A friend was scheduled for a procedure for an aberration on her leg, but two days before the operation she noticed that it was gone. Excited, she called the hospital to cancel, but the nurse didn’t believe her and got upset with her as she believed my friend had chickened out.
We live in a world of cause and effect because we manifest what we believe. Yes, we are that powerful to believe in our own mind creations. Body, mind and the perceived world are an inescapable matrix as long as the memories of the past, past lifetime impressions, and the experiences of our ancestors and humanity in general rule. What we have made over the eons swirls around in space like low frequencies of an AM radio station and as long as we dial into them, we have to dance to their music.
A Course in Miracles states, “All this can literally disappear in the twinkling of an eye because it is merely a misperception.” The Law of Attraction maintains that when we are one with the feeling of owning what we feel we deserve we set in motion the universal frequencies to receive it. Actually, I practice neither the Course nor the Law of Attraction because I don’t want to project into Jesus and the Holy Ghost, nor would I like to tell the universe what I supposedly deserve.
Yet, both philosophies are consistent with my observation that this world is a manifestation of the field of infinite possibilities in which there is no future and past and no cause and effect. It’s not that I doubt the manifesting power of Jesus and the Holy Ghost, nor the existence of the Law of Manifestation, it’s just that I don’t trust the entity who channels into Jesus or manifests things. Instead we can simply fall back into the field of unlimited potential and accept the role of manifestors of that which is without cause and effect, past and future. We can stay connected to this field as long as we manage to get the self out of the Way.
How to do that exactly? Just observe! Another example. A woman was compulsively buying shoes. One day someone observed that these shoe purchases eat up too much of her budget and that she had no place left to store them. She agreed with that assessment and started inquiring into the reason behind her show shopping compulsion. Suddenly she remembered that one day someone had commented how attractive she looks in high heels, and that simple encounter was enough to induce her shoe buying spree. Without this implicit belief there was no need to buy more shoes. Her compulsive need disappeared just like that!
