Ernest Holmes wrote, “We should come to consider the Law and the Spirit as friends and think of them as such. In this way, we shall gradually go from good to more good and from peace to greater peace. We should EXPECT THE BEST and so live that the best may become a part of our experience.”
I love this idea of the Law and Spirit as friends. I am Spirit and I have a Law that says yes to me. Spirit, me, contemplates. I think about how I want my life to be. When things show up that I’d like to change, I have the power to change them. Spirit works with Law, making all things so.
However, I have to create a space for this to happen. I have to be accepting and willing to receive the good in my life. I have to create a mental equivalent for those things I desire. I have to vibrate at the same level of those things I say I want. It isn’t enough to just want them. Do I feel like I can have them? Do I feel like I deserve them? Can I imagine myself living the way I say I want to live, even when it isn’t here yet. Can I vibrate at a higher level and keep it there most of the time? I believe I can.
Recently, I’ve had two major demonstrations in regards to family. The demonstation I sought was my family visiting me and enjoying Kaua’i. I wanted to spend time with my grandkids here. I believe it took me a while to demonstrate these things because in my subjective field I had many thoughts both conscious and unconsciuos that were counter to what I wanted. I was saying I wanted something, but really believing something else.
As soon, as I began to think of what I wanted instead of what I didn’t want, as soon as I began to visualize and live in the emotion of those things I wanted, they became part of my experience. This summer my family is visiting and next year they are coming again. Something broke loose in my consciousness. I am going from “good to more good…”
I also did this in regards to the home we are now living in. “This is not a philosophy,” as Albert Einstein said, “It is Physics.”
I know I can do this in any area of my life if I set my mind to it. I have to trust, have faith, get real disciplined with myself and be very clear. A friend was talking about something not coming to her because she was being too picky. No! She was just being clear. There is a difference. Clarity is definite and knows exactly what it wants. Picky means that we are dictating that things have to show up a certain way and on our terms. Clarity demonstrates. Picky gets in the way of the Law, which brings things to us in the quickest easiest way when we are clear on what it is we want.
Yes, the Law and Spirit are friends. What could be more wonderful than a friend who listens, hears our true heart and just works with us in getting it done.
Love and Aloha,
