Unlimited
opportunity to experience magnificent
lives exists for all people. The Law of
this thing called life has provided for
us a creation of beauty, excellence, and
durability, which can be experienced
magnificently by every person on earth.
Through pursuing Spiritual Pathways,
which contain principles for High Living,
we can know paradise now. |
- The
first Law of life or nature is that a
creation is manifested which cannot be
altered. The great creation
appears to have been severely harmed.
Also, our individual lives seem to be
hurting in many ways. We keep trying to
correct the conditions, which disappoint
us. We have some success, yet new
disparaging conditions keep taking the
place of the corrections. The general
conclusion of the human race is that we
are in a reality which is made up of two
forces, one good, the other evil, and
that it is hard to keep life safe and
satisfactory for most of us.
The Truth about what
is happening is not observed until we
free ourselves from the conception that
there is a duality of good and evil
empowerments that are causing our
difficulties. In its place, we are to
understand that God is Mind and that God
or Mind evolved everything from the
"big bang" or even before it.
The nature of evolution has two parts,
first that which continued to the point
in time that people came into the
awareness that they could use their
thinking to benefit themselves.
Secondly, from then
on, it has worked through the thinking of
people to cause the experiences of their
lives to happen as they do. For some
thinkers, this second phase was the
beginning of the"seventh day of
creation." The idea that God then
rested, and continues to rest, includes
that all peoples' thoughts continue to
evolve them. The evolvement of the second
phase is the experience that has been
occurring with all people in their being
able to freely think for themselves, each
other, and the environment. God's rest
does not mean that God is not actively
involved in the continuance of our
evolution. It really means that God or
Mind is actively pursing the development
of greater livingness, but not apart from
us, rather through and as us.
Both the physical and
the spiritual laws of the universe
continue to function as they always have,
unchanging and perfect. All people are
participating in the current evolution of
their experience, but with the freedom to
cause their lives to enjoy these perfect
laws or/and to use them in ways that feel
good or hurtful. If they feel hurt, it is
because they have ignored that they can
think positive ideas and fulfill their
unlimited potential to creatively benefit
the whole. When they feel hurt through
reacting to how everything is happening,
they tend to interfere with the ongoings
of evolution. Nevertheless, the perfect
potential and the laws remain unhurt to
the core.
- The
second Law of life or nature is that it
is prone to heal all of its
manifestations, even those which appear
to have been hurt or broken. There is
no power in the universe or intention of
it to hurt its own creations; of course
there are earthquakes, fires, storms,
etc., that occur, because nature is
forever reforming its creations. But that
which is not being reformed is being
healed through nature's interest to
protect and maintain its creations.
However, there is an intervention of
nature's work by we the people, who have
not come to an understanding of what
reality is all about. We cannot know
better as long as we keep thinking that
two powers are at war within the natural
world. The only conflict is in our not
understanding nature and our not
complying enough with its lawful nature.
Not only is
the ongoing creation both reforming and
otherwise protecting its manifested
reality, but also life or nature has
given and continues to give all people
similar privileges. The Law of life or
nature is that even as it has provided us
with benefits such as those of gravity,
electricity, and magnetism, it has given
all of us the privilege of thinking of
how we would like to express our lives,
and creates through us and as us still
further manifestations. So thorough is
its action in this that it makes for us
everything that we think about whenever
we feel it strongly enough to believe
that it can be. This makes life utterly
worthwhile. Our general ignorance of this
capacity, and our distrust of nature's
interest and absolute empowerment to heal
the conditions that arise from our
careless thinking, make it appear that
our bodies get sick, our relationships
spoil, our successes are rare, our
prosperity is impaired, and our dreams
are rarely realizable. When our
experiences appear to prove that we are
victims of an evil power or other
persons' influences, we have only to know
that life or nature will itself correct
through us or restore as us our desires
for good livingness. This is true because
it is natural that healings take place
wherever harm appears. It
is in our interruptions of the natural
healings that the primary cause of
diseases, discomforts, and all other
disappointments, takes place. Healings
then occur as we open ourselves to
embrace New Thought that complies with
the two primary Laws of nature or life.
We
are wise not to
claim that nothing
gets hurt or broken. It is best to
presume that everything may always be
instantly healed or repaired. We can know
that nature contains an inherent trust of
people to guard, preserve, and allow
healing to take place. We are wise as we
open ourselves to guard, preserve and
allow healings to take place. We can know that as
our consciousness increases of life's
being stable that the appearances of
problems fall away.
