Our Invisible Supply – How To Obtain

Frances Larimer Warner

PREFACE

As an introduction to this little book, and explanatory of its purpose, I print immediately following this preface, three very appreciative letters from students. These, selected from many more, first suggested to me the idea of compiling a few of my letters to students in book form, since they seem to have proven helpful, and humanity’s problems are about alike the world over. In this way their field of usefulness will be enlarged, and no one has the right to withhold a helping hand or word when possible to give.

In the arrangement of the book, I have followed my letters by three short articles which emphasize my individual teaching in the matter of calling into action the Law of Supply, and which when printed in the columns of one of our magazines brought to me so many letters of inquiry and appeal, as to show that many were seeking for the truth which I had demonstrated. To help others who have like problems, these articles are reprinted here,—the third (“An Elucidation”) to prevent any misconception or misapplication of my methods of demonstrating the Law of Supply.

THREE LETTERS FROM STUDENTS OF FRANCES LARIMER WARNER

—printed here as an example of the needs which exist all about us, and which it is the object of this book to teach us how to satisfy, through the Law of Supply.

My Dear Lover of Souls:

YOU really knew what I needed, for your letter has gone to the spot and has really done me more good than most things that have come into my pathway for years. “To consecrate yourself an empty vessel to the one intelligence and source of supply that knows no limitation at all.” All right. Let me tell you a little demonstrating I did the week I wrote you. I held the thought that God was my supply. I sent down town by a friend for a little brown teapot; when I came home in the afternoon rather tired— ought one to say so?—I had our cook make me a cup of tea. On uncovering the teapot I found inside the cover a delicious stick of almond brittle. A night or two afterwards brought me a delicious treat of ice cream delivered at the door. These are exceedingly material items, aren’t they?

I am possessed of a longing for a home—oh, such a home, with a library. And in the library is a grate fire of wood; before the grate fire are two people; I know them. Well, I picked up the Literary Digest, Monday, and there pictured on the first page, or rather cover, was a roaring fire of wood, no paltry or artificial gas. Then today I happened on the lines of Evangeline about Basil going to their home and Gabriel bidding him welcome to the hearth, while above me as I write is my “Hanging of the Crane.” What shall I do? Build my fire, then erect my home around it? Is the law beginning to work a bit? You say “This attractive force is an intelligence, and it brings us in touch with the ways and means.” I guess that is one thing that has been the trouble with me. I have been doing some graduate work at Columbia, and came here with the determination to try to gain some recognition in a literary way by starting out with research articles. I have worked at the Peabody library quite a bit this fall but have had to dog myself to it. Have felt purely creative work was mine, something seemed to tell me so. So I waited. I have never sent anything for publication; in fact, have never finished anything in right shape, but am always possessed with the longing, the desire, the feeling I can. Is there a law that governs creative work? Oh, this must be a beautiful life to live when one thoroughly grasps the whole significance, when one can, as you say you do, really feel one’s self an instrument in the hands of God, the Good, one to whom all good may come, from whom all good may flow. Is it really and truly so, no myth, no fake? I do not mean to ask you—to doubt—because there is that quality in your letter which makes for Truth; I mean rather to exclaim at the wonder of it. I found a dainty little handkerchief down town for you today, I thought perhaps you would not have the same opportunity to find pretty things in Dakota. With sincerest thanks for your letter,

Your appreciating,

M. S. F.

Dear Friend:

I WRITE you with a heart full of gratitude for your most helpful and encouraging letter. Many of the statements were so forceful and at the same time so simple and convincing that it “struck home” better than anything I have read along this line before. Even while the actual demonstration has not appeared in the visible, I do believe it exists at this moment in the invisible and real substance, and will manifest itself in the outer world some tune. The statement that seemed to appeal to me most, perhaps, was that money (and I also apply it to my health) is but the symbol of the exhaustless fountain of all supply and harmony in the real substance; and if held with a taut rein, we withhold the substance; so I am trying to let go the rein and let in the overflow of all that I need and desire. There seems to be one question that perplexes me just along this line, or perhaps should say about this matter of supply. The matter of physical healing I can comprehend, as the body is here, a tangible presence; but it seems that while the infinite supply is inexhaustible, we ourselves have to make a certain amount of effort to bring about results. For instance, by simply sitting down and visualizing the desire for a million dollars, (to take an extreme case), would you get it? I should think not, unless one had the requisite amount of faith, ability and work to bring about the result. You told me about visualizing the home you desired and actually bringing about the desired condition. I like the idea immensely, only cannot quite reconcile it with what I have just said. If you would be so good as to again explain it to me I should be very grateful. I am anxious to learn and to grow, that I may be the means sometime of giving light and help to others. Again, do you think one is selfish in desiring material things and endeavoring to demonstrate their possession in this way? To bring a commonsense view to the case, (while to be sure the ideal view is to work selflessly,) at the stage in evolution of the majority of mortals and I know in my own case, I do require certain necessities and desire certain luxuries or simple pleasures and am not ashamed to confess it, while at the same time that to which I would like to devote my life most of all would be active work along these New Thought lines. I love the teachings, the world needs them, and I would like to do my share in giving them out. Have made a few typewritten copies of your good letter which I am sending to you together with the original, thinking possibly you may find it convenient to have it in typewritten form for future reference. Also enclose one dollar by way of a small offering of appreciation of your kindness in giving me the suggestions that you have. Thanking you again for the same, I am,

Lovingly yours,

J. M. E.

Dear Friend:

I FEEL I cannot half express my appreciation for your goodness and dearness in giving me so much of your attention, and the little offering I enclose is very far from being anything like adequate for the value received, but is all my present circumstances allow. When I begin to demonstrate improved conditions, it will be my first pleasure to express more fully the gratitude in my heart. Your letter was so exactly what I have longed for, the testimony of one who has proved step by step these beautiful theories which seem to our matter-clouded senses intangible, almost unattainable ideals. I felt after reading your article, as many did—could that be for me? And now your dear letter comes, with its heart-warming assurances that it is within my power to attain. You are very good, indeed, to so freely give the stranger knocking at your gates, the golden key which has unlocked for you such treasures after years of searching; and my heart thrills with gratitude and wonder each time I think such chance has come to me. For your words are vital, and I cannot help feeling assured that I have now the clue, and it rests with me to overcome finally. I have been much troubled in all my efforts hitherto by two things; first, inability to concentrate; and, second, and perhaps for that reason, that I have failed to make live and actual my conception of God and His abiding place within me and so my “treatments” became mere words to me, for all my earnest desire. But I think your method of imagery, if I understand aright, is not dependent on the use of formulas, or at least one comes to use one’s own words. Professor Northrup, in his article in January, says; “Put yourself in touch with God” when asking anything, and that is where I stick—I don’t realize any connection. For meditation I seem to have very little time, as my evenings are almost always subject to interruption, and my days spent at business. I shall try to follow your directions during my hour’s ride to and from the city, and at all other times when I can happen to catch myself in the custom paths of limitation thought. There is another thought that bothers also, and that is; How do we know that “Desire is the thing itself,” or that God is more anxious for us to have than we are to receive? This is one of my worst stumbling blocks, so long do the effects of orthodox teachings cling to one—that our afflictions are sent to chasten us, and that certain disagreeable conditions we are placed in, are for our good, the strengthening of our characters, etc., no matter how useless and trying they seem to us. You see I am taking advantage of your generous invitation to ask any questions. If I could only tell you how much I appreciate your giving me this glorious hope, and the time and trouble you have taken to make the way clear, which you surely did! It is proof of the existence of that all too rare thing, Christ-Christianity, and I am so glad, so glad I wrote you. Be sure my love and grateful thoughts will attend you, and your letter I shall keep by me to read and reread and practice. Thanking you from my heart, I am a loving ‘friend,

F.E. B.

LETTER ONE

A lesson in proving the Law of Supply

Dear Friend:

YOU say the law of supply is one of the laws you desire to learn. What you really mean is that you desire to prove the one great Law as your supply. Well, I gave you an opportunity to prove it in my last letter and you refused to see. Why is it so hard to comprehend, when it is so simple? You cannot expect a flow of oil or increase of meal until you begin to use; you cannot pour water from a pitcher until you take the pitcher in hand and begin to pour. Herein is one of the mighty occult truths I promised to give when you had complied with my terms. I do not need your money, but I do need your faith in me in order to be of assistance to you, and as you are a strong personality I felt the current of doubt and distrust that was sent out with your letter, and got, through telepathy, the very thought sent out with it. That which comes to me from this work I use in spreading Truth. You have first to learn the very first principles of faith before you can possibly demonstrate great or “many things.” Jesus would or could not help his own people because of their unbelief and never helped any one without abundant proof of their faith in him. We all draw to us, through the law of attraction, all the good and all the error that we experience. When I learned this to be infallible, I gloried in spending my last dime for a luxury. Why? Because I would not allow myself to believe that I needed it for a necessity, since I am heir to all wealth. The first time I did this, I went home and found a letter with money enclosed as payment for something purchased of me some time before. “Before you call, I will answer,” and every time I proved this Law I received full measure pressed down and running over.

Money is not wealth, but the symbol only of inexhaustible wealth that will never begin to flow for us until we begin to prove, and when we have proven, stand fast in the faith. For “let not him that wavereth, expect anything of the Law,” says Paul. As long as we limit and fear to use the symbol of wealth, how can the real substance flow? For just as surely as we pinch and hold the symbol, just so surely do we hold the flow of the unseen (though not invisible) supply, which explains the saying that “without faith it is impossible to please God,” because Good cannot flow as supply when we ourselves are holding it back with a taut rein. Let us cease insulting our Good by hugging our rags and tatters of doubt and fear so closely about us, and begin to act and live as becomes our royal estate. We have no respect for the miser who clothes himself in rags and lives on a crust. How do many of us differ from him?
