fSo what do these phrases tell us exactly?

These all demonstrate one fundamental truth; that each and every one of us is "made" in the Spiritual image of God, not in a physical sense as people often believe; God is not "male".

The principle that has become known as "God", i.e. what I will refer to as the "God principle" may be thought of as everything in existence, all that Is. Nothing exists outside of the Universe, and therefore of God, and everyone and everything has its Being within the Universe, within the infinite Mind of "God".

The God principle is therefore The First Cause, our Prime Creator, infinite, conscious,intelligent, vibrating Energy.

We "live and move and have our Being" within this great Energy field as individuated Energy fields "made" in the image of God, the macrocosm,and as such we share the same powers of Creation as "children of God", the microcosm. I should point out that as Energy we were never "created" as such; Energy cannot be created or destroyed.

This then is where The Law of Attraction becomes important to the way we create our experiential reality.

Everyone, without exception as a "Son" or "Daughter" of God has the same powers of creation, but in order to realise those powers, certain principles need to be observed.

One of these principles is faith. "Faith" is not some abstract "belief" based upon what someone else has said, faith is rather a very powerful feeling, a knowing and trusting beyond all doubt that we do indeed have God-given powers which will manifest anything at all in accordance with our thoughts.

Here is what the Bible says on faith:

"Whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith." -- Mark 11:23

And Jesus admonished his disciples for not being able to achieve their wishes due to a lack of faith in their own God-given powers:

"And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you." -- Matthew.17:20

Here Jesus is saying that nothing is impossible, and that we are only limited by our belief in our ability to create in accordance with thought. In fact we have no limitations; moving a mountain would be simple to anyone who had the faith in their own God-given ability to do so.

The source of our ability to achieve anything we desire is the Subconscious Mind. The Subconscious Mind is infinitely powerful, beyond the comprehension of most who fail to understand the powers of their own Subconscious Mind.

The Subconscious Mind is not a separate Mind, but rather an aspect, by far the largest aspect of our total Mind. I should point out that the brain is not the Mind; the Mind resides in every cell, molecule, atom, subatomic particle and quanta of Energy that comprise the Energy field that constitutes what we perceive with the five physical senses as our "body".

The Subconscious Mind will accept any sustained impression, particularly fuelled by emotion, and therefore any sustained thought, and bring it into manifestation without question. It is the task of the conscious Mind therefore to choose carefully which sustained thoughts and impressions impressions the Subconscious Mind receives.

This is what the Bible says about these important truths:

"Marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well". -- Psalm 139:14

The "Soul" in this context is the Subconscious Mind.

The Subconscious Mind controls every aspect of our body as well as our individual experiential reality, and has so from the moment of conception. The Subconscious Mind originally created our body from the genetic blueprint contributed by both parents, maintaining every function including for example, heartbeat, breathing, digestion, immune system, cell regeneration and much more; in fact every component of the body is controlled by the Subconscious Mind by communicating the levels of Mind that comprise them.

This is the basis of true healing. If we wish to heal ourselves we simply impress our wishes on the Subconscious Mind as if it is a reality Now, and the Subconscious Mind then executes the wish immediately and completely. We therefore have total control over every aspect of our body including health, healing and bodily characteristics, appearance and function; they are not subject to some external factor, although of course wrongful eating for example will result in disease if left under the control of the cravings and ego driven desires of the conscious Mind.

Likewise if we wish for something to manifest into our experience, the Subconscious Mind will do this every time through its intimate connection with the Universal Mind; the Mind of God.

However, it is absolutely crucial that we know these powers beyond any doubt.

Doubt is a powerful vibration which tells the Subconscious Mind that your conscious Mind, your ego, does not believe the subconscious Mind can achieve your wishes, which, as many have already discovered, will become your experience, a reason why The Law of Attraction does not appear to work for some people.

An excellent way of impressing your wishes on the Subconscious Mind is by prayer. Now prayer is a whole new subject and one which I will discuss in the future, but let us define what "prayer" is not.

Prayer is not mechanically reciting a verse either from memory, read from a book, or by repeating words after someone else. These things might be called "prayer", but in reality they will have very little or no effect beyond a personal satisfaction. True prayer is designed to influence reality, for example changing something in our lives. This is what the gospels  says about prayer:

"Whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive". -- Matthew. 21:22

Now it is important to note here that "believing" does not mean a dogmatic belief in for example "God". Many people think that if they "believe" in God or Jesus or the Bible or some other religious icon or concept, that alone would be sufficient to "please" God enough to deliver the request and later admit them to "Heaven". This is a complete misinterpretation of the true meaning of prayer.

God, the Universe is incapable of being flattered, or "pleased" or gratified in some way; they are all very human concepts that do not apply to the Infinite. So let us look at that statement again:

"Whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive."

This is saying that if when you pray, in other words you "ask" for something, knowing beyond all doubt it is already yours, then so shall it be. Another of the disciples confirms this when he said:

"What things soever ye desire, when ye pray believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them" -- Mark 11:24

So you see; these important truths for using The Law of Attraction are emphasised time and again throughout the Bible.

The reason is this; true prayer is not and never was intended to be dogmatic in nature, or conform to the creed or dogma of others, it is rather a science, in other words true prayer is used in the unshakable knowledge that immutable Universal principles will be influenced in the direction of the prayer, or rather the thoughts and emotions behind the prayer which must always be stated as if you have already received the object of the prayer.

Another important aspect of prayer is "faith".

Now again "faith" has been very misunderstood in the past taken by people to mean that providing they have faith to their chosen religion, or to an icon of that religion, they will be duly rewarded by having a request granted, and eventually be allowed into "Heaven".

This is not the meaning of true faith. True faith is an absolute faith in the infinite power of the Subconscious Mind, that whatever you wish for has already manifested, and is not subject to some external influence.

Now this is a very important point to note; the power of Jesus as a healer was due to the faith that his followers placed in him. They believed that Jesus was Divine and the "son of God", of course we all are, and that he had special God-given powers of healing. If the people he healed had not believed this, then they would not have been healed. Here is an excellent demonstration of this:

"And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord. Then touched he their eyes, saying, according to your faith be it unto you. And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, see that no man know it." -- Matthew 9:28-30.

The blind man was healed by the power of his own Subconscious Mind due to his faith that Jesus possessed special Divine powers. He knew, beyond doubt, he would regain his site and so it was. Had the blind man not believed that Jesus possessed very special healing powers, he could not have regained his sight, because he would not have sent the impression of "sight" to the Subconscious Mind to restore. Jesus knew this when he said "see that no man know it" he was cautioning about telling others lest they mock him, and cause him to lose his faith in the healing process.

If he lost his faith in the healing powers of Jesus, upon which his healing rested, and started to believe it could not be true, then his Subconscious Mind would have receive the thought that "his sight cannot be true", that would be his reality, and he would lose his sight again.

Mark confirms this when he said:

"If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth" -- Mark 9:23
