When we know ourselves and our desires, have faith, the universe delivers.
When we are willing to compromise, the universe delivers compromise.
When we are incomplete in our self knowing, the universe delivers a teacher.
And so it is.
The Law of Attraction ( LOA ) is always in motion. It is set in motion by our thoughts and feelings, be they conscious, unconsious, and/or subconcious.
Choosing or desiding firmly sets the Law of Attraction in motion in manifesting that we have decided on or chosen.
Wanting is a form of desire for lack.
Wanting something will utilize the LOA to keep us wanting by creating more desire for lack.
Thus wanting can create a run away train effect of desire for lack.
Here is an example of a difference between wanting and desiding.
When you are standing in the cold, with your nose pressed up against the glass of a luxurious eating establishment, and you are wanting to enjoy such a delicious meal, you are in fact desiring what you lack. You are cold and with out.
When you deside to go in to the restaurant, are seated at the table, with an open menu in your hand, and choose to order the lobster, you have choosen are warm, comfortable and will eat.
The same thing applies to wanting other wants, for example wanting a million dollars.
Ask almost anyone, “You want a million dollars?”
The answer is typically, “Yes, I want a million dollars.”
The world is full of poor blokes wanting a million dollars.
Show me someone who chooses to be abundant, who decides to have a million dollars, I’ll show you someone who has money flowing their way.
Yours in abundance,

You may recall my suggestion about miscreation of the 10 Commandments. Well, along the sames lines, how about I rewrite the 12 Wonderful Commandments to the 12 Wonderful Instructions. Notice how they make you feel?
( for 10 Commandments see: ( http://choose.ws/2009/10/21/positive-pivots/law-of-attraction/could-the-venerable-10-commandments-be-causation-for-turmoil-among-jews-christains-and-muslims/yucel/
for 12 Wonderful Commandments see: http://choose.ws/2009/10/30/quotes/bill-martuge/12-wonderful-commandments/yucel )
The 12 Wonderful Instructions
1> Make your mind up to be happy.
2> Make the Best of your Circumstances.
3> Take yourself lightly.
4> Always please yourself.
5> Set your own standards.
6> Do the things you enjoy doing… with money that you have earned.
7> Always focus on solutions.
8> Only associate with people who you are joyous around.

Notice any difference in how you feel after reading each list?

How could the venerable 10 Commandments be a cause for anything other than Peace for so many devout Christians, Jews and Muslims who follow its tenets as a broad common unifying thread within all three of these long standing great houses of religious traditions?
Is this even a fair question?
Let us begin first with a refresher of the list itself:
You shall have no other gods before Me.
You shall not make for yourself a carved image–any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.‘
You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain.
Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Honor your father and your mother.
You shall not murder.
You shall not commit adultery.
You shall not steal.
You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s.
Now don’t these seem like a pretty good list of pretty good things to be doing?
Well, lets read closer… is any of one of these anything to be doing?
In fact, all but 2 of the 10 Commandments are commandments for things of things not TO BE DOING.
The two notable exceptions being:
Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Honor your father and your mother.
What do those of us who study The Law of Attraction ( aka LOA, aka The Law ) know about what The Law does with what we think we should not be doing?
That’s right, IT DOES THEM.
All 8 of the not to dos in The 10 Commandments when given thought energy manifest dos.
8 of The 10 Commandments largely do not tell us what to do.
They focus the thoughts of those of us who study them most intently, most intently on what not to do.
On examination, clearly many of these commandments are about not being LIARs, CHEATs, and FAITHLESS.
On the face of it this seems intuitively positive as the negative of a negative. However, we know that throught action of The Law, focus on the negative of a negative manifests a negative.
What if the these had been written as The 10 Instructions to be TRUTHFUL, HONEST and FAITHFUL?
Can you feel then how they might have had more profoundly positive manifestations?
Yours in peace,
Yucel
Ever have an opportunity to read something really obtuse… then on studying it discover an amazing clarity? A clarity which would have been utterly missed without further study and review? And, it would have been so easy to go ahead and pass the little bit of obtusion bye… and you studied it anyway, or perhaps passed it bye…?
Recently in reading The Science of Mind, by Ernest Holmes, I came to just such a baffling passage:
“as we depend upon any condition, past present or future, we are creating chaos,
because we are then dealing with conditions (effects) and not with causes.”
Wow thought I, how obtuse is Ernest…?
Then I worked, worked and reworked the phrase, turning it over and over and voila, it started to make a perfect sense to me and has applied amazingly for me to so much since my reading.
On deconstruction and reconstruction, here is what I understand:
Depending on any condition is looking at what is, has been or might be and viewing this condition as a cause.
The word “depending” is key here with regards to conditions. While we have discussed “allowing” ( http://choose.ws/2009/06/11/allowing/positive-realism/yucel/ ), “gratitude” and “presence” ( http://choose.ws/2009/09/09/what-is-reality/presence/presence-and-gratitude/yucel/ ), all of which are well suited for conditions, these are distinct from “depending”.
Another key is the word “cause.” A cause can be a reason or an excuse for something. A cause affects things and makes things happen.
Taken together, by depending on conditions, we are treating the conditions as a cause.
Holmes’ posits that conditions are not affects, rather they are effects. That is, conditions do not cause things, they are in effect caused by something.
Whenever we focus on something we set The Law ( aka: LOA or Law of Attraction ) into motion. Whatever we focus on we thus give energy to and create more of it through The Law.
By focusing on any condition, we then create more of the like condition through The Law.
So we get more of the condition through depending on it by our focus on it. While we might view the condition as cause, the real cause is our focus on the condition.
As thought creates everything in our life, in all our lives, and in effect everything in creation, the condition itself was created by thought.
Focus of mind puts The Law into action to create conditions. Conditions are effects of our choosing.
Thus depending on conditions creates chaos through our focus by creating additional similar conditions through action of mind via The Law.
To create positively we may place focus on what we want. This sets The Law into creating conditions of our choosing as all conditions are effects caused by thought.
Yours in creation,
Yucel
