Quantum physics has recently proven the fact that the mind is fully capable of attracting the things that clear intention is set upon and creates its own ‘reality’ by manifesting into physical form that on which it focuses. This concept has recently been capitalized on by certain books and films which reveal how the basic law of attraction can be manipulated to bring into manifestation the ‘desires of the heart’ whether it is financial gain or true love.
A Course in Miracles also supports the idea that as God’s perfect Son we were created to be creators and that each of us hold this powerful creative ability within. In fact, the Course says, “Your holiness reverses all the laws of the world. It is beyond all restriction of time, space, distance and any limitations of any kind.”
However, in the beginning of time we misused this creative ability by questioning our Oneness with God resulting in the creation of an ego (belief in a small separated self) and mis-perceiving our entire world as sinful, lacking, guilt-ridden and sick.
Still, the ego has now created another strategy to fool us into believing that we can somehow redecorate this mess by attracting to ourselves the things that will make it all seem more palatable. All we need to do is sit down and write a list of our intentions, put them out to the universe, believe they will happen and wait for the rewards to come in flowing.
But, how can we write a list of worthy goals and intentions when the Course tells us, “In no situation that arises do you realize the outcome that would make you happy. Therefore, you have no guide to appropriate action, and no way of judging the result. It is inevitable then that you will not serve your own best interests.”
Still, we all want to live better lives even if it is an illusion, so how can we best approach improving our situation without trying to make the illusion real by attempting to attract to ourselves what is not necessarily in our own best interest? i.e., more money, more love, more creativity, more freedom, bigger house, etc.
The answer is to understand that the ‘problem’ is only in our minds not in our pocketbook or relationships. Let’s face it, even people who seem to have it all in life still get depressed, anxious, sick and inevitably die. Fortunately, the Course assures us that there is only one problem, the false belief in separation, and one solution which is a shifted perception that we are the dreamer and not the dream. This is known as ‘the Miracle.’
The Miracle is the Holy Spirit’s solution to our insanity and wrong perception. In fact the miracle knows no order of difficulty when it comes to solving our perceived problems. All we need to do is have a ‘little willingness’ to have our minds healed and Holy Spirit, the “Remedy” will be more than happy to ‘correct’ our mistaken thoughts that we are lacking in any way.
Once we remember our true nature as perfect, amazing Sons of God we will realize that there is nothing that we actually need to attract because there is nothing we actually need... In fact, the Course says, “How can the perfect Son of God ask for more than everything?” All we need to do is simply open our arms and accept all that is already ours!
