СКАЧАТЬ I love my husband!”

      But I suggested that some kind of vacuum obviously needed to be formed; that there was much about their situation that she would like to be free of; and that perhaps it was not her husband she needed to forgive, but that all of us need to practice forgiveness every day because of many negative, subconscious attitudes stored in our emotions of which we are are not even consciously aware.

      Rather reluctantly, she finally agreed to sit for half an hour every day and practice forgiveness. Later, she declared in amazement that the names of people she had long forgotten came to her during those times, and that unpleasant or unhappy experiences of the past floated up in her memory. To all of these she declared words and thoughts of freedom, release and forgiveness, as well as for and concerning her husband’s recent behavior. As she began to feel relieved and freed of a lot of old, half-buried, hostile emotions and attitudes, her husband’s drinking ceased. He began to work very hard in his job again. And success came in such a big way that she was even able to stop working and provide a beautiful home for her husband, which had long been their desire. Thus, the power of forgiveness.

       Releasing is Magnetic

      Are you clinging to the thought of how some troublesome situation in your life can be made right, what shape and form the solution should take? Then release, loose, let go. Declare to the situation or personalities involved: I release, loose, let go and let God. Do not be fearful of letting go. Nothing can ever be lost through spiritual release. Instead, your own good and the good of all concerned is much freer to move into your life. Through release, your power of attracting good is greatly increased. One word of caution here about attitudes toward the tangible things you release. I once felt led to go through my closet and give away most of the clothes therein to my sister. These clothes were perfectly good but I had tired of them, and no new clothes had recently appeared, so I felt by passing them on, I was making way for the new clothes.

      After mailing these clothes to her, I felt happy and expectant about the new clothes I was so sure would manifest. But for a number of weeks nothing happened. Finally I realized that I was still mentally hanging on to the clothes I had sent her, thinking, “If I had that dress or suit I sent Sis, I would wear it today.” It was then necessary for me to re-release what I thought I had already released. In my mind I went over every item I had sent her and declared to each individual piece of clothing mentally: I fully and freely release you. I completely loose you and let you go. So far as I am concerned you have served your purpose in my wardrobe and I no longer need you. You are now in your perfect place. Thereafter, new and more beautiful clothes appeared very fast in my closet!

      It was as though a “magnetic influence” had gone to work for me. A friend who knew nothing of my empty closet, quietly came to me and said, “I have some money I wish to share with you. When I prayed about what to do with this particular amount, the only thought that kept coming to me was that I should give it to you, perhaps for some clothes. You appear well-supplied with clothes, but the thought persisted and so here it is with my blessing.” That started the flow of substance which then came to me from here, there and everywhere. Some articles I had written had not been accepted and so in a doubtful but hopeful mind I had revised them, weeks earlier, and re-submitted them. Now they were accepted and I was paid. Several people saw items while shopping and thought, “That looks like Catherine.” They purchased them for me as gifts. In each instance, it was items of clothing I had been mentally imaging as hanging in that closet! One friend back home went on a shopping trip there. We had not corresponded in some time, so she had no conscious way of knowing about the empty closet. Nevertheless, packages arrived with gifts of clothing for me resulting from her shopping trip. She wrote later, “I just kept ‘getting the feeling’ you could use those various items, and somehow I could not resist getting them for you. I shall be very happy if you can use them.” I learned quite a lesson from this experience. None of this happened until I freely released the clothes I had sent my sister. A gift that is not freely released after being given is not a gift at all. If you cannot give freely, don’t bother. But if you do give, be sure you graciously release what you have given. Otherwise, no good has been done; no vacuum has been formed.

       Use the Substance at Hand

      Another way of invoking the vacuum law of prosperity is by using your present visible substance without withholding it, thereby making way for new prosperity to flow to you. However, you have to do this in a certain attitude of mind in order to produce rich results.

      When there does not seem enough prosperity on hand to meet present needs or when you seem blocked in attaining greater prosperity, take control of the situation; take control in your thoughts and feelings. Rather than feeling helpless, defenseless, or sorry for yourself, declare to those financial appearances: Peace, be still.

      Take your wallet, checkbook or other tangible evidences of financial supply in your hands and declare concerning them: You are even now filled with the rich bounty of God who supplies my every need now. Then is the time to fearlessly and boldly use the substance they contain as far as it will go in the present situation. If there are bills to be paid, do not wait until “enough money” comes in to pay all of them, but go right ahead in faith and pay those you can. That is breaking the substance on hand and sending it forth, so that it can multiply.

       Look Up! Toward Prosperity

      Establishing and maintaining a prosperous attitude just as though your bounty was already completely visible is important at this point. This is not the time to talk lack, to withhold, or to practice stringent economy. Instead, this is the time to use up to the last of your financial assets to the last penny–if necessary. If you withhold, talk about financial lack at this point, it will cost you double. Instead, look up mentally and give thanks for the substance you already have to send out. Then boldly send it forth with a rich flourish and a rich blessing. Joyously declare: This is the bounty of God and I send it forth with wisdom and joy. When you “look up,” regardless of appearances to the contrary, you are always provided for!

      Perhaps the person who taught me the most about this phase of the vacuum law of prosperity is a quiet, unassuming housewife who constantly “looks up,” boldly sending forth the money in her pocketbook with a rich flourish. Unfailingly, she is provided for in opulent ways.

      Several years ago she became interested in beautifying the church in which I was then serving. Quietly, she came to me and suggested various improvements she would like to make, assuring me that she had “private funds” to do this. It was months later that I learned the “private funds “she had were her own grocery money, which she generously used for some lovely items for the church.

      In that way she began to send forth with a rich flourish the money she had. As she continued to “look up,” her every private need was met. New channels of supply opened to her and her husband in most unexpected ways, so that for the first time in her life she employed a maid, received gifts of a new car and a monthly allowance.

      As for the church redecoration, it “snow-balled” and many rich gifts then came, all because one housewife dared to quietly “look up” and use the substance at hand boldly, fearlessly, richly–even if that substance was her own grocery money. It overwhelms me even now to realize what faith she has had in the vacuum law of prosperity, and what rich results she continues to experience. She has often said that she has had no financial need that has not been met, since she began forming a vacuum.

       Put Your Best Foot Forward

      Another way to “look up” regardless of financial appearances is to put your best foot forward. Wear your best clothes; ‘look your best’. Live as richly as possible on what you already have. I recall once needing new clothes for a conference СКАЧАТЬ
