Around the Year With Emmet Fox - 14 April 2011
CLAIM YOUR NOURISHMENT
I had and amusing experience when I first came to America. Passing an attractive -looking restaurant, I went inside, and selecting a table, sat down and waited. Nothing happened. I continued to wait. All around me, people were enjoying their food, and only I was left out. After a while the truth dawned on me - I was in a cafeteria. (This system had not yet made its appearance in England.) I then realized that while there was plenty of food to be obtained, one had to go forward and claim it for oneself, or go without.
The universe is run exactly on the lines of a cafeteria. Unless you claim - mentally - what you want, yo umay sit and wait forever.
Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat... (Isiah 55:1).
