of its limitless capacity, a part of all things.
it is
Moreover, it is a major part of each of us. Consequent-
ly, we all have within us an unlimited power.
Creating miracles in our lives becomes a matter of
identifying with the power, understanding its
characteristics, and learning to use it effectively. This
identification is achieved by knowing that the power
is within you and acknowledging that fact by saying,
"I am eternal, immortal, universal, and infinite, and
what I am is beautiful." In this manner, you lock into
the power source and you are poised for the next
step, which involves looking at its characteristics.
The Universal Law is impartial and unemotional. It
has no way of knowing what you want, nor does it
discriminate between your hopes and aspirations,
likes and dislikes— it is pure energy. It accepts
whatever thoughts, feelings, and actions you project
and reflects them back to you unemotionally in the
form of events that you experience day to day.
In much
the same way as electricity illuminates
both a brothel and the vicar's tea party, the Universal
Law does not differentiate between different types of
energy your life. It will give you anything you
in
believe in— no more and no less. Therefore, the key
to understanding miracles is to look at the beliefs you
express as thoughts and feelings.
When you are born, your thoughts and feelings are
limitless because your mind is a clean slate. What a
small child projects to the Universal Law is a natural
purity unbounded by the constraints of beliefs.
Children often attempt the seemingly impossible:
unaware that they have any physical limitations, they

drive off in the family car or walk on a high ledge. It
is only later, through education, that they learn the

feelings only at birth. Itdoes not know of your heroic
mission nor does it understand the Universal Law
that interacts with your limitless potential. Why?
Two reasons: Firstly, if your mind, feelings, and emo-
tions knew the nature of your heroic goal in life there
would be no challenge or quest and your evolution
would suffer. Secondly, most understanding of
metaphysics is based on tribal or religious beliefs
which do not totally reflect an accurate perception of
the delicacy of energy and the way its ebb and flow
affects daily life, no real understanding of the Univer-
sal Law has ever been incorporated into the various
belief patterns of the world's collective unconscious.
For example, let us say that your heroic goal in life
is to learn to love yourself and to accept full cosmic
[6]
discipline of power. From time to time, you may drift
back but once you decide on the side of strength, the
power of the Universal Law will always be with you
to varying degrees.
It may bea battle at first, because your mind does
not understand these laws or the nature of your mis-
sion on earth, nor does it understand the laws that
govern your potential. It will have a tendency to ''ad-
vise" you logically from its own experience, and logic
is death to that part of you that is the miracle-maker.

STEP THREE: Understanding the Nature of Beliefs
[9]
ability to work miracles is predicated entirely on how
easily and quickly you can give the collective un-
conscious the slip. It is your attachment to the collec-
tive unconscious, or world belief patterns, that holds
you back.
This attachment, which you accepted at birth, is
your main challenge in life, and your spiritual goal is
to step above it. Eventually, you realize that, in order
to become part of a higher consciousness, you have to
leave where you are right now and step into the
unknown. That is why all the tales of the path of the
initiate talk about loneliness, for as you move away
from old energy there is a sense of loss.
As you take that step, your perceptions expand
gradually to accept a higher vibration of self and you
understand that what others believe is a part of their
evolution, but it is not the sum total of all the facts.
We experience life through the five senses,
win- **the
dows of the soul," and we are taught what capacity
those senses have. Yet, each of them has a dimension
that is many times deeper than is normally perceived
and those dimensions will open for you as you move
toward them.
Let us look at feelings. Through feelings, you can
enter into other worlds, and clairsentiousness (a
heightened sense of feelings) is a capacity you can
learn to develop quite quickly. It is not as acute as
extrasensory sight but it is deep and, through it, you
enter into areas of perception that few people ever
experience.
Everything around you is energy, your body, its
various organs, your thoughts, the physical place you
inhabit, the events of your life^ach expresses an
[10]
energy. A part of that energy is perceivable through
the five senses, but most of it is beyond normal
perception. By opening to the power of the Universal
Law and controlling the mind through centering and
discipline, you become aware of the subtlety of
energies around. You will find that you can use your
feelings to guide you through life. As you move into a
situation, push your feeling into whatever lies ahead.
How does it feel? What is the Universal Law saying
to you? Which area flows and which does not? After a
while this exercise becomes simple and very ac-
curate. You may not be able to see all the subtle
energies around you, but you can learn to feel them
and soon you will find that information from the
Universal Law has a way of jumping at you unex-
pectedly.
Events in your life gather energy as they come
towards you and you can feel that energy weeks and
even years before they occur. Science will tell you it
is not possible to foresee the future, and that is true
fill
fitsyou. He merely complies with your request.
In daily life, your feelings, thoughts, and attitudes
are your order form, so before you decide to change
your present conditions you will have to be very sure
what you want from life. Universal Law reacts
The
spastically to uncertain messages. You have to write
clearly and you have to be ready to accept whatever
you are looking for.
Let us say you want to win a large sum of money,
give up your job, and spend the rest of your days ly-
ing in the sun. You dream about the cash and you
sigh and say, ''Wouldn't it be lovely." But is that ac-
tually what you want? You might very soon find
yourself bored and, though your mind would like to
lounge in the sun, the inner you might say, "I should
have stayed where I was, there was more potential
there."
Creating energy for yourself through the Universal
Law is not just a matter of wishing for things, willy-
nilly. You have to realize that the power is within you
and, once you take the first step toward it, whatever
you create will be for your highest good. It might not
be exactly what you thought you wanted, but you had
better be ready for the consequences.
Before embarking on a miracle "action plan," you
ought to spend some time meditating on the condi-
tions or material objects you want. The Universal
Law is the shipping clerk waiting for your clear and
concise order. The currency with which you are go-
ing to pay for it is belief.
To create something with absolute certainty you
have to establish the feeling within you that it has
[12] N
already happened— that the condition you desire is
already a part of your life. This can be hard because
your mind, knowing nothing about the workings of
the Law, fights back.
You affirm, **I am rich," and your mind contradicts,
"You're not." The conflict that develops confuses the
Universal Law, which is about to deliver your heart's
desire. This clash of opposing energies has been the
challenge of the would-be initiate since the beginning
of time. It is the hunt for the Grail, or the slaying of
the dragon. It states that no one enters the kingdom
of heaven within, until he has tamed the dragon of
negativity that he inherited from the collective un-
conscious. Figuratively, you will have to leave the
earth plane even though you may still be very much a
part of physical reality. Dimensions are not out there
someplace between you and the stars, they are inner
worlds or inner journeys.
These journeys have an inner reality and an outer
manifestation in the physical, so anything you can
conceive is actually a part of you right now. The fact
that you do not have it to hand matters not. Whatever
it is that you conceive is in a state of gradually becom-
(13)
granted by the Universal Law, your wish will be
delivered, guaranteed.
But you cannot be half-hearted or you will dissipate
your personal power and nothing will happen. You
have to take the path like a warrior. You are going to
achieve your goal. No matter what confronts you, no
matter where you are right now, no matter what
adversity you face, you will reach your objective. The
Universal Law does not care whether you have your
heart's desire or not. Therefore, you might as well
make up your mind to collect.
You can have anything you want and when you
create it, it becomes yours. Often we feel we do not
deserve success or wealth or complete health or
anything else we might yearn for. We are taught in
childhood that we are not worthy, or that somehow
we owe something to society or the physical plane, or
that we have some kind of special sin that we should
atone for before we can enjoy what we want out of
life.

lies
Infinite power is so magnanimous, so powerful, so
much more than the mind that it exists in a separate
dimension and that is why the mind has difficulty
perceiving that it is even there. You will get an intui-
tion or feeling or a rush of excitement but that is all.
You cannot really hear it, touch it, or taste it, but it
comes round the mind like a breeze, and when it
starts to work your life you will know it by the
in
quality of the people and events that surround you.
Before we go to step four, the "Miracle Action
Plan," let us briefly review some important points.

Finally, the Universal Law is in balance and har-
mony by its very nature. And so, as you set out on

others. Whatever you create will have to be for
yourself. You cannot will the Universal Law on to
others, saying, "I want this to happen to my friend."
This would be infringing, because, not knowing the
nature of your friend's heroic life plan, you are not
entitled to change it or in any way alter what he is

for himself, as he also has unlimited power within
him, and a part of his growth pattern is discovering
that fact.
Within the Universal Law no dual energy,
there is
good and bad, saints and sinners. There is just
energy: one power that pervades all things and
everything is a part of the power. Differentiation be-
tween good and evil is just your perception, for
within real energy there is no judgment. There is
high energy and not-so-high energy, and at the end of
this life you will have the opportunity to review what
you have achieved, which will be a matter of how
much you have succeeded in centering your life in a
discipline of perceiving the Living Spirit and using it.
But your review will not be emotional. You will be
looking at the quality (or speed, if you like) of the
energy you created. If you have harmed others, you
have impeded your evolution by decelerating the life
force within you. That is your karmic energy and
someday you will have to understand that it was not
your highest path. But you cannot judge others,
because, since the energy your mind perceives does
not incorporate the nature of their heroic goal, you
[16]
have no way of knowing that what they are going
through is not exactly what they need karmically for
their growth at this infinite point in their evolution.
There are no accidents or victims. Each person is
responsible for his own evolution. Each pulls to
himself the circumstances experienced in life. He
puts in an order, so to speak, and gets back three
cracked cups. That is a part of the learning pattern,
trialand error.
This lifetime is yours. You may be involved in rela-
tionships and love others, but basically what you
make of your life and how you pass through it is your
evolution. We all learn to take responsibility for our
own circumstances and, within the Universal Law,
we are not expected to take responsibility for the
evolution of others. It might sound a bit harsh, but in
the Law there is incredible clarity and justice.
That is why adversity is allows people

e) Be open to the inner promptings of the

you in ways of getting what you want.

more you trust it, the more the energy
encouraged is
to reveal itself, and various unusual things begin to
occur. Your energy quickens and opportunities pop
up like corks on a lake. Then you will that KNOW
the power is truly with you.
This coming in tune, more than anything else, will
help you manifest your desires. You cannot act
negatively in one part of the Universal Law and ex-
pect the other part to deliver your miracles unaf-
fected. As you watch your life, you become expert at
reading symbols and you see that you are the only
one responsible for what you are and that everything
around you expresses an energy. The clothes you
wear, the things you say, the people you associate
with, the foods you eat, and the places you go are all
statements to the Universal Law of what you are.
The quality of these statements, or the coming in
tune with yourself and your surroundings, is the key
to your spiritual unfoldment. What you are has great
power. Its energy oscillates and reflects the amount
of Living Spirit or God Force that you express. The
more you work on your life, the more you accept
responsibility, the more energy you will have, and
the greater will be your expectations.
Suppose you have a special project in mind and you
want to be sure that you have the maximum possible
energy available. Let us say you are heading for a job
interview. You have put the job on your miracle list,
the Universal Law has opened a door, and you are
halfway there! Here is what you do:
