This section of the book will challenge many people’s belief systems. I will no doubt risk being called blasphemous, a Devil-worshipper and goodness know what else, but I believe it is time that the Secret of Life is revealed and that suffering in this world stops for those who choose.
Not everyone is ready for this, and that’s perfectly OK; it’s your journey, after all. What I want to discuss here is my own life path, and that after many years of studying, how I finally learned how to turn my turmoil into joy. You can, too -- if you are ready.
Who is God? You are! All religions teach that God made us in His image. What do you think that means? If God made us in His image, why, then, does He punish us for man-made laws? Tell me: If God is a loving Father, why would he send some of us to Hell? If God made us in His image, surely, then, we are Him. Yet again, if He gave us free will, why does He “punish” us when we use it?
God does not “punish” us. Because we all contain that spark of God within us, we create our own situations from the free will that we are given, and sometimes, when we make the wrong decisions, we suffer. That is our only “punishment.” We bring it on ourselves! Of course we can ask God to help us out of whatever quagmire or difficulty we find ourselves in, and He will always hear us; but because so much of who God is, is within us, we have to take responsibility for our own life and the decisions we make. We must also remember to treat ourselves with kindness when we do make a mistake – because learning from experience is the only reason we’re all here to begin with!
This is a very important part of using affirmations; a crucial step is using the words “I AM”. For example, write on a piece of paper, “I am attracting into my life (fill in your desire here).”
When you use the Law of Attraction and stay in a positive vibration, you can't help but attract more money, more abundance, more love, you name it -- into your life!
Understand that this will take some time, and be patient with yourself. Don’t expect the Universe to immediately rotate on its axis in your favor! Just slowly change your thinking until your thoughts become a belief, making sure that you truly FEEL optimism, hope, joy, etc.
When I discovered the power of the words “I Am,” it was like a bolt of lightening struck through me. Again, because God is in all things, the greatest force in the Universe, and you are part of that force, when you affirm that “I Am,” you are actually aligning yourself with God; The Source, The Creator. When you use these words, you are using the most powerful words in the Universe.
Sounds very simple, doesn’t it? I believe a lot of people have trouble making their plans and dreams manifest in their lives because they think that the process has to be a difficult, winding path or that it requires a great deal of work and is extremely complex and complicated. It’s just not so! It’s deceptively simple, which causes a lot of people to miss the point entirely!
Religions and political or religious leaders throughout history have tried to hide this truth from you – that you are all-powerful and all-loving, and that you can attract anything that you want through belief. If everyone were taught to believe this, the churches would break down. Yet God wants you to remember your Truth and Who You Really Are. These are some tips on how to turn your life around:
Create your vision statement. This is an essay of your life as you would like it to be. You already know what it is like to daydream; you have done it many times. But now, you can really have some fun!
Start by imagining that what you are daydreaming about can become your reality. It is possible, but you have to be vigilant and committed to making this work.
What is your perfect life? Where do you want to live? Who do you live with? What sort of clothes would you like to wear? Where do you want to go on holidays? Where do you work, and what kind of work do you do? How much money do you have in the bank?
Remember: Do not let any doubt enter into your thoughts. When you doubt, you send out the message to the Universe that you don't believe that you deserve, and that immediately negates your good, vibrational thoughts. Wear a rubber band on your wrist, and whenever you find yourself doubting, feeling negative, stressed, jealous, grumpy, angry, sad, depressed, bored, or worried, snap the rubber band as a warning sign to your Higher Self – and that it is in danger!
