Welcome to your newsletter. I do hope you have enjoyed a wonderful week and that you and your family are happy and healthy.

Every single person without exception should enjoy infinite health, abundance and happiness as a right, or more specifically fact of Being, in all phases of life, both physical and non-physical.

At the same time we choose to incarnate on Earth for one reason only - the physical Universe including Earth is the very best environment for acquiring the experience needed in order to make true progress on the Divine path, thereby to transcend the cycles of reincarnation, and move on, as the Higher Self, to realms and conditions of life, the glories of which are far beyond the comprehension of mortal humans. If people only knew what splendours lie ahead, no one would waste time on Earth indulging in the pursuit of material things, indulging the demands of the ego.

Yes - life on Earth can be trying, very trying at times, but that must be the case in order to learn, experience and thereby to evolve through experience and by overcoming the trials and tribulations that we knew we would face before choosing to incarnate on Earth into the circumstances and with the parents that we all chose ourselves.

I have heard people wishing they lived in the Astral worlds, where peace and harmony prevails, there is no such thing as "work", "factories" or "offices", "money", or any of the other things that are a catalyst for misery.

Incarnation on Earth is not mandatory. Countless Souls elect not to enter the physical Universe, at least from the outset, but they soon come to realise that true progress cannot be learned without an environment conducive to learning, in other words a world confined by the restrictions of matter, and bound by the space-time continuum, a world where people of every possible character must live together and interact with each other.

The fact that we have chosen to incarnate on Earth at all demonstrates a long-term commitment to progress, our Higher Self knowing the glories that are awaiting once our mission in the physical Universe of matter is complete.

That said, we are not intended to suffer while we are here. It is an absolutely, incontrovertible truth that everyone, without exception creates their own reality and therefore happiness or suffering, which we do with our thoughts, imagination and emotions.

Few  people will choose the path of suffering of course, but often the thoughts of a person, driven on by the demands of the ego, and the desire to gather material possessions, while allowing themselves to be influenced by emotions such as jealousy, and the perceived pressure to conform to the expectations of society, family and friends, frequently result in suffering nevertheless.

The Universe does not judge whether we wish to experience suffering or not, rather immutably providing in accordance with our requests conveyed through the mind in the form of thoughts, emotions and imagination.

The truth is this - if we are to progress on Earth and fulfil our mission, though which The Source also experiences and therefore expands, then we can never be denied the tools we need to do so, whatever we believe those tools to be.

This is where The Law of Attraction comes in. There is truly nothing that we cannot be, do or have using the infinite power of our own Mind. Our thoughts, whether controlled or not are creative, "ask and it is given" every time, without exception.

Those of you who have read this newsletter for sometime will know the creative process well. We generate a thought or image in our Mind, in the case of many people unconsciously or in response to some external influence or factor. This thought is then in turn impressed on the subjective Subconscious Mind, which in turn either acts directly in the case of healing the body, or impresses the thought on the Universal,subjective Mind, which then causes the thought to manifest into our experiential reality providing the conditions to do so prevail.

It is however these very conditions that are the cause of most people failing to realise their wishes, no matter how hard they endeavour to get The Law of Attraction working for them.

It is human nature to easily think about and dwell on negative, unwanted things such as debt, and to maintain that focus, fuelling it with emotion, and providing all the conditions required to produce more of the same.

As Disraeli aptly stated: "Man is not the creature of circumstances. Circumstances are the creatures of men".

If that same level of thought and emotion can be applied to positive wishes, needs and desires, everyone would attract everything they could possibly need.

I know from the numerous messages I receive that many people are failing to achieve this, and so this week we will take a look at some of the main factors required in order to assure success with The law of Attraction.

One reason that many people fail to enjoy success with The Law of Attraction is because they endeavour to make the conscious Mind do the work of the Subconscious Mind and therefore the Universal Mind.
In my experience, and from the messages I receive, this is probably the number one cause of failure, along with a lack of faith and belief in the process, both of which are related as well as inadequate levels of the abilities of concentration and imagination, all of which are very important in the creative process.

So the process typically goes something like this:

A person has read about and has a level of understanding about The law of Attraction, and decides to make use of it in order to fulfil a desire.

The person will then set about mechanically doing the exercises recommended in order to achieve success at which point the "asking"
has been successfully achieved, the Universal Subjective Mind responding instantly, by "sending" the object of your desire towards you at which point you have the potential to receive and experience.

Many people can successfully reach this stage in the process.

However, it is at this point that many people go astray. The doubts start to creep in that the process will work, quickly followed by wondering how their wishes can possibly materialise. At his point many people compound this error by making the limited conscious Mind do the work of the Subconscious Mind, by thinking of ways by which the wishes will arrive, and then making the comparatively feeble powers of the conscious Mind carry out those actions.

The task of the objective conscious Mind is to make conscious decisions regarding what is required in order to enjoy a happy, healthy, and abundant life, while realising the lessons necessary for progression, and then handing the actual manifestation of those needs over to the subjective Subconscious and if necessary the subjective Universal minds.

This is where failure is almost guaranteed. One of the primary laws for success with The Law of Attraction is Faith. Not some abstract faith as for example with "blind faith" in a deity, but rather an absolute, unshakable, complete conscious faith in the power of our own Subconscious Mind and the Universal Mind realise our wishes.

Indeed, we can say, without question, that the level of success we achieve with The Law of Attraction is directly proportional to the level of faith we experience in the process.

As the great Nazarene Spirtual Master said in one of his Metaphysical teachings:

"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.

And such is the importance of this truth that he emphasises it time and time again:

"Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.
-- Matthew 21:21

And this is the absolute truth. Nothing is impossible for us providing we have absolute faith in the process, and in the fact that as aspects of God, we share the same infinite creative powers.

Our ability to manifest anything in our lives is therefore directly proportional to the faith in that process, and indeed we can indeed "move mountains" providing we have the unshakable faith in doing so.

But it is due to this lack of faith that after successfully asking, many people fail to receive because the doubts and lack of faith set in, and they start to wonder how there wishes will be realised.
This doubt, or lack of faith will immediately counter the manifestation process, and again, it is this lack of faith that is the single biggest cause of disappointment and the reason people feel compelled to endeavour make the conscious Mind do the work.

It is therefore extremely important to develop faith in this process, in the knowledge that, as aspects of The Source, The First Cause, Our Prime Creator, Who is in us an We in God, that everything is possible by virtue of Source Energy, God working through us, a truth that Jesus taught time and again:

"Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me?
the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works -- John 14:10

And:

"Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father" -- Matthew 14:12

In these teachings Jesus is saying that whatever works, in other words the "miracles" he manifested, can not only be accomplished by anyone, but still greater works as well. Most importantly he says "because I go unto my Father". This means that, as an aspect of the Father, the Universal Mind, he makes use of that Divine connection, with that infinite Energy working through him, as it does with everyone,by having total faith in The Father to deliver in accordance with his thoughts.

I would like to emphasise one crucially important truth at this point - when Jesus talks about "my Father" he is referring to the Father we all share - the Source, The First Cause, God.

He confirms this truth in the first line of The Lords Prayer "Our Father Which art in Heaven" which confirms the truth that "Our Father in Heaven" is Father to everyone and everything in Creation, and that our relationship with God is that of Father and child.

So, in order to be assured of success, the most important factor is to do anything and everything you can to achieve that level of unshakable faith in the creative process though the infinite power of the Subconscious and thereby Universal Minds. In other words the first task is to acquire unshakable faith, born out of knowledge.

There is no better way of doing this than by reading the Mind Power books library and by experience. The more you read these truths from different authors, the more you will come to know that this is indeed the truth, and that providing you have the necessary level of faith in the powers of your own Mind and the Universal Mind working through you, anything at all is possible, anything.

I suggest you start off with manifesting something small and believable first, something which, when it manifests, is not stretching your faith and belief in the process too far. A personal healing is an extremely powerful example.

Once you have manifested something modest, you will gain the faith to move on to manifesting greater things, in the knowledge that noting is impossible, there is nothing that you cannot be, do or have, and you can indeed move mountains.

Another extremely valuable ability to practice and become proficient at is creative visualisation. The imagination is an extremely powerful creative force, especially when used with picturisation, i.e. visualisation.

Although all thoughts alone are creative, visualisation adds meaning and clarity to those thoughts, acting as a powerful catalyst in the creative process.

Thoughts alone can be ambiguous, scattered and thereby lacking in focus. However, an image pictured in detail, with the emotion and gratitude in the knowledge of already owning the subject of your visualisation, and depicting precisely that which is desired is unambiguous and much more powerful than a thought or concept alone.

So learning creative visualisation, of which concentration is an important aspect, and developing absolute faith that the object of your visualisation is already a reality, and all you need to do is experience it, you too can perform "miracles", move mountains, and be, do or have anything atoll that you desire.

And always, always remember to than the Universal Mind, Divine Providence, for providing you with your desires.

Jesus said "I thank thee, Father, that thou hast heard me."

Always remember that anything worth having is worthy of gratitude.
