A woman came to me and asked me to ʺspeak the wordʺ that she would marry a certain man with whom she was very much in love. (She called him A. B.)
I replied that this would be a violation of spiritual law, but that I would speak the word for the right man, the ʺdivine selection,ʺ the man who belonged to her by divine right.
I added, ʺIf A. B. is the right man you canʹt lose him, and if he isnʹt, you will receive his equivalent.ʺ She saw A. B. frequently but no headway was made in their friendship. One evening she called, and said, ʺDo you know, for the last week, A. B. hasnʹt seemed so wonderful to me.ʺ I replied, ʺMaybe he is not the divine selection ‐

The subconscious mind has no sense of humor and people often joke themselves into unhappy experiences

Fortunately the law works both ways, and a situation of lack may be changed to one of plenty.
