Another phase of the power of
agreement is to agree with the good in an adverse situation even when it’s in
the past. When you are no longer disturbed by its existence – in fact or in
your memories – it then can finally leave your life, often quickly. When you
agree with a situation by pronouncing it good – whether it seems good or not –
you are agreeing with the unseen good in the situation. You are opening the way
for it to appear.
― Catherine Ponder Open Your
Mind to Receive
With light step, as if earth and
its trammels had little power to restrain him, a young man in gorgeous
vestments pauses at the brink of a precipice among the great heights of the
world; he surveys the blue distance before him-its expanse of sky rather than
the prospect below. His act of eager walking is still indicated, though he is
stationary at the given moment; his dog is still bounding. The edge which opens
on the depth has no terror; it is as if angels were waiting to uphold him, if
it came about that he leaped from the height.
― Rider-Waite Tarot: The Fool
When we do not agree, we seldom
just ignore, we resist. The more we resist, the more difficult we find life
unfolding for us. If we live in a universe of infinite possibility, which I believe
is true, what you believe, and what I believe may differ and still be effective
beliefs. I have read many opinions on smart investing that were exactly
opposite of each other, yet the investors that followed the advice of each,
often prospered greatly in stocks and/or bonds.
I have seen people healed by
prayer alone and others after intense medical involvement. When I feel uncomfortable,
I shift my position without disagreeing with the chair. If I have a pain, I
acknowledge it, agree with its information, pray, and sometimes take a pill.
Have you ever noticed that a headache becomes more painful when you fight
against it? Disagreement constricts the flow of blood while agreement
stimulates greater relaxation and flow.
The Fool in the Tarot lives in
such agreement and harmony with the world that he is fearless. His fearlessness
attracts the often unseen assistance that the 91st Psalm describes
with: “For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your
ways; they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your
foot against a stone.” Being in agreement means trusting the beneficence of
Spirit to always guide, guard, and provide.
Because now is the only time,
memory and anticipation exist only in this moment. When we agree with our past
as having served us and agree that our present is unfolding as our growing
experience of prosperity, we create immediate agreement with the good of our
future and act in agreement so receive what we agree to receive.
Now, I agree with my limitless
potential to prosper. I agree that every seeming failure, delay,
misunderstanding, or loss has resulted and continues to generate the good,
better, and best of my life. I agree that even when I lack complete conscious
inventory of all the pertinent data, something within me, my Divine ensures my
success and security. Call it karma or call it angels beside me but I live in
agreeable harmony with my world and only good appears in my life 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
