The Law of Pure Potentiality

    The source of all creation is pure consciousness, pure potentiality seeking expression from the unmanifest to the manifest. 

    And once we realize that our true Self is one in every of pure potentiality, we align with the facility that manifests everything within the universe. 

          In the beginning, there was neither existence nor non-existence, 

    The first spiritual law of success is that the Law of Pure Potentiality. This law relies on the fact that we are, in our essential state, pure consciousness. Pure consciousness is pure potentiality; it's the sector of all possibilities and infinite creativity. Pure consciousness is our spiritual essence. Being infinite and unbounded, it's also pure joy. 

    Other attributes of consciousness are pure knowledge, infinite silence, perfect balance, invincibility, simplicity, and bliss. this is often our essential nature. Our essential nature is one in every of pure potentiality. When you discover your essential nature and know who you actually are, therein knowing itself is that the ability to meet any dream you have got, because you're the eternal possibility, the immeasurable potential of all that was, is, and can be. The Law of Pure Potentiality could even be called the Law of Unity because underlying the infinite diversity of life is that the unity of 1 all-pervasive spirit. there's no separation between you and this field of energy. the sphere of pure potentiality is your own Self. And also the more you experience your true nature, the closer you're to the sector of pure potentiality. 

    The experience of the Self, or self-referral, means our internal reference is our own spirit, and not the objects of our experience. the alternative of self-referral is object-referral. In object-referral we are always influenced by objects outside the Self, which include situations, circumstances, people, and things. In object-referral we are constantly seeking the approval of others. Our thinking and our behavior are always in anticipation of a response. it's therefore fear-based. 

    In object-referral we also feel an intense have to control things. We feel an intense need for external power. the necessity for approval, the necessity to manage things, and also the need for external power are needs that are supported by fear. this sort of power isn't the ability of pure potentiality, or the facility of the Self, or real power. Once we experience the facility of the Self, there's an absence of fear, there's no compulsion to manage, and no struggle for approval or external power.

    In object-referral, your internal point of reference is your ego. The ego, however, is not who you really are. The ego is your self-image; it's your social mask; it's the role you're playing. Your social mask thrives on approval. It wants to regulate, and it's sustained by power because it lives in fear. 

    Your true Self, which is your spirit, your soul, is completely freed from those things. It is immune to criticism, it's unfearful of any challenge, and it feels beneath nobody. And yet, it is also humble and feels superior to nobody, because it recognizes that everybody else is that the same Self, the identical spirit in numerous disguises. 

    The essential difference between object-referral and self-referral. In self-referral, you experience your true being, which is unfearful of any challenge, has to respect for all people and feels beneath nobody. Self-power is therefore true power. 

    Power-supported object referral, however, is fake power. Being ego-based power, it lasts only as long because the object of reference is there. If you have got a particular title if you're the president of the country or the chairman of a company or if you have got lots of cash, the power you enjoy goes with the title, with the duty, with the cash. Ego-based power will only last as long as those things last. As soon because the title, the job, the money escape, so does the power. Self-power, on the opposite hand, is permanent, because it's supported the knowledge of the Self. And there are certain characteristics of self-power. It draws people to you, and it also draws things that you just want to you. It magnetizes people, situations, and circumstances to support your desires. this is often also called support from the laws of nature. it's the support of divinity; it's the support that comes from being within the state of grace. 

    Your power is specified you enjoy a bond with people, and other people enjoy a bond with you. Your power is that of bonding a bonding that comes from true love. How can we apply the Law of Pure Potentiality, the sector of all possibilities, to our lives? If you want to enjoy the advantages of the sphere of pure potentiality, if you would like to form full use of the creativity which is inherent in pure consciousness, then you've got to own access thereto. One way to access the sphere is thru the daily practice of silence, meditation, and non-judgment. Spending time in nature also will offer you access to the qualities inherent within the field: infinite creativity, freedom, and bliss. Practicing silence means making a commitment to require a particular amount of your time to easily Be. 

    Experiencing silence means periodically withdrawing from the activity of speech. It also means periodically withdrawing from such activities as watching television, taking note of the radio, or reading a book. If you never give yourself the chance to experience silence, this creates turbulence in your internal dialogue. Set aside a bit of time every once in a very while to experience silence. or just make a commitment to take care of silence for a particular period daily. you may bed for 2 hours, or if that seems lots, eff for a one-hour period. and each once in an exceedingly while experience silence for an extended period of your time, like a full day, or two days, or perhaps a full week. 

    What happens once you get into this experience of silence? Initially, your internal dialogue becomes even more turbulent. you are feeling intense must say things. I've known those that go absolutely crazy the primary day or two after they commit themselves to an extended period of silence. a way of urgency and anxiety suddenly comes over them. But as they stick with the experience, their internal dialogue begins to quieten. and shortly the silence becomes profound. 

    This is because after a long time the mind gives up; it realizes there's no point in going around and around if you the Self, the spirit, the choice-maker don't seem to be visiting speak, period. Then, as the internal dialogue quietens, you start to experience the stillness of the sector of pure potentiality. Practicing silence periodically because it is convenient to you is a technique to experience the Law of Pure Potentiality. Spending time every day in meditation is another. Ideally, you ought to meditate a minimum of thirty minutes within the morning, and thirty minutes within the evening. 

    Through meditation, you may learn to experience the sector of pure silence and pure awareness. in this field of pure silence is that the field of infinite correlation, the sphere of infinite organizing power, the final word ground of creation where everything is inseparably connected with everything else. 

    In the fifth spiritual law, the Law of Intention and Desire, you may see how you'll be able to introduce a faint impulse of intention during this field, and also the creation of your desires will happen spontaneously. But first, you have got to experience stillness. Stillness is that the first requirement for manifesting your desires because in stillness lies your connection to the sphere of pure potentiality that can orchestrate an infinity of details for you. 

    Imagine throwing a bit of stone into a still pond and watching it ripple. Then, after a long time, when the ripples calm down, perhaps you throw another little stone. That's exactly what you do once you get in the sector of pure silence and introduce your intention. during this silence, even the faintest intention will ripple across the underlying ground of universal consciousness, which connects everything with everything else. But, if you are doing not experiencing stillness in consciousness if your mind is sort of a turbulent ocean, you may throw the Empire State Building into it, and you wouldn't notice a thing. within the Bible is that the expression, "Be still, and know that I'm God". 

    This could only be accomplished through meditation. Another way to access the sector of pure potentiality is through the practice of non-judgment. 

    Judgment is that the constant evaluation of things as right or wrong, good or bad. When you are constantly evaluating, classifying, labeling, analyzing, you create lots of turbulence in your internal dialogue. 

    This turbulence constricts the flow of energy between you and also the field of pure potentiality. You literally squeeze the gap between thoughts. The gap is your connection to the sector of pure potentiality. it's that state of pure awareness, that silent space between thoughts, that inner stillness that connects you to true power. And after you squeeze the gap, you squeeze your connection to the sphere of pure potentiality and infinite creativity. 

    There is a prayer in an exceedingly Course in Miracles that states, Today I shall judge nothing that occurs. Non-judgment creates silence in your mind. it's a decent idea, therefore, to start your day therewith statement. And throughout the day, remind yourself of that statement every time you catch yourself judging. If practicing this procedure for the entire day seems too difficult, then you'll simply inform yourself, For the subsequent two hours, I won't judge anything, or For the next hour, I'll experience non-judgment. Then you'll extend it gradually. Through silence, through meditation, and thru non-judgment, you may access the primary law, the Law of Pure Potentiality. 

    Once you begin doing that, you'll be able to add a fourth component to this practice, which is often spending time in direct communion with nature. Spending time in nature enables you to sense the harmonious interaction of all the weather and forces of life, and offers you a way of unity with all of life. Whether or not it's a stream, a forest, a mountain, a lake, or the seashore, that reference to nature's intelligence also will facilitate your access to the field of pure potentiality. 

    You must learn to induce up-to-date with the innermost essence of your being. This true essence is beyond the ego. it's fearless; it's free; it's resistant to criticism; it doesn't fear any challenge. It is beneath nobody, superior to nobody, and stuffed with magic, mystery, and enchantment. 

    Access to your true essence will offer you insight into the mirror of a relationship, because all relationships may be a reflection of your relationship with yourself. for instance, if you have got guilt, fear, and insecurity over money, or success, or the rest, then these are reflections of guilt, fear, and insecurity as basic aspects of your personality. No amount of cash or success will solve these basic problems of existence; only intimacy with the Self will bring on true healing. And after you are grounded within the knowledge of your true Self once you really understand your true nature you may never feel guilty, fearful, or insecure about money, or affluence, or fulfilling your desires, because you may realize that the essence of all material wealth is life energy, it's pure potentiality. And pure potentiality is your intrinsic nature. 

    As you gain more and more access to your true nature, you'll also spontaneously receive creative thoughts, because the sector of pure potentiality is additionally the sphere of infinite creativity and pure knowledge. writer, the Austrian philosopher and poet, once said you would like not to leave your room. Remain sitting at your table and listen. you wish not even listen, simply wait. "You need not even wait, just learn to become quiet, and still, and solitary. the globe will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked. it's no choice; it'll appear ecstasy at your feet."

    The affluence of the universe the lavish display and the abundance of the universe is an expression of the creative mind of nature. The more tuned in you're to the mind of nature, the more you've got access to its infinite, unbounded creativity. But first, you have got to travel beyond the turbulence of your internal dialogue to attach therewith abundant, affluent, infinite, creative mind. then you create the likelihood of dynamic activity while at the identical time carrying the stillness of the eternal, unbounded, creative mind. This exquisite combination of silent, unbounded, infinite mind together with the dynamic, bounded, individual mind is that the perfect balance of stillness and movement simultaneously that may create whatever you would like. 

    This coexistence of opposites stillness and dynamism at the identical time causes you to independent of situations, circumstances, people, and things. When you quietly acknowledge this exquisite coexistence of opposites, you align yourself with the planet of energy the quantum soup, the non-material non-stuff that's the source of the material world. 

    This world of energy is fluid, dynamic, resilient, changing, forever in motion. And yet it's also non-changing, still, quiet, eternal, and silent. Stillness alone is that the potentiality for creativity; movement alone is creativity restricted to a certain aspect of its expression. But the mixture of movement and stillness enables you to unleash your creativity altogether directions wherever the facility of your attention takes you. 

Wherever you come in the midst of movement and activity, carry your stillness within you. Then the chaotic movement around you may never overshadow your access to the reservoir of creativity, the sphere of pure potentiality. 

I will put the Law of Pure Potentiality into effect by making a commitment to require the following steps: 

(1) I will be able to get in grips with the sphere of pure potentiality by taking time on a daily basis to be silent, to just Be. I will be able to also sit alone in silent meditation a minimum of twice each day for roughly thirty minutes within the morning and thirty minutes within the evening. 

(2) I'll take time day after day to commune with nature and to silently witness the intelligence within every physical object. I will be able to sit silently and watch a sunset, or hear the sound of the ocean or a stream, or just smell the scent of a flower. within the ecstasy of my own silence, and by communing with nature, 1 will enjoy the lire throb of ages, the field of pure potentiality and unbounded creativity.

(3) I'll practice non-judgment. I will be able to begin my day with the statement, "Today, I shall judge nothing that happens," and throughout the day I will be able to remind myself to not judge.
