In the same way it is the nature of the Receptive to be
consistently yielding, to follow the line of least resistance, and therefore to
be simple. Complications arise only from an inner conflict of motives. ― I
Ching Wilhelm / Baynes Edition
Easy flows of prosperity
experiences result from allowing the good of each moment, of each situation,
and of each person to appear naturally in the course of living fully. I
mentioned earlier that we need clear decisions that we are prosperous and how
we are prosperous. Now, we follow through on those decisions by noticing their
reality in all things and events. Simply knowing the end is secure in our own
minds is sufficient for the Receptive to allow only those ends to appear.
Because we incorporate both
Creative and Receptive in our makeup, we can creatively decide what we are
receptive to and choose first to be receptive to our own choices without
rejecting the benefits of other possibilities. With God not only are all things
possible, but they work together for our good in ways we cannot perceive under
normal circumstances. Who knows all of the handling and movement of a single
letter? We only know the sending and the receiving; and, with God, we know
perfect efficient effectiveness in the accomplishments of what we send.
I hear people tell me after the
fact that they knew beforehand that something specific would happen. Either they
tuned in to their own receptivity to what someone else had initiated with a
creative thought or their very knowing, was the creative thought and synchronously
their receptivity. Both eventualities are possible and equally likely.
Within a mile of my home, there
are more than a half-dozen professional psychics. In some areas of town, they
have offices side by side with each other, competing for business and by the
looks of their signs and locations doing all right. I never see their clientele
and I tell my own clients that if they want to know the future, they should
decide it, design it, and beginning now, they should live the unfolding
experiences of it.
Our future emerges from within
the context of our beliefs and actions in a continuously evolving way as we
make each decision and allow each outcome. As the breath in becomes the breath
out with assured regularity, the memories that we cherish coupled with the
thoughts and feelings that we entertain yield our expectancy, which opens us to
that specific future we expect. Our constant shift between hopes, faiths, and
fears do make predicting our future difficult but with practice we can learn to
allow only the events and experiences we desire to reach their fruition.
When a decision looms relax and
decide with inner claim for good and only good. We may follow a course through
life that resembles the zigzag of a tacking schooner but if we stay focused on
the goal of our intention with attachment only to the end and complete
receptivity to any means, we find the means are harmonious with our good and
with the good of the world at large.
Now I decide my future is the
perfect evolution of my present into the ideal of my dreams. I release my
creative thought to the receptive medium of Law, which simply produces it in
the best possible way and so it is.

“First
you ask definitely for direction, then it will enter your consciousness as a
definite thought; then in your turn you give it back the thought and it will
give you back the thing. It answers every question, solves every problem; it is
the solution to every difficulty.” Ernest Holmes
