Chapter 12: Consciously Creating Results with the Master Law of Manifestation

I just returned from a week in Las Vegas with Bill and Jillian celebrating my birthday. We had a great time. I really concentrated on not worrying which is big for me. I have been thinking about all the knowledge from this book and now how do I apply what I have been learning. I know that being aware or having cosmic consciousness is one of the first steps, but I am ready to be of action. This chapter discusses how we create the physical results in our lives. The following is the Master Law of Manifestation:

SPIRIT IS THE LIFE.
MIND IS THE BUILDER.
PHYSICAL IS THE RESULT.

Spirit, mind and body are the basic elements of our being. First the book discusses Spirit is the life. The spirit is the soul, it is the beginning and end of all self-development. We were Spirit in the beginning, now Spirit and body and will be Spirit again. Spiritual consciousness operates at a different frequency or vibration than mental consciousness. Spirit is the life force that permeates every cell of our body and mind. The spirit force is also the creative force in your life. How you use this creative life force determines what you will be and what your experiences will be. This Law is the natural flow of the life force, of the energy with which we live and move and have our being. As previous chapters have stated the Spirit is not out there somewhere, it is within us right now. No one has more or less, we each have what we need. If you are in harmony with the Universal Laws, you have all the power of those laws. Power means infinite ability to express ability, capability, flexibility, sensibility, lovability, etc. Spirit is the infinite power of the universe. Spirit is the life. The mental or physical point of view limits us, Spirit has no limits. Attune your mind to a higher level, into a spirit of abundance. Abundance is the natural state of the Universe, there are no limits.

Mind is the builder. What does that mean? Our minds are the connecting force between the spirit. The purpose of our minds is to bring manifestations into our experience. Humans, through exercising free will often choose to misdirect and divert the power of Spirit to selfish purposes, thereby building negative and destructive forms of spirit, such as selfishness, hate, envy, etc. The result comes from what your mind is attuned to while it builds. Your will is the master of your mind if you choose to make it so. The book points our our minds are often attuned to the consciousness of the world outside of us instead of our own Spirit. That reminds me of the saying "be in the world, not of the world." The truth is you are a Child of God,of the Divine, not the negative energy of the mass consciousness. You can release the negatives of the world and let the goddess you are shine forth. I love that.

Physical is the Result. Our physical body is the result of our application of this law as is our material success. The spirit, mind and body are all interconnected. This again is about taking responsibility for our own lives.

Living in the Flow. To be living in the flow is to be so in accord with the principles and purposes of the Universe that you begin to experience in your life the highest good for yourself and others. The book states that Being in attunement with Spirit and in accord on all three levels is the secret of being in the flow with life and the Universe. Again the spirit is the starting point of it all, the key. The laws have to be lived on all three levels, spirit, mind and body, to not disrupt the flow.

So the real question is what will you build within yourself? Will you take the high road? The choice is always yours. You must choose your own purpose and the consciousness from which you act: these are the keys to the result. With these keys and this law you can consciously create the desired results in your life.

Chapter 11: Laws of Self

Today I was sent this inside an email:
Young souls learn to accept responsibility for their actions.
Mature souls learn to accept responsibility for their thoughts.
And old souls, learn to accept responsibility for their happiness.
If you can't be there for yourself, who will be there for you?

Here we go with the chapter that still makes the little girl inside of me think not to be selfish. That was clearly instilled into me. I think it is part of my culture, but this chapter is not talking about “selfish” but self love and that is so different. I think it took me half a century to figure that out, that I deserved to think about myself first and my place in the Universe.

To fully understand the higher Universal Laws begins with the laws of self. Understanding of all truth is found in self. I discussed this in Chapter 10, finding the divine wisdom within yourself and reconnecting. You are the most important person in the world. Are you doing your job or are you trusting someone else to do it for you? One of the greatest mistakes you can make in trying to know yourself is to compare yourself with others. Where you are as compared to someone else is not important. The Spirit within does not judge you, but knows rather the infinite potential that exists within you. No judgement, isn't that amazing?

There are several laws of self, the first one is the Law of Individuality: As you honor, respect,and love your own unique individuality, so you honor, respect, and love the individuality of others. Your individuality is your real self, your soul. Only to the degree you know and love your individuality can you truly know and love others. Service to others is one of the basic requirements for spiritual growth. Effective service is the expression of our individuality.

The second is the Law of Equality based on the understanding that all of us come from the same source, we are all created equal children of God. The law reads: Your true needs, wants, desires, hopes, dreams, wishes, and their fulfillment are as important as those of any other soul in existence.

The next is the Law of Priority: You must first "save" self if you would "save" another. Your body is truly the temple of your soul. Take care of your body and mind first and foremost, not just when something goes wrong. Our purpose on earth in essence is to "save self", if you neglect self for "saving" another you have defeated your purpose. This honors the divinity within yourself.

So how do I apply these laws? The book states I am to give of myself in any activity only to that point at which I do not feel depleted-physically, mentally or emotionally. It is important to love and nurture yourself as much as you love and nurture anyone else. I know I have struggled with this as I feel I have been rewarded for caring more for others at times. This doesn't mean I have to stop doing but be more in balance with myself. it is arrogant to believe that you can do something for another that the person is not capable of doing for her or himself, but that does not mean that I cannot be of service. Service is essential to our growth. I need to be of service when someone asks for help, I can then respond to their request within my own boundaries. As you live in accord with the laws of self and value others as you value self, you become selfless. I need to trust the spiritual power within to guide me.

The next law discussed in the chapter is the Law for Manifestation of Your Higher Self which reads As you put the God within first in your life, so you manifest the God you are. Accept that you have that God Presence within. Acknowledge that you are a spiritual being by living that concept. As we begin to put Spirit first, we begin to think as a God, to love as God and to live as the goddess or god we are.

The last law is the Law of Mastery of Self which reads As you become master of your lower self, so all things, conditions, and elements become subject unto you. As you release the fears, anxiety, guilt, shame, and other negative aspects of your lower self you release these thoughts explaining that you do not need them anymore because you know a higher thought. As you become selfless you master self. As you become master of self you become the goddess or god you are meant to be, with all things, conditions, and elements subject to you. There are no limits.
