Are
there any laws governing the Universe?
Yes, but not
in the sense that a lawmaker has devised a law. Laws exist which
are natural laws, similar to the Laws of Physics that your
scientists recognise. The primary law is the Law of Love; all
things exist within this law and are created out of it. Love is
the total and complete acceptance of what is. Love allows. Love is
about allowing yourself to be who and what you are and allowing
that same right to all others. Without the Law of Love, free will
could not exist, for free will is free will. It cannot and does
not come in portions, for you either have it or you do not have
it. The Universe is a place of creation; it is a place of
experience. And you have come to this world by choice to
experience yourself just as you have done in many other worlds and
will do again in many other worlds after this one, whether they be
physical or non-physical. As a creator through experience, you
have complete free will to create what you wish, and you create
through the process of magnetism, the process of attraction, which
is the second law, the Law of Attraction, or the Law of Increase,
whichever term communicates this concept to you more strongly.
The Law of Attraction
states that all that is like unto itself will be drawn to it. In
other words, all things similar in nature will naturally gravitate
to one another and magnetise one another into their own field.
This applies to all things in the Universe; it applies to thought.
All energy, and thought is energy, is magnetic to those things
with a similar vibration.
“The Law of
Attraction states that all that is like
unto itself will be drawn to it.”
It is through the
utilisation of this law that you have come forth into this and
many other worlds in order to experience yourself. For as you
experience your world unfolding around you, you are experiencing
yourself, for your world unfolds in accordance with your thinking.
Quite literally, what you think is what you get, and what you
think is what you are. So many of you are so convinced that life
just happens to you and that things impose themselves upon you
that you have built whole societies and cultures upon this
premise. As you are the centre of your Universe, you are the
creator of it, not of some of it, not of most of it, but all of
it.
See the Universe as
being a large hollow sphere. It does not matter where you stand on
the surface of this sphere, you will always be at its centre, and
so it is with you. All emanates from you, for you are a magnet,
drawing experience unto yourself so that you may know yourself in
this particular experience. This is why it generally takes the
average human being several lifetimes, even hundreds of lifetimes,
to master this game called Earth. The reality that you have
created for yourself is so convincing that it appears that there
is nothing else and that you are merely a collection of gases,
chemicals, and water drawn together to form a planet and your
physical apparatus, your body. However, I would offer to you that
even the body you have created, every last cell, every contour,
every hair, is an expression of who you are, an expression of your
consciousness.
The Law of Attraction
does not simply disappear in the physical world; it is as active
there as anywhere else in the Universe. At another time we will
offer ways for you to consciously utilise this law.
What
is Karma? How does it work? Many have told us that we suffer or
pay back in this lifetime for what we did in a past last time.
This belief in
Karma could not be further from the truth. It is not a law
designed to punish you or to bring you into balance as some may
have suggested, but it is merely the Law of Attraction expressed
in different terms and interpreted through religious structures
that for many millennia have been based on the concept of
redemption.
Many teach that, if
you abused your wealth in one lifetime, you will be poor in this
one, or if you murdered in your last lifetime, you will suffer in
this one. This is only true if you don’t change your mind! What
we mean is: The Universe springs forth from thought, and all
action is preceded by thought. It is a thought that has led one to
steal, abuse, or murder. So what are the thoughts of the robber?
Clearly this individual does not understand the Law of Attraction,
does not understand that he or she is God, does not understand the
infinite love of God, and does not believe in his or her own
ability to create wealth.
Your experience on
Earth is not one lifetime after the next, it is one total physical
experience and it is one physical experience that has many forms.
Therefore, if you hold the belief in one lifetime that you are
unable to create wealth, or are not worthy of wealth, and this
belief is strong enough to motivate you to steal, then it is this
belief that will follow you into the next episode of physical
experience. It is not the deed that draws karma to you; it is the
belief that led to the deed, and the thought behind the deed. As
you re-enter this current life experience, you are automatically
drawn to those parents who are magnetically attracted to you; you
are drawn to them through the process of resonance. You will be
drawn to parents who share similar beliefs and experiences concerning
wealth, therefore setting up a similar pattern, until you decide
that this no longer serves you.
However, you may make
an agreement with the soul whom you robbed that you will share an
experience in an upcoming life. If, however, you change your
thinking, and therefore your vibration and your magnetic
attraction, it is highly unlikely that you will meet this soul, or
if you do, that there will be an interaction between the two of
you similar to the past life experience. In saying this, what we
want to communicate to you most of all is that all the answers you
seek concerning yourself are to be found in this lifetime
experience, with very few exceptions. We say this, for your
beliefs are in the present; you hold onto them in this current
time and space. Change your beliefs, and you will change your
karma!
“Change
your beliefs, and you will change your karma!”
No one is obliged to
suffer hardship for anything. And as difficult as it may be for
many of you to hear this, there is no punishment, no judgement, no
failure, no negative karma. There is only experience. In the
highest sense, there is no right and wrong, nothing that can turn
away the magnificence of God’s love for you.
There
is no judgement?
No, not in the
sense that most of you think of judgement. Yes, you have teachers
and advisors who guide you in making choices based upon your last
lifetime. But they are not there to discipline you or to point out
your faults. You decide what you are happy with, you decide what
you want to create next, no one else. You are in charge. Their
role is to assist you in seeing a greater vision of yourself. Part
of our being has been present on what has been called the
afterlife, or the astral plane, as teacher and guide to those who
are offering guidance to you while you are in both the physical
and in the non-physical states. Our experience tells us that
humanity’s belief in its inferiority is so strong that it has
also become part of the consciousness of the Astral Plane. Meaning
that the Astral Plane of reality that ‘surrounds’ the Earth is
a reflection of the evolution of your entire species. Therefore,
those beings who enter the Astral plane at lower vibrational
levels make choices concerning future lives that are
‘unnecessary’ in terms of hardship, for there is still a very
strong belief that suffering is necessary to reach a higher
spiritual goal.
Are
there any other rules that apply in the Universe?
The Law of
Love and the Law of Attraction are the primary laws that govern
all worlds, physical and non-physical. What we would offer also
are principles. A principle tells of the nature of things, an
action or a flowing of energy, more of a state of being.
The principles that we
offer are the Four Principles of Creation, principles that express
the very nature of God and of who you are: Love, Health and
Well-Being, Abundance, and Creativity.
Universal Laws do not
‘govern’ you, for there is no external consciousness that has
decided that you must adhere to such laws. Rather there are
universal principles, somewhat like the laws of physics, that
describe the nature of the Universe. The ‘laws’ in themselves
are a description of the nature of things.
The primary Law is the
Law of Love; all things that exist rest on this law. It is not
that love is an action, for it is also a state of being, it is
also a description of the nature of things, and it is a
description of the Universe, of All-That-Is. This word, love, has
been misinterpreted by many, and misunderstood by all of you at
times. We would define love as the complete and total acceptance
of what is; we would describe love as “allowing”.
“We would define
love as the complete and total acceptance of what is.”
The Universe is one
vast consciousness that has subdivided itself into smaller units,
and further into even smaller units. This subdivision has been for
the purpose of the creation of experience, for it is through
experience that the whole begins to experience itself. If you are
a point of light in the centre of everything that is also a vast
nothingness, you cannot know who you are unless you can view
yourself from outside of yourself. Then, as you gain that
perspective, you then truly learn who you are through experiencing
yourself as All-That-Is whilst holding onto the experience of
being singular. In order for the Universe to grow through
experience, ‘allowing’ or love must be in place, for there
cannot be any limitation to the experience. For you to experience
what you are, it is also necessary for you to experience what you
are not. This comparison pushes you forward, for comparison is one
of the most efficient ways to assist you in deciding what you
want. This comparison leads to desire, and desire is the mother of
creation, for without desire, nothing would come into existence.
“Free will is the
natural result of love.”
You are beings of
absolute and total free will. Free will is the natural result of
love, for love is the total and complete acceptance of what is. As
love is the very nature of the All-That-Is, it is also your
deepest desire, for it acts like a magnet upon your personality.
All that is not love is not natural to whom you are, and all
things seek to operate according to the natural laws of the
Universe. Your physical reality was created so that you may
experience that which you are not. In experiencing that which you
are not, you began to experience that which is not love, that
which is not acceptance, that which does not allow. As a soul you
began to focus yourself more deeply into the physical world; you
began to associate yourself more fully and completely with
physical existence. This has led you to believe that the physical
you is the total you, and that this you which you know will die
along with the demise of your body.
The body seemed frail
and vulnerable, and initially you sought to protect the body from
the elements, from cold and from heat. As you observed the animals
defending their physical selves against predators, you too began
to see your own body as weak and something that needed protection
from predators. And so it went on, until you began to see others
of your own kind as potential threats, and so the lack of
‘allowing’ firmly rooted itself in your psyche. This was the
birth of the lack of love.
The comparison drama
was in place so that you could experience love, which is total
allowing, as you were drawn like magnets towards it. For love is
the very nature of who you are, and even though the personality
self has developed so strongly that it thinks it is the real you,
it cannot dominate and prevail forever, for nothing can deny its
true nature forever. Love is like a magnet, it draws you towards
it, and it grows within you.
“Love
is like a magnet;
it draws you towards it,
and it grows within you.”
As you look back at
human history, you can observe that you have been gradually moving
towards greater levels of allowing. This movement has become
increasingly more apparent in the past 100 years and the momentum
of this directional move is increasing exponentially with each
passing decade.
Embedded in each of
you is something we can best describe as an atom. This atom holds
within it your will to love. You have this will to love, for that
is the very nature of the Universe. Love is the prime quality of
universal consciousness, so there is not a consciousness that does
not have this atom. Your will to love draws you automatically
towards the state of love, of allowing. You cannot deny this will
to love, you cannot resist it and you cannot flee from it,
although you can pretend that you don’t have it, and indeed act
as if it were not there. You may even fully experience a reality
or a range of feelings that may seem to be devoid of love. This
atom, however faint it may appear, is within you, and is magnetic
to the greater expression of love, universal love, the love of
God. It is this will to love that draws you forward in your
development; it is what stimulates you to growth through your many
incarnations, and from one cycle to another.
This is the game of
the Universe; you have decided that you want to experience many
different ways of going home to love, of returning to love. This
is why you embark upon new cycles and new adventures. Just as you
have had many lives on planet Earth, you have completed this
entire cycle from ‘lovelessness’ to unconditional love in many
forms, on many worlds, each one adding to your experience and
knowledge of total and complete love. The Universe seeks to
experience itself in love in all its forms. In order to do this,
the Universe holds within it the experience of “not love”, the
experience of darkness, the experience of separation, all for the
sake of love.
With this atom within
you, it does not matter how far into the ‘darkness’ you go,
you will always eventually be drawn home to love. This is a given,
it is not any other way, and cannot be any other way. As love is
the very nature of God, and as all exists within the mind and
being of God, then all within it is of God, and therefore is of
love. This is the highest truth. All is love. All action, all
beings, all things are love, for that is the foundation of all
creation.
“This is the
highest truth. All is love. All action, all beings, all things are
love, for that is the foundation of all creation.”
Tell us more about
the Four Principles of Creation and how we can align ourselves
with them?
The Four
Principles of Creation are a description of your Divine nature;
they are who you are. They are summarized thus:
Love:
Love is your greatest longing. You seek to accept and allow. The
Universe, or that unifying field of consciousness that you have
come to call God, is a benevolent place that operates with
equality and fairness, and operates according to universal laws.
Love is the complete and total acceptance of what is: it is
allowing—allowing all others to be who they are, and allowing
yourself to be who you are. You are a being of free will, and as
such, you are held in a place of total acceptance and allowing.
You are dearly loved! By beginning to know that you are loved and
accepted beyond all measure, you can begin to master the Universal
Laws to create the life you want.
Health
and Well-being: Health
and well-being are your natural states of being. Illness and
disease are the result of mass beliefs, or individual beliefs, and
the resulting fears that block emotional flow. The original fear
that humans carry deep within is the fear that they are separated
from their Source and are ultimately alone. Through understanding
that your fears are simply that, fears, not reality, you can free
yourself from the original cause of illness and disease.
Abundance:
Part of your life’s
purpose is to move beyond lack, scarcity, and limitation. Although
the experience of lack can be valuable in terms of learning
certain lessons at certain times, it is not required as a learning
tool. Poverty, lack, and scarcity stem directly from your primal
fear, the fear that you are separated from your Source. You are
the source of your own abundance. Through uncovering your beliefs
concerning lack and scarcity, you can begin to create abundance in
every area of your life, including financial freedom.
Creativity:
Creativity is at the very core of each soul, each person. You are
driven to create experience. Creativity is also part of your
service to the greater whole. As you create, you discover more of
who you are through observing your creation. It is the very nature
of the soul to be creative, but many of you have forgotten your
creativity by believing that the ways in which you can express
yourselves are limited to certain jobs, roles, and functions in
life.
The Four
Principles of Creation describe in essence who you are. They
cannot be gained, earned, or awarded to you. They are the
governing principles of all life. It is for you to remember that
this is who you truly are. Each one of you desires these things,
desires to express yourself in these ways, to live a life filled
with love, to experience health and well-being, and abundance, and
to create freely. Your soul’s purpose, in choosing to come into
the physical mode, was to manifest itself through you in harmony
with the four principles.
As a non-physical
being, you exist in perfect harmony with these four principles.
You are a vast being, a being of vast consciousness. You are
already a master of many dimensions, of many realities. Beyond the
physical world, the energies are lighter, more malleable, of a
higher frequency. As you adventured into consciousness, building
different worlds for yourself, you developed and mastered many
skills. The non-physical world from which you originated is devoid
of fear. That does not mean that fear does not exist in the
non-physical, for certainly it does. But beyond the astral plane,
there are many planes of light. In these planes of light you have
existed forever. In these realms of light, you discovered and
played with your creative abilities. You played with colour, with
vibration, creating many forms and scenarios in which to discover
yourself. You are creator, and it is through that which you create
that you learn to know yourself.
As you are such
action-oriented beings, we seek to offer you tools that can
enhance the emergence of these principles in your life. The tools
are Self-Appreciation, Allowing, Gratitude, and Forgiveness. Each
tool has equal importance; no one tool is more important that the
other. To assist you in remembering who you truly are, we
encourage you to begin the daily conscious practice of these
qualities, meditating upon them, writing things down. When you
write things down, you bring into form a thought or an idea. This
is the first step in manifesting the subject of your attention,
making it real for you.
The
Four Keys to Happiness
Self
Appreciation: Enhances
your ability to create through the acknowledgment of your gifts.
Allowing:
Is the key to living a
life full of love.
Gratitude:
Makes you magnetic to
abundance. What you focus on, increases.
Forgiveness:
Leads to health and
well-being. If you are unwell, there is always something to
forgive. Forgiveness is remembering the truth of who you are.
Can
you tell us more about the Law of Attraction?
We have
already shared with you that you are the physical extension of a
non-physical being, and as such you are tapped into the same pure
God force energy that creates worlds. The Four Principles of
Creation are qualities that are a part of you, but at the same
time they are qualities that you inherently strive towards. The
reason for your striving is that you have forgotten that you are a
soul having a human experience, and instead hold the illusion that
you are only the you that you experience on the Earth plane. The
greater part of yourself, your Inner Being, your soul, has
prescribed an intention to master Earth life. Mastering the Earth
experience entails moving beyond fear and living an abundant life
of great joy.
Thought is the basis
of all creation. Everything was thought into existence. Even those
physical things made by others were first born in thought before
they became matter. The fourth principle is the principle of
creativity. You are the creator of your experience, and it is your
thinking that creates how you experience life. Energy follows
thought, and matter is energy condensed. Therefore, everything in
the world of matter is a result of thought. Your entire world, the
world you see as being real and very alive, is energy that has
been condensed into form by thought. It is as real as you wish to
make it. Collectively, humanity and others species have created
this reality, this dimension of existence, in order to create
another unique experience. This is the experience you call Earth.
Each and every one of you has the power to create whatever it is
that you are wanting through what you are thinking. All energy
follows thought, and as matter is energy, it too will follow
thought. The speed at which things follow thought on the Earth
plane depends on your focus, skill, and practice. It does not
matter how many negative thoughts you may have had in the past; it
is the thoughts you are thinking right now that have the power.
The Law of Attraction
states that everything draws to itself that which is like itself.
In other words, all things draw to themselves that which is
similar or identical. Energies of a similar nature will always be
drawn towards each other; that is the principle of magnetism. All
thought attracts, and thoughts attract other thoughts of a similar
nature until they begin to compound and gather momentum,
eventually leading to the manifestation of something very
‘real’ in your experience.
You are using the Law
of Attraction all of the time. There is not one moment when you
are not using this law. It does not need for you to be conscious
of it in order for you to experience its results. Every
experience, every object, every person in your life is present in
your life because you have drawn them into your experience. There
are no exceptions to this rule, no chance meetings, no
coincidences, no accidents, no divine intervention, no external
forces stopping you from having what you want, and no one
rewarding you. Your experience is all created by you, you are
responsible for all of it, not just some of it, or most of it, but
all of it. We hear you say, “But I did not want this
circumstance to come into my life.” And we would agree that
there are many things that you would indeed not purposefully
invite into your life. Once you come to understand the Law of
Attraction, you will begin to understand that whatever you direct
your attention to is invited into your experience. You will also
begin to know that there is no difference between negative
attention and positive attention.
Your intention is
sufficient to create, attract, and invite. Once you realise this
law, you can choose to react in one of two ways. You can either
see yourself as a victim of your own limited and fearful thinking,
or you can celebrate the knowledge that you can have whatever you
want and that you indeed have all the power you need to create it.
This knowledge is a great source of freedom, for you no longer
need to look outside yourself for that which you desire. No longer
do you need to seek permission, either consciously or
subconsciously, because knowing that the four principles are part
of who you are, you can surely know that there is no higher
authority in your life than you. You are it! The buck stops with
you. In fact, it begins there, too. You are the sculptor, and your
life is your sculpture. You are the artist, and your life is your
canvas. You are the playwright, and your life is your script. So
what scene are you going to write for yourself next?
Everything you have in
your life can be traced back to an idea or belief. This applies
equally to those things you consider to be positive and those you
consider to be negative. In truth, there is no positive or
negative, right or wrong, good or bad. There is only experience.
Your primary motivation for coming to this planet was to master
the experience of life on Earth. Therefore, all experience is
valid. It is your interpretation of the experience that makes for
happiness, or otherwise. You can choose to see yourself as a
victim of circumstances or you can choose to reframe the negative
into the positive and learn from your creations. As you begin to
learn from your creations, you begin to define more clearly what
you want, and as you do this, you begin to focus more clearly on
your goals and desires. Then that which you long for begins to
come into your life much more rapidly, because your attention has
shifted away from that which you do not want towards that which
you do want.
Thoughts are energy,
and like all energy, attract similar energies unto themselves.
This is the principle of resonance. That which you think of has a
corresponding resonance, or energy match, with many objects and
circumstances. As the entire Universe is energy, including the
matter that makes up this book, this principle applies to
circumstances, material objects, and people. Your unique way of
viewing the world will affect the way in which you experience it
as well as affecting the things and people that manifest in your
life. For example, if you consider money to be a great source of
freedom and you feel very free to express yourself, free to be who
you are, then you will automatically draw more money into your
experience because there is a vibrational match between the
object, in this case money, and what you think and believe.
To understand this law
more fully, you need to understand that the creative energy that
is at your infinite disposal is completely neutral. We have said
that you are the physical extension of a non-physical being, and
that being, rather than being a raindrop that has sprung forth
from the rain cloud of God, is an extension of All-That-Is that
has projected itself into physical reality. As this extension, you
are tapped into the unlimited source of life force energy, the
same energy that created the physical Universe in which you have
placed yourself, the same energy that is used to create all that
you see in your reality. This energy could not be anything other
than neutral because it allows itself to be formed and moulded by
your thoughts. As this energy is neutral and because it is moulded
by your thoughts, it does not know the difference between what you
want and what you do not want. Because you have been given free
will and you exist in a Universe of free will and choice, this
energy, which is the All-That-Is, can only, and will only, be
formed by what you are thinking. So when you want to attract
something into your life and you do nothing but think of the lack
of that thing, then the Universe can do nothing but bring you more
of what you are thinking, more lack of the very thing that you say
that you want. The Universe does not judge whether or not what you
want is good or bad; it simply is, and it responds to your every
thought, to your every whim. This life force energy does not
understand the difference between ‘want’ and ‘don’t
want’. It only follows and supports thought. Energy follows
thought, not the other way around. So as your thoughts are focused
on what you fear, or things you do not want, or are displeasing to
you, the ever faithful life force energy of the Universe, that
very same energy that creates worlds, accurately follows your
thoughts to bring into your experience that to which you have
directed your attention.
Understanding this,
you will begin to see that each thing you can think of is rather
like a coin. It has two sides. On the one side you have the having
of the thing, and on the other side you have the not having of the
thing. As far as Life Force Energy is concerned, there is no
difference between having cancer and not having cancer. There is
no difference between having money and not having money, love and
not love, etc.
Money is a great
example to illustrate this point. With modern banking and
computers, you calculate the amount of your money and your
experience in having money in more ways than just the amount of
currency notes and coins in your wallet. Your money has largely
become a set of figures. Your employers transfer money directly
into your bank account or your clients give you a cheque. All
these things are still money, but not the currency itself, they
are simply things that represent the currency. When you receive
your bank statement, it can come in two forms; it can have a
positive balance or a negative balance. If you have a negative
balance and you now owe the bank £1,000, it is still money, is it
not? You simply have a balance of ‘not £1,000’. This example
makes it easier to grasp this universal experience, because most
of you see an empty wallet as simply being empty; “there is no
money”. But having a bank account ‘in the red’ illustrates
that not only does money exist, but ‘no money’ exists as well,
and that both things are still money.
So when you do your
thinking and imagining, align your thinking in accordance with
what you want to draw into your life. If you focus on the lack of
anything, anything at all, you will get it. If you fear ill
health, you will attract ill health. If you fear loneliness, you
will attract loneliness. The Universe is not only totally
equitable, it does not judge or make decisions on your behalf. You
are in charge, you are the boss, the king pin, the ruler of your
own experience, and the Universe cannot, and will not, do anything
contrary to that unalterable fact.
Without this neutral
response from the Universe you would not have true free will. So
which is it? Do you have free will or do you not? It cannot be
both. You cannot be both the creator of your destiny and
simultaneously subject to the will of another. The one defies the
other. Free will is the basis upon which there is growth,
evolution, and experience in the Universe. Without it, all future
would be predetermined and every soul would merely be a puppet in
a grand theatre. It is our intention to help you know that you may
have what you want, and do what you want, and be who you want to
be. You have extended yourself into physical reality not to prove
yourself worthy of a higher authority, but to add to your
uniqueness and beingness through the experience of creating in
this reality.
On the Earth plane,
because matter is dense, and the vibrational rate of energy is
somewhat slower, you experience that things come to you in a way
that seems delayed. Most people, just as they have launched a new
thought about what they want, within a few days begin to think
about something different. The Universe responds to you instantly,
yes, instantly, and as you think about what you want, it begins to
immediately bring it to you. However, it seems that the majority
of you change your mind on a regular basis, so the Universe
receives as many order cancellations as it does orders!
The main reason, in
fact, just about the only reason that your desires do not manifest
instantly when you want them to, even as you think about them, is
because of the other thoughts you are also offering. It all comes
down to the balance of your thinking. The Life Force Energy cannot
do anything but follow the thoughts you are having. Offer a
thought concerning the lack of money, and that is what you will
get. Offer a thought concerning an abundance of money, and that is
what you will get. The same applies to love, health, and every
aspect of your life. So when you look at your life and you see a
lack of love or experience a lack of money or experience a lack of
health, it has been the balance of your thinking concerning those
subjects that has created the current circumstances. If it is love
that you want more of, then your life will reflect that want
accurately and proportionately according to the balance of your
thinking.
So if your thoughts
have been more towards the ‘not having’ of the thing you want,
then that is what you will get. If your thoughts have been more
towards the ‘having’ side of what you want, then that is what
you will get. Each circumstance in your life accurately reflects
the balance of your thinking. It cannot be any other way, for
without this accurate command of Life Force Energy, you would not
have free will. And as you are a being of free will, the very
creative powers that you assign to God are at your fingertips. It
is merely a question of adjusting the balance of your thinking
towards the ‘having’ of what you want and you will have it. As
you think more and more in terms of having, you will tip the
balance of your energy into the ‘having’ state, and away from
the ‘not having’ or lacking state.
As this happens, the
Law of Attraction begins to work for you repeatedly. As you arrive
at a greater state of ‘having’, you will begin to attract more
of this experience to yourself, and the more you attract, the more
you will attract, and so on and so on, until you move away from
the experience of scarcity altogether. You then begin to realise
through your experience that you are indeed God, that you are
indeed creator, and that you do indeed have the command of the
Universe at your fingertips, and that nothing can stop you from
having what you want except your very own thoughts on the subject.
As you think, so it is. It cannot be any other way; it is law.
Forgiveness
seems so difficult for many of us. What do we need to understand
about it in order to make it easier?
Forgiveness is
remembering the truth of who you really are. The act of
forgiveness is not about saying that what the other person did or
said is OK. It is truly about remembering who you are. So many of
you put so much energy into resisting the things that you do not
want, you forget that you are indeed creator. There is nothing
outside yourself that can exert itself against you. Everything
that is in your experience is there because you have directed
attention to it. If you remember the times when you have been
hurt, and you remember and talk about that hurt, then more of the
same pain will be delivered to you. If you remember betrayal, then
more will be delivered to you. If you remember abandonment, then
more will be delivered to you.
That which you think
creates your experience of life. Yes, we hear you when you say,
“But I was hurt, I was abandoned, and I was betrayed. How can I
deny that?” And we say to you that you are creator and once you
acknowledge that you drew these experiences to yourself, then you
can also know that you have the undeniable power to draw new, more
fulfilling, joyful experiences to yourself. For as you think, so
you experience. Think about failure, it will be yours. Think about
pain, it will be yours. Think about betrayal, and it will be
yours.
When you are unable to
forgive another, what you are doing is denying your own power,
your own power as creator, and handing it over to that person.
What you are saying is that you are subject to the will of
another, to the actions and words of another, and that you have no
will of your own. In reality, you are a powerful being, an eternal
soul who has been given the free will and unlimited power to
create what you want.
When you are unable to
forgive, it means that you have denied the truth of who you really
are. It is not those who have acted against you who have changed
the truth of who you are. You have allowed their actions to tell
you that you are something other than a powerful child of the
divine.
Once you remember who
you truly are, then forgiveness will become second nature, for you
will truly understand that nothing can exert itself against you,
that the only things that come to you are those things that you
yourself have drawn in through your thinking. In knowing this, you
will also know that you have a choice—a choice as to how you are
going to think, what you are going to believe about yourself, a
choice whether or not you will love and accept and acknowledge
yourself.
Forgiveness is about
remembering who you are. If you have not forgiven, then you have
not remembered that you are loved beyond all measure.
