If you wish to complete the process of the Laws of the Universe, you must use the Law of Allowing. This is where the cycle of energy comes in. When you use your thoughts to manifest something in your life, you are in fact telling the universe what you want. The Law of Attraction states that what you think about or wish for you will receive. What you must agree on is that you are worthy to receive your gift. This, my friends, is what you need to do if you want to get what you want.
If you wish for more money, intent it. Don't go around saying you can't afford something. If you tell the universe you want it and are ready to receive it, you will get it. The universe hears you and obeys. Your wish is my command and you get what I wish.
The best way to practice the Law of Allowing is by simply saying "yes" to things you receive. If someone says something nice to you, say "thanks" You are telling the person you are allowing his comments to be received. What you say "no" to may benefit you in the long run later.
Chapter 10
Summary
The basic premise with the Law of Attraction, Law of Vibration, Law of Gratitude, Law of Love, and Law of Allowing, is that when you practice these laws, and stay in harmony with them, you will prosper. You will have abundance. You will have plenty.
There is no denying it. Your thoughts control your actions. Your thoughts dictate what you end up getting from the Universe. If you believe completely that you will receive what you wish for, good things will come your way.
You must accept that which you wish upon. You must be tuned into the universe to get it. You must be in vibration to what you want. You must show the universe you want it by having gratitude for what you have received. You also must show that you are allowing it by being receptive to it and saying “yes” to it when it comes. By doing this, the universe will manifest it to reality and provide you more.
The main point with this book is to draw your attention to the fact that there are universal laws God put in place to help us. He loves us and wants the best for us. By acting in harmony with his will and by obeying his universal laws, you will have plenty. You just have to start the process with a thought, turn that thought in an image, send it to your heart for processing (this turns into emotions and feelings), act on your thoughts, and allow the results to come to you. By doing this you will receive results from your thoughts, whether they are good or bad.
The old saying is, “be careful what you wish for” or “you are your thoughts” holds true here in every respect. Therefore, watch your thoughts if you want the best that life has to offer.
