Just as there are universal physical laws such as electricity, gravity, etc. that serve us when we are in alignment with the underlying principle that governs them; likewise, there are universal spiritual laws that are consistently operating in our lives, whether we are aware of them or not, that may serve us.
Individuals resonate with Truth Principles differently. Philosophers ponder, scientists explore, mystics meditate, while metaphysicians imagine what lies beyond all physical appearances. When great thinkers consistently reach the same conclusion, they uncover an infallible principle, i.e., Divine Mind.
The one, infinite mind, being accessible to all beings implies that anyone, anywhere, at any time may prove the changeless truth for oneself that declares:
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
Against such things there is no law.”
~ Galatians 5:22-23 (NIV) ~
Nonetheless, humanity continues to perceive both disease and health; wisdom and folly; poverty and abundance; success and failure, believing these conditions are the result of inherited tendencies. These are the out-picturing of opinions, beliefs, and perceptions. Shakespeare tells us, “There’s neither good nor bad, but thinking makes it so.” However, the eternal verities of nature that yield Peace, Love, Harmony, Beauty, and Unity, are the same yesterday, today, and forever.
The mystic of old said, “Christ in you, the hope of glory (Colossians 1:27).” Emma Curtis Hopkins, a 19th Century mystic said, “There is good for me, and I ought to have it.” The undergirding Principle is the same whether understood through the lens of New Thought or Ancient Wisdom. It is when we embrace the concept that “the highest God and the innermost God is one God,” and practice this awareness as a way of life through affirmative prayer and speech, that our invisible word of the heart manifests as the desired conditions that follow.
Enlightened ones throughout the ages agree with the Apostle Paul who said: “By faith, we understand that the universe was formed by God’s word, so that visible things were made from the unseen.” Mystics of all time understand our oneness with God and that our word of belief is the invisible law of manifestation. The good news is that The Law, aligned with Spiritual Principle, is instantaneous, regardless of past events.
