What we affirm is that there is
an Absolute at the center of everything. This Absolute, in no way, contradicts
the relative. We affirm that God is perfect, that the spiritual man is perfect,
that we are surrounded by Spiritual Substance which responds to thought
impulses and that there is an immutable Law governing everything.
– Ernest
Holmes How To Use The Power For Good
Do we control our environment,
the effects of our life with our felt convictions and dominant thoughts? Quantum
physicists say that because the effect of observation occurs only in controlled
situations and minute scale but does not occur in the macrocosm of Newtonian
physics, we do not. Metaphysicians on the other hand, claim that there is an
Absolute Intelligence, which permeates all energy and matter and, which thinks
and knows on both a universal and individual scale, which provides a reason
that we do control events with thought.
What is true for sure is the fact
that every situation carries the possibility for someone to prosper, that the
potential for prosperity as conditions that support us and circumstances that
reveal our state of mind prevail if we think one way or dry up and disappear if
we think a different way. At this point, exit pseudo-quantum mechanics and
enter ideas of clearer perception of what we see based on the convictions we
bring to seeing. If we don’t look for the value, we most likely miss the value
and therefore do not prosper from the immediate opportunities, which are always
before us. But, with our mind-set oriented towards noticing the possibilities,
we find them everywhere.
The flip of a coin repeated over
time has a probability of landing either heads or tails 50% of the time. Nobody
ever guesses or predicts which side all of the time. Now, an experimenter set
up a random binary generator connected to an on-off switch for a heating lamp
in a shed. As predicted by probability theory and the law of averages, over
time the lamp was on or off 50% of the time. A cat got into the shed. During
the time that the cat was present, the lamp was on the majority of the time.
Did the cat’s innate desire for warmth influence the binary generator to shift
from random?
What I know is that people I know
have had and I have had seemingly impossible answers to prayer manifest in
amazing unpredictable ways. While it is true that a certain line of reasoning
results in an equally certain pattern of action by the thinker; at times, all
of the action takes place outside of the activity of the one who has prayed and
comes through unspecified, even unexpected channels. So, the thinker’s sole
actions were intention, formulation of the desire's description, thoughts of
expectancy of the results, yielding of the whole thought process to a believed
in Presence or Law, and finally an active presence of mind to see and accept
the fully manifest answer in tangible form.
Pick the answer that best serves
you and experiment with it.
I rely on the Absolute by
noticing that the One is always one and that I am that One relatively speaking
and therefore I may use all of Its knowing to solve and or create my answers and
fully realize all of my potential prosperity as my actual experience here and
now. This thought and this experience thrill me with gratitude as I allow my
potential to be my actual now 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
