I INCREASE, YOU INCREASE, WE ALL INCREASE

"Law of Increase -- What we put the energy of our thoughts into will increase. To obtain increase we must maintain an attitude of increase toward others. We must rejoice in their joy as they receive increase."

I was watching the movie-The Pursuit of Happyness yesterday. By the end of the movie, having felt the pain, angst, challenge, strength, and perverance of Chris Gardner...I was in empathic ecstasy when he was offered the position of stock brocker at Dean Witter. The thought occurred to me...I am so glad that I can be happy for other people instead of jealous or angry; that I can connect with another's plight or reward without any gain for myself, other than the fantastic feeling I was experiencing. I think that in order to feel happy for others there has to be a connection to happiness in our own lives. This increase is what our thoughts are doing every moment of every day. What are you thinking about? Are you present and enjoying the moment, believing that you are blessed? Or are you feeling ripped off by life? Why is it that the person in the next cubicle always gets the good jobs and the massive praise? Thoughts become things. Feelings control thoughts when we aren't consciously aware of them. It is time to take control of your thoughts and gain perspective on life and what you have. If you don't believe me...watch the movie! It will help you to regain a perspective of gratitude...because there but for the grace of God go I. Take a moment to see your life, your divinity, your blessings for what they are. If you can read this, if you are on a computer, if you have a place to sleep tonight...then life is pretty good right now. I'm not saying that the occasional pity party won't happen. They certainly happen for me! But they serve as a notice. It's time to resurrect myself into a place of proper thinking...increasing gratitude is where I want to be. As mentioned byMichael Beckwith..."The Universe will correspond to the nature of your song."

Universal Law of Help.. help!

"Law of Help -- Ask and you will receive help. When other ask you for help, give it."

In the words of Jesus, 'Ye have not, because ye ask not'.
Sometimes we just have to scream (or whisper) h-e-l-p! And be open to receive the answers & the assistance.
I'm reminded of when I lived in Florida & my (agnostic) grandson came to spend a week with me. I say he's agnostic because he has a lot of good questions about religion & spirituality.. & that's all right! It's when we blindly follow every belief in the market, that we get into trouble.
So he & I were going to the beach for the day. When we got to the beach parking area, there wasn't a space to be had.
I said, more to myself than to him.. 'Well, we'll just have to ask the parking angels to find us a space.'
Alec groaned & said, 'Grandma you know I don't believe in that stuff'.
I said, 'I do.. so watch this'.
We started to circle the lot again when lo & behold an empty space appeared.
His eyes got big when I thanked the parking angels. Sometimes one just has to 'ask'.

There's nothing too large or too small to ask help with, since our happiness is at stake. A benevolent Universe wants only to make 'happy'. Who could ask for more.. then go ahead & ask.. for MORE!

*And when others ask you for help, return the favor. It'll come back to you ten-fold. I promise.

LAW OF HARMONY...Let it Flow

The Law of Harmony...(Law of Rhythm)
This is closely related to the law of vibration...However, harmony/rhythm is motion and all motion within the universe is dominated by a particular flowing order. This particular flowing order produces the various manifestations of the universe...
While everything is in the state of vibration there must be a rhythmic consistency to produce a specific manifestation. The key to awareness is to understand how the regulate this vibration, thus changing the motion/rhythm and producing an orderly harmonious flow...
This is the law people encounter the most when they find themselves trying "to force something into happening"... Their actions create vibrations that often prevent the desired affect or change from taking place... The law of harmony therefore reminds us that when we reach those states where we're tempted to try to "force things into happening" that we should instead try to find ways to become more in "rapport" with the universe rather than fighting it's efforts.

This law ties in several of the previous laws...energy, dharma, and desire. Sometimes our desire is misaligned because of our addictions or compulsive behaviors with the natural Universal Flow that is always working. This is where self sabotage comes into the picture. The universe may be taking us down a path and our fears or compulisve behaviors may try to stop Universal flow or maybe even try to reroute it. We do not let go and let God, if you will. Or maybe we desire something so much that we try and squeeze the squareness of our desires into the roundness of our reality. This always leaves us frustrated or in situations that are not ultimately for our greatest good. When we live in Harmony with the Universe, always working on greater awareness of mind, body, and spiritual health, we live more in peace, joy, and contentment. When we feel the rumblings from the underbelly and peace is not felt, that is when we should take a closer look at our thought process, compulsive behaviors, and remain open to where the current may be trying to take you. Are you getting in your own way of having everything you desire because of a deeper feeling of inadequacy? It's all a learning process. That is why we are here. All we can do is stay aware, live in the moment, and go with the flow...

The Law of Healing..

"Law of Healing -- Healing energy is within us. Divine power turns on the healing energy within us to heal us and to pass through us to heal others."

I fully believe that we make 'pre-life' contracts for the lessons we want to learn in our next incarnation. For some of us, that includes life altering illnesses, deformities, &/or innumerable special-needs. We seek out the gifts that the challenges offer.
For example, it is why people can say 'The worst day of my life was when I was diagnosed w/ cancer. Yet, the best day of my life was when I was diagnosed w/ cancer.. because I truly began to live.'
And that type of life lesson cannot be obtained in any other way. You requested the lesson & you received the blessing from it.

That is not particularly what this specific law of healing is about. Although, I'm sure it could be, if you asked for that 'cup to pass from you'.. & desired healing; foregoing the life lesson. We do have freewill, after all.
What I wish to convey is that healing 'energy' that resides in us & through us. Some call it a 'Kundilini' power.. an energy that resides in the base of the spine, which we may call up, almost serpent-like through the spine, up through the 7th chakra at the crown of the head. Others think of healing power as residing in the 'soul', still others see it in the 'heart chakra'. Wherever you feel this power... it is a real & viable force.
Christ told his followers that they had the same healing powers that He did, & even 'Greater works shall ye do in my name'. The Divine DNA runs through us all.. & we have the right to tap into this healing power.
Intercessory prayer is also a powerful tool in the healing realm. Tests are still going on to prove that cardiac patients do better when they have received intercessory prayer on their behalf.. some call this 'long distance' prayer, & the recipient doesn't have to be known to the person interceding with healing prayers.

Disease or 'dis-ease' in the spiritual-seeker's life can be healed! We have only to ask.. & to thank our Higher Power for the healing. Like a magnet, we attract that which we want. See yourself as the whole, healthy person you want to be, & you ARE that person.
Treat your physical body as the temple it is, & watch divine healing stream through your being.

And at the end of your days, when the body is ready to transition to your energy 'home'.. know that even what some call 'death' is the ultimate healing.
What wonderful beings we are!
