The Universal Law of Harmony - How to Tap Into The Peace of The Universal Energy!

The Universal Law of Harmony - How to Tap Into The Peace of The Universal Energy!
The universal law of harmony is a principal based on
unifying ourselves, with that of the world, the animals,
other people and our spirit. It's a natural law that's
grounded in love and respect for each other.

There are laws of man which have created imbalance in many
of our lives and this has been reflected into the world,
and our surroundings and are the cause of dis-harmony with
others and that of nature. You see we truly do manifest
into reality our most dominant thoughts, and through
focussing on competition, greed and selfishness we have
collectively created an imbalance in the world and the
universe.

But the good news is it can be reversed, and as we become
more aware, more educated and more in alignment with the
law of harmony the world will begin to improve in harmony
with our conscious thoughts of peace, love and unity.

The meaning of the word "harmony" can be defined as a state
of balance and equality, where separate units of energy
work together to form a state of oneness and peace.
Therefore if we work consciously to think and then act
harmoniously, we'll essentially decrease the conflicts,
discord, disharmony and disease in the world, because where
there is harmony there is no disharmony.

The only way we can begin rolling the ball of harmony in
the world is by thinking and living in harmony with
ourselves. It's realizing that absolutely everything
responds to love, tenderness and appreciation. To be in
harmony with ourselves, we must first love and appreciate
who we are, be tender and direct ourselves in kind. While
we may not like all the things we manifest, we do need to
love them and treat them with respect, because acting
otherwise and beating ourselves up over them would be
creating a disharmony in our lives.

This in turn creates disharmony in the energy around us and
everyone and everything else will be out of harmony also.
And it's in times like these that we need to slow down,
look, listen and learn from what we're projecting and begin
harmony within ourselves to bring balance back.

When we resist our creations we are indeed out of harmony
with the world. Because what we manifest from our thought
energy, into the realm of material actualization are the
outer conditions we need to face to learn and grow. Some of
the outer manifestations are not pleasant and it's
important to know that these creations aren't here to
punish us, but rather we tend to punish ourselves because
of them. The lessons to learn from such situations are that
in some way we've brought a disharmonious energy into our
lives and we ourselves are out of harmony.

Here are some areas that can be affected when we are not in
harmony:

1. Feelings - When these are out of harmony our solar
plexus can be affected.

2. Love - This can affect our heart area (our heart Chakra).

3. Understanding - If we don't understand something it can
affect our mind (our third eye Chakra).

So our physical self and circumstance are affected by
holding onto our own self-denials, and resistance and lack
of recognition. We are who we are and who we are needs no
excuses and requires no explanation.

It is possible to live in conjunction with the law of
harmony, and the way we do this is by practicing the law of
non-judgement which will help you be more intuitively and
inspirationally aware, we can then look realistically and
constructively at the situations we've created.

We just have to cease seeing our creations as being wrong
or as some form of punishment that is sent to us, and
rather as what they are, a neutral energy that has
manifested itself due to our existing thought patterns. The
reason why we resist and deny such manifestations in our
lives is because we don't want to see our deepest fears or
thoughts to manifest into reality, so we bury our heads in
the sand when they do and pass them off as "there's nothing
I could do about that."

If we could apply our own harmony into other peoples
worlds, in the form of applying a balanced, loving and
non-judgemental expression toward other peoples creation of
their world, instead of intensifying their imbalance
through pity, sympathy and empathy, then we have a far
better chance of balancing the world. If however we accept
the sometimes imbalanced actions of others into our world,
we'll only intensify their actions into your own world. So
our own self-harmony needs to be established first, and
only at that point can we begin to see clearly enough and
know how to heal, teach and show the way to a more balanced
and harmonious life for others.

Once you rejoin the one spirit, energy or God force that we
are all part of and not try to separate yourself from that,
harmony will live within you more and you'll then attract
and ignite harmony in the hearts of others, it all begins
inside of you first.

The Universal Law of It Matters Not - Gain Peace Through "Letting Go!"

The Universal Law of It Matters Not - Gain Peace Through "Letting Go!"
To truly utilize the law of it matters not, we need a very
thorough understanding of our own being. The secret to
adapting this natural law is by realizing that until we
truly accept and know ourselves, this law won't be
applicable to us.

The reason for us needing to know ourselves very deeply in
application to this law, is the fact that on a subconscious
and unconscious level what happens to us really does
matter, and we respond to situations as though they matter.
While ever we're on this level of thought, then it's going
to be impossible to practice and implement the law of it
matters not.

In allowing ourselves to be affected by external opinions
of ourselves (and this includes friends, family, spouse,
boss and colleagues) we display how others are going to
affect us, because we are projecting it via our actions and
responses to the various situations that arise.

So it's only when we accept ourselves and are at peace and
centred with who we are, that we're able to apply the law
of it matters not from a sub and unconscious level. However
some of us might insist on the use of man's laws instead of
the natural laws, and think along the lines of "it doesn't
matter." But the fact is it does matter, because only when
acknowledge and accept ourselves, can we truly apply the
law of it matters not.

Once we do begin applying the law of it matters not we can
begin to respond, create and react from our highest level
of thought and intelligence. This means we don't look
externally to others for approval of what they see in us.

You begin to notice how important this law is as you go
through life and gain deeper understanding of it. As you'll
apply and utilize the wisdom gained from it to work with
humanity, and from each experience you go through, gain a
greater understanding of yourself. And from understanding
yourself you'll receive the opportunity to grow personally.

Let's say for instance that you have fought for a long time
to move forward in a position or role that you feel has
real purpose for you. But for whatever reason, according to
man's law (this could be your boss, authorities or others)
you learn that they don't approve of your new role and deny
you the right to follow your purpose.

Now this could really cause a great deal of conflict in
your life, when you oppose what everyone else thinks and
you create a great deal of animosity between you and the
party involved.

If you just let go, and live by the law of it matters not,
and know well within yourself that by you doing what you're
passionate about doing, you'll bring about a positive
outcome for yourself and eventually others as well. Above
all else, you'll be living in alignment with the law of it
matters not.

Once we understand this natural law it becomes quite simple
to apply it when we are doing our daily activities. It
helps prepare us for whatever balance or imbalance that
might manifest itself to us, and we're willing to
investigate it, accept it and work in conjunction with it.

So in understanding and taking onboard this attitude of "it
matters not," we'll never again worry about what others
think of us, because we'll know that another man's opinion
about us is only reflecting their insecurities or pride
they hold in themselves, it's like a mirror. We also
attract others who we need to learn from into our lives and
those who are often seemingly unbearable, if we look deep
enough and from a position of "non-judgement," we'll find
that in those people, lays qualities that are not desirable
in ourselves and we can then go ahead and learn from it and
correct it in ourselves.

The Law of Divine Order - We're All In A Perfect State of Grace As We Are!

The Law of Divine Order - We're All In A Perfect State of Grace As We Are!
The law of divine order teaches us to not feel, see or
create ourselves as a victim in our life. You see a lot of
people go through life with the belief that they are some
how being punished or harassed by the harshness of society
because we are unable to see the divine order that is in
existence, and has been created that way so we can learn
from everything that happens, whether we perceive them as
good, bad or neutral.

It's only our perceptions that taint a situation good or
bad, but the fact is, from a viewpoint of the law of divine
order, that everything happens in a perfect state of grace
and is neither good or bad.

The only harmful thing that may arise from the viewpoint of
a victim mentality, is the surrender of your control to an
external force, or in other words, you give away your
power, because you are dependent on somebody else taking
your fate into their hands. But you must remember this, you
always have a choice to manifest your own destiny and
create your very own divine life, the way that the law of
divine order meant for it to be.

In order to see through the distortions that man's
perceptions has labelled circumstances of all types of
scenarios, things still are happening in divine order. Once
we realize and acknowledge this, we'll realize that God
really does have a purpose for everything that goes on, on
this planet and the billions of other planets in the entire
universe.

We have to learn to see divine order in every situation we
have created for ourselves, and allow the universal force
to work in unison with us and the circumstance that has
manifested in our lives so we can learn the lesson of that
divinely ordered series of events.

If you look at man's law from this perspective, which has
been created so that to some degree, we each express
likeness and unity with each other. So we say things like,
we're individuals and need to be unique, we hear that for
our general lives and quite a bit if you're in business, as
"differentiation" is one of the dominant factors. In this
unique identity we are all trying to create for ourselves
(so that we "fit in" or "stand out"), we each approve and
accept a slice of the divine concept of identity.

For example, man's law says that we must look beautiful (in
accordance to man's ideals of beauty), but the law of
divine order states we are already in perfect condition,
even if we are seen in man's eye as "ugly" or not
attractive, because natural universal laws don't recognize
vanity.

We also are led to believe that we must judge ourselves and
"live up to" certain standards and goals that we set for
ourselves, and when we don't achieve them we think along
the lines that we aren't living up to our expectations and
this can sometimes cause people to feel down and stuck in a
rut. But these are all self-inflicted pains... The law of
divine order states, "You are in order as long as you are
listening to me."

Can you begin to see the conflict between our own
perceptions of perfect and that of the law of divine orders?

According to natural law we are all already perfect,
beautiful, and in the right situation at the right time.
Even those of us who are dying, taking their last breath,
we do so in perfect grace and will of the ever powerful
universe. For it's not in our control to massage our fate,
therefore all laws that we create for ourselves and our own
lives for our own gain, are really temporary illusions.

Take for example the rose, it would still bloom even if man
didn't exist at all, it's completely perfect without man.
Our bodies are created perfectly the way nature wanted them
each and every time. The fact that we see deformity, and
abnormalities in our human form, and the fact that we think
we can improve upon our shape and health by pumping
ourselves full of all sorts of substances, doesn't alter
the fact that we all come into this world in a perfect
state of grace, and we all leave this world in exactly the
same way.

With or without human intervention, trees would still grow,
the sun would still shine and the winds and rains would
still occur in a perfect sense of purpose.

Therefore the purpose of the law of divine order is this,
to see that absolutely everything happens for a reason and
nothing by chance.

Here's the challenge, to look upon all actions as part of
divine order in accordance to that of the universal God
intelligence. So instead of seeing certain situations as
good or bad, we just see them as information that we can
then utilize for future creations. We are in perfect
essence right now, and that's how we chose to be, and how
we created ourselves right from the start, which is in the
state of perfect grace.

The same goes for everyone around us, and sometimes it can
be very difficult when our emotions are involved, but in
the world of natural law, especially that of the law of
divine order it takes but a fraction of a second for it to
recognize everything is perfect in God's world of divine
order.

By not interfering with the way things are, and the way
some people are because of the way we were brought up, or
the way society wants us to conform. We're able to work in
this world and know that we can leave things as they are,
because they are in a state of divine order.

This makes it much easier for us to help others connect
with others at a soul level, and to have them discover a
soul that says they are better than they think. Because if
we only give sympathy, pity and empathy, we'll in effect
block the process of them discovering their own divine
process.

If we can concentrate on stimulating what is known as the
Christ principle, which can be related back to the law of
divine order. Because we irrespective of how we assimilate
the actions and side effects we see in society, our family,
others families and professions, things will be in a state
of divine order. We only need to practice "detachment" from
our temporary existence as creatures of form on this earth,
learn from the lessons of our experience and then identify
the balance that lies beneath the experience.

In summing up, here's an example... If we look upon illness
in a human or creature of form as suffering, what we are
actually doing is projecting the energy pattern of
suffering to continue being active in that individual, as
opposed to the energy of being in perfect health or state
of grace. This is because we look upon illnesses such as
cancer, HIV, and heart disease as a destructive energy.

If only we could refocus outside the socially accepted
"norm" and see such events as an opportunity to grow and
learn, for the individual with the so called affliction and
for ourselves, we'd realize that the chance of greater
self-discovery and attunement to our own God force has been
right here inside of us all along.

The Transgression of the Unnamed Prophet

The Transgression of the Unnamed Prophet
Then the king said to the man of God, "Come home with me
and refresh yourself, and I will give you a reward."

But the man of God said to the king, "If you were to give
me half your house, I would not go in with you; nor would I
eat bread nor drink water in this place. For so it was
commanded me by the word of the LORD, saying, 'You shall
not eat bread, nor drink water, nor return by the same way
you came.'" So he went another way and did not return by
the way he came to Bethel.

Now an old prophet {who} dwelt in Bethel, ... said to him,
"Come home with me and eat bread." ..."I too am a prophet
as you are, and an angel spoke to me by the word of the
LORD, saying, 'Bring him back with you to your house, that
he may eat bread and drink water.'" (He was lying to him.)

So it was, after he had eaten bread and after he had drunk,
that ... a lion met him on the road and killed him. And his
corpse was thrown on the road, and the donkey stood by it.
The lion also stood by the corpse. And there, men passed by
and saw the corpse thrown on the road, and the lion
standing by the corpse. Then they went and told it in the
city where the old prophet dwelt.

So it was, after [the old prophet] had buried him, that he
spoke to his sons, saying, "When I am dead, then bury me in
the tomb where the man of God is buried; lay my bones
beside his bones. For the saying which he cried out by the
word of the LORD against the altar in Bethel, and against
all the shrines on the high places which are in the cities
of Samaria, will surely come to pass."

After this event Jeroboam did not turn from his evil way...
(1 Kings 13:7-11,15,18,23-25,31, NKJV)

The unnamed Prophet had just given a powerful prophecy to
Jeroboam, king of the ten northern tribes of Israel. This
prophecy was immediately confirmed by the splitting of the
idolatrous altar at Bethel and the withering of the king's
hand that he had angrily pointed at the prophet. The
prophet subsequently prayed for the restoration of
Jeroboam's hand, and the Lord immediately healed the king's
hand.

Jeroboam was so appreciative of his hand being restored,
that he invited the unnamed Prophet to dinner. Since he had
been warned by the Lord to refrain from eating, or even
drinking water in the northern kingdom of Israel, the
unnamed prophet refused Jeroboam's offer in obedience to
the Lord's instructions, and left the area by a different
route to return home.

On his way, the unnamed Prophet was met by an old prophet
who lived in Bethel, who immediately invited him to dinner,
falsely declaring that the old prophet had received a more
recent word from the Lord rescinding the word the unnamed
prophet had received. Shortly after accepting the old
prophet's offer, the unnamed prophet was prophetically
chastised by the Lord through the old prophet, and was
subsequently killed by a lion, who then refrained from
further injuring him, the donkey he was riding, or the old
prophet, who later picked up the body for burial. The old
prophet then requested to be buried with the unnamed
prophet since he knew that his prophecy was going to be
fulfilled.

In this story we learn that the Lord doesn't lower His
expectations for us, even after a powerful demonstration of
faith. Second, even though the Lord will often provide us
with prophetic confirmations of His word to us, we should
be very suspect of any contrary, supposedly prophetic words
from others, especially those closely associated with
people we know are living in rebellion to the Lord. Third,
the Lord expects us to properly discern His word to us and
perfectly obey, in spite of any statements to the contrary
by others deceptively claiming to be prophesying for the
Lord.

The Unnamed Prophet

The Unnamed Prophet
Then Solomon's servant, Jeroboam the son of Nebat, ...
rebelled against the king.

The man Jeroboam was a mighty man of valor; ...

...the Prophet Ahijah ... took hold of the new garment that
was on him, and tore it into twelve pieces. And he said to
Jeroboam, "Take for yourself ten pieces, for thus says the
LORD, the God of Israel: 'Behold, I will tear the kingdom
out of the hand of Solomon and will give ten tribes to you
(but he shall have one tribe for the sake of My servant
David, and for the sake of Jerusalem, the city which I have
chosen out of all the tribes of Israel), because they have
forsaken Me, and worshiped Ashtoreth ..., Chemosh ..., and
Milcom ..., and have not walked in My ways ... as did his
father David.

And Jeroboam said in his heart, "Now the kingdom may return
to the house of David: ... to ... Rehoboam king of Judah,
...

Therefore [Jeroboam] ... made two calves of gold, ... one
in Bethel, and the other he put in Dan. ... He made shrines
on the high places, and made priests from every class of
people, who were not of the sons of Levi.

Jeroboam ...offered sacrifices on the altar... and burned
incense.

... a man of God went from Judah to Bethel by the word of
the LORD, and ... cried out ... "O altar, altar! Thus says
the LORD: 'Behold, a child, Josiah by name, shall be born
to the house of David; and on you he shall sacrifice the
priests of the high places who burn incense on you, and
men's bones shall be burned on you.'" And he gave a sign
the same day, saying, "This is the sign which the LORD has
spoken: Surely the altar shall split apart, and the ashes
on it shall be poured out."

The altar also was split apart, and the ashes poured out
from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God
had given by the word of the LORD. (1 Kings 11:26-33,
12:26-33, 13:1-3,5, NKJV)

Because of Solomon's idolatry, the Lord pronounced judgment
on him and the nation of Israel: the division of Israel,
with ten tribes being given to Jeroboam the son of Nebat,
and the other two being retained by the descendants of
Solomon for the sake of David, his faithful father.
However, even though the Lord had sent the Prophet Ahijah
to him, Jeroboam failed to continue to act in faith, and
resorted to establishing idolatry in the new nation, in an
effort to prevent the nation of Israel returning to
submission to Rehoboam, the son of Solomon.

Jeroboam set up idols, built altars for worshiping them,
and established priests, to minister before those idols,
from every tribe in Israel except Levi (the only tribe the
Lord had ordained to be ministers and priests before Him).
In fact, Jeroboam was far worse than Solomon, in his
pursuit of idolatry, even though it was because of
Solomon's idolatry that Jeroboam had been established as
king over the ten northern tribes.

Since Jeroboam had acted unfaithfully in spite of the
Lord's instruction, the Lord sent an unnamed prophet to him
to pronounce judgment on him, his descendants, the altars
he had built, the idols he had set up, and the priests he
had installed. Most of these judgments were to come from
Josiah, a king of Judah, who wouldn't even be born for
another 325 years.

As confirmation of the unnamed Prophet's words, the altar
split and Jeroboam's hand withered as he angrily pointed at
the prophet. His hand was subsequently restored after he
begged the prophet to intercede for him.

So what do Jeroboam and the unnamed Prophet, teach us about
faith? First, the Lord expects us to respond in faith to
every prophetic word given. Second, the Lord condemns
faithlessness. Third, the Lord provides confirmation of
many prophetic words in an effort to increase our faith.
Fourth, prophetic words uttered in faith will be upheld by
the Lord, in His time. Fifth, the future is never a mystery
to the Lord, so we should respond in faith in all
situations, knowing that He is faithful.

David and Abigail

David and Abigail
Now there was a man in ... Carmel, [who] was very rich. He
had three thousand sheep and a thousand goats. And he was
shearing his sheep.... The name of the man was Nabal {lit:
"a fool"}, and the name of his wife Abigail {lit: "source
of joy"} ... a woman of good understanding and beautiful
appearance; but the man was harsh and evil in his doings...

When David heard ... that Nabal was shearing his sheep,
David sent ten young men ... "... go to Nabal, and ... say
to him ... 'Please give whatever comes to your hand to ...
your son David.'"

Then Nabal ... said, "Who is David, ... Shall I then take
my bread and my water and my meat that I have killed for my
shearers, and give it to men when I do not know where they
are from?"

Then David said to his men, "Every man gird on his sword."
... about four hundred men went with David, ...

Then Abigail ... took two hundred loaves of bread, two
skins of wine, five sheep already dressed, five seahs {a
little more than a bushel, or about 10 gallons} of roasted
grain, one hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred
cakes of figs, and loaded them on donkeys.

Now when Abigail saw David, she ... fell on her face before
David, and bowed down to the ground.

Then David said to Abigail: "Blessed is the LORD God of
Israel, who sent you this day to meet me! And ... kept me
this day from coming to bloodshed and from avenging myself
with my own hand.

... after about ten days, that the LORD struck Nabal, and
he died.

So when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, "Blessed
be the LORD, who has pleaded the cause of my reproach from
the hand of Nabal, and has kept His servant from evil! For
the LORD has returned the wickedness of Nabal on his own
head."

And David sent and proposed to Abigail, to take her as his
wife. So Abigail ... became his wife. (1 Samuel
25:2-9,10,12,13,18,23,32,33,38,39,42, NKJV)

Nabal was a very rich man. At this time, wealth was
measured more in livestock, than in gold or silver. David
and his six hundred men had been living nearby in the
wilderness of Paran for a period of many months, all the
time raiding enemy communities for food and goods, as they
hid from King Saul and his troops.

Shearing time had come, which was a time of great
celebration in the ancient world. Nabal had over three
thousand sheep to shear and, of course, some of these were
killed to feed the shearers. Even though David and his men
had been nearby for many months, they had refused to take
anything from Nabal, and even protected his property during
that time. Since such obvious generosity required a reward,
David sent some men to Nabal to request some provisions as
payment for their time.

Nabal was a miserly and arrogant man, who considered his
own wealth above the needs of others. So he refused to
share his provisions with David, and slandered his
integrity. He even refused to listen to his own servants
who had advised him to be generous to David and his men. In
terror, Nabal's servants quickly ran to Abigail, Nabal's
wife, a beautiful and intelligent woman, for help.

Abigail quickly assembled a generous offering for David and
his men, mounted her mule, and hurried to meet David and
his four hundred armed men (two hundred were left to guard
their supplies). When David and Abigail met, David quickly
acquiesced to Abigail's plea for mercy, accepted her
generous offering, and returned to his own camp. Since
David had refused to vindicate himself but instead trusted
in the Lord, Nabal died a mere ten days later, and David
took Abigail to be one of his own wives.

So what can we learn from David and Abigail? First, the
Lord expects us to reward the generosity extended to us by
others, even at great personal cost. Second, true faith
runs towards the battle, not away from it. Third, true
faith, refuses to vindicate one's own self, but rather
trusts the Lord to balance the scales in His own time.
Fourth, true faith is always generous, neither stingy nor
miserly.

The Law as "As Above - So Below" & How It Manifests In Our Lives!

The Law as "As Above - So Below" & How It Manifests In Our Lives!
To fully understand the Law of As Above So Below, we need
to develop a deeper and more complete understanding of who
we are. And to know fully who we are, we need to understand
what is happening around us, as well as our environment and
the world around us. By having a thorough understanding of
these areas in our lives we can begin to analyse and more
precisely define the areas that need correcting.

The understanding of our own personal needs and inner
desires will allow us to wipe out turmoil in our life and
therefore we can truly experience harmony and peace with
ourselves, our spirit (God) and all life.

You can liken the law of as above so below to the number 8,
which is a key number for us to learn about this particular
universal law. If you turn the number eight on it's side
you'll notice that it represents the sign of infinity... No
beginning and no end, which is equal to eternity, spirit,
or even the God force that is in everything.

So as we stand the infinity sign (eight on it's side) back
on it's end so that it represents the number eight as we
know it, you could liken the top circle to that of God, the
universe or all that is. And the bottom circle would
represent all the living entities of the physical plane and
all that is living within it, either here on earth of other
parts of the universe.

The law of as above so below in its simplest explanation
could really be defined as what is in spirit is also in
form, what is internal is also external. Hence the term
within every problem we face, within us lays it's solution,
no matter how big the problem might be.

Invisible form, or that of the spirit or God is existent in
all things, it's an unconditional love and energy, which
manifests itself in the limited power of living beings,
both human and animal forms of conscious thoughts, we as
humans control the energy of the source that created us,
which is one and the same and that represents itself in
this law of as above so below.

Usually our limited thoughts are what holds us back in our
human (manifested) form, but we must remember that we
created ourselves, we chose the body we live in and were
born into for this human experience on the earth plane.

Once we realize that we were formed in absolute perfection,
which is in the image of the source energy (God), and there
is only one God, one spirit and this spirit interweaves
itself within all of us as unconditional love. This force
is willing to help us help ourselves and guide ourselves to
our highest good, all we need to do is connect with this
source, but unfortunately, most humans have forgotten their
real, authentic selves.

How do we connect with our purest "God" form?

Through meditation and quietness we connect with our
source, which is God. It is through this age old practice
that we go directly to our God force, which is all wisdom,
knowledge, love and truth and bypasses directly past that
of the outside world (or what we'd refer to as, "As Below")
and connect to the all-seeing, all-powerful, God force (or
what we'd refer to as, "As Above"). In essence, meditation
is a time when our earth form experiences our spirit form,
or God our source.

Please don't get meditation confused with prayer or
religion, this is completely different. In meditation we
experience and connect back to our source and allow our God
force to speak to us in the form of feelings, thoughts, and
states of mind. And when we pray we actually speak to God,
so these two practices are the reverse of each other. In
prayer we ask of God and put our thought in the form of
"intent" out there to our source energy, and in meditation
we receive the answers to our prayers.

So if we're open to channelling this quietude through our
thoughts and entire being, even during the day when we're
fully active, we'll be channelling Gods energy through us
all day and be receptive to it. Ultimately we'll become one
with the law of as above so below.

In summing up on the law of as above so below, if you can
go through this little daily exercise of consciousness,
you'll begin to notice many "co-incidences" appearing in
your life as you become more aware.

Imagine if you will a light expanding from your naval area
on your stomach, and from there this light connects with
the heavens (God) of pure thought that you are connected,
and hence created yourself from. Then expand this thought
even further so that not only does this bright cord of
light connect to the heavens, but to that of every other
living being on earth (including animals and other humans).

If we were to look at this in a diagram, we'd realize that
we are all connected to the one source and are indeed the
one source. Our bodily forms are the only thing that
separates us from each other and God, and you'll notice
that the more separate we insist on being from ourselves,
each other and God is where the source of all conflicts
come from for us and others.

The lesson here is this, become more aware of our
connection to each other and our source energy and work at
being at one with that energy, in the form of pure
unconditional love and from there by being the love and
peace we want to create, we'll indeed live the law of as
above so below.

The Universal Law of Love - The Most Powerful Law of All!

The Universal Law of Love - The Most Powerful Law of All!
Everything revolves around the law of love and
unconditional love, we were put on this earth to learn the
lessons of "how to love" one another unconditionally and to
be kind. Ideally the law of love states that we love
ourselves as much as one another, yet we are educated by
the critics in society, as well as some of our friends,
work colleagues and even our own family in a way that
teaches us "not" to love ourselves or instill any self
worth.

On top of this, our education also teaches us to sacrifice
ourselves, firstly to our family and then to our
profession, society, religion, culture and country. So by
rights, we can't possibly love ourselves right?

Well... This is the reason why there happens to be so much
illness, due to imbalance in our lives and the lack of
practicing the law of love on ourselves first and foremost.
We direct love towards everyone and everything else in our
lives that we "perceive" to be important, but at the same
time we try and practice being humble and saying to
ourselves "I'm totally unworthy of receiving".

The law of love really was designed that we begin loving
ourselves unconditionally, and this means even if we have
created a process of illness within ourselves. If we truly
embrace this idea of self-love, then we'll begin to love
all processes within ourselves, including illnesses such as
cancer. Now this may sound quite strange if you're not used
to such depths of self-love, but if began loving the
illness instead of fearing it, then we can begin to look
upon it not as a life drainer, but as an opportunity to
recognize ourselves.

When be begin loving all things in our environment, even
those areas that we create that aren't seen as positive
(such as cancer etc), we begin to identify them as
opportunities to learn about ourselves. This in essences is
a huge breakthrough for us to know, and therefore we can
balance the cause of them out, by looking inside ourselves,
healing the root cause and as a result stop intensifying
the disease process, due to a fear consciousness.

Our mission is to learn to love these seeming negative
parts of us. We have to strive to give the illness a
direction and not deny its existence, we can do this by not
fearing them but by loving them just as we would like one
of our own children who was constantly naughty.

This offers us an opportunity to learn about ourselves and
how to master our thought processes towards such incidence,
they are there to teach us what we don't already know about
ourselves, otherwise they wouldn't have happened in the
first place.

You see it's easy to apply the law of love to the times
when things are good to us and those people who flatter us,
but it's an entirely different love when we practice
unconditional love. When we practice and apply the law of
love in its entirety we also love those who don't return it
to us, even those who try to betray us. Allow me to
clarify, you love the person, but you don't need to love
the actions they carry out, and that is how we manifest
wellness in ourselves and others.

If we just loved those around us who have the same thoughts
as we do, then in essence we're just a sect, and truly be
inviting the destructive forces to kick in within
ourselves... I.e. those forces such as illness and dis-ease
processes.

In light of this we need to be particularly aware of not
giving in to our non-discipline of whether we'll love those
people and situations that are different to ours. Or
whether we'll look upon them in non-judgment and know that
they are different to us, yet the essence (them being human
beings) is still the same.

So when you encounter a perceived scenario that you don't
like the look of, or sound of, or someone you don't
particularly relate to, you have the option of going deep
within your own self-control and facing it.

This will open you to a whole new level of determination,
self-will, self-motivation and self-expansion. It's this
discipline that we're possibly so afraid of, are we strong
enough to grit our teeth and follow an ideal that doesn't
throw judgment towards ourselves.

However, until we practice the above law of love it's only
a theory, we both have the same feelings of contentment and
disappointment and in the times of negative feelings it's
up to us to harness the never ending love principals from
the law of love to lovingly deal with our own internal
conflicts.

Then to effectively deal with the things we don't like in
other people or situations, we have three options to learn
from the scenario and grow from it, which are:

1. Be repelled / repulsed by the scenario, meaning we have
denied them and ourselves the right to learn from the
situation and what is truly being taught.

2. We can recognize the situation and then cover it over by
a lot of self-discipline and illusion.

3. We can recognize the situation and actually take a
stance about it and work through it pro-actively, meaning
we have dealt with it and accepted it. While we may not
like the actions or scenario at hand, by handling them with
our own self-discipline we guarantee our own self-growth.

The third point above is the basis of staying congruent
with the laws of the universe and the law of love, and
while we may not like what is happening in the world, we
need to love the world nonetheless as it provides
opportunity to grow through the expression of free will.

I choose to love and practice the lessons taught in the law
of love, and by practicing and following these laws, you're
life and the processes within it will begin to improve.
You'll wake up in the morning inspired (In-Spirit) because
you're infused with the thoughts of love, not only will you
heal your life, but you'll heal the lives of countless
millions without even knowing it, as we are all energy and
love is one of the most powerful energies around.

Are children ever illegitimate?

Are children ever illegitimate?
I am always fascinated by the rules around succession to a
throne and how monarchs exclude their children that were
born of some women, but include the children that were born
to them of other women. I get upset when children are
described as "illegitimate" - as if God made a mistake with
that child. And not too long ago - in the youth of our
grandparents - children that were born to unmarried parents
were as a rule given away for adoption. Some of those
children never even found out that they were adopted, or
finding this out was a very painful experience to them,
because it reflected the "shame" of their births.

In some cultures children that are born "out of wedlock"
carry that stigma with them for the rest of their lives,
simply because their parents were not married when they
were born. In other cultures people fall in love, live
together and have children, and later on they get married.
Are those children illegitimate?

All children come into this world because they have planned
to do so, like us. They choose their parents and they
choose their paths in this dimension. I believe that they
also choose the experience of "being illegitimate",
probably because they have to deal with feelings of
inadequacy and rejection.

Why are the children "illegitimate"? Because their parents
were not married when they were born.

Marriage should be a celebration of two souls joining
together in love, and finding fulfillment in that love.
For most people marriage is also about raising children in
a loving environment.

Does that mean that marriage has to be a ceremony with a
legal contract? No. A wedding is any celebration of two
souls joining in love. The legal contract was added
because of the rules of society. Without a legal contract
a mother cannot claim what is due to her children when
people decide to end a relationship. Without a legal
contract a father does not have the right of access to his
children. What a strange world we created for ourselves!
Of course the church likes the idea of a legal contract
between people, and so this legality was integrated into
the traditions and ceremonies of the church.

I understand that the church can play a role in helping
couples to understand the contract between themselves -
that is the love contract. But I am afraid I find it
difficult to understand how people who chose to be celibate
could think that they are in a position to explain and
regulate the relationship between couples, when they
personally rejected that type of relationship in the first
place. My own experience of being counseled by a man of
the cloth about marriage was an attempt to give me a huge
injection of fear and the threat of rejection from society,
when I was emotionally in tatters. Fortunately I was
immune to this treatment. I am also sure there are also
people that gain much benefit in such situations, even
though it did not work for me.

A marriage contract, like any other contract, can reach a
logical end. When that happens, there is a divorce. When
people get divorced, they reach the end of their love
contract. That is in most instances also the end of the
legal contract between them. In cultures where there is a
stigma attached to divorce, there is a strong fear base.
Those cultures can be quite cruel and will often see people
living in misery because they can no longer be their true
selves in a relationship that has changed, but people would
rather have that than have those people question the
institution of marriage as a binding contract even if it
destroys both parties.

In this context of messed up adults who create fear and who
blindly follow the rules that are imposed on them, children
happen to come into this world to parents who are not
caught up in the bureaucracy of marriage. The children are
then expected to take on the same heritage of fear and
rejection when you do not toe the cultural and religious
line. Those children then take up an entire lifetime to
fight that heritage. And the more they fight their
heritage, the more that heritage rules their lives, because
fighting something means you put more and more energy into
exactly what you do not want, and you make it real.

I am not saying that it is all right to have many babies
from one or more relationships. We all need to control
ourselves and our destinies. If our destiny is to be a
parent to many children, then so be it, as long as we take
responsibility for each one of those children and raise
them in love.

Can we really look at a new-born baby, an innocent child,
and reject that baby outright because the parents were not
married? Hardly. Then how do we justify doing it when
that same child is older and can understand the rejection,
but cannot understand the reason for it?

We justify it by having our own warped understanding of
love. We do not open ourselves up to the beauty of
unconditional love.

Every single child that comes to this planet is a
legitimate child, because it is part of God's plan. And
when that child grows up, it becomes an adult that is
legitimate. Whenever we question the legitimacy of any
person on the basis of our own biases, we need to look
inside, identify the fear that we project and eliminate
that fear. When we accept everyone on this planet as God's
creature, we will have more love for ourselves and the
world will be a better place.

David and Saul

David and Saul
So David came to Saul and stood before him. And he loved
him greatly, and he became his armorbearer. And so it was,
whenever the spirit from God was upon Saul, that David
would take a harp and play it with his hand. Then Saul
would become refreshed and well, and the distressing spirit
would depart from him.

... when David was returning from the slaughter of the
Philistine, ...the women had come out of all the cities of
Israel, singing and dancing, to meet King Saul ... So the
women sang as they danced, and said:

"Saul has slain his thousands, And David his ten thousands."

Then Saul was very angry, and the saying displeased him;
... So Saul eyed David from that day forward.

And Saul cast the spear, for he said, "I will pin David to
the wall!" But David escaped his presence twice.

... David behaved more wisely than all the servants of
Saul, so that his name became highly esteemed.

Then Saul ... came to ... a cave; and Saul went in ... And
David arose and secretly cut off a corner of Saul's
robe.... afterward ... David's heart troubled him because
he had cut Saul's robe.

Then [Saul] said to David: "You are more righteous than I;
for you have rewarded me with good, whereas I have rewarded
you with evil.

So David took the spear and the jug of water by Saul's
head, and they got away; and no man saw or knew it or
awoke. For they were all asleep, because a deep sleep from
the LORD had fallen on them.

Then Saul said, "I have sinned. Return, my son David....."

Then Saul said to David, "May you be blessed, my son David!
You shall both do great things and also still prevail." (1
Samuel 16:21,23; 18:6-9,11,30; 24:2-5,17; 26:12,21,25, NKJV)

Even though King Saul, initially loved David and greatly
respected his judgment and leadership abilities, Saul was
dominated by a spirit of jealousy. He gladly made David
one of his commanders, and enjoyed the benefits of David's
victories, but he became enraged when David received more
praise than he, so much so, that he sought to kill David.
Several times, Saul tried to kill David himself with a
spear, but even though David was playing the harp at the
time, he easily escaped.

As David's fame increased, so did Saul's jealousy and his
efforts to kill David. When Saul's son Jonathan was
discovered protecting David, Saul threw a spear at his own
son in an effort to kill him (1 Samuel 20:32-43). After
that, David fled for his life, on a journey that took him
throughout the wilderness of Judea, and to Gath, the
capital city of the Philistines. Only when David was
actually in Gath did Saul cease to pursue him, but whenever
he was within Israel, Saul pursued him with all his might.
At the same time, Saul was also busy committing other major
sins, such as killing Ahimelech the priest, and consulting
with the witch of Endor in an effort to contact the prophet
Samuel after his death. Saul was attempting to defiantly
secure the guidance the Lord had refused to provide him
through the forbidden use of witchcraft.

Several times King Saul was within striking distance of
David, but David was unwilling to slay the anointed king of
Israel. David knew that he had been anointed to be king of
Israel by the Lord Himself through his prophet Samuel, and
that he would be king in the Lord's time. But unlike Saul,
David was content to wait for the Lord to act, and
absolutely refused to act on his own behalf. The Lord
called David, a man after his own heart, and David's desire
was for the Lord to accomplish His will, without any
contaminating intervention by himself.

So what do David and Saul teach us about faith? First,
true faith, continually seeks the Lord's will and timing.
Second, true faith waits for the Lord to accomplish his
will, without any additional intervention on one's own
behalf, unless otherwise commanded by the Lord Himself.
Third, false faith continually strives to exert one's own
will over the Lord's, which is a form of witchcraft and is
an abomination in the eyes of the Lord.

David & Bathsheba

David & Bathsheba
... in the spring of the year, at the time when kings go
out to battle, ... David remained at Jerusalem.

... one evening ... David ... walked on the roof of the
king's house. And ... saw a woman bathing, and the woman
was very beautiful to behold.... "... Bathsheba, ... the
wife of Uriah the Hittite?" Then David sent messengers, and
took her; and she came to him, and he lay with her ... And
the woman conceived ...

In the morning ... David wrote a letter to Joab {the
commander of the army} and sent it by the hand of Uriah....
"Set Uriah in the forefront of the hottest battle, and
retreat from him, that he may be struck down and die."...
and Uriah the Hittite died ....

And when [Bathsheba's tine of] mourning was over, David
sent and brought her to his house, and she became his wife
and bore him a son. But the thing that David had done
displeased the LORD.

So David said to Nathan, "I have sinned against the LORD."

And the LORD struck the child ... and it became ill. David
therefore pleaded with God for the child, and David fasted
and went in and lay all night on the ground.... Then on the
seventh day ... the child died.

So David arose from the ground, washed and anointed
himself, and changed his clothes; and he went into the
house of the LORD and worshiped. Then he went to his own
house; and ... he ate....

And [David] said, "While the child was alive, I fasted and
wept; for I said, 'Who can tell whether the LORD will be
gracious to me, that the child may live?' But now he is
dead; why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I
shall go to him, but he shall not return to me."

Then David comforted Bathsheba his wife, and ... lay with
her. So she bore a son, and he called his name Solomon
{lit: "peaceful," also called Jedidiah - "loved of the
Lord"}. (2 Sam 11:1-5, 14-16,27; 12:13,15-18,20, 22-24,
NKJV)

When David should have been going out with his troops into
battle, he stayed behind and was tempted when he saw a
beautiful woman bathing near his castle. Even though
Bathsheba was the wife of a famous soldier, Uriah the
Hittite, she apparently had no problem committing adultery
with King David. When Bathsheba became pregnant, David
sent for her husband, Uriah, in an effort to cover his sin.

Because Uriah was a man of great personal integrity, he
refused to have intimate relations with his own wife, out
of respect to his fellow soldiers, who could not enjoy
similar privileges. Since David was unable to cover his
sin, he made sure that Uriah would die in battle, a murder
by proxy that could not be physically traced to him.
However, nothing is hidden from the Lord, so the prophet
Nathan confronted David, and David admitted his sin.
However, even though David had repented, the child became
very sick and died as a consequence of David's sin.

David had spent seven days lying on the ground, fasting,
and praying, but when the child died, he rose from the
floor, bathed, anointed himself with oil, changed his
clothes, and then went to the tabernacle and worshiped the
Lord. Afterward, he went to his own home and ate. When the
servants inquired about his behavior, David explained that
when the child was alive, there was a chance that the Lord
would acquiesce to his pleas for mercy, but since the child
had died, there was no longer a need to continue.

Even though there were additional consequences for David's
sin, including Absalom's rebellion, the Lord demonstrated
his forgiveness by enabling Bathsheba to give birth to
Solomon, the next king of Israel.

So what can we learn about faith from David and Bathsheba?
First, the Holiness of the Lord God demands that the
faithful be faithful in all their ways, but the Lord is
always willing to forgive those who lapse into sin.
However, there may still be consequences of our sin.
Second, even though we are encouraged to come before the
throne of grace in faith in all situations, the Lord is
sovereign and holy in all His ways, and will not compromise
His own nature and character at any time. Third, whether
the Lord grants our requests or not, He is still infinitely
worthy of all praise and worship at all times, from all of
creation.

The Law of Polarity & How to Create Balance In Our Lives!

The Law of Polarity & How to Create Balance In Our Lives!
The law of polarity can best be described as "As Above, So
Below" or the power of opposites. This can be illustrated
in the following way, if you take a magnet there are always
two poles a negative and a positive pole. If you match the
two like poles together, they stick, yet if you put the
opposite ends together it pushes the other away.

Now this may seem like a contradictory message when you
consider the term of "opposites attract" but it's in fact
an intentional design of universe that the divine creator
wanted, and for very good reason as I'll now explain.

Imagine for a moment, a see-saw in a park, for these rides
to work you need two opposing forces at each end and a
fulcrum in the middle. The two ends are indeed opposites
and yet at the same time need to be of similar weight for
this to work, because it's obvious if one side was too much
heavier than the other there would indeed be an imbalance
in the overall effectiveness.

Another example are human beings, there are both male and
female, we are opposites but at the same time we are equal
as human beings.

This divine plan of the creator was pre-planned to be this
way in every thing there is, negative and positive poles of
the earth and energy itself. So the law of polarity is
indeed in and through every form of energy there is, as our
very essence is energy. And energy itself is nothing but a
series of high and low frequencies, ups and downs, which
gets us straight back to the what this law is all about.

I want to put this into perspective for you and illustrate
what the world might be like if there was no law of
polarity. Imagine for a moment your perfect day, there is
only a few clouds in the sky, it's not too hot or cold...
Just right, the sun is shining warmly and a beautiful
breeze that is very pleasant is gently blowing.

Now I want you to project that perfect weather to be here
tomorrow also, as a matter of fact, no night will fall
because there is no night, because there would be no law of
polarity, hence no opposites. Just the same breeze,
pleasant weather, warm sun and a few clouds in the sky that
never seem to move anywhere.

How long do you think you could stand such a "stand still?".

My guess is not too long, life would indeed be very boring
if there was only one side of the law of polarity that
existed. And as a matter of fact it would be quite
disruptive to us as human beings, the earth and the
universe itself.

So by now I hope you have a better understanding of how
important this law is to every facet of our entire
existence.

It is time to experience the end of the world

It is time to experience the end of the world
The British have always understood that time is a man-made
concept. We are reminded of this twice every year when
Daylight Saving Time results in the clocks being changed in
the UK to gain or lose an hour.

This idea was first proposed by Benjamin Franklin in 1784,
but the British adopted the practice in 1916. It was
appropriate for the British to do this because the
Greenwich Meridian, which marks the starting point of every
time zone in the world, is in England.

How does this changing of the clocks benefit the people in
the UK? Good question. For the first week after the
changes people feel like they have jet lag, and they miss
appointments and flights. Then everything settles down for
six months, after which the same thing happens again. When
you live in the UK, it is quite spooky to wake up on the
day after the clocks have changed, and everything
electronic - the TV, car radio, the VCR, reflects a time
that differs exactly one hour from the time on a wrist
watch that needs to be set manually - as if some techno
geek ghost wandered around during the night and fiddled
with all the electronic stuff to get it all sorted before
we wake up.

This British mastery of time dates much further back than
1916.

During the seventeenth century a British bishop concluded
that the world was created on 22nd October 4000 BC, at six
in the evening.

However, Dr John Lightfoot of Cambridge University
disagreed and calculated in 1644 that God created the earth
on Sunday 23 October 4004 BC at midnight in the Garden of
Eden (this was 9am London time, before daylight Savings
Time was introduced). The implication is that time already
existed more than 6 000 years ago, even before the earth
was created. Then when was time created?

Of course this date of 23 October 4004 BC was calculated on
the Julian calendar which made the year too short, and by
1752 the calendar was 11 days out. The British solution
was to adopt the Gregorian calendar. As a result 2
September 1752 was followed by the next day, dated 14
September 1752, and the problem was solved with typical
British efficiency - a rarity nowadays.

To continue this mastery of time, British Telecom has
already announced that time travel will be invented from
2051 onwards. How do they know this? I have no idea.
Watch this timeframe . . .

We have always manipulated time to suit us, without even
being aware of it. Albert Einstein made us aware of this
when he gave his famous explanation of the theory of
relativity. When you sit on a hot stove, two seconds can
feel like to minutes. However, when you are in the company
of your loved one, two minutes can feel like two seconds.
Do we create time?

It is quite amusing to see people on a commuter train that
is delayed on the way to work. Most people take it in
their stride, but there are the workaholics that get so
irate that they would happily leave the train and run down
the tracks to get to work. Why? And when they get so
upset, they do this to themselves. The job will not go
anywhere. Their health will eventually give in, and they
will still not understand that their bodies reflect the
state of their souls. They will still be the slaves of
this manmade concept called time.

There is an old Arab proverb: Man fears time, but time
fears the pyramids. The pyramids are the only ancient
wonders that can still be seen and measured, because they
are older than time. They existed before we had any idea
of measuring time as precisely as we do today.

The inspiration for the pyramids originates from the same
Source that provided us with time, and the ancient cultures
were aware of this. They used sundials to have a broad
indication of time, but they also knew how to relax and go
into a meditative state. They understood that connecting
with the Source of time was more important than time itself.

Someone asked me an intriguing question the other day.
When the end of the world comes, the people in Australia
will have 24 hours notice. What will they do? Where will
they go? Any ideas? As far as I am concerned, we
experience the end of the world every day - that is, the
end of the world as we know it.

If we can believe the doomsday prophets (those people that
still have sugar and tinned food stored from the previous
catastrophe that never happened), the world will end in
December 2012. This is based on the Mayan calendar.

The Maya civilisation inhabited a region encompassing
southern Mexico, Guatemala and Belize. Apparently they
flourished between the third and tenth centuries AD, but by
1200 AD their society had collapsed. During the late 18th
century explorers came across plazas, monoliths, temples
and pyramids, each decorated with pictures and hieroglyphs,
in the Guatemalan rainforest.

The ancient Maya had been keeping historical records, using
a script which mixed ideographic and phonetic elements.
Some of their writing still exists on stone monuments that
record their calendric and astronomical knowledge.

The Maya identified four different Ages. The First Age
began with the creation of the Earth, which contained
vegetation and living beings. These beings did not please
the gods and were wiped out. In the Second and Third Ages
the gods created humans of mud and later of wood. These
humans also failed to please and were wiped out. We are
currently in the Fourth and Final Age, the age of the
modern, fully functional human. In the Mayan calendar this
Age finishes on December 21, 2012.

This is not just any date, and the translation from the
hieroglyphs could not really be wrong. At sunrise on
December 21, 2012 for the first time in 26,000 years the
Sun will rise to conjunct the intersection of the Milky Way
and the plane of the ecliptic. This will form a cosmic
cross which is considered to be an embodiment of the Sacred
Tree, also known as the Tree of Life, which is represented
in most of the spiritual traditions of the world.

There are people that believe this alignment with the heart
of the galaxy in 2012 will open a channel for cosmic energy
to flow through the earth, cleansing it and its
inhabitants, and raise all of us to a higher level of
vibration.

We have some options here. The first is to start buying
and storing tinned food (and if you do not live in
Australia, you have adequate notice). The second is to
understand that we are all energy, and that our vibrations
have been rising for a while now, and this will only
intensify over the coming years. If you enjoy this blog,
you are probably already part of this movement of
consciousness that will just get stronger over the next
four years.

Have a good time!

How To Have A Conversation With God

How To Have A Conversation With God
Many of you are probably familiar with the very popular
book, Conversations With God, by Neale Donald Walsh. In
this wonderful book the author claims that he is given
answers to his deepest questions directly from God,
himself. Since then, another wonderful book was published,
Your Deepest Intent, by Reverend Deborah Johnson. Her
experience in writing this book reveals answers that were
revealed to her by the same divine source. So, if two, very
different individuals had this same unique experience does
not mean you can, too? Absolutely. We, humans are all cut
from the same divine cloth. This is our inner source. Made
up of swirling atoms of energy(like magical fireflies
dancing in the night), constantly moving, and reshaping our
reality, we are master creators. What you do with your life
is up to you. If you have a desire to converse with the
divine learn to be like nature. Here are some helpful hints
to help you along:

1. Learn to relax. Inspired moments arise when our defenses
are down. When you are agitated because you have not had
enough sleep, your ability to focus is not sharp, and your
creative flow will be compromised. Avoid taking sleeping
pills, as most are habit forming, and many can lead to
depression. If you have trouble sleeping at night try
listening to some beautiful music (Deva Premall) has an
absolutely gorgeous CD, or read an inspirational book (too
many to name). Keep reading or listening until you drift
off to sleep with lovely words or music whispering in your
ear.

2. Exercise. This will also help with step #1. Move your
body, all the different parts. Pick something where the
effort level is not too difficult, and not too easy; a
little exertion is good. If you do not like going to the
gym, walk. If you have a partner, and like sports, try
tennis or basketball. It's even better if you exercise
outside. The fresh air, and will do much to enliven your
spirit.

3. Breathe. Obviously, we all breathe. But, when you bring
more awareness to your breathing, you begin shift your
consciousness from distracting thoughts. This will also
help you relax. When you feel yourself getting particularly
anxious, breathe deeply three or four times. Then slow your
breathing, and beginning to breathe normally. The more you
become aware of your breath, the easier it will be to
maintain a balanced breath-this should be your goal.
Balanced breath provides the best possible way for you
vessel to allow source to enter you and give you divine
messages.

4. Spend time alone. If you have a family this will be
especially difficult, but it is essential. As much time and
energy as you give to your loved ones, you need to put some
time aside for yourself. Sit down with your mate, and
discuss ways to make this happen-just make it so. This time
is for reflection. The idea is to let feelings come up. In
our hectic rat race lives it becomes second nature for us
to shove down unpleasant feelings. This causes stress and
illness, and most certainly it will block creativity.

5. Write. Pick a place that's comfortable. Go to a park, a
coffee shop, or your patio. Bring a big yellow pad and a
pen or paper. Write down your thoughts no matter how
nonsensical. Give yourself permission to be as silly as
want. Pretend you are on vacation, some place you've always
wanted to go. Whether it is England, Monaco or Maine allow
yourself this well deserved get away. The blank pad in
front of you is your friendly companion. Begin sharing your
deepest secrets. This is not a time to be shy.

You might be thinking the steps mentioned above are very
ordinary. How could they possibly lead me to a conversation
with God? The point is that it is ordinary folks like you
that God wants to communicate with the most. And if you are
listening it is in the most ordinary circumstances that his
most inspiring message will touch you.

The Law of Relativity - A New Perspective!

The Law of Relativity - A New Perspective!
When trying to understand the law of relativity, our first
principle to understand is in reality nothing is good or
bad, it's just the way it should be in a perfect state of
grace. It's when we as humans living on this earth plane,
decide to compare ourselves or our situations (whether
we're in dire straits or going well) that discontentment
sets it.

The law of relativity states, if we practice relating our
situations to something worse off than ourselves, then
we'll always be happy and feel blessed. However if we
practice relating to those "perceived" in our own mind as
being better off than we are, then we could possibly be
quite miserable at times.

"Nothing is good or bad until it's related to something of
meaning to you"

And we find as we dig deeper into understanding the laws of
the universe that everything is relative to something. For
example, all the laws are related to one another in some
way shape or form. So you'll learn that there is no big or
small, fast or slow, except by comparison of our
perceptions. Therefore every law there is, must be relative
to all the other laws.

The ways of the great are also the ways of the not so
great, the term for this is "The Way" and is summed up one
of the greatest books of all time by an author known as Lao
Tzu in a prolific writing known as the "Tao Te Ching"
(pronounced Dow De Ching). This writing has something like
82 lessons around this concept and is very deep, and at the
same time is very easy to understand, and the best book of
understanding of this writing and deciphering of the
lessons is by spiritual master Dr. Wayne Dyer in his book
and CD "Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Life".

So in other words all the laws are in harmony, when
relatively compared to each other. If you can gain a grasp
on this concept, then you'll have a chance to understand
and solve the seemingly mystical secrets of the universe
that often seem paradoxical in nature. So when we look at
the "fourth dimension" in our lives, which is basically our
spirit and how it drives our lives, we can boil it down to
our rate of vibration as energy cells. The faster we
vibrate the lighter we are and therefore can appear as
spirits or those who possess magical qualities, yet
compared to a denser form of vibration, we are more mortal
than spiritual. Yet for this comparison to hold true, it's
all relative to the faster or slower vibrating energy.

So in brining the law of relativity into the world of mere
mortals, we can look upon it this way. When we properly use
the law or relativity we win. Keep in mind that we all have
a certain skill set or ability that we can do better than
others, so compare or "relate" yourself to those who have
abilities that aren't superior to yourself and you'll build
your self-esteem up, rather than putting yourself down.
This is the way of the law of relativity, and within this
truth you will become aware of how special you are with
this truth in mind.

Divine Intervention in Attempted Suicide

Divine Intervention in Attempted Suicide
"I need help!" The voice on the other end of the phone
line sounded weak, groggy and frightened—it took a
few seconds to figure out who was speaking. It was "Mary,"
a new friend. "Where are you, Mary?" I could tell that
something was seriously wrong. "I'm in the General
Hospital. Can you come and help me?"

As soon as I was able to leave the house, I drove to the
hospital—all the while wondering: "Why did she ask
for me? We hardly know each other."

I found Mary lying in a hospital bed that was totally
disheveled—dried vomit was obvious by appearance and
smell. Her hair was wild and matted with more vomit. Her
mascara had obviously smeared across the pillow. She was
pale -- very pale -- and shaky.

"What has happened? Why are you here?" I asked.

"I tried to kill myself," she replied. "And everyone is
angry with me. The nurses have not helped me comb my hair,
or wash my face even."

"Tell me about it," I invited while I opened her nightstand
and found the basin, soap and a washrag. I filled it wit
warm water, then sat on her bed and began gently wiping the
tears from her face.

"Roger and I split up," she began. "He had the kids this
weekend and I was so depressed I took a whole bottle of
sleeping pills. I wanted to die."

Considering the fact that Mary was barely five feet tall
and weighed may be 95 pounds, I wondered if she had really
ingested a full bottle of pills.

"How many did you take?" I asked softly.

"I'm not sure. They told me they found 34 pills undigested
when they pumped my stomach."

"Oh, then someone found you right away?" I was being quite
logical.

"No, actually, that's why I called you. I was not found
until my husband brought the children home—48 hours
after I had swallowed the pills."

I was quiet for a few minutes as I took it all in.
Rationally, that was not possible. Yet here she was alive,
although a bit rough looking.

Her next comment really surprised me. "I thought of you
right away. Remember the day you came to my house and told
me that God loves me?" I nodded my head. "Well, my
husband and I had a good laugh at you. We thought you were
a 'nut-job' for doing that. But when I came to from having
my stomach pumped, you and your words where flooding my
mind. That's why I called you."

I had finished bathing her face, neck, chest and arms. I
could not find a hair brush, so I took the comb from my
purse and began gently combing her hair.

"Do you believe me now?" I asked kindly.

"Well, someone must love me. I should have died and well
-- here I am alive."

Mary did live. In a few months she and her husband
re-married and the last I heard they were expecting child
number six!

As I reflect on this entire event, I can now see how Mary's
soul had reached out to my soul when we first met. With my
mind, I thought we had become friends because we were both
doctor's wives with five children. Our family similarity
had created a little "bond" between us. At that time, I was
a little "missionary"—full of faith in God and eager
to share my faith with anyone who would listen. I had not
yet learned the "golden rule" which states: "If they
haven't asked the question, they don't want to hear the
answer."

At the same time I was full of zeal, I was also paying
attention to little "Spirit nudges"—those soft,
gentle nudges to do something that wasn't on my agenda for
the day. Sometimes the nudge would be to phone someone and
encourage or just listen to them. At other times the nudge
would be stronger and I would stop in the middle of doing
the dishes and go see that person. It was just such a
nudge from Spirit that prompted me to visit Mary that day.
Of course, my rational mind needed an excuse to visit her
and the most important message of God's love was primary in
my heart. So she got the whole speech! When I left her
house that day, I simply turned it over to Spirit and did
not worry about how well she received that "good news." I
had done my part. And now, Spirit had done its part in
demonstrating God's love to her and keeping her alive.

You may be wondering what this story has to do with the Law
of Attraction. Actually, it has everything to do with the
Law of Attraction on a deep soul level. When we first
learn about the Law of Attraction, we become aware of how
it works—we become conscious of it and we start
monitoring our thoughts. That's a beginner's awareness:
"LOA 101." Now, we are growing and evolving in our
understanding that something inside us is a very powerful
magnet and it is drawing to us situations which bypass our
conscious mind.

This powerful magnet is our soul. Our subconscious mind is
very connected to our soul. And our soul has a direct line
of communication to our "supra-conscious mind" or Divine
Mind. Our souls communicate with one another in ways our
minds cannot grasp. It is very non-linear and on a very
high level of consciousness that is wordless—pure
vibration.

You don't have to be a guru meditating on a mountain top
for hours every day to recognize your soul's messages to
you. Just pay attention to those little "nudges," little
"inklings," little "hunches"—remember your soul needs
your body to cooperate even though it does not make
rational sense. You don't have to understand it; you just
have to respond to the 'nudge.'

You may not realize how many people are alive today,
because you followed that nudge and spoke kindly, bought
them a meal or simply said a prayer for them. It could be
the person standing in front of you at the bank has
thoughts of suicide, yet their soul timed it so your soul
would stand in close proximity.

Your soul is Life! Will you acknowledge your soul and
choose to honor it to the best of your ability? Nothing
more is required.

The Law of Transmutation - How to Turn Dark Times Into Light!

The Law of Transmutation - How to Turn Dark Times Into Light!
The law of transmutation states that the stronger an energy
force is, the more prevalent force will always succeed. So
in essence our feelings and state of mind whether positive
or negative, will add to the overall energy of the universe.

When the law of transmutation was created by God, he/she
designed it so that the stronger and more dominant thought
will always win. And so it is on our earth plane at the
moment, where we have a great deal of negative energy such
as wars, hatred, suffering, pain, crime and disharmony.

On the other hand we know through studies of the natural
laws of the universe and other teachings that the earth was
created in accordance to God's divine blueprint. This
blueprint has everything loving, peaceful and caring
embedded into it, which cannot be separated or destroyed by
any external negative forces, even though it appears that
it can.

The law of transmutation says that "darkness is consumed by
light" which means that any negative process, whether it's
in the form of thought or energy, can be transmuted into
God's loving energy. And because God's perfection, peace
and love are embedded inside of every cell, atom and
sub-atomic particle within us (as well as the air, earth,
inhabitants and every living organism on earth) we can
consciously change the negative energy as a whole.

Now if you're questioning this point still, and thinking
that you'd like social proof of whether things can be
changed or not, here's an example: We often have thoughts
that may not create a positive feeling within us, or make
us feel good about other people or situations we face. If
we allow the dominant "fear" thought to expand within us,
then it will affect our entire day and the people around us.

You notice if you walk into a room of anger, the air is
filled with a dense feeling of gloom and these thoughts can
begin to affect your thinking also. The same is also true
of the reverse, if you're sad or feeling hostile and walk
into a room of positive, happy energy you'll be very likely
to change.

So somewhere within us, change begins with our own thoughts
and we begin to transmute and change the negative thoughts
that pop into our heads, and instantly dismiss them with
love, and then replace them with a thought of love and
kindness. It doesn't matter if the negative thought was
directed at someone, a group, in the near vicinity or in
the form of scolding yourself over something you did.

You need to acknowledge it, and send that thought on by
utilizing the law of transmutation which will effectively
neutralize it and replace it with positive, kind and
compassionate thoughts.

By being conscious of our thoughts, and replacing any
unwanted, energy draining, negative thoughts, we'll end up
being more balanced within ourselves. We'll be able to keep
a happier and healthier demeanour about us and it will show
by the positive reaction that people, animals and even
plants have with us. Because thoughts are energy and we're
able to project them out into the universe, it creates
positive outcomes everywhere.

The way to get these positive thought processes in action
permanently is to take time each day to focus quietly on
your existing surroundings, the people in it (including
yourself), your family, pets, place of work, as it is now.
Maybe there are some situations in your life that aren't as
good as you'd like, acknowledge things as they are and then
lovingly move into a space in your mind where every
scenario is perfect, loving and in balance.

Focus on how you felt in both modes of thought, and then
decide to stay focussed upon the feeling that made you feel
better inside (even if it's not reality yet). By doing this
you will bring your most dominant thought into existence by
the law of transmutation.

So in summing up this lesson, try and keep in mind that
positive affirmations will create positive thoughts, and
positive thoughts will create balance, peace and love in
your own life and the life of others. This love will
override illnesses in yourself and others, disarm hate and
negativity towards you (others who don't react positively
will simply give up or leave your presence), and you'll
know that your positive demeanour and vibrant energy will
be going out to the world, playing it's part in a global
peace consciousness.

Affirmation: I am a powerful component of the universal
force we know as God, and I have the power to change my
unwanted thoughts, feelings and emotions, from darkness and
hatred into love, peace and light. By doing this, I become
the love, peace and light that I project, this in turn goes
out and comes back to me ten fold. I am the love that I
want to create and am loved abundantly.
