SUMMARY OF THE GAME OF LIFE AND HOW TO PLAY IT

By FLORENCE SCOVEL SHINN

#1 Life is a game governed by Spiritual Law

Most people consider Life a battle, but it is a Game 

(Florence Scovel Shinn)

We all play the game, but understanding rules makes a difference. We suffer because we violate Spiritual Law. 

So instead of asking why this is happening to me, we should wonder: what Law am I violating? 

Because Life is not happening to us, Life is responding to us.

She gives the example of a woman who struggled financially, but when she let go of all her fear and resentment, her situation changed.

Quotes from the Game of Life:

Giving opens the way for receiving–Florence Shovel Shinn.

Although some people think that life is a battle, it is actually a game of giving and receiving–Florence Shovel Shinn.

One’s ships come in over a calm sea–Florence Shovel Shinn.

The simple rules are fearless faith, nonresistance and love –Florence Scovel Shinn.

Consciousness comes first, experience follows–Florence Scovel Shinn.

If ye be willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land (Isaiah 1:19)

The game of life is a game of boomerangs. Our thoughts, deeds and words return to us sooner or later with astounding accuracy –Florence Scovel Shinn.

Unforgiveness is the most prolific cause of disease. It will harden arteries or liver, and affect the eye-sight. In its train are endless ills

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 

–Florence Scovel Shinn–

We must stop planning, plotting and scheming, and let Infinite Intelligence solve the problem in its own way–Florence Scovel Shinn.

#2 Your word is your wand

Your speech is not simply describing your Life, your speech is participating in the creation of your life –Florence Scovel Shinn.

Words evidence your internal state of consciousness, beliefs and thought processes. Complaining, criticizing, declaring lack are only mirroring a feeling of void, which generate more void.

But words can also imprint form into reality and determine the direction of consciousness and crystallization of thoughts. 

The man who says he can’t do something is actually the man who can’t do something.

Quotes from the Game of Life:

The word became flesh (John 1)

Your word is your wand. The words you speak create your own destiny 

–Florence Scovel Shinn.

A man can change his conditions by changing his words. Any man who does not know the power of the word is behind the times–Florence Scovel Shinn.

The miracle that someone is often looking for often begins when someone changes the way they speak –Florence Scovel Shinn.

Words and thoughts are a tremendous vibratory force ever molding man’s body and affairs–Florence Scovel Shinn.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it and indulge it will eat its fruit and bear the consequences of their words. (Proverbs 18:21)

By thy words shall you be justified and by your words you will be condemned (Matthew 12:37)

#3 Nonresistance is the key to creation

The more you resist something, the more it persists and gets strengthened.

Agree with thine adversary quickly…Resist no evil (Matthew 5:39)

Emotional Resistance binds consciousness to unwanted conditions

–Florence Scovel Shinn–

Fear keeps fear alive.

Conflict perpetuates conflict.

Violence attracts more violence.

Resentment keeps the past alive.

Focusing on problems perpetuates more problems.

So accepting and letting go is not losing or giving up but rather allowing a higher frequency reality to enter ours.

Quotes from the Game of Life:

No man is your enemy, no man is your friend, every man is your teacher

–Florence Scovel Shinn–

Bless your enemy and you will rob him of his ammunition. His arrows will be transmuted into blessings. This law is true of nations as well as individuals. Bless a nation, send love and good-will to every inhabitant, and it is robbed of its power to harm–Florence Scovel Shinn.

The Chinese say that water is the most powerful element because it is perfectly nonresistant. It can wear away a rock, and sweep all before it.

–Florence Scovel Shinn–

#4 Imagination precedes manifestation

The vision comes first, crystallization follows. The external world is the manifestation of conditions that start in the inner world of consciousness.

Living in anticipation, living what you desire, assuming your future self, sets the conditions for it to appear.

Florence Scovel Shinn tells the story of a woman who sets her table every night in anticipation of her estranged husband coming back, and after two months of repeating that act of loyalty, her husband appeared.

Shinn also wrote about a man who constantly read and worried about a very rare, hard-to-get disease. He kept a vivid picture of it in his mind and feared it deeply. Because his imagination was glued to the negative image, he manifested the disease in his physical body and passed away. 

She taught that looking at fear is just using your imagination backward against yourself.

Quotes from the Game of Life:

I give thanks for my whirlwind success–Florence Scovel Shinn.

Make an affirmation immediately upon waking. For example: “Thy will be done this day! Today is a day of completion, I give thanks for this perfect day, miracle shall follow miracle and wonders shall never cease.” Make this a habit, and one will see wonders and miracles come into his life

–Florence Scovel Shinn–

Man must prepare for the thing he has asked for, when there isn’t the slightest sign of it in sight –Florence Scovel Shinn.

You will be a failure, until you impress the subconscious with the conviction you are a success. This is done by making an affirmation which clicks 

–Florence Scovel Shinn–

Every great work, every big accomplishment, has been brought into manifestation through holding to the vision, and often just before the big achievement, come apparent failure and discouragement

–Florence Scovel Shinn–

#5 Faith is not religious but Acceptance

Unconditional acceptance is the essence of true Faith. Believing with fear is assuming a dark future and therefore a lack of Faith.

You receive in the same measure as you believe, as it happened.

Shinn recounts the story from the Bible (2 Kings 3) involving three kings who were marching through the desert with their armies and horses. They completely ran out of water and faced certain death. In desperation, they consulted the prophet Elisha, who receive the order to dig ditches.

No trait of water not rain was a threat against their lives, yet they digged up the ditches and the following day they got a rain pour that saved their lives.

Then he touched their eyes and said, “According to your faith let it be done to you”; and their sight was restored.  (Matthew 29)

Quotes from the Game of Life:

Dig your ditches first, and then expect the water 

–Florence Scovel Shinn–

Man's supply is inexhaustible and unfailing when fully trusted, but faith or trust must precede the demonstration

Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen—” for faith holds the vision steady, and the adverse pictures are dissolved and dissipated, and in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

Jesus Christ brought the Good News (the Gospel) that there was a higher law than the law of Karma—-and that that law transcends the law of Karma. It is the law of grace, or forgiveness. It is the law which frees man from the law of cause and effect—the law of consequence. “Under grace, and not under law.

Man’s word is his wand filled with magic and power! Man comes into the world financed by God, with all that he desires or requires already on his pathway. This supply is released through faith and the Spoken Word. If thou canst believe, all things are possible.

Gratitude is the law of increase, and complaint is the law of decrease.

You must live fully in the now to make your dreams come true.

Summary on Mucusless Diet Healing System

 

Mucusless Diet Healing System

Based on Arnold Ehret´s findings

But adapted to modern times

Basic Introductory View

Arnold Ehret (1866-1922) was an Austrian expert naturopath and hygienist, author of great books, such as The Mucuseless Diet Healing System or Ration Fasting.

He experienced a spectacular healing after changing his life-style and helped over a thousand people to recover from many ailments with the help of fasting and a radically different way of understanding human eating.

Tragically, he was found dead on a street of Los Angeles, with a severe wound in his head, after giving a lecture, what led many to think he was murdered. He had many enemies in the medical scope as well as in the dairy and meat industries.

Anecdotes apart, after being diagnosed with a supposedly incurable disease, Arnold Ehret researched ancient methods of cleansing, experimenting with fasting and different diets, arriving to a very simple conclusion:

Origin of disease = Excess mucus = Obstruction of Vitality

This was also taught in the ancient medicines of China or India, and it´s being confirmed by modern science.

And Arnold Ehret pointed there is a very natural way of testing your inner degree of mucus, and it is what he called the "natural mirror for mucus", which is that "white coating" in the back of the tongue, after eating certain foods (specially cereals, flours, legums etc). 

People should not only wash their teeth, but clean the tongue too, to see if they are eating cleansing foods or dirty ones. 

Now, those of us who have been practicing the approach to a more Mucuseless Diet, can attest with no doubt, that many depressions, digestive problems and other symptoms go away with proper fasting and food intake, and we also gained vitality by eating less food. 

Yet, it is very important to realize we no longer live in Arnold Ehret´s days, so many of his clean diets would be too advanced and very dangerous for modern bodies full of toxic chemicals, not just mucus. This is something many self-proclaimed experts in Ehret´s system are not taking into consideration. 

Besides, a greater inner work must be done to reconnect with our true Divine Conscience, to understand the origin of certain allergies, hypersensitivities, and food addictions. 

Moreover, consider our three mains foods are: Life impressions for the Soul; vitality in the Air we breath and finally solids or liquids, which are just 20% of our food.

So don´t think all is gonna change just by eating better.

In any case, Arnold Ehret also realized in ancient times, human diet was much more simple and natural, since humans were spiritually connected to Nature, but this changed after certain conditions of catastrophe and spiritual degradation. 

Some of us came to the same conclusion, and we can prove this was the case by listening to our forebears, respecting the elders, unlike modern socio-pathic scientists.

Many ancient myths, such as those of Greece, India or those in the Hebrew Bible,  pass down that in the beginning, the spiritually capable Humanity (not mere hominoids), lived much longer days, had cleaner bodies and were able to live out of vital energy from the breathing air plus fruits, a few raw seeds (nuts) and leafy greens that contributed to clean the digestive system.

However, those ancient myths also explain the spiritual humanity experienced a huge fall and demise, disconnecting itself from spiritual nature and Divine Source, after eating from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Deficient, experimenting with certain pleasures of this world and the energy of the serpent (bottomless pit).

From then onwards, humanity was doomed to eat cooked food, as in the myth of Adam: by the sweat of your forehead you shall eat cooked food (lechem).

This coincides very much with the so called agricultural revolution after the mesolithic. Humans started to domesticate plants and even modified them, crossbreeding what should have been left intact.

Thus, most popular foods came to be those which are mucus forming in themselves, such as legumes and cereals, which are high in starch (complex sugar, undigestible for the human being), but also lectines, saponins and other harmful substances plants developed to defend themselves from human abuse.

Then, after a huge catastrophe called the Deluge after the Deluge, came the introduction of meat and dairy, 

Human bodies, lacking carnivore fangs and short intestines, as those of carnivores, were never biologically prepared to eat starch nor meats or fish, unlike animals, reason why humans started to degrade certain foods with fire, using even additives and stupid ssauces to make non-physiological more palatable.

No one, except savages and sick people, would eat raw meat, raw fist, raw potatoes, etc.

Unfortunately, after thousands of years eating non-physiological diets, the human body started to accumulate a huge excess of toxic substances, and the body produced more and more mucus (pituitary from pituitary glands), in order to protect the walls of the digestive system from an excess acidity.

Sadly enough, mucus is inherited through the milk of the mothers, who later feed their kids with mucus forming and acid forming foods, as Arnold Ehret wrote in his works.

Key factors of the System

A) Objectives: Cleansing the body, by dissolving, dragging and expelling excess mucus. Reconnecting the body to natural vitality and true Life impressions. 

As the person cleans up the body, it becomes easier to approach lighter diets, reducing considerably the amount of food consumed. But this is a very gradual process.

In our modern state of disease and excess of toxic load, it it is nearly impossible for most people to go back to a raw food diet, in spite many fake claims, aimed to many money.

B) Procedures:

1) Rational fasting (12h-14h). Daily but gradual. Never practice longs fasts until the body is cleaner, to avoid congestions and greater health problems. Every fast pours toxic substances into the bloodstream, and it make the person feel dizzy or weak.

In some mild fasting, water, infusions or vegetable soups (with no vegetables) might be allowed. And never fruit juices, since they’re too dissolvent and can cause damage, causing cravings, excess acidity, kidney failure, etc. 

The most important is preparing the fast, taking out excessively mucus forming foods and brooming out mucus with proper foods. 

The first meal to break the fast (breakfast) must facilitate the broom effect (raw leafy greens and scratched raw carrot), which drags mucus and rises alkalinity.

2) Regular evacuation: as many as number of meals. Two meals and two evacuations would be the ideal.

More than two meals a day is not part of the system, but a bridge diet can include a tiny breakfast and two more meals. Never more than that.

There should be a 6h window for digestion between the two main meals.

If there is constipation, water enemas must be applied, at least once a day. Never, ever, spend even one day without going to the privy. 

An infusion of Sennha leaves can also help the elimination and expulsion of mucus, taken on empty stomach, 2h before the first meal of the day.

If the dose is adequate (one soup spoon), the result comes in about 5h/6h. So have a toilet close for emergency release in that rage. 

If the infusion does not work, try to drink the cracked leaves too.

But please, do not overuse this procedure; Sennha are poisonous and work by making the intestine pour water into the intestines. 

One infusion every two weeks is a good reference schedule. 

Sweating is also a good way to eliminate toxins. For this, we can use sauna or excercising with warm clothing.

2) Suppress or reduce acid forming and mucus forming foods or drinks

Not allowed in general: 

Alcohol, Coffe, Sodas (Energy Drinks, Coca-cola, Fanta, etc), Dairy Drinks (Cacao Milkshakes etc), Protein drinks, Fried foods, Shellfish (squeed, muzzles, prawns etc), Flours, Meats, Fish, Cakes, Biscuits…

These reduce the healing capacity of the body, since they are anti-physiological. The digesting system is not designed for them.

In the beginning, beware of raw fruit, it is too dissolvent and does not help the broom effect, bringing an excess mucus into the bloodstream. 

Legumes are suppressed, but in small amounts and forms, can be practical exceptions, such as hummus with bread (never abuse it).

Allowed only under temporal and specific circumstances:

In a “bridge” approaching diet with just two meals, some people might try keeping acid forming foods, such as certain meats or fish, but only after the vegetables, with alkaline salads and never fried, cooked in planks or pans with a bit of olive oil or steamed.

Other bridge approach can be three meals, where the first is a breakfast including: leafy greens, scratched carrot with fresh cottage cheese and a bit of honey.

An alternative, a bit more dissolving, is cooked fruit with curd, or bread with fresh cheese.

The reason of using fresh cheese, curd or cottage cheese, is that these are less acidic , less mucus forming and more digestible than other types of cheese.

3) Respect higienist principles of good food combination:

–Avoid starch + protein = potatoes + eggs/meat/fish; bread/rice + fish, etc

–Avoid double proteins: eggs + fish/meat, meat + fish, etc.

–Avoid Double starches: potatos + pasta; bread + potatoes; bread+rice, etc

–Avoid mixing fruits with heavy meals or bread. Fruits must be always consumed in monomeal and on empty stomach, or 20 minutes before meal.

–Avoid soups, since they dissolve too much mucus. Some low liquid vegetable purees are preferable.

–Avoid excess fats, since these are acid forming (dairy, oils, nuts, avocados, etc). They must be used in whole forms and tiny proportions.

Note: in special circumstances, protein+starch can be used to slow down an excess of elimination in a health crises, if it’s causing problems (rashes, dizziness, etc), but take this with a pinch of salt. Only proceed if you know how to use it.

Bad combinations which might be practical can include: Spanish omelet (egg+potatoe) or Eggs+fried potatoes, etc. 

4) Simple and Equilibrated Dishes

The body mainly needs glucose (simple sugar), which is one of the main components of blood, plus minerals and vitamines. 

Macronutrients are not so important in the way conventional diets presume.

Ideal Proportion: 80% (Raw Salad + Cooked Vegetable), 20% (Starch or Animal Protein).

Examples for a safe approach to the mucusless diet:

First dish, 80%: Raw Leafy Green Salads (broom effect) + Cooked Specific Carbo Hydrates (Carrots, Zucchini, Squash, Broccoli, Green Beans, Celery, Cabbage, Mushrooms, etc). 

Those vegetables are starchy but most of it become simple sugars and good fiber after being cooked.

Second dish, 20%, to slow down the elimination process, from greater to less mucus-forming: 

Pasta with vegetables

White Rice with vegetables

Integral Rice with vegetables

Boiled eggs (with olive oil or homemade mahonesa/mayonese)

Quinoa with vegetables.

French omelette

Cottage cheese, Curd or Fresh Cheese.

Boiled Potatoe

Bread with olives, avocado or hummus.

Bread alone.

6) Warnings:

This is not a diet nor a bunch of diets, but a very clever system to clean up the organism so the body has more vitality to heal itself.

It all must be adapted to each person, depending on their level of toxicity, and gradual steps must be followed.

Never, ever try to go fast. So be careful with taking raw fruits, since these contain acids that are powerful dissolvents of mucus, and should not even be consumed until the body is adapted to cleansing.

Some fruits in particular can be very problematic, such as lemons, for their power is greater and can cause rashes and digestive disconfort. The same goes for tomatoes.

And of course, forget about "fruit juices". They are not natural and can accelerate too much the elimination, clogging up the digesting system, causing also fermentation.

Clean the body, and then you shall be able to reintroduce fruit with lesser problems. Yet these contain fiber which cannot be good from "broom effect", so leafy greens and scratched raw carrots are still necessary.

Respect your body and don´t clog up the digesting system. This is not a race, and we already know the terrible consequences experienced by raw foodists, vegans and other vegetarians who don´t know how to be vegetarians.

An excess of elimination extended in time can cause: weight loss, rashes, allergies, cravings, false hunger, dizziness, brain fog, etc.

These symptoms mean there is an unclever approach to dieting, as well as emotional trauma, which must also be handled properly to eliminate certain symptoms (constipation, allergies, hypersensitivities, etc).

Good guidance from experienced people is required.

My private sessions of mind-body work tutoring and soul counseling can also include guidance on this repect if required.

5) Final Considerations on the Advanced Stages:

As the body gets cleaner, it is possible to reintroduce raw fruit, in monomeals, on the morning, and on empty stomach.

In these stages, cravings and false hunger disappear, and it is possible to stay for longer periods without eating.

Very few people have reached those levels, but one of the best examples was Arnold Ehret himself, which proved how to fast for weeks and still be able to climb a mountain.

In Chinese Daoism and certain remote places, there are testimonies on masters of the eternal youth, but nowadays we have the example of the Unza tribe in the Himalayan mountains. They live on a very simple diet consisting on seeds and dry fruits, reaching up to 150 years of age with no diseases. And of course, they eat no meat, fish, eggs or dairy at all.

Of course, this has nothing to do with fake breatharians and scams raw foodists, who were popular for some time, until they started to disappear due to health problems.

Anyway, do your own research, study yourself and don´t let any crank tell you what you must do. Everything must be based on true natural science and experience.
