MAKING THINGS HAPPEN

 

 

 When God created, He dreamed first.  He thought of the things He wanted to create, the things He must do.  God made a master plan.  Then He formulated the rules and laws He must follow in carrying out His master plan so that the things He dreamed about, the things He wanted to create, will happen out of nothing.  For creation needs a dream, an idea, a sketch, or skeleton on which creation is to hang.  Creation needs a master plan so that created beings will fall into order.

 

By making a master plan, He was able to foresee the imperfections of His created beings as a result of His endowing them with limited attributes.  As a result, He knew in advance the imminent fall of a Lucifer He would create, of the fall of Adam and Eve, and accordingly, He plugged the deficiencies.  Thus, He    realized that the created beings will have to follow the process of evolution in the material as well as in the spiritual plane to purify and perfect itself before it could go back and be part of Him, the creator.

 

Because of the nature of imperfection, the lack of attributes, God imposed the principle of duality and evolution.  God cannot endow an individual or created being all His attributes because had He done so there would be no creation at all because the created being will be Himself and therefore one and the same, and will have no independent existence apart from Himself.  It is like saying that 12/4 = 3. Although 3 and 12/4 are different in form, however they are one and the same in value.  It will be just like calling a chair "chair" in English and "silya" in Pilipino. But they are the same.  That is why God has to separate Himself into three elements:  Will Power, Intelligence, and Love.  God the Father received more of Will Power, the Holy Spirit more of Intelligence, and God the Son more of Love. These three have one and the same source, God the Infinite.

 

You can have a parallelism in mathematics to make us understand the complex nature of our Creator.  Think of God the Infinite as the Cartesian coordinate system whose points are infinite.  Then think of God the Father as the plane of the x-axis.  Think of God the Mother as the plane of the y-axis.  Their intersections (x,y) could be considered as God the Son.  Note that the three dimensions (x-axis, y-axis, and (x,y) coordinates) have positive and negative values (similar to left and right spirit).  The equations and God the infinite all have the infinite points, which is the essence of being God.  And God's created beings are but sets of limited points in their original creation.  But God gave them the power to add more points or attributes through the process of evolution.

 

The created beings like Lucifer and Adam and Eve could lose the points when they do not follow God's master. plan.  Only God the Infinite knows of the master plan.  For if you were the architect, will you tell your house your master plan?   The "house" may not understand and if it can, it may complain and rebel.  But you can deduce things from the master plan.   For example, there is order amidst the contrast due to the operation of the principle of duality, which principle makes God's creation very interesting.  Without it, there would be monotony.

 

Why did we investigate God's way of creation?  Men are tiny images of God.  You are a subset of attributes belonging to God.  His power of creation, that attribute, has been imparted to you.  Man can create, in a limited way of course.  For example, if man learns with his Intelligence the "mantra" or word used by God to create an atom, then you can create an atom.  If man learns the word Jesus Christ used to drive out the devil, then man will be able to drive out the devil.  If man learns the word used by God to summon and command the devil, then man can like God summon and command the devil.  Jesus Christ when he was born on Earth came as man and not as God because he wanted to prove to God that man, after the fall of Adam and Eve, given enough time can evolve to higher spiritual perfection.  Thus, Jesus embarked on a course of perfection on Will Power, Intelligence, and Love.  When he attained them, he said, "I am the truth, the life, and the way."  Therefore, to be saved and be one with God eventually, you have to follow his footsteps.

 

How then do you increase your Will Power?   How do you make things happen? How do you create?   From the first paragraphs you can see how God created so you follow Him and you start with a master plan.  Then you formulate the rules for attaining the master plan.

 

What is your master plan?  Why are you here on Earth?   Just to eat, be merry, and die afterwards?  No.  You are here to learn the elements of God:  to be perfect in Will Power, to be perfect in Intelligence, and to be perfect in Love.  Do not worry; you are not given just an Earth's life time to do it.  You are given an eternity but the sooner you do perfect yourself, the better.  Jesus Christ did it in a lifetime (33 years).  So it can be done in a lifetime and you can reach a spiritual level higher than your ordinary concept of your "heaven.”

 

Therefore, to make things happen, to create, first you dream.  Before sleeping is the best time.  Let the dream grow as you sleep.  You visualize clearly what you want in life and clothe it with positive things.  Tell yourself it will happen, not tomorrow but in a time most appropriate.  Visualizing what you want to happen is just like planting a seed in the garden of heaven.  You water it with prayers.  When enough water is regularly supplied to its roots, the plant will later on bear fruit.  Then the things you want, the dream will come true.  As you visualize your master plan, you think of the things you need to do to carry out the plan.  Because you pray as you do this, God in heaven sends "tips" to facilitate the materialization of this master plan of yours.

 

This master plan can be applied to your profession, to your career, at home, in business, or to your goal of perfection.  It is important that you create the plan, visualize the things you want to happen.  Then pray.  The prayer will infuse pranic energy to your plan and make it happen in the material plane.

 

 Why is this so?  Every material component has a spiritual counterpart, by the principle of duality.  Thus, if you write a book, you will have created a new being which has a spiritual counterpart.

 

When you want something to happen, when you want to ask help from heaven above, it is important therefore to first visualize.  Have a master plan with which you want something to happen, like having a house.  Then dream of the ways you can have one.  Then pray to God to hasten the process.  When you visualize in effect you have already created the spiritual component.  When you have thought of the ways you can attain it, in effect you have ordered your body to construct the material component.  When you pray, in effect, you ask for pranic energy to strengthen you to carry out the materialization.  You ask for pranic energy to infect other people instrumental in making your mental creation to materialize.  Thus, you follow the footsteps of God in His creation of the material world.

 

When you find out you can do make things happen with this technique, then apply this technique to your primary goal of spiritual perfection.  To master this technique of "spiritual components creation," practice first on little things, like getting a sale, convincing a customer, or passing an exam.  Then you apply it to getting a job, getting rid of a bad habit, sticking to regular prayer, or controlling one's temperament.  Then you go to more difficult visualizations:  having a house, organizing a booming business, and climbing the ladder of spiritual perfection.  Note that for every material accomplishment you want realized, you should accompany it with every desire for spiritual perfection.  When you do this, God the Father will be pleased and send you pranic energy (graces) to make your spiritual creations turn to material accomplishments.
