Laws

by

People who say that the Law of Attraction doesn’t work for them just don’t understand what a Law is.

This could be because we are so used to stretching or even breaking “human laws”.  I laugh every time I watch the movie Starman – this man from another world (there’s more to it than that but that will do for now) is learning to drive by watching the woman he kidnapped. So later he is driving and the woman gets upset because he was speeding up and going way too fast. She asked what he was doing and that that wasn’t how he was supposed to be doing it. He replied and said yes it was and that he watched her – “Green light – go through. Red light – stop. Yellow light – GO FASTER”. Isn’t that what we do? We see if we can “beat” the law but stay “sort of” within it.

So we don’t totally respect our own human laws. And that attitude and behavior carries over to the real laws. We think we don’t have to pay strict attention to them at all times. That’s often why the Law of Attraction “doesn’t work”.

It ALWAYS works but we don’t work with it ALL the time which is what we have to do.

Take the Law of  Gravity for example. It works no matter what. You can play with fire and test it all you want but it will win out.  You can pray and wish and hope that the $50,000 vase you dropped won’t break when it hits the floor but it probably will (that too is dependent on other laws of physics). But it WILL hit the floor and at a certain time (not necessarily giving you enough time to catch it). You can be angry that it broke but that won’t change the fact that the Law of Gravity and other laws of physics were operating.

When you’re trying to work with the Law of Attraction you have to realize that it’s in action and operating at every moment. You can’t say denials and affirmations for 3 minutes a day and then go and gossip and tell rumors and say negative things all day long and then expect to get what you were working toward. We see this all the time. Remember Anne’s story about how she’d say affirmations and meditate in the morning and then have  neighbors over for coffee and they’d sit and gossip for an hour or two. She realized then that she had to spend 2 hours negating what had just happened. This went on until she put a stop to the morning coffee.

Take a look at your life and see what you do, say and think all day long and then re-evaluate whether the Law of Attraction “works” for you or not. Most likely you are attracting what you don’t want to attract but it IS you who’s creating it.

Believe me it works!  Check out “The Art of Making Things Happen” if you want a home study course on how to make your life what you want it to be.

Don’t Doubt The Universe

by

I learned a very important lesson this morning. I’ve started swimming again (yeah!) and have been using Anne’s famous affirmation (adopted to swimming) “There is always a swimming lane available for me”. Now I’ve only been using this for about a week so I thought “well I hope this has had time to take efffect” as I drove to the gym a bit later than I wanted this a.m.

As I walked through the pool area to the locker room, my heart sunk. All the lanes were full. “Nuts, I guess my affirmation didn’t work” I thought as I continued to go change anyway.

When I walked back out to the pool area, you cannot even imagine my surprise  when I found that not only was there now an open lane but it was also the one I wanted! How cool is that?

The reason I had specified the lane was because I knew at 8:30 they had water aerobics and they made people move from the first few lanes and this a.m. I had said “I will have the far lane” as I drove there (actually I started when I was still in bed). And that’s the one that got freed up while I was simply taking off my shorts and sweatshirt.

Don’t ever doubt or second guess the Universe!

Once you have decided what you want and put it out there, it is yours as long as you keep your faith on the straight and narrow path and do not deviate!

Enjoy your day. I know I’m ecstatic that our new site is working!

You Can’t Beat Spiritual Law

by

The Law is that what you give out comes back to you multiplied.

Then the way to success of any kind, is to begin giving out what you want to have come back. If you have no money, find something else to give. Money is the mere symbol of service, and you can always give service of some kind.

Give something knowing that God is your paymaster and that He is the best of all paymasters. He will begin paying you when you begin working exclusively for Him. God always gives signs of approval. God will give because its is His nature to give. He, too, conforms to the law, because He is the Law. Remember that we are working with real law all the time. If you obey the law of giving, you cannot help but receiving.

Learn by heart what Jesus says: “Give, and it shall be given uno you.”
Repeat it, and repeat it, and believe it.

Trust. Believe that the law is going to work. It is; because when we are really willing to do our share, the law, never fails to work.

Let us apply the principle. If you want a job, begin giving service somewhere along that line. God will direct your paths. If you do not know what vocation you should be in, give your services along any line, and your particular line will open to you.

“Whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.” So you will find everything that your heart desires: health, money, friends, success, the development of your tal-ents, home, prosperity, love, happiness. For God, is Law. He gives, gives lavishly, patiently, joyously. Imitate God.

All that you give out brings its return. These are your planting: deeds, money, words, thoughts-everything. You can’t beat Spiritual Law.

Applied Psychology

This is from Napoleon Hill’s Golden Rule but it is so pertinent to us. Pay attention here….

The human mind is an intricate affair.  One of its characteristics is the fact that all impressions that reach the subconscious portion of the mind are recorded in groups which harmonize and which are apparently closely related. 

When one of these impressions is called into the conscious mind, there is a tendency to recall all of the others with it.

One single act or word that causes a feeling of doubt to arise in a person’s mind is sufficient to call into his conscious mind all of the experiences which caused him or her to be doubtful.  Through the law of association, all similar emotions, experiences or sense impressions which reach the mind are recorded together so that the recalling of one has a tendency to bring out the others.

Just as a small pebble will, when thrown in to the water, start a chain of ripples that will multiply rapidly, the subconscious mind has a tendency to bring into consciousness all of the associated or closely related emotions or sense impressions which it has stored when one of them is aroused.  To arouse a feeling of doubt in a person’s mind has a tendency to bring to the surface every doubt-building experience that person ever had.

That is why successful salespeople endeavor to keep away from subjects that may arouse the buyer’s “chain of doubt impressions.”  The able salesperson has long since learned that to “knock” a competitor may result in bringing to the buyer’s conscious mind certain negative emotions which may make it impossible for the salesperson to neutralize.

The principle applies to and controls every emotion and every sense impression that is lodged in the human mind.  Take the feeling of fear, for example.  The moment we permit one single emotion that is related to fear to reach the conscious mind, it brings with it all of its unsavory relations.  A feeling of courage cannot claim the attention of our conscious mind while a feeling of fear is there.  One must supplant the other.  They cannot become roommates because they do not harmonize.

Since every thought held in the conscious mind has a tendency to draw to it every other harmonious or related thought, the feelings, thoughts and emotions which claim the attention of the conscious mind are backed by a regular army of supporting soldiers who stand ready to aid them in their work.

If you place in your mind, through the principle of suggestion, the ambition to succeed in any undertaking, you will see that your latent ability is aroused and your powers automatically increased.  Positive thoughts attract other positive thoughts and give you the confidence to overcome failure and achieve success.  If you neutralize your negative thoughts, replace them with their positive equivalent and reinforce them through the power of suggestion, you can reach any goal you set for yourself.

No one ever becomes a “doer” without first becoming a “dreamer.” The architect first draws the picture of a building in his mind and then places it on paper. And so we must all see the object of our labors in our minds before we can see them in reality.

Source: Excerpt from the February 1919 issue of Napoleon Hill’s Golden Rule.

How does this apply to your everyday life. I know it hit home for me.

What do you think? I bet most of you can apply it in a negative way but can you call forth a way this has affected you positively?

Take positive action: Write them down. Then start dreaming yourself!

What Are You Giving Life To?

What Are You Giving Life To?

Do you really understand that you are where you are because you created the life you have? I know that’s hard for many people to accept but you have the power, you have the control and you have the ability to create things.

Since you have this power, why not harness the power in a positive way and produce what you want. “The Art of Making Things Happen” is your study guide, your handbook for creating everything you want.

Scientists tell us that everything, visible and invisible, is energy. This energy permeates the Universe. We can clearly see this in our physical world where everything has a molecular structure of basic elements.

The closer we come to understanding the Universe, the better we understand its oneness. The energy that permeates the Universe is called “Substance.” It is the foundation of all existing things. It contains the seeds, ideas, wisdom and intelligence that inspire and stimulate us to think, desire, dream, have faith and make things happen.

All things are created from and are comprised of this Substance. This energy works in and through the minds of human beings. When we ask for ideas, we receive the wisdom, understanding and inspiration we want. As we imagine and picture our goals and desires, we mold the Substance of the Universe to that thing we have chosen.

Our thoughts, beliefs, words and actions mold the invisible Substance into its visible form. The invisible Substance or energy molds itself to our choices and beliefs, and then presents itself into our visible world.

One of the first things you learn in Metaphysics is that we are life-giving, spiritual beings. You give life by thinking, feeling and believing. You give life knowingly and unknowingly. You become the qualities you give life to.

You give life to praise and appreciation. You give life by condemnation and criticism. Even unwelcome conditions would not have come about if life had not been given to them. Whatever you think and feel strongly about, believe in and react to is what receives life.

It can be something you want, just as well as something you don’t want. Fear gives life to and strengthens that which you fear. Hatred gives life to and strengthens the nature of the person or character of the thing hated. Anger gives life to and strengthens the individual to whom you direct your anger.

When you give life through love, praise, appreciation and happy attitudes, you reap a harvest of blessings. When you give life through anger, worry and criticism, you reap a harvest of misery.

Even more importantly, by giving life to the negative qualities in another person or situation through criticism, anger or condemnation, those qualities are strengthened in them. You also strengthen those qualities within yourself.

When you know how energy lives, you have no excuse for not having everything you want. You have no excuse for not being happy.

Whatever you give life to is manifested in our world. If there is something you would rather not have, you can stop giving it energy by taking your mind off of it. You give life to anything you choose.
