just happened to be Ada—my friend took it as a definite lead, and went on to her destination, and the outcome was very successful.
“We really lead magic lives, guided and provided for at every step; if we have ears to hear and eyes that see.
“Of course we have left the plane of the intellect and are drawing from the superconscious, the God within, which says, ‘This is the way, walk ye in it.’
“Whatever you should know, will be revealed to you. Whatever you lack, will be provided! ‘Thus saith the Lord which maketh a way in the sea and a path in the mighty waters.’
“‘Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.’
“People who live in the past have severed their contact with the wonderful now. God knows only the now; now is the appointed time, today is the day.
“Many people lead lives of limitation, hoarding and saving, afraid to use what they have; which brings more lack and more limitation.
“I give the example of a woman who lived in a small country town: she could scarcely see to get about, and had very little money. A kind friend took her to an oculist, and presented her with glasses, which enabled her to see perfectly. Sometime later she met her on the street without the glasses. She exclaimed, ‘Where are your glasses?’
“The woman replied, ‘Well, you don’t expect me to hack ’em out by using them every day, do you? I only wear them on Sundays.’
“You must live in the now and be wide awake to your opportunities.
“‘Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.’
“This message is meant for the individual: think of your problem and know that Infinite Intelligence knows the way of fulfillment. I say the way, for before you called you were answered. The supply always precedes the demand.
“God is the Giver and the Gift and now creates His own amazing channels.
“When you have asked for the Divine Plan of your life to manifest, you are protected from getting the things that are not in the Divine Plan.
“You may think that all your happiness depends upon obtaining one particular thing in life; later on, you praise the Lord that you didn’t get it.
“Sometimes you are tempted to follow the reasoning mind, and argue with your intuitive leads, suddenly the Hand of Destiny pushes you into your right place; under grace, you find yourself back on the magic path again.
“You are now wide awake to your good—you have the ears that hear (your intuitive leads,) and the eyes which see the open road of fulfillment.”
“The genius within me is released. I now fulfill my destiny.”
