An electric switch is an essential device that is used to control the flow of electricity in a circuit. It is a simple yet effective mechanism that allows users to turn on or off electrical devices by completing or interrupting the electric circuit. The switch consists of a conducting material, usually a metal, which is connected to the circuit. This conducting material is fixed to a handle or lever, which can be moved or toggled by the user. When the lever is in the "on" position, the conducting material completes the circuit, allowing the flow of electricity and enabling the device to work. Conversely, when the lever is switched to the "off" position, the conducting material is disconnected from the circuit, cutting off the flow of electricity and effectively turning off the device.
Conversely, when the lever is switched to the "off" position, the conducting material is disconnected from the circuit, cutting off the flow of electricity and effectively turning off the device. Electric switches are commonly found in homes, offices, and industrial settings. They can be seen on walls as light switches, allowing users to turn lights on or off with a simple flick of a switch.
The Magic Path of Intuition by Florence Scovel Shinn
Florence Shovel Shinn wrote the manuscript for The Magic Path of Intuition sometime before her death in 1940, leaving it undiscovered until 2012. In her heyday, she was a respected New Thought leader and metaphysical writer, better known for The Game of Life and How to Play It.
Louise Hay, a leader of her own generation in New Thought, received the unpublished manuscript by chance and decided to publish it because Shinn’s work was so formative to her own—Hay is known for her own 1984 classic self-help book You Can Heal Your Life. Sadly, Hay passed away in 2017. (I was unaware until just now that Louise Hay was deceased. What a terrible loss for all those Hay has helped over the years…though she was 90.)

Though the verbatim, unedited text from Shinn at least 70 years old, it still holds relevance for today’s challenges—perhaps more than ever before. As our lives have become more virtual, digitally dispersed and curated, and interactions happen both face-to-face and through screens, it’s easy to become overstimulated, overwhelmed, and inadequate.
Defaulting to negativity, fear, anxiety, and resentment is too easy. I struggle with these feelings often, especially over the last twelve months, which has been a rough-and-tumble period on many fronts. A dear friend handed me The Magic Path of Intuition when it was clear to her I needed some spiritual help to settle my conscious mind and help focus and intend on positive things.

If you have ever felt hopeless, the gently authoritative tone of this book will immediately ease your frantic mind. It’s a short read, structured almost as a novelty booklet (brightly illustrated, thick pages, large font text, only 107 pages). I recommend you read it, whether or not you consider yourself a spiritualist.
What’s there to lose, if nothing happens? And if it helps, how worthwhile. For my own purposes and for your convenience, I have copied each of the affirmations into a bullet list, for quick reference.

There is much, much more wisdom and explanation in the full text of The Magic Path of Intuition, but a handy listing of all the affirmations is good for daily recital.
Shinn mixes terms like “the universe” and “God” and “divine plan” to refer to the nebulous influencer of our lives. Peeling back the social construction of church and religion, it’s clear the act of prayer, faith, and trust, whether in a universal force affected by planets, energy fields, and the mind power of humans, or in God are basically the same concept, with plenty of parallels.
While I have always felt fulfilled without an organized faith, these affirmations are a sort of faith I understand and am open to following.
Other mindful habits like yoga, meditation, and practicing gratitude, forgiveness, and kindness are things that make me happier and healthier, and ensure that I am improving the world with my existence rather than spouting anger and aggression, which the world has too much of already.

They are also used in appliances such as refrigerators, air conditioners, and televisions, giving users control over when these devices are powered on or off. In addition to their basic function of controlling electrical circuits, switches can also have advanced features. For example, some switches may have multiple positions or levels that allow users to adjust the output or intensity of electrical devices. Switches can also be equipped with timers or sensors, enabling them to automatically turn devices on or off based on predetermined schedules or environmental factors. Overall, electric switches are fundamental components of electrical systems, providing users with a convenient and safe way to control the flow of electricity in their surroundings..
