We have a perfect right to use it
for personal advancement and to bring happiness and success into our
experience. We should use law definitely and with full assurance that this seed
of conscious thought will be received by a creative intelligence which will
produce a harvest that we can reap in due season.

Prosperity is a specific view of
a universal law of cause and effect, which exists to us only as a latent
possibility until we specialize it. The generality with which the world speaks
of prosperity makes it seem as if it has almost every meaning from sinful
covetous greed to self-realized, fearless, empowered, and generous life styles.
When we recognize that prosperity is the beginning, the process, and the result,
we become free to choose our unique prosperity experience.
We want to impose two limits on our use
of prosperity as the law of cause and effect in our lives. First, our choices
must be in harmony with all natural law or else we encounter blocks and
problems at every point where there is disharmony. Second, because of the nature
of all cause and effect, what we seek for others returns to us so we must only
seek the wellbeing of everyone we think of while working mentally for our own
personal prosperity experience. True prosperity knows no competition or
opposition but reveals that we all are essential to the best life for each
other.
A consciousness of Spirit is our
supply. This consciousness contains nothing of conflict and everything of
mutual benefit. Salute, praise, and bless anyone’s success. Did someone buy the
house you wanted? Did someone receive the promotion you desired? Did the “love
of your life” leave you and marry another? You may not know now and you may not
know how but those occurrences opened your way to greater prosperity than you
dreamed.
Specializing prosperity means
that we select the home, family, and career that is our own. It means that we
define our experience with detailed description but without names, addresses,
or any other limitations. In demonstrating various objects and experiences in
my own life, I discovered that describing in detail or vividly visualizing me
desire, I shifted my awareness to discover what I desired in ways that often
surprised me but always matched and enhanced what I thought about.
My mental equivalents or
spiritual prototypes always include that what I wish to demonstrate manifests
in loving quiet ways. In that way, I eliminate any chance of conflict. I always
claim my own, which means I know that it is new or if used as in a fine home,
it is on the market at my price and terms when I am ready to buy. I look for my
good that comes through others as prospering all involved.
When I need a specific amount of
money, I claim it and receive it. When I lift myself to the idea of cash and
carry financial freedom, I find ready cash and interestingly, many gifts. If I
admire the way someone looks, I affirm that I find clothing and my own pleasing
look but I don’t seek theirs. I specify my own prosperity my way and enjoy it.
I am aware of my consciousness of
Spirit as my supply so I continually expand my consciousness of Spirit and
discover Spirit in all people and things. Now, I clearly specialize my
consciousness of Spirit as prosperity; and the prosperity law of cause and
effect reveal to me and bring me to my own unique prosperity 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
