PUPIL: I am wondering if the nurse "lived happily ever after" with her unusually-acquired husband. And did they have the home and the children she so much desired?

MASTER: The couple have lived very happily together for a number of years now and do have a comfortable home and three children. I shall explain more of that later.

The secret of living life and loving this:

First, your feeling towards the livingness of life in you, as well as in all life everywhere, should be to recognize life as Intelligent and to know that when this Intelligence is working through you it does not change its essential nature.

It has always been a receptive Power, that is amenable to suggestion, and it is always responsive and creative. This is the basis of Troward's meaning in his words which I use for my own favorite affirmation, and which, quoted, is this: "My mind is a center of divine operation.

The divine operation is always for expansion and fuller expression; and this means the production of something beyond what has gone before, something entirely new, not included in past experience though proceeding out of it by an orderly sequence of growth.

Therefore since the Divine can not change its inherent nature it must operate in the same manner in me; consequently in my own special world, of which I am the center, it will move forward to produce new conditions, always in advance of any that have gone before." Once you really plug your individual consciousness into the great power of the Universe the above will be your line of thinking. You will involuntarily look to the Life-Principle in you, not only as the only Creative Energy but also as a directive Power.

That is you will let God determine, through your conscious mind, the actual forms and courses which the conditions for its manifestations will always take in your own individual world. Do remember always that the Originating Spirit of Life (of your life, too) is forever a forming Power. It is for this reason that we should use such great care in the selection of our habitual thoughts and feelings - for create they will, and always.
