the funny side of life

Volume 48

Do not hurry―do not worry. You are only here for a short visit. So be sure to stop and smell the flowers. 

―Walter Hagen

What is a powerful prayer for patience?

Lord, grant me patience, NOW!

What do you do with the goods? Spirits cannot help it. They seem driven by some strange force. Compelled to work and work without ceasing. There is no rest. A strange, mad instinct seems to drive them on. 

Why do you not give up keeping a shop? 

What a ridiculous idea! What on earth should I do without my shop? Why, my whole life has been centred in selling things ever since I was a boy.

Do you know what wonders are contained in odours, what a close link there is between the sense of smell and the emotions? Mental states can be altered and controlled through the introduction of a perfume or disagreeable odour. Each soul has a special perfume, which seems a sort of personal property and which will affect it more than any other. 

What is it that you alone can find?

Now, right here, let me tell you something―

Never accept anything because somebody says so or because it is in some book. If you find a statement in the Bible itself that is not reasonable to you, do not accept it until it proves itself to be true. Depend on your own consciousness to guide you, not somebody else's understanding. There are the two ends of the pole, repulsion and attraction―

You and you alone can find the right polarisation.

―Spirit Ione
