We must bring our mechanical use
of the Law under the control of Spiritual Wisdom, for knowledge without wisdom
might be dangerous. Only when wisdom speaks through knowledge can knowledge
produce permanent freedom.
– Ernest Holmes Change Your
Thinking Change Your Life
The law of attraction is that we
all attract to us whatever we think of with complete attention accompanied by
strong feeling, regardless of intention. Electricity can light a room, cook
a meal, or electrocute a person. It is a dangerous power for children and the
untaught to play with. Similarly, the law of attraction brings our fears and
attracts all manner of difficulty to the unwise.
Holmes also states, “The more
power one gives to his thought, the more completely he believes that his
thought has power, the more power will it have.” Learning the law of attraction
without learning to use it wisely, without compassion for others, or clearing
from active memory every hurt or hatred sets us up for attracting disaster in
the guise of wealth.
How many famous, talented people
have gained notoriety by attracting affairs and addictions? Men and women
attract money and discover that in the process they have destroyed their health
or their relationships by being narrowly focused and unaware that they could as
easily have the total prosperity package. Attracting any aspect of prosperity
without including the whole package is dangerous and destructive to others and to
us.
Living a completely prosperous
life is not only desirable it is possible and far easier to experience than
most people know. We have to understand that one person’s prosperity to be
complete must include the prosperity of others. I don’t mean that we shoulder
the burden of world hunger or world peace as our sole responsibility. I do mean
that when we think about prosperity, we must get the feeling that the universe
has so much and we have so much that there is always plenty left over. This is
true for physical health, calling or career, finding the love of our life, and
enjoying the lavish wealth, which allows us complete personal and social
freedom.
When we ignore any one area or
believe that we need to take from others, we attract difficulty in that area
and never attain satisfaction in our lives. The truly prosperous life we enjoy
as a game where in our minds everyone plays, enjoys, and wins. I recently saw a
post about the stress of trying to create win win situations. We have little or
no stress and definitely no distress when we begin with the idea that we are
all winners or we would not be here. Think about the swimmers.
The law, any law is a description
of a mechanical force and we may use any law for our benefit when we understand
how. Life, Love, Intelligence, or the Spirit, which lives in all, is equally
important to the laws that we use to express and attract our prosperity. They
are essential to each other. Without laws, Spirit is empty feeling. Without
Spirit, laws have no direction. Without both, we have no existence. Feel the
feelings that are most creative and use them with wisdom to create the life
that is most fulfilling.
Now, I let the Infinite teach me
the wisdom to use law to attract only my highest and best directly from It. Knowing
there is abundant left for everyone else, I delight in all I find for it is
good and very good. 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
