Creat Your Life On Purpose- God and the Law of Attraction


Create Your Life On Purpose-God and the Law of Attraction

I HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY

My Disclaimer-What I am about to write is what I believe. It is not an invitation for an argument or designed to antagonise anybody. It is my expression of truth as I know it. I’m sure it will continue to expand as I evolve and grow more deeply into the Love of God. If what is read brings any offence, it is unintentional and therefore rests upon the shoulders of the one who has been offended. If you don’t like it, or it upsets you, don’t read my stuff. Go write your own stuff.
If you read this and have questions, I’d love to answer them. But I am not going to answer accusations or attacks-should any come, because those people are not looking to understand where I’m coming from, they are simply wanting a platform to outshout me. Well, I won’t shout back, I’ll just hit ‘delete’, so spare us all, please.  Yes, just covering myself here Lol
Humour me.
A LONG time ago (and people like to argue about how long, because in majoring on the minors, they can be distracted from the whole point!)... anyway, as I said, a long time ago, the Universe came into being...

It’s All a Set Up

A certain ‘person’, who many of us that like him affectionately term God, set up the way things should be. The entire creation exuded forth from God’s essence as ‘the work of his hands’ like a potter with his clay. (We humans also came forth from God, bearing his likeness even to the point of sharing in his function of consciousness but like a baby, developed a capacity to hold an individual state of consciousness.) And that which came through his creation bears his characteristics. And they are CONSISTENT characteristics.  These traits are known to scholars as the Natural Laws of Science. They are referred to by lovers of God as the nature of God.

In Proverbs 3:19-20 it says,
By wisdom the Lord laid the earth’s foundations,
Thru understanding, He set the heavens in place,
Thru knowledge the mountains were formed and
The clouds let drop their dew.

I love how in the French version, the meanings of wisdom, understanding and knowledge are more fully clarified. For one thing, the word ‘knowledge’ is la science.

Let me state this here:

God and Science have never been  and never will be in enmity to each other. The religious bollocks that are threatened by Science do not know this Creator God. They serve a man-made one who is riddled with contradictions and so can easily topple...and hence feels threat just like any other fragile ego.

God set everything up to flow and function within his laws of construction...the natural order of things.
Unfortunately, it has taken Science and technology some time to catch up to these ‘laws’ and get around to inventing machinery that can “SEE” these invisible laws in greater fullness. So Science was being touted as the be all and end all of truth but it was always a very limited view, being restricted by what could be measured and somehow seen. The instruments were not around that could see what was beyond humankind’s capacity to view with a naked eye.

Today, we have far superior equipment and science is now bearing out spiritual truths and discovering that the very things they had known, such as ‘energy’, were actually references to God by another name and make sense inside an even more amazing and vast context.

The Purpose of Symbolism and Myth and the Power of Metaphor

So, to recap, God created everything, seen and unseen according to his Wisdom, Understanding and [Science]. One example of God’s perfectly imperfect precision is reflected in the galaxies and planetary orbits. Did you know that a day is not actually 24 hours long? It fluctuates all year. Mankind just rounded it off at an average that could be easily measured for management purposes. Nothing wrong with that, but TIME is not God’s invention. That’s why it can be changed whenever a dude in an office decides it’s a good idea. However, all the fancy workings in the world couldn’t get it worked out so well, so the time managers have to ‘bodgey the books’ every four years and add a day to bring things into balance.
lol-I love that! Creative accounting.

Here’s the thing, Biblical language is often symbolic. Jesus spoke in parables. The Old Testament stories are written as a ‘type’ or metaphor-so it says in the New Testament. It was never about proving it literally or figuratively true-another distraction-but simply to get a desired point across. I know some Bible fundamentalists may hate this, but it doesn’t actually matter if the Garden of Eden is literally true or not, and to get caught up in such arguments is a total waste of time, coz it completely obscures the whole point!
The accounts presented are for us to understand something about ourselves and our connection with God that will lead us into liberty. Fighting over fact will never do that. Freedom is FELT. It is experienced. It is known. Just like God. If we read with an open heart, see God’s wisdom, understand its application and how to use the laws to apply it, we will be able to create in like fashion.

Proverbs 24:3-4
By wisdoma house is built
                By understanding, it is established
By knowledgeit’s rooms are filled
                With rare and beautiful treasures’.

We are given access to the very same tools with which to create our little world inside God’s big world.  And that, in my opinion, is why we are here.

God’s Mould and Our PlayDough-co-labourers together with God

Everything-absolutely EVERYTHING- owes its existence to God, or ENERGY.
In him we live and move and have our being. Acts 17:28
It is God in us who causes us to will and to do according to his good purpose.Phil 2:13

What scientists didn’t get that the metaphysicians and lovers of God did, is that Energy is an Intelligence and it LOVES. By our definition of the word-IT IS GOOD. It is ONLY good. Where we do not see what we consider to be good, we are witnessing the effects of the delusion of a separated consciousness. After 1000s of years of such delusion, the planet is reeling. Humanity is interacting with creation-in every way, a symbiotic relationship.

The  Bible puts it in these terms
19 For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed. 20 For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope 21 that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God.
22 We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. 23 Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit,groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies.

I’ll cover more of this verse another time but my point is that as man evolves, the planet will be restored as well.  Global warming will no longer exist the day that enough of humanity cease to believe it needs to. At present, much of the population feel we must ‘pay’ for our abuse of the planet and suffer global warming for it (consequences), but the more people that understand that our connection with God and each other and understanding our ability to use wisdom, understanding and knowledge in Love come together, the planet will respond.

It will manifest the healing of the imagined rift between God and man, which only exists in each individual’s thoughts that are somehow separate from God’s.  The evidence of conscious connection with God is the confidence in GOD’s Goodness and it is this goodness that will ultimately fill all.

The Reason “Evil” Exists

To begin let me explain what evil is, in some of my terms.
Evil is that which is opposed to good, some say.  But really, evil is better understood as misaligned with good. Or ‘m’aligned’. It is actually the separation from the flow of good. And it abides in the judgmental ego of mankind. The only reason that ego exists is because, in order to be considered truly free, humanity must have a representation of two options.

The Bible uses language like Life and Death, Blessings and Cursings, Love and Fear, Mercy and Judgment, Light and Dark.  But these dichotomies are notopposing forces.  There is no competition. No battle. Just as Light easily and instantly dispels darkness, so Love drives out fear and mercy triumphs over judgment. The supposed polarised force is actually the absence of acknowledgment of the only true power. And it is an absence that exists only in the mind of a person who chooses separation from all that is GOD.  (col 1:21 Enemies in our minds...)Or more simply-chooses to align with something contrary to the Love of God. We can be aligned in one area and not in another. Be aligned in one moment and not in another. At whatever point we are, we create our lives from there.

18 There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. I John4:18
12 Speak and act as those who are going to be judged by the law that gives freedom,13 because judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment .James 2:12-14

(The law that gives freedom is Love and Grace, under which there is no judgment because all is made ‘right’ through being aligned with God Rom 5-8. Someone who is still showing judgement that condemns or demands some kind of punishment is demonstrating that they are still separate from grace in their thinking and hence still under man’s law and therefore will still experience judgment and a sense of condemnation from their own ego! Their own hearts condemn them, I John 3:19-20not God, because they are not aligned to experience God’s goodness).

The whole earth is filled with His glory does not mean what some people think about slaying the ‘unrighteous’.  We won’t need to-they will wipe themselves out! Anyone who isn’t aligned with Love, Mercy, Life, Grace etc, cuts themselves off from the flow that will keep them alive, so they will create circumstances of fear, judgement, death and law –to their own destruction. It’s not the wrath of God. God’s judgment means the restoration of creation to ‘rightness’. All things brought back into balance and to their original state. This is the true meaning of judgment.  It is to make right but not by punishment and penalty, but by restoration.

And that’s why God reconciled himself to man through Jesus. So humanity could concede the possibility of being ONE with God again. Without the bloodshed, human thinking could not get free of its own condemnation and laws. God didn’t need the blood, people did.

Full Circle- Created in the Image of the Creator God.

And here’s the point. We, humanity as a whole, are creating the death, the cursing, the fearful situations, the condemnation and the judgment and even the disasters-not God. Humanity, who has been pointing the finger and blaming someone else since the beginning of time, has only itself to blame. It's time to accept responsibility and live in the freedom we were born to!

How are we, who are grasshoppers in the land of giants, doing this? -By working the laws of established creation in ignorance. Instead of seeking to understand them and how we can align with all that is good and desirable and thereby create a beautiful life for ourselves we hold, en masse, to the notion of being helpless victims under constant threat of siege and annihilation that must fight and struggle for survival. It is Ego and the idea of being, or having, a separate identity that is fighting for control. But like all parasites, it brings death to its host.

The Bible proclaims the number of the Beast portrayed in Revelations as 666.
This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a* man ( footnote*or humanity’s number). That number is 666.  Revelations 13:18

It’s the greatest scapegoat scam in human history, a ploy of Ego(separate consciousness) to preserve itself by keeping people in darkened, powerless thinking- imprisoned by their right to choose, whilst simultaneously losing sight of the choices available. Punishment is not God’s response to such as these. Illumination is. EPH 1:18  Wisdom, understanding and knowledge.

Demonstrated in those willing to live it ever more fully, as they grow in it.

Bottom line: It’s not a question of doing what God wants, but about aligning to your own heart’s desires and acquiring them through the established set up of wisdom, understanding, knowledge and love.
I believe that that IS God living in and through you, creating together with you AS ONE to build your life.

Wisdom-Spiritual Riches I


Wisdom  for the day

As a young mum of 5, I had a deep hunger to know the best way to mould and care for my babies.
Materialistically, I had grown up with little and still had about that, but I started to explore God’s wisdom to find the answers and guidance I sought. I studied what I found in the Bible but also relied a lot on the wonderful connection I felt between me and God and His love for me.
The following passages became mantra-like for me. To know that I’d been granted access to the same forces that framed the universe gave me incredible inspiration.
Pr3:19-20
“BY wisdom the Lord laid the Earth’s foundations, and by understanding He set the heavens in place.
By knowledge the mountains were formed and the clouds let drop their dew.”
Pr 24:3-4
“By wisdom a house is built & by understanding it is established
                By knowledge its rooms are filled with rare and beautiful treasures.”
I concluded from these verses that God had given me the exact same abilities to raise my family (build my house) as he used to create perfection in the universe. And in James we read that we can simply ask God if we find ourselves in need of wisdom and he’ll freely give it to us (Jam 1:5)
Obviously wisdom is more than a lofty ideal. It has potent practical application.

Wisdom at the beginning of all things

Just as Pr 3 states, wisdom was from the beginning. The book of Proverbs espouses the countless benefits of walking in wisdom’s counsel. Silver, gold, honour, long life, health, safety, practical knowledge and rewarding relationships are ALL listed as blessings offered through Wisdom. Who of us doesn’t want these things and yet how often we ignore what’s available to us in the form of Wisdom, in order to acquire them? Or try to find other places that share some of these truths without encountering God because Ego doesn’t want to face Judgment. But Truth is God. Eternal. Unchanging.
Of course, it isn’t about knowing the theory of wisdom, it is about reshaping one’s beliefs to harmonise with this Logic of God. And when a person starts out on that path, that’s when he finds just how much he has been alienating himself from the Truths of God’s wisdom, understanding and knowledge. Prov 2 and Prov 8 are particularly good for a description of and the benefits surrounding Wisdom. And also the level of dedication it takes to attain her company and blessing. Nothing short of your complete commitment will yield these returns. Total alignment-and once aligned...the rest follows.

No Punishment Today

Proverbs 1:7 opens with the concept that the “fear of the Lord is the beginning of Wisdom” but ‘fear’ here is referred to “a reverential respect” for God and his ways...not a terror of being punished by him. God isn’t punishing anyone at this point and if anyone tells you differently, you can say that Jesus bore the punishment of ALL of, not only your past , present and future “sin”, but everyone’s past, present and future shortcomings! Anyone willing to accept this can be free of judgment, come boldly to God’s throne of Grace and experience God’s peace.
And then, on the other hand, if you encounter someone who tells you there’s no need to receive forgiveness then evaluate the fruit of their self worth.
Perhaps some can find a way to get free of judgment another way, but I’ve not really encountered it. Somewhere along the line, I find people come to a place where they can’t forgive themselves and so suffer self inflicted guilt. This is the guilt that destroys us.  Telling oneself it’s ok is not the same as freedom-trust me!
The antidote to a poor self worth is being LOVED as you are. God does this but if he hadn’t provided a gateway for man to approach him, we would still be running and hiding like Adam, when God wanted to come and commune with us. Because we feel GUILTY!
 We can’t even reason WHY we feel bad, or why we feel the need to justify. The mind and heart become an endless labyrinth-an abyss of rationalisms. Personally, I gave up trying to understand and just accepted that I can enjoy freedom from judgment without having to analyse it, by surrendering to Wisdom.
To accept this “wisdom of God” opened my heart and keeps it open to receive whatever other insights I need to live well.

To Live As I Was Designed

So I believe I was created and fashioned to live as a mini version of God, co-creating together with God using the laws he established through wisdom , understanding and knowledge ( AKA law of Attraction/ Love). In French, “knowledge” is translated “la science”. I love this as it signifies the affinity rather than enmity of God and Science. Religion and Science have had issues, but the truth about God is SCIENCE. Science just takes a little while to catch up and make instruments that measure what was previously “invisible”.
I want the wealth God intended for me...all of it! And every kind of it promised to those who walk with Wisdom.

No Luxury of A Second Opinion



Desperately Real


Many years ago, maybe  as many as 25, a preacher "spoke a word" of prophecy over me. He said  "Get desperately real with God, for you have phenomenal potential".
I already felt "desperately real" with God, making every effort with all my heart to stay consciously connected, deep in His presence and full of his truth.


What I've come to understand about a "prophetic word", when accurately delivered, is that is stays true and keeps on being true and applicable no matter the circumstances or passing of time on the human scale. 
(Me living one of my dreams)


And so today, I find myself, yet again, being reminded of this moment in my history and of my own heart's deep, deep desire to be so ONE with God that the hunger is almost painful. (and yet I wish this state upon all! lol) This "hunger" compels from a place of passion and purity within. "Deep calls to deep" the psalmist cries. ( Ps 42:7)


The key attribute of this state is a quality common to pretty much everyone, but rarely developed intentionally and where it has randomly excelled , is actually viewed as a 'disorder'. Not in my house. We're intentional with it...our Obsessive Compulsive Practises.
Yes, we've seen the down side to it, but we've also harnessed its power and applied it to be an "up" side.


Any addiction or obsession for anything or anyone is evidence of this ability. All it requires is a 100% focus on healthy content-then it will work miracles for anyone who uses it. The labour is in redirecting unruly thinking but this is entirely do-able. 


Entirely doable that is, once the commitment to "get desperate" with it is there.
W.H. Murray
Until one commits there is hesitancy, a chance to turn back, always ineffectiveness...
If you've "tried and failed", I can almost certainly guarantee it's because of lack of commitment. Somewhere along the way, you accepted a different outcome to the one you began with. You let your heart be swayed away from your goal. You were not fully persuaded which I why you were not fully committed.


Understanding The Plan
When a person commits to their dream ( Theirs alone. You cannot commit on behalf of another), there is NO plan B. The difficulty most face is determining their dream. Actually, that's not entirely true. At least, not by my experience. It is not the dream that is vague but the inability to believe it done that clouds the view.


Napoleon Hill said "Whatever the mind can conceive, and believe, the mind can achieve."
This wasn't a concept of his invention. This has been the law governing creation since God! He tapped into the knowledge of how this worked and gave his heart completely over to the process of believing it, so he could enjoy life on his own terms. He lived its truth, so he could deliver the truth with power.


With this belief as the underpinning of all he undertook he knew he could achieve anything he directed his mind toward, and proceeded to teach others likewise. Abraham in the book of Romans Chapter 4 ( from the Bible) is recorded as having done the same. The bible describes this faith as being equal to "righteousness". It is choosing to align oneself completely with universal truth.
This is Plan A and from what I can see, was the only part of the plan that was never negotiable-if you want to create the life of your desires. You will create your life regardless, but it will be chaotic and burdened with all manner of undesirable elements.


No Luxury of A Second Opinion


The most difficult aspect of living this lifestyle, for most people, seems to be the selling out of all other options. They reason with a logic akin to having a spare tyre...blow outs happen, we need a spare, a back up, insurance. There may be a relevant truth to this regarding a tyre that is material and wears out but this is not a characteristic of faith. 


And we are not left without the means to have faith. The bible says it is the gift of God and that "he has given to all ...the measure of faith". Jesus said with "faith as a mustard seed, we could move mountains" and that "anything is possible for him who believes". I want to live HERE. :-) 


What we have are counter beliefs and these throw our confidence around like a rag doll in a tempest. Once again though, we are not left without means to "fix" this. And we do it by "fixing" our hearts and minds on that which we desire. And you don't need to worry about whether God wants you to have it or not.  Romans 8 says he graciously gives us all things, all things are ours, all things pertaining to life (2Pet 1:3), every good and perfect gift from the Father of heavenly lights who does not change (Jam 1:17) And just to top it off, we are informed that God's gifts and his call are irrevocable ( Rom ) He NEVER takes them back. They are OURS to keep and do with whatever we will. So, that's settled.


As long as what we want brings no infringement on another's well being or freedom of choice, it is perfectly acceptable.
The real question here is, "Is what you want so important to you that you are willing to put everything into bringing it to fruition with regard to fully persuading your heart?" I'm not talking about doing the practical things like making a plan for your goal and following it. By all means do this too, if you wish...but FIRST become fully committed to the outcome.
Let your plan be built from this place of "Blessed Assurance" and let each step of the way be inspired action from that very same assurance. You will need it-this assurance.


If you are unsure about the way to establish your heart, I can help, but basically it is focussing your attention on the outcome and allowing yourself to believe it. When a contrary belief arises, immediately take the thought captive and bring it down by grasping the truth again. The truth that ministers to your heart and gives faith the ascendency. I have tons  of techniques that help here. The "double minded" receive nothing. You must discipline yourself to give energy and focus on that which you want. Sell out to the truth.


And finally, I'd like to leave you with the full quote of W.H. Murray and let this encourage you to commit.


Until one commits there is hesitancy, a chance to turn back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative and creation, there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans. That the moment one definitely commits oneself then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never have otherwise occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favour all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way, I have learned a deep respect for Goerthe’s couplets; “ whatever you can do, or dream you can do , begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.”

My Life My Design


One Decision Can Slowly Save Your Life

A very little over a year ago, I made a seemingly small, but rather significant decision. I love the beach. I love it in all kinds of weather and for all kinds of reasons. It is just one of those places where I find it so easy to feel connected to God. Rainforests, trees, gardens, wildlife, singing, writing, drawing, sitting on a sun soaked deck in winter, or listening to the song of the wind play in the leaves-all of these are joy for me this way. February 2010, I decided I wouldn’t wait to move beach front before I enjoy the beach daily. My decision was to be down there, walking its length and back every day. I wanted to create the state of feeling like I already lived there. I live 6 kms west of our incredible Ozzie Gold Coast.


Over the last year, I built Burleigh into my psyche as the place I want to be permanently and I made a powerfully resonant connection.

Alignment brings Freedom

The first and immediate advantage was that I was getting a 4km (50 min) walk every day and some nice colour. It didn’t take long for me to feel like Burleigh was My beach. I wanted Burleigh beach front and I was there faithfully. Sometimes I swam, and other times I lay in the sun. Even though I’ve always felt this way about the beach, and lived close by for the 15 years before that, I hadn’t done any of these things since I was a kid. I had suffered from eating disorders and body image issues and so had deprived myself of decades of pure pleasure. How tragic that we humans do such things. But one choice aligned to your inner Truth can change it all.

I felt SO good even on that first day, that I felt inspired to do a video ( for my Utube channel) and call it Designer Alignment which became the first of a year-long DIY Designer Living Series. I also birthed a Blog Talk Radio radio show and blog series by the same name.

Do What You Love

The point is this one decision was so aligned to my authentic nature and things I desire and am passionate about, that the next year has brought wave after wave of new freedoms that have rippled directly out from that one intentional act. I knew I was wanting to create in myself the state of being harmonious to living at the beach, but the “across the board” shifts this brought to every area of my life has left me breathless with joy.

Firstly, the exercise which provoked better eating, and all that productivity and creativity (photography/writing) sprang from it. But also, I felt so much better about everything and about myself and so much more at home on the sand that I even began to lie in a bikini when sunning. This was a HUGE step. The beach feels “safe” to me. These new levels of freedom just grew stronger and stronger to the point where I can genuinely say I so love my body (called Rosita lol) exactly as she is and this confidence has an impact on everything, not least of all my performances. I am a professional musician/singer and looking and feeling your best counts for a lot!

Fears Fall, Love Reigns and Life is Lived to the Full.

The personal expansion and growth I’ve been experienced continues to amaze and delight me. A year ago I couldn’t see how I could have a place on the beach at Burleigh. I just believed I could and would manifest it at some point. Now, a year later, both of my remaining offspring ( I have five) moved out within 8 days of each other and I find myself in a position to find my new dream place. I am applying for one tomorrow that is perfect!

Another lovely realisation I’ve had this last week, is that I’ve started to “play” in the waves and body surf again. I find myself laughing, tumbling and enjoying the activity amid flashbacks to my 12 yr old days in Avalon ( Sydney’s Northern beaches) which would have been the last time I did that. I had become so self conscious about my body after that, and fearful of the waves that I couldn’t enjoy these things any more.

Both of these barriers to living my life fully and completely and joyfully, have crumbled under the power of this one aligned and whole hearted decision, which led to consistent action that broke through to create this new state of being.

These days I’m down there morning and night-closing the distance to my brand new life as a single, dependentless individual and transitioning fully into the life I began to consciously create a year ago.

What this Means to You

Figure out, if you don’t know already, what it is that you deeply desire. Choose one thing and think about what you can begin to do NOW and in an ongoing way, to begin to generate that state for you. A simple example could be that you want to grow your own food. A vegie garden and chook pen could be too much but some potted tomato vines, sprout tubs and small herb planters are easily undertaken. BEGIN! Don’t wait till you finally have that larger lot. Begin and watch what happens inside you as you continue along the path that is authentically you.
