We have trouble manifesting joy and prosperity for ourselves because we buy into a duality in our minds, even while we deny it with our lips. We still view the world primarily in terms of oppressors and victims. When you set up that view of the world, you can’t help apply it to yourself. Whether the victims of people or of circumstance, when we view ourselves as such, the reality follows. If you believe you are a victim, guess what—you are, and you become helpless.
Circumstances happen. That’s a fact. But your experience while in those circumstances is entirely your choice. Once we get this, we can start to transcend circumstances and enter into joy and power. Once you really understand this, the next step is to go to the center and connect with your divine center. Feel the joy, feel the power—not power over others or circumstances, but power of choosing joy and peace, no matter what.
And we in the metaphysical churches get this, intellectually at least, but what trips us up at this point is our tendency to judge our progress by what our physical eyes see. This keeps your belief from shifting from the temporal to the eternal. Once you are choosing joy and peace, the changes in your circumstances are no longer the bringers of this joy and peace. Your choice to experience this serenity becomes the whole object of the spiritual exercise. The changes in circumstances are merely preferences.
That’s not what you wanted to hear, is it? Well, here is where you can enter the area of miraculous possibilities. Here is where you can choose the changes, as long as you don’t make your joy and peace dependent on the outer changes. Affirm those changes calmly, confidently, but don’t make your happiness depend on them. Your happiness, from a divine source, is what makes the changes happen.
After this, no matter what your eyes and ears tell you, BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE DONE. Seldom are the changes instantaneous, especially after living in firmly entrenched pattern of using outer conditions as your guide. Believe despite what your eyes, or your friends, or your family tell you.
In the western world, we are very methodical approach to everything, so I will break it down into steps.
1.) Go the center and connect to joy
2.) Visualize the way you want to live
3.) Feel the emotion that accompanies that vision as if it is realized now
4.) Feel grateful that is so now
5.) Think and act as if it is so now
6.) Repeat daily, or even hourly
One very good program that promotes this practice and provides support for you in this method is the One Command Circle. This has been embraced world-wide by people of all religious backgrounds, and in all kinds of circumstances. You can find a circle in your area at this link:
