LAWS OF MANIFESTATION

 

These universal laws are what we work with every day of our lives, for this is how the universe works, governed by universal laws. We understand gravity as a law that is consistent in nature. But these laws, described herein, based on the pioneering work of Charles Fillmore in his classic book Christian Healing, first published in 1906, describe how it works. By this I mean how we manifest things in our lives and in our world. Understanding this helps us to know that we do not have good health, success and quality relationships by sheer chance or mere luck: if we do then it’s a gift. But we can consciously apply the principles described below with certain practices and enter into the process and see it happen consciously. So let’s take a sample look at the Laws of Manifestation.

 

THOUGHT

Thoughts held in mind produce their kind. Thought creates.

“Whatever things are true and honest… think on these things”  Phil 4:8.

“As a man/woman thinks in his/her heart, so is he/she.” Proverbs

Thoughts are things, they have power, they have energy, they have life.

 

WORD

Word is the “Creative action of Universal Mind”

“And God said, Let there be light” Gen. 1:3

“In the beginning was the word and that word was with God” John 1:1

Affirmations of what is true instill in mind the truth that you deserve and can manifest in your life what is good, healthy and happy.

 

IMAGINATION

Imagination is the creative workshop of the mind.

“God created man in his own image” Gen. 1:27

Imagine what is possible for you as a child of God, a child of the Universe.

 

FAITH

Faith is the perceiving power of mind, the power to see what is possible.

“Faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things unseen.” Hebrews 11:1

Faith is the connecting power of mind in that it connects you with the Source and draws upon the resources to manifest what you desire/deserve.

 

LOVE

Love is what you are, you were created in love, by love and as love.

“Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your mind, with all your might and all your soul and love your neighbor as yourself.” Mat 22:37

Be the love you are.

 

WILL

Will is the executive power – it is the doer in you.

“Thy will be done” Matthew 6:10

Will is like the bus driver, like our personal ego, but it must take direction from headquarters.

 

APPRECIATION/GRATITUDE/PRAISE

Appreciation and gratitude express and enhance value

Express love, appreciation and gratitude and then let it be.

Praise God. Praise those you love. Praise the good in others.

“In all things give thanks.” I Thes. 5:16

 

Life is Consciousness

 

“Life is Consciousness” is commonly said in Unity and similar spiritual orientations today. But what does this mean, beyond rhetoric and platitudes? Consciousness means more than being alive or being awake. Consciousness means all the attributes and aspects that comprise the mind, both conscious and subconscious mind. Some of the aspects of the functioning mind are beliefs, opinions, attitudes and habits including mental - emotional conditioning.

 When we look at the world we live in, we know life is consciousness. Whether it is the mountaintop mining destroying the Appalachian Mountains or banks and brokers mining mortgages other financial resources we know the mind set of greed and expedient profits were involved. All the wars and resulting suffering and starvation, sickness and slavery are results of consciousness of fear, power mongering and control. These are not things that just happen our of the blue but as manifestations of consciousness. 

 Likewise when we look at the life of a beloved teacher who manifests love and touches the hearts and souls of all those open and receptive students, we know there is one living or manifesting the consciousness of love. A mother caring for her infant, watching it, holding it, nursing it, letting it play, even bump its head, is manifesting love consciousness. 

The world we see and experience is the result of all that we do, think, believe, feel, want and need. And the life we live is the outcome of all we believe, think, feel, want and need with a dash of attitudes, opinions and everyone and everything else.
