EFT and the Law of Attraction Report 2

Okay, I know I did a kinda gloomy entry yesterday on EFT and the Law of Attraction experiment.
BUT.....
(There's always a but right?)
Today something happened out of the blue.
If was really an inspiration, money didn't just plop down outta the sky.
I was in the right place at the right time and now I'm gonna wind up getting paid $35 dollars for 20 minutes work Friday.
Get your mind outta the gutter...it's for a survey, (not online, at a local place here.)
But anyway, again it was being in a place I don't normally go, and it was a fleeting thought I followed up on.
True it's not a check for over $18,000.00, like in the example I read, but it is a start.
So I'm gonna keep tapping and see where it leads me.
Don't worry, should this turn into a Bonanza, I will post every detail of what I am doing.
So I guess the bottom line here is "EFT and the Law of Attraction Experiment Day 6, profits up".

EFT and the Law of Attraction Report 1

As you read in my last entry I'm doing an experiment with the law of attraction and EFT.

So this is my first report.

Nothing has happened.
Nope, not a thing.
I'm not being disbelieving or skeptical or anything, just reporting on what's going on.
So far, nothing.
True it has only been five days, not even a week yet.
So I'm going to keep doing it.
One thing it does seem to do is help set the affirmation you use into your head.
I've caught myself thinking about it out of the blue.
But if the affirmation isn't doing any good...whats the point?

Don't take this wrong, but I like a dose of reality with my LOA.
It's back to the piano thing I mentioned before.
If tapping works great.
If it doesn't, I'm not gonna sit around tapping myself on the head for a year.

Anyway, like I said, I'm gonna keep doing the EFT and see if it really does help with the law of attraction.

How can you do whats already done?

Neville Goddard spoke of "I AM".
It's the ability to say "I am" what I desire right now. Not in the future, not in the past, but right now it is done.

Those of you that embrace Eckhart Tolle's teachings will recognize "being in the now".
" I am rich." right now.
" I am healed" right now.
You have to believe it, even though you don't see it.

What is it Wayne Dyer says " You'll see it when you believe it." ?
"And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive." Matthew 21:22
Believing though is the key right? How can you when everyone and everything says " No!" ?
Well, I don't recall anyone saying it's easy.
If you lived in the mountains alone and no one bothered you, maintaining focus would be easier. But most likely you don't. You live in a city or town where you have people, TV, movies and in my opinion the worse downers of them all, news and commercials.
What do you do?
You maintain.
Using the term " fight" seems out of place, but it is a fight within yourself.

The Warrior has awakened. He surveys the war raging before him. He sees the teaming legions mounted against him.
Facing immeasurable odds, he draws his sword and smiles. In a low voice he says to himself...."They are doomed now."

You have to remember, you have already won the war.
Right now.

Thank you Father

If you read my last post and read Walt's comment below it, you might have discovered something.
I know I did.
Someone once said (And I can't remember who it was right now) that to achieve happiness, you have to be able to be happy living in a mansion, or a cardboard box.
Maybe the key here is attachment. You get too attached to the outcome.
"I want a million dollars." Is that what it takes to make you happy?
Or can you be happy looking into the eyes of a baby, or a puppy, or a kitten?
"For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?" Matthew 16:26
I know I've mentioned this before, but Neville Goddard said the most effective prayer was "Thank you Father."
The Ho'oponopono "chant" is "I love you, I'm sorry, Please forgive me, Thank you."
I want or I need isn't anywhere in there is it?
Maybe just Thanking is the best way.
"I want a million dollars." okay, what if God wanted you to have a billion?
"I want a new car." What if God wanted you to have a new car with a chauffeur to drive you?
(Again I was raised in a Christian faith, I say "God" because it's comfortable to me. You say what ever name you wish. Actually I think God is too big to be given limiting names.)
Now the true test is to be able to say "Thank you Father." when life kicks you in the teeth.
Oh it will.
In the past year I have gone through the loss of my mother, a big car wreck, cancer and major surgery. I still have the effects of the twelve weeks of chemotherapy I went through. I can't feel my hands or feet.
Is it easy to say " Thank you Father" during and after all that?
No.
But do you just give up?
Or do you,as they say,"Let go and let God"?
Maybe the way we overcome our obstacles is to let go.
Very Zen-like huh?
Don't be obsessive, don't fixate.
Go about you regular life with a quiet "knowing" that the things you desire will come to pass.
Don't worry about the how.
And thank your creator for it.
Even when you don't see it.
Right now.

Law of Attraction: Opposites Attract?

I have a question I have never heard addressed in all the talk about manifesting reality.
They say the law of attraction is built on scientific laws and principals, that like attracts like.
Ummmm...doesnt Coulomb's Law state that equal charges repulse and different charges attract?
Following that, if I think positive, I'll attract negative things.
But if I think negative, I'll attract positive things.

I'm not trying to be a smart aleck here, it's just that I have this nasty habit of researching things.
I dont have a problem with Faith based LOA, thats something that cant be defined in scientific principles.
But if you start saying something is scientifically accurate, people can check that.
How did "Like attracts like" become one of the spiritual laws of the universe?

And just what are the spiritual laws of the Universe?
Shouldn't it be Spiritual Theories?
I'm sure Neville Goddard, Aleister Crowley and Billy Graham all have/had different views on what spiritual " law" is/was.

Any ideas?

There wasn't a cover charge for the Sermon on the Mount was there?

You know when I first started reading about Neville Goddard, I could hardly find anything on him.
Now a Google Search gives about 299,000 hits for him.
Of course that's nothing compared to the 3,230,000 you get for Eckhart Tolle, but Neville has never been on Oprah.
One good thing is that almost all (if not all) of Neville's teachings are available online for free. All you need is an internet connection. Neville even has a page at Wikipedia now.
I noticed him mentioned in passing in the Secret. " In passing" might be best, because a lot of his teachings are "uncomfortable" to some people. They need to be approached with a fresh and open mind.
As always though read such writings with a grain of salt. Read his theories and evaluate them for yourself. One thing that always impressed me about him was his constant call to test his teachings. Apply them and see what they do for you. Don't just accept blindly.
" I tried Neville's teachings and they didn't work."
" I tried the Secret and it didn't work."
" I tried sigils and they didn't work."
Well move on, explore. Suppose you were the world's greatest guitarist, but you spent your whole life trying and failing to master the violin. Explore, pick up that guitar, you never know what might happen.
By the way, it anyone comes up with a 100 percent fool-proof manifesting technique that works for everyone, let me know.
I'll be more than happy to post it.
And it better not be a book you can order for 299.99 either. If it is, we can already see your manifesting technique.
I don't think there was a cover charge for the Sermon on the Mount was there?

Remember, as Aerosmith said, " Lifes a journey, not a destination."

The Top Five Manifesting Reality Links

You Already Know How to Manifest Reality!
The simple truth is this. You can manifest reality, you are already doing it everyday, except. That's not the reality you want, right?
http://www.how-to-manifest-your-desires.com/how-to-manifest-reality.html

I've experimented with conscious manifesting techniques for 13 years now. For 5 years I have taught others the tools that I myself have learned in a course called 'Manifesting Results'. Some people come to the course with a preconception that I'm going to teach them how to manifest. The bad news is that I'm not going to do that. The good news is that you already DO manifest everything in your life. You always have.
http://www.selfgrowth.com/articles/Neta5.html

At some level, each of us has always known that we have attracted people, things, and events into our lives based on our thoughts. The recognition of that is in our daily speech, such phrases as; "What you put your attention on grows", "Be careful what you wish (pray) for" etc.
http://www.byregion.net/articles-healers/manifesting.html

It’s an uncanny phenomenon but it’s true: The Universe has a way of supporting those who get crystal clear on what they want and then wholeheartedly go after it.

It’s September, and the leaves have slowly been changing color the last couple weeks in Portland. I’ve been going through some changes myself, and I’m sure all of you are going through changes as well. One of my changes is a realization that I need to be really authentic about where I’m coming from in order to be a great coach for my clients. Since I started this business in April, it’s gone through some changes as I’ve been trying to figure out what my niche is and how I should represent myself.

'Nirvanic Conceptualism': Thought-Provoking New Book Reveals the Truth of All Truths

'Nirvanic Conceptualism': Thought-Provoking New Book Reveals the Truth of All Truths

Mankind has been searching for the truth and unifying force since our beginning. That which can not be debated, that which is absolute. Science discovers facts, only to have them become eradicated. Religions and philosophies come and go. We continue still ... but now it's here, the 'Holy Grail' has been found," claims William Edward Dattilio III. In his new book, "Nirvanic Conceptualism" (published by AuthorHouse -- http://www.authorhouse.com), Dattilio shows us what he believes is the truth that we have been looking for since we've walked the Earth. This philosophy, religion, and science is "the unifying force that will rally mankind and lead us to Freedom."
http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story/nirvanic-conceptualism-thought-provoking-new-book/story.aspx?guid={D33C4256-BF86-4F49-96D6-13B7F9F22D6E}&dist=hppr

Interesting you might say, but what does this have to do with actual manifesting?

" Dattilio goes on to explain how the mind controls the "flow" of the universe, because "science, and scientific 'facts' are actually not facts at all, they are just authorities given power by mind that can be overthrown if we desire it and make an effort at it." Using this flow can either make or break a reality. "The more minds towards a reality, the more easily it will be able to manifest. The more minds that block the reality the more difficult it will be to manifest. And if the realities can't be manifested externally, the realities are still real in the Nothingness that is Everything, the internal realms of which we are immortal."

The Lord, Our Potter

I tell you, to attempt to change the circumstances of your life before you change your imaginal activity relative to it, is to struggle against the very nature of things; for this is a world of imagination, created by God - your reality and all imagination.

All things exist in Divine Imagination who is reproducing Himself in you, the human imagination; therefore, all things exist in you.

Now, you have friends. They know your present position and the conditions that surround you. If they are not as you would like them to be, let your friends know - not verbally or outwardly - but in your imagination. See them seeing you as they would have to see you, the day after they know things are just as you want them to be. Then wait in confidence for ways to open that you could not devise. No one knows how or when it will happen, but it will. You will find yourself walking across some bridge of incident that you did not consciously devise, which takes you to your freedom - whatever that end may be.

Start now to create the scene which, if true, would imply the fulfillment of your desire. If you will, there is no power that can stop its coming into being; because your Lord is your Father, who is your potter, and your desire is clay in His hand. So "Rise and go down to the potter's house" said the Lord to the prophet Jeremiah, "and there I will let you hear my words." So I went down to the potter's house and there he was working at his wheel. Although the clay in his hand was spoiled, he didn't discard it but reworked it into another vessel, as it seemed good to the potter to do.

When someone comes into your world, don't discard him by turning your back because he is ill, financially troubled, or not successful in his own eyes. Rather, see his desire as clay in your imaginal hands. Take that same vessel (person) and rework him into another state as it seems good to you to do.

If he is unemployed, rework him into a man who is gainfully employed and happier than he has ever been in his life. That's all you do. What means will be applied toward his employment is not your concern. Your only desire is to be the perfect potter.

Believe my words! Trust your imagination! Having reproduced himself in you, all things now exist in your imagination. If you desire changes, produce them first on the inside. Penetrate that which exists in you, as that penetration will compel the outside to conform to the changes which you, the potter brought to pass. The only way to prove this is to try it. Imagine a scene which would take place after your desire has been fulfilled.

Your for the Taking, Neville Goddard

From : Yours for the Taking, Neville Goddard

God, your own wonderful human imagination, underlies all of your faculties, including perception, and streams into your surface mind least disguised in the form of creative, productive fantasy. When you ask yourself what you can do to transcend your present limitation of life, you are dwelling upon the means. God does not ask you to consider the means, but to define the end. Speaking to you through the medium of desire, God asks the question: "What wantest thou of me?" Then he tells you not to be concerned with the ways and means, for his ways are unsearchable. They are inscrutable and past finding out. This statement you will find in the 11th chapter of the Book of Romans. So don't be concerned as to how God will fulfill the end, only know that He will. Can you believe your desire is fulfilled? Can you believe it is true? If you can, it is yours for the taking, for nothing is impossible to one who believes.

A thought acted upon is an imaginal act. Think (imagine) a horrible earthquake and God will give it to you. Imagine (think of) a war and God will provide that, too. Imagine peace and you will have it. God will give you health if you will but imagine being healthy. Imagine success and you will have it. The moment you think, you are feeding your imagination, which is a person. I use the word person deliberately, for you are a person. You are the mask God is now wearing, for God became you that you may become God.

Remember, everything is yours for the taking. If you want it, take it. If you cannot claim it for yourself, ask a friend for help. If you want to be happily married, do what my friends did. You want to pay off all of your debts? Whatever you desire is yours. All you have to do is imagine you have it, for everything in life is yours for the taking!

More From : ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE, Neville Goddard, 05-12-1969

" Say: "I am secure, I am wealthy, I am free." This may not be true based upon your senses, but I am simply asking you to say the words, for the moment you do you are subjectively appropriating security, wealth, and freedom. Reason will try to take these from you, so I ask you to play a little game with me. Go through the door and walk as though you are secure, wealthy, and free. Sleep this night as though it were true. If you do, you will not fall asleep seeing the world as you did last night, you will see it differently. If this morning someone gave you a check for $20,000 and you deposited it to your account, you would be $20,000richer, therefore you could not sleep tonight as you did before. Now, without waiting for someone to physically give you the money, go to bed as though it were true. Put Christ to the extreme test. If all things are possible to God and if all things are possible to the believer, can you believe? I am not saying you will succeed the first night, or even the second. Having been trained to accept only what your reason and senses dictate, you may find it difficult, almost impossible, to believe what you could believe - but you can!"

MANIFESTING (as described by Neville Goddard) part 9

MANIFESTING
(as described by Neville Goddard)
Revision 12/09/2003
By Shawn Regan

The 10 aspects of correct manifesting

8. Present Moment

Everything happens now. Even when you remember something it is a present memory of an past event. Correct prayer must be done in the present tense.
Feel yourself into the state of the thing desired now, not in some future time frame.

"What you must strive after is being. In order to do, it is necessary to be.
The end of yearning is to be." - Neville

"When you say, 'I AM,' you are declaring yourself to be, first person, present tense; there is no future. To know that I AM is to be conscious of being. Consciousness is the only door." - Neville

"Never visualize yourself at a distant point in time and space.
Make your action take place here and now ! The difference between feeling yourself act here and now and visualizing yourself in action as though on a movie screen, is the difference between success and failure." – Neville

" Feeling is the Secret" by Neville Goddard, part 9

“NOT by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.” Get into the spirit of the state desired by assuming the feeling that would be yours were you already the one you want to be. As you capture the feeling of the state sought, you are relieved of all effort to make it so, for it is already so. There is a definite feeling associated with every idea in the mind of man. Capture the feeling associated with your realized wish by assuming the feeling that would be yours were you already in possession of the thing you desire, and your wish will objectify itself.
Faith is feeling. “According to your faith (feeling) be it unto you.”
You never attract that which you want but always that which you are. As a man is, so does he see. “To him that hath it shall be given and to him that hath not it shall be taken away....”
That which you feel yourself to be you are, and you are given that which you are. So assume the feeling that would be yours were you already in possession of your wish, and your wish must be realized. “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him.” “Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God.”
You are that which you believe yourself to be.
Instead of believing in God or in Jesus believe you are God or you are Jesus. “He that believeth on me the works that I do shall he do also” should be “He that believes as I believe the works that I do shall he do also.”
Jesus found it not strange to do the works of God because he believed himself to be God. “I and my Father are one.” It is natural to do the works of the one you believe yourself to be. So live in the feeling of being the one you want to be and that you shall be.
When a man believes in the value of the advice given him and applies it, he establishes within himself the reality of success.

" Feeling is the Secret" by Neville Goddard, part 6

No matter what the problem is, no matter where it is, no matter whom it concerns, you have no one to change but yourself, and you have neither opponent nor helper in bringing about the change within yourself.
You have nothing to do but convince yourself of the truth of that which you desire to see manifested.
As soon as you succeed in convincing yourself of the reality of the state sought, results follow to confirm your fixed belief. You never suggest to another the state which you desire to see him express; instead you convince yourself that he is already that which you desire him to be.
Realization of your wish is accomplished by assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled.
You cannot fail unless you fail to convince yourself of the reality of your wish. A change of belief is confirmed by a change of expression. Every night as you drop off to sleep feel satisfied and spotless, for your subjective lover always forms the objective world in the image and likeness of your conception of it, the conception defined by your feeling.
The waking two-thirds of your life on earth ever corroborates or bears witness to your subconscious impressions. The actions and events of the day are effects; they are not causes. Free will is only freedom of choice. “Choose ye this day whom ye shall serve” is your freedom to choose the kind of mood you assume; but the expression of the mood is the secret of the subconscious. The subconscious receives impressions only through the feelings of man and in a way known only to itself gives these impressions form and expression. The actions of man are determined by his subconscious impressions. His illusion of free will, his belief in freedom of action, is but ignorance of the causes which make him act. He thinks himself free because he has forgotten the link between himself and the event.
Man awake is under compulsion to express his subconscious impressions. If in the past he unwisely impressed himself, then let him begin to change his thought and feeling, for only as he does so will he change his world. Do not waste one moment in regret, for to think feelingly of the mistakes of the past is to re-infect yourself. “Let the dead bury the dead.”

Turn from appearances and assume the feeling that would be yours were you already the one you wish to be.

Feeling a state produces that state. The part you play on the world’s stage is determined by your conception of yourself. By feeling your wish fulfilled and quietly relaxing into sleep, you cast yourself in a star role to be played on earth tomorrow, and while asleep you are rehearsed and instructed in your part.

The acceptance of the end automatically wills the means of realization. Make no mistake about this. If, as you prepare for sleep, you do not consciously feel yourself into the state of the answered wish, then you will take with you into the chamber of her who conceived you the sum total of the reactions and feelings of the waking day; and while asleep you will be instructed in the manner in which they will be expressed tomorrow. You will rise believing that you are a free agent, not realizing that every action and event of the day is predetermined by your concept of self as you fell asleep.
Your only freedom then is your freedom of reaction. You are free to choose how you feel and react to the day’s drama, but the drama the actions, events and circumstances of the day have already been determined.
Unless you consciously and purposely define the attitude of mind with which you go to sleep, you unconsciously go to sleep in the composite attitude of mind made up of all feelings and reactions of the day. Every reaction makes a subconscious impression and, unless counteracted by an opposite and more dominant feeling, is the cause of future action. Ideas enveloped in feeling are creative actions. Use your divine right wisely. Through your ability to think and feel you have dominion over all creation.
While you are awake you are a gardener selecting seed for your garden, but
“Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone; but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.”
Your conception of yourself as you fall asleep is the seed you drop into the ground of the subconscious. Dropping off to sleep feeling satisfied and happy compels conditions and events to appear in your world which confirm these attitudes of mind.
Sleep is the door into heaven. What you take in as a feeling you bring out as a condition, action, or object in space. So sleep in the feeling of the wish fulfilled.
“As in consciousness, so on earth.”

All things gravitate to that consciousness with which they are in tune.
Likewise, all things disentangle themselves from that consciousness with which
they are out of tune. Divide the wealth of the world equally among all men and
in a short time this equal division will be as originally dis portioned. Wealth
will find it's way back into the pockets of those from whom it was taken.
Instead of joining the chorus of the have-nots who insist on destroying those
who have, recognize this changeless law of expression. Consciously define
yourself as that which you desire.

Manifesting Your Heart's Desire, part 3

It is said not only in Metaphysical teachings but in the Bible as well "that even before one has asked, it shall be given". So just maybe, it really is meant to be fun and easy and enjoyable and blissful. Just maybe it is possible to manifest things more and more quickly until we all reach a point of literally pulling things out of thin air. Everything we could possibly need is already here. We shift our consciousness from one of lack to abundance and then abundance appears in our lives. We shift our focus from ill health to great health and that too appears in our lives. I know from personal experience that shifting from expecting problems to expecting the best produces
amazing results. And quickly too!


We are already literally pulling things to us out of the "unseen" that is Spirit. We I'm ress upon the Divine energy that is within us and every single thing we can name (and those things we are currently unaware of) what it is we desire either consciously or by default, and
here it comes. It has to. It is Universal Law. Every spiritual master down through the ages has stated this as absolute fact. They have also stated that it is truth that if they can do it, so can you and I.

Several years ago I was guided to fly to New York City for a week. I had no idea where the money would come from. New York is not the least expensive destination in the world and my bank balance certainly wasn't brimming over to the point where I could pay my bills and still
be able to take this journey. Yet when talking to friends about it, all of them, to the last man/woman said they had no worries that the money would come. Each of them saw me in NYC and enjoying myself and doing what ever it was I needed to be doing there. It just didn't
occur to any of them that I would not be able to afford to go. They were right. Money started coming from surprising sources. One friend suddenly sold her home that had been on the market for ages without even a nibble and yet suddenly, there it was selling which left her
flushed with abundance. Bless her, she shared some of that abundance with me "because of all you have done for me and because I love you" and that was the final amount I needed. Just recently another friend said to me "you have always been good at attracting to you what you
need" and upon reflection, I realized she was right! Each time I truly desired something in my life, it has manifested. Not always in ways I would have expected, yet it has manifested. Why? What was I doing that was empowering me to manifest and how could I better harness it so I
could manifest the really BIG things I have desired for years and yet still seem just a bit out of reach?

Cedarfire-"Secondary Gain: Keeping Your Reality From Manifesting" by Jeri Noble

Cedarfire-"Secondary Gain: Keeping Your Reality From Manifesting" by Jeri Noble:

"Secondary gain is a psychiatric term meaning that a person has a hidden reason for holding onto an undesirable condition. Frequently this reason is unconscious. It is obviously unconscious because the loss of holding onto the condition is often far greater than the perceived gain.
For example, this term is often used in chronic pain management. Chronic pain is pain that continues on past the time of an injury being healed, often having no apparent cause in the present. Finding and releasing the perception of secondary gain, such as the attention one receives, monetary compensation for disability, or just the need to deny the original cause of the pain, can greatly contribute to healing.
In metaphysics, we have found the term 'secondary gain' to be very helpful, particularly when we seem to run into barriers to manifesting our good. This occurs when we put a great deal of energy into visualizing, affirming and treating for a new level of good and it either doesn't happen or the situation actually gets worse. This is a signal that there may be an issue of secondary gain, that for some reason, our subconscious mind feels more secure staying in our disadvantaged state rather than going for improvement.
I've done a lot of work with a variety of different clients researching this phenomenon, and have found some interesting aspects to it."

The Healing Light - Agnes Sanford

Agnes Sanford (1897-1982) is considered to be one of the main founders of the Inner Healing Movement.
She was the daughter of a Presbyterian missionary in China and the wife of an Episcopal priest.
Her first book, 'The Healing Light', is considered a classic in it's field.....

The Healing Light
Agnes Sanford

If we try turning on an electric iron and it does not work, we look to the wiring of the iron, the cord, or the house. We do not stand in dismay before the iron and cry, "Oh, electricity, please come into my iron and make it work!" We realize that while the whole world is full of that mysterious power we call electricity, only the amount that flows through the wiring of the iron will make the iron work for us.

The same principle is true of the creative energy of God. The whole universe is full of it, but only the amount of it that flows through our own beings will work for us.

We have tried often to make this creative power flow through us, saying, "Oh, God, please do this or that!" And He has not done this or that, so we have concluded that there is no use in prayer, because God, if there is such a Being, will do as He likes regardless of our wishes. In other words, we doubt the willingness or the ability of God to actually produce within our lives and bodies the results that we desire. We do not doubt our own ability to come into His presence and fill ourselves with Him, but His willingness to come into us and fill us with Himself.

My baby had been ill for six weeks with abscessed ears. I prayed desperately that God would heal the child. My mind was filled with thoughts of fear and of bitterness, and these are not of God. God is love, and perfect love casts out fear. So God could not go through me to heal my baby, for there was a break in the pipeline that connected me with Him.

Nevertheless, in His great kindness He did what He could for me. He sent me one of His own ministers. The minister was a young man, ruddy-faced, clear-eyed, full of normal, healthy interest in people and in life.

"I'll go up and have a prayer with him," he said.

"I don't think that will do any good," I replied wearily. 'He's only a year and a half old. He wouldn't understand."

What I really thought was, "If God doesn't answer my prayers, why would He answer this minister's prayers?"

"Oh, that won't matter," cried the minister, disregarding my feeble protests. He went upstairs.

Light shone in his eyes. I looked at him and saw his joyfulness, and I believed. For joy is the heavenly "O.K." on the inner life of power. No dreary, long-faced minister could have channeled God's healing to my baby, and it was the joy on the minister's face that called forth my faith. Looking on him I knew that he had been with the One who came to give us His joy, and so I knew that the baby would be well.

The minister placed his hands upon the baby's ears and said, "Now you close your eyes and go to sleep. I'm going to ask God to come into your ears and make them well, and when you wake up you'll be all right."

He did ask God exactly that, in the simplest possible way. He closed his prayer by saying, "We thank you, Heavenly Father, because we know that this is being done. Amen."

The fever-flush died out of the baby's face immediately. He turned very pale, closed his eyes and slept. When he woke, he was well. And he never again has had abscessed ears.

This incident turned on the light for me in the world that had grown very dark with futility. It showed me that God is an active and powerful reality. True, I understood very little about Him. I merely thought that the visiting minister had the gift of healing. Now I know that he had no gift except that which is open to all of us, the infinite gift of the life of God Himself. God's water of life could rush through him, for the pipeline between his spirit and God's spirit was intact. He was in harmony with God. The life of God flowed through him, and could therefore be turned on by him for the healing of a child. He knew it, and therefore had the courage to speak with authority.

"We thank you because we know that this is being done," he had said, adding the word, "Amen (So be it)," a word of command. All prayers end with "Amen," but usually the word is meaningless. The people who utter it do not in the least intend to send forth a command so positive that they would dare to say, "When he wakes he will be all right." This is one reason many prayers do not seem to be answered.

God is both within us and without us. He is the source of all life; the creator of universe behind universe; and of unimaginable depths of inter-stellar space and of light-years without end. But He is also the indwelling life of our own little selves. And just as a whole world full of electricity will not light a house unless the house itself is prepared to receive that electricity, so the infinite and eternal life of God cannot help us unless we are prepared to receive that life within ourselves. Only the amount of God that we can get in us will work for us.

"The kingdom of God is within you," said Jesus. And it is the indwelling light, the secret place of the consciousness of the Most High that is the kingdom of Heaven in its present manifestation on this earth. Learning to live in the kingdom of Heaven is learning to turn on the light of God within.

We must learn that God is not an unreasonable and impulsive sovereign who breaks His own laws at win. As soon as we learn that God does things through us (not for us), the matter becomes as simple as breathing, as inevitable as sunrise.

"But God is omnipotent!" some people say. "He can do anything He likes! " Certainly, but He has made a world that runs by law, and He does not like to break those laws.

Few of us in the north would ask God to produce a full-blown rose out of doors in January. Yet He can do this very thing, if we adapt our greenhouses to His laws of heat and light, so as to provide the necessities of the rose. And He can produce a full-blown answer to prayer if we adapt our earthly tabernacles to His laws of love and faith so as to provide the necessities of answered prayer.

Some day the world will come to understand this fact, as it is now beginning to understand the miracle of light waves, for one generation's miracles are the commonplaces of another generation.

Some day we will understand the principles that underlie the miracle-working powers of God, and we will accept His intervention as simply and naturally as we do the radio and television that cause us to see and hear a person far away both in space and in time.
