By reviewing beliefs and feelings, you begin to understand how to use the Universal Law effectively. It is natural to yearn for the impossible and, in so doing, you establish strong beliefs about what can be done and what cannot.

You can jump a certain height and no higher, run at a certain speed and no faster, accept a certain position and no better.

Because most commercial aircraft fly at about 600 miles an hour, the shortest time in which you can get from New York to Paris is about six hours. Those are facts in the collective unconscious. But what if we told you of a man who could move his body many thousands of miles in just a few seconds?

Your mind would scan its memory banks and draw a blank, whereupon you might think, impossible. Then perhaps you might review all the scientific data available and conclude that this feat is unachievable.

All scientific knowledge and current thinking are products of the same collective unconscious, and just the fact that a billion people have no concept of a man moving three thousand miles in a few seconds makes it impossible. But the billions of people are wrong.

There is a dimension, right here on the earth plane, in which such a feat is possible, and there are a few people alive today who know of this dimension and use it. It is a matter of perception and belief.

Your ability to work miracles is predicated entirely on how easily and quickly you can give the collective unconscious the slip. It is your attachment to the collective unconscious, or world belief patterns, that holds you back.

This attachment, which you accepted at birth, is your main challenge in life, and your spiritual goal is to step above it. Eventually, you realize that, in order to become part of a higher consciousness, you have to leave where you are right now and step into the unknown.

That is why all the tales of the path of the initiate talk about loneliness, for as you move away from old energy, there is a sense of loss.

As you take that step, your perceptions expand gradually to accept a higher vibration of self, and you understand that what others believe is a part of their evolution, but it is not the sum total of all the facts.

We experience life through the five senses, “the windows of the soul,” and we are taught what capacity those senses have. Yet, each of them has a dimension that is many times deeper than is normally perceived, and those dimensions will open for you as you move toward them.

Let us look at feelings. Through feelings, you can enter into other worlds, and clairsentiousness (a heightened sense of feelings) is a capacity you can learn to develop quite quickly. It is not as acute as extrasensory sight, but it is deep and, through it, you enter into areas of perception that few people ever experience.

Everything around you is energy — your body, its various organs, your thoughts, the physical place you inhabit, the events of your life — each expresses an energy. A part of that energy is perceivable through the five senses, but most of it is beyond normal perception.

By opening to the power of the Universal Law and controlling the mind through centering and discipline, you become aware of the subtlety of energies around you. You will find that you can use your feelings to guide you through life. As you move into a situation, push your feeling into whatever lies ahead.

How does it feel? What is the Universal Law saying to you? Which area flows, and which does not? After a while, this exercise becomes simple and very accurate. You may not be able to see all the subtle energies around you, but you can learn to feel them, and soon you will find that information from the Universal Law has a way of jumping at you unexpectedly.

Events in your life gather energy as they come towards you, and you can feel that energy weeks and even years before they occur. Science will tell you it is not possible to foresee the future, and that is true for those who believe it to be so, but as you move out of the world’s “group perception,” feeling and even seeing the future will become second nature to you.

To harness the Universal Law effectively, you should watch its manifestation, which is basically every event in your life. Then link each event to your underlying feelings and attitudes.

Realize that when things go well, it is solely because you put that image into the Universal Law as a shipping clerk in a large mail-order company. He gets your order but has no idea who you are. If the order says “size 8,” he sends out size 8. It is of no concern to him whether or not size 8 fits you. He merely complies with your request.

In daily life, your feelings, thoughts, and attitudes are your order form, so before you decide to change your present conditions, you will have to be very sure what you want from life. The Universal Law reacts spastically to uncertain messages. You have to write clearly, and you have to be ready to accept whatever you are looking for.

Let us say you want to win a large sum of money, give up your job, and spend the rest of your days lying in the sun. You dream about the cash, and you sigh and say, “Wouldn’t it be lovely.”

But is that actually what you want? You might very soon find yourself bored and, though your mind would like to lounge in the sun, the inner you might say, “I should have stayed where I was; there was more potential there.”

Creating energy for yourself through the Universal Law is not just a matter of wishing for things, willy-nilly. You have to realize that the power is within you, and once you take the first step toward it, whatever you create will be for your highest good. It might not be exactly what you thought you wanted, but you had better be ready for the consequences.

Before embarking on a miracle “action plan,” you ought to spend some time meditating on the conditions or material objects you want. The Universal Law is the shipping clerk waiting for your clear and concise order. The currency with which you are going to pay for it is belief.

To create something with absolute certainty, you have to establish the feeling within you that it has already happened — that the condition you desire is already a part of your life. This can be hard because your mind, knowing nothing about the workings of the Law, fights back.

You affirm, “I am rich,” and your mind contradicts, “You’re not.” The conflict that develops confuses the Universal Law, which is about to deliver your heart’s desire. This clash of opposing energies has been the challenge of the would-be initiate since the beginning of time. It is the hunt for the Grail, or the slaying of the dragon.

It states that no one enters the kingdom of heaven within until he has tamed the dragon of negativity that he inherited from the collective unconscious. Figuratively, you will have to leave the earth plane even though you may still be very much a part of physical reality. Dimensions are not out there someplace between you and the stars; they are inner worlds or inner journeys.

These journeys have an inner reality and an outer manifestation in the physical, so anything you can conceive is actually a part of you right now. The fact that you do not have it on hand matters not. Whatever it is that you conceive is in a state of gradually becoming. If you affirm, “I am rich,” you have to start feeling rich, thinking rich, and holding a rich attitude.

Walk around expensive stores, have coffee in the best hotel in town, begin to act and feel as if you already have the vast fortune you know the Universal Law is about to deliver to you. In this way, you create a concrete reality of wealth within your inner journey, and it will become manifest in your outer journey, the physical world. If you can maintain that feeling and power and live as if your wish has already been granted by the Universal Law, your wish will be delivered, guaranteed.

But you cannot be half-hearted, or you will dissipate your personal power and nothing will happen. You have to take to the path like a warrior. You are going to achieve your goal. No matter what confronts you, no matter where you are right now, no matter what adversity you face, you will reach your objective.

The Universal Law does not care whether you have your heart’s desire or not. Therefore, you might as well make up your mind to collect.

You can have anything you want, and when you create it, it becomes yours. Often we feel we do not deserve success or wealth or complete health or anything else we might yearn for. We are taught in childhood that we are not worthy, or that somehow we owe something to society or the physical plane, or that we have some kind of special sin that we should atone for before we can enjoy what we want out of life.

This is not the case. The Law does not discriminate. It receives your energy and delivers diamonds or plain rocks, depending on what you put in. It is very important to look at the negative feelings you have about yourself. It is easy to say, “Oh, I never win anything,” or “I am too old; they will never hire me,” or “I can never be with that person; I am not pretty enough.”

That kind of thinking is indicative of the mind and its “logical” advice.

Miracles are not logical, so the last thing you need is logical advice from the mind. When such advice is given, acknowledge the mind, thank it, and say, “I do not accept any energy that is contrary to the unlimited power that lies within me,” then press on.

Infinite power is so magnanimous, so powerful, so much more than the mind, that it exists in a separate dimension, and that is why the mind has difficulty perceiving that it is even there. You will get an intuition or feeling or a rush of excitement, but that is all.

You cannot really hear it, touch it, or taste it, but it comes ‘round the mind like a breeze, and when it starts to work in your life, you will know it by the quality of the people and events that surround you.

Finally, the Universal Law is in balance and harmony by its very nature. And so, as you set out on your “action plan,” you will not be able to infringe on others. Whatever you create will have to be for yourself. You cannot will the Universal Law on to others, saying, “I want this to happen to my friend.”

This would be infringing, because, not knowing the nature of your friend’s heroic life plan, you are not entitled to change it or in any way alter what he is going through at this time. He has to experience life for himself, as he also has unlimited power within him, and a part of his growth pattern is discovering that fact.

Within the Universal Law, there is no dual energy, good and bad, saints and sinners. There is just energy — one power that pervades all things, and

everything is a part of the power. Differentiation between good and evil is just your perception, for within real energy there is no judgment.

There is high energy and not-so-high energy, and at the end of this life you will have the opportunity to review what you have achieved, which will be a matter of how much you have succeeded in centering your life in a discipline of perceiving the Living Spirit, and using it. But your review will not be emotional.

You will be looking at the quality (or speed, if you like) of the energy you created. If you have harmed others, you have impeded your evolution by decelerating the life force within you. That is your karmic energy, and someday you will have to understand that it was not your highest path. but you cannot judge others, because, since the energy your mind perceives does not incorporate the nature of their heroic goal, you have no way of knowing that what they are going through is not exactly what they need karmically for their growth at this infinite point in their evolution.

There are no accidents or victims. Each person is responsible for his own evolution. Each pulls to himself the circumstances experienced in life. He puts in an order, so to speak, and gets back three cracked cups. That is a part of the learning pattern, trial and error.

This lifetime in yours. You may be involved in relationships and love others, but basically what you make of your life and how you pass through it is your evolution. We all learn to take responsibility for our own circumstances, and, within the Universal Law, we are not expected to take responsibility for the evolution of others. It might sound a bit harsh, but in the Law there is incredible clarity and justice.

That is why adversity is so useful. It allows people to look for something beyond day-to-day reality, and this brings them in touch with their true inner selves. In desperation, they begin to pull on their unlimited power, and they realize that anything can be changed, that suffering is a product of the inner self, and, by looking at their inner selves, they can transform them.

It has been said that there are no incurable diseases, only incurable people, and this is true of all energy within the Universal Law. Trying to fix your circumstances just physically or mentally will not work in the long run because deep-rooted inconsistencies will continue to surface in your life in various guises. To overcome something once and for all means going within yourself to discover the real causes of the disturbance.

This process or discovery will allow you more energy, which you can use to create the things you want in your life.
