The world of Florence Scovel Shinn

(1871-1940) WHO IS FLORENCE SCOVEL SHINN?

Florence Scovel Shinn was an artist and a metaphysics teacher who lived in New York in the early part of the 20th century. Her books are truly inspiring. She is one of the twentieth centuries greatest metaphysical teachers. Her words and teachings reflected spiritual teaching from the beginning of time, with a dialogue suited to the secular lives of the people she spoke to in the time she was on this planet gracing us with her presence . Her books are relatively short, but immensely profound. In her books she shows that we can enjoy a winning streak of health, prosperity, and happiness simply by changing the way we think and feel. She shows us the correlation of the powerful teaching of The Law of Attraction as it was presented in the biblical teachings. She shares real-life stories with us from her many clients to illustrate how positive attitudes and emotional affirmations invariably succeed in making one a "winner" in life--able to control life's conditions and release abundance through a knowledge of spiritual law. Florence Shinn is one of last century's most popular Success teachers. She had quite a following in her "heyday", for her lectures were well attended and her books were popular not only in America, but also across the globe. I read her books years ago and JUST LOVED THEM! It is sooooooooo great to know we are not alone on our path to greater heights of deliberate creation and expanded LOVE.To read more about Flo see below.

More about Florence: Florence Scovel was born September 24, 1871, in Camden, New Jersey. Her mother was the former Emily Hopkinson of Pennsylvania. Her father was Alden Cortlandt Scovel, and he practiced law in Camden. Besides Florence there was an older daughter and younger son. Florence was educated in Philadelphia at the Friends Central School and studied art at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts from 1889 to 1897. It was there that she met her future husband, Everett Shinn (1876 - 1953), who was a fairly celebrated painter of impressionistic canvases and realistic murals. Although Florence was educated at the art Academy, her pen and ink drawings are the result of her natural talent and not technical training.

Shortly after Florence's graduation from the Academy, she and Everett were married. The Shinns moved to New York City where they pursued separate careers in art. Everett was interested in the theatre and not only designed and painted for it but built a small theatre in the courtyard behind their studio home at 112 Waverly Place, near Washington Square. He organised the Waverly Players and wrote three plays in each of which Florence played the title role.

Before World War one she was an illustrator of popular children's literature in magazines and books. In 1912, after fourteen years of marriage, Everett requested a divorce.

In 1925, having been unable to find a publisher for "The Game of Life and How to Play It" she published it herself. "Your Word is Your Wand" was published in 1928 and "The Secret Door to Success" was published in 1940 shortly before her death on October 17, 1940. The "Power of the Spoken Word" is a compendium of her notes, gathered by a student and published postumously in 1945.

Florence Scovel Shinn had the ability to explain her success principles and how they work in an entertaining and easy-to-read style. By sharing real-life stories she illustrates how positive attitudes and affirmations invariably succeed in making one a "winner" in life, able to control life's conditions and release abundance through a knowledge of spiritual law.

Ms. Shinn passed on to a broader sphere in the "game of life" in 1940, but through her artistry and inspired writings has left an indelible mark on the canvas of life on planet earth which will live on to broaden the horizons of men and women the world over for generations to come.

Exerpts from The Game of Life and How top play It

Most people consider life a battle, but it is not a battle, it is a game.

It is a game, however, which cannot be played successfully without the knowledge of spiritual law, and the Old and the New Testaments give the rules of the game with wonderful clearness. Jesus Christ taught that it was a great game of Giving and Receiving.

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.

If he gives hate, he will receive hate; if he gives love, he will receive love; if he gives criticism, he will receive criticism; if he lies he will be lied to; if he cheats he will be cheated. We are taught also, that the imaging faculty plays a leading part in the game of life.

Keep thy heart (or imagination) with all diligence, for out of it are the issues of life." (Prov. 4:23.)
