不知不覺間,這裡變成了讀後感·分享部落。隨著我的成長轉變,這裡也跟着轉變了。現在閱讀變成了我很大的快樂及滿足感的來源。年青時自己有很多興趣,現在剩下來不多,閱讀成為了我持續的習慣及興趣。
最近看了 Florence Scovel Shinn 一百年前出版的書:《The game of life and how to play it》。厲害的地方是 Internet Archive 將書掃描,不用買就可以閱讀。
Florence Scovel Shinn
Florence Scovel Shinn (1987-1940) 是一位美國作家、插畫師、靈性導師及基督徒。她的曾曾祖父 Francis Hopkinson (1737–1791) 大有來頭,是當年代表賓夕凡尼亞州簽訂 Declaration Independence。而 Florence 也是在賓州接受教育,就讀 Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts 。
我一直以為美國的身心靈發展始於 50年代,但認識了 Florence Scovel Shinn 後才發現了比 New Age 更早的 New Thought Movement (1830s–1914) 。
令我感興趣的是到底 Florence 接觸了甚麼及有甚麼的經驗讓她踏上了靈性的道路,而又是甚麼影響了她,讓她對 Game of Life 中的法則深信不疑及成為該套理論的導師?在閱讀 The game of life 的時候,必須要代入她的時代背景才會明白我剛提出的問題。更不可思議的是她當年真的走得很「前」。
The Game of Life and How to Play It

「真相」是甚麼?
Receive and Give, a balanced channel
• Giving opens the way for receiving. In order to create activity in finances, one should give.
• There is always perfect balance of giving and receiving, and though man should give without thinking of returns。He violates law if he does not accept the returns which come to him; for all gifts are from god, man being merely the channel.

Casting the burden:
I put this situation in the hands of Infinite Love and Wisdom; if this trip is Divine plan, I bless it and no longer resist, but if is not divinely planned, I give thanks that it is now dissolved and dissipate.
I cast this burden of resentment on the Christ within, and I go free, to be loving, harmonious and happy.
