So let each family play together or separately as much as their circumstances warrant. We are sure God wants us to be happy, joyous, and free.” (Page 132, ¶ 2 & Lets end our fourth session together with a couple readings from the Eleventh Chapter, A Vision for You. Last line of Thus we grow. And so can you, though you be but one man with this book in your hand. We believe and hope it contains all you will need to begin.” “We know what you are thinking. You are saying to yourself ‘I’m jittery and alone. I couldn’t do that But you can. You forget that you have just now tapped a source of power much greater than yourself. To duplicate, with such backing, what we have accomplished is only a matter of willingness, patience and labor.” (Page 162, ¶ 3; page 163, ¶ Page 164, second paragraph: “Our book is meant to be suggestive only. We realize we know only a little. God will constantly disclose more to you and to us. Ask Him in your morning meditation what you can do each day for the man who is still sick. The answers will come, if your own house is in order. But obviously you cannot transmit something you haven’t got. See to it that your relationship with Him is right, and great events will come to pass for you and countless others. This is the Great Fact for us.” “Abandon yourself to God as you understand God. Admit your faults to Him and to your fellows. Clear away the wreckage of your past. Give freely of what you find and join us. We shall be with you in the Fellowship of the Spirit, and you will surely meet some of us as you trudge the Road of Happy Destiny.” “May God bless you and keep you—until then.” (Page 164, ¶ 2, 3, & 4)
