Mitch,
As I mentioned in a post above...too much analyzing!
A women asked Edison what electricity was. He answered, "Madame, it just is. Use it."
You could spend a lifetime studying whatever the science of electricity is. Or you can step out on faith, turn on the switch and light up your life.
Fortunately, understanding these Universal laws does not have to be so complicated - really - but if you keep trying to analyze something that you are not grasping, then you are missing out on the opportunity to just accept that "it is" and "use it."
This reminds of something I wrote a few years ago in a letter and my designer put it on my website under "Marilyn's Views:"
“In skimming, I can only say one thing with certainty. Our spiritual connection to God/the Universe/Divine Mind/Infinite Intelligence (whatever you choose to call it) cannot be recognized through the intellect. It can be known about through the intellect, but it can't be known. It can only be experienced through intuition and feeling. And once it is recognized, once you become aware of that Presence and its responsiveness to you, you can never be the same. Once you learn to align yourself with the laws and that Presence, you have achieved Spiritual Intelligence - true intelligence."
- Marilyn's note to a friend 2004
Now what I am saying in that note...and what I say to my students, is...the way that we know that these the "law" exists, is by its responsiveness to us. That's all we need to know.
If someone shakes an apple off a tree and it lands on your head, you don't have to understand physics and the law of gravity. The responsiveness of that law showed you that it existed. Step off a tall building and I promise you, you'll believe in its existence. :-)
I don't care what The Secret said. You can interpret it any way you want. If someone creates wrong results, they are not manifesting improperly. They are manifesting exactly according to the their thoughts and feelings - their core beliefs. They are just not manifesting what they want. But I still believe that the manifestation process is working perfectly. But I think we're talking semantics here.
Yes, you may be taking things too literally. Even in that other area of law - legal - there is a saying that is quite profound:
"The law is more important than the letter of the law."
So to me, the first order of the day is "using" and "applying", not speculating and analyzing. It does take faith, not academics, but if there is enough apparent evidence that the rewards are there, if there are enough great minds saying the same thing, isn't it worth the gamble to test it?
With regard to "natural law"...well, yes, you can get confused if you attempt to understand the relationship of the physical with the mental and the spiritual. But quantum physics has proven the relationship. Did anybody understand energy and matter before Einstein came up with a theory? Does anyone still understand it?
Instead of reading the philosophers to learn about manifesting - read the results and testimonials in the literature of all the great teachers of these laws. If something works over and over and over again - if there are consistent results, we can assume that there is some kind of law at work, even if that law hasn't been scientifically proven. But it now has...
Thought becomes matter - quantum physics has proven this. But we don't have to become quantum physicists.
As in heaven, so on earth. Spirit becomes matter. Thoughts become things. Anything that has ever existed in the physical was first a thought form.
A poor person will always remain poor ONLY if he believes that his thoughts were set by nature or that it was "meant" to be. That's ignorance of the laws. Plenty of poor people have become rich. So you can't blame poverty on laws that don't work. You can blame it on not working the laws.
Natural law with regard to manifesting is the same whether on a physical or mental or spiritual level. To avoid confusion, call the non-physical mental law, spiritual law or "Universal law."
To me it is very natural indeed. When you align yourself with the law and manifest what you want, it doesn't even seem to be like manifesting. The result comes and often it feel so natural, so organic, like it's always been that way or like it was supposed to be that way. You can't get any more natural than that.
But it's all the same. Here are two analogies that might help you understand:
This first is from my lessons:
Marriage of the Conscious and Subconscious Minds
Here is an analogy that my students love that I share often with regard to manifesting our desires by creating agreement between the conscious and subconscious minds. Think of the conscious mind as the husband, the assertive male aspect of mind. The husband impregnates the wife, the receptive female aspect of mind. When the subconscious becomes impregnated with the new seed thought, the new idea… then from this union, children are born. These children are your answered prayers, your desired results. It is through this marriage of the conscious and subconscious minds - when they BOTH agree on an idea - that the idea will become manifest.
So we must now teach the husband how to impregnate the wife :-)
We make a decision with our conscious mind. We use our conscious mind to instill this idea into the subconscious until it is accepted. Once the seed has been accepted in the soil of mind, it will grow and manifest just as the seed planted in the ground will become a plant or a flower. First, we do our job and plant the seed. We nurture the soil with positive thoughts and expectation. Then we turn the job over to Universal Mind - to the creative forces. We can relax and let go. Our manifestation will come. There is no such thing as “half pregnant”. Our baby will be born.
Here is a post from the other day on another Ryze network. The person who started the thread asked:
In your idustry do you see a GARDEN when others see NOTHING?
I didn't take time to write a long answer, but shared this:
In my industry, there is a real garden - it's a mental garden. And I describe the process of "mental gardening" as follows:
Planting our seeds in our subconscious soil Watering them with faith and expectation Clearing and eliminating the weeds And in perfect Universal timing... We bear fruit.
What my Feel Free to Prosper program does is teach people how to cultivate their garden. My students are fruit lovers. :-)
[end of post]
So, Mitch, I'm sending love right back at 'ya, but I'd sure be a lot more pleased if you would just break down and start a Feel Free to Prosper program instead of consistently analyzing the laws. I would rather see you apply something and get a response - so that you won't need all that intellectual "proof" or academic understanding.
You would be living it!! Once you had a taste of the laws responding to you, then you can build on that faith and on your new understanding to create more and more prosperity, even wealth - if that's truly what you want to manifest.
As long as - in your thoughts - you remain looking out at all the wealth and prosperity that appears out of reach, you won't attain it. You have to be it on the inside - in your consciousness - one who has achieved it - in thought and feeling. And than you can look out and see all those people out there scratching their heads analyzing what the laws are all about.
But you will be living it.
Marilyn
