The Law of Allowing states “Our negative beliefs, thoughts and statements are the only barriers to the compete fulfillment of every one of our desires. The moment we express a desire for something, the universe is already delivering it to us. Our ability to receive is limited by the negative thoughts we think and statements we make.”
As such, it can be inferred that many of our woes are indeed due to our own self-limiting beliefs – beliefs on the scarcity of resources, beliefs on the limited sources of our happiness, beliefs that we are not worthy of grace, beliefs that we do not deserve the blessings and gifts God has placed before us, ready to find our way into our lives if only we would receive them with an open and grateful heart.
When we worry and trust not upon the generous and loving hand of our God, we close the door through which we desire all things good to come in. When we surrender not to a higher power leading us, we forfeit the opportunity to be guided in ways we couldn’t have known ourselves. We forfeit our chance to be surprised; we do not allow our Father to move us in that moment of joy when He leads us in ways we know nothing about.
“Why do you fear? O, you of little faith!”
When we continue to fret, and we force our own will against our undiscovered highest desires, we forbid our own happiness to come, and we content ourselves with second bests and leftovers that make us glad, but fail to make us sing with awe from a heart of true gratitude.
In our prayers, we utter what we want, but with our hearts and hands, we try to take control of everything as though we did not believe Someone heard us, and Someone has started His works to answer our deepest desires.
Such is the way we close our lives from the blessings that come our way, of not allowing the best gifts of God to reach us and make us happy. This is true, and I refute it not.
Yet on the other hand, we must not forget that allowing is not synonymous to giving up, to irresponsibility, or to plain laziness of the flesh in desiring for things it has no strength to take hold of.
Allowing is also not blindly letting go to the wills and consciousness of those who do not care for our highest good. Ask yourself at all times, “To whom am I surrendering to? What would this being make of me when I allow him to permeate my very soul?”
“The world is mental”, they say. “
“What you think, you also create.”
In the end it is not a battle of what is seen, but of what is unseen, of forces and consciousness whose powers we do not know.
Are you opening yourself to goodness, to self enlightenment and empowerment? Or are you risking the influence of forces more adept and skilled at manipulating the reality you believe in?
The Universe is generous, as it is good, as there is good. Yet the universe is also harsh, as there is an opposite force to every good that there is.
Which side of the universe are you allowing to permeate your being? Which God are you allowing to influence your soul? How would you even know? By the feeling of ecstasy you have? By the marvellous things you see? The greatest deceit is not the deceit of darkness, but that of light, the light that shines as though it is the brightest, although it is not.
I allow only One God to influence my whole being, the only God who has ever died and suffered for me!
