SPIRITUAL LAWS & MANIFESTING MIRACLES

Manifesting what you desire appears to be very simple; using a few guidelines from books, such as that by Barbel Mohr, you place your 'Cosmic Order' sit back and wait for miracles to occur. Unfortunately, many spiritual aspirants - for that's what you are if you're invoking the laws of the Universe - don't appreciate the underlying concepts that allow the magic to unfold. Your wishes materialise when there's little real concern as to whether they will or not . However, when you are desperate for 'miraculous intervention', your manifesting abilities seem to desert you. Why is this and what can be done to avert this problem?

In a previous post, I have already covered the need to make room for what it is you wish to manifest to appear. In this post today, I turn to the need to really appreciate what it is you are doing when 'cosmic ordering' for the Universal laws are exact; if you toy with the Universe you'll discover it toys with you.

Spiritual laws have three constants i.e they are 1) inviolable 2) immutable and 3) Universal, which means they cannot be altered, never change and apply equally to everyone. One of the laws that these 'sacred rules' apply to is that of The Law of Reciprocity. It is this law that should always be borne in mind when Cosmic Ordering, for without understanding the tenets which underpin the whole notion of manifesting, one is likely to experience haphazard and inconsistent results.

Reciprocity is the act of giving and receiving in mutual measure. This does not necessarily denote exchange of the same medium, but it does mean that whatever you give is equal, by your personal measure, to what you have received. This is demonstrated beautifully in the axioms 'Do to others as you would have them do to you.' or 'You reap what you sow.'

A more user-friendly name for this law might be The Law of Circulation. Giving, where you are receiving, keeps you constantly in the flow of circulating energy and thus supply.

In many religions this law is addressed through the practice of tithing. Tithing is the bequeathment of a proportion of your financial income to the Church and commonly, (as the number ten is believed to be the magic number of increase) involves the tithing of exactly one tenth of the amount you receive. Whilst it is perfectly acceptable for anyone to tithe money, and it may well lead to greater prosperity, many people immediately baulk against the idea. What was your reaction when you read that sentence?

The concept of tithing is pointing to the reinforcement of belief and faith. If you lose attachment to money and see it just as a manifestation of energy circulating; value received for value given, then there is no fear of lack or loss, no poverty consciousness, just an overwhelming faith in the ability of the Universe to provide. Thus, by tithing you are physically and visibly demonstrating the utmost faith in your connectivity with the Universe - and it is faith which funds all cosmic orders.

I am not suggesting you must start tithing, although I also am not suggesting you don't. By bringing the Law of Reciprocity to your attention I am pointing out the truth that the more you can keep the good in your life circulating, the more you will attract. As a consequence you will find that your efforts at Cosmic Ordering are totally consistent.

In some instances the law works with almost immediate effect. For example, the person not appreciating the immutable laws who has just successfully manifested a large amount of money. Shortly after, they are then astounded to find an unexpected bill dropping on the doormat requesting payment for exactly the same amount. The person who rushes past the person on the street proffering a collection tin for charity donations and mutters "sorry, don't have any money" - then loses their purse minutes later. The divine laws will constantly prove they are indeed, inviolable and immutable!

Conversely, there is the person who is naturaly attuned to the law of circulation. They really don't have much money in their purse but stop and give what they have to the charity collector anyway. Shortly afterwards they delve into their pocket and unexpectedly find a folded money note in the recesses of their pocket, or are unexpectedly given something of value.

If you want to perform miracles in your life, let go and trust that all you give will be returned, often ten-fold. If you are the recipient of luck, circulate your good fortune. If you are the receiver of a particular kindness be mindful of where you can return kindness, even if it is not to the original provider. Heartfelt reciprocity is the key to abundance and unlocks the resources of the Universe. It is in our willingness to give that which we seek that we keep the energy which supplies and grants miracles circulating in our lives. It is our faith in the omnipotence of the Universe that grants our prayers and wishes.

For many nights we prayed, with no proof anyone could hear,
Hope seemed like the summer bird
so swiftly flown away
Yet now I'm standing here with hearts so full I can't explain
There can be miracles when you believe.
Who knows what miracles you can achieve when you believe.
