The
Law
of Abundance
by John Randolph Price |
In this article we will look at the Law’s
commandments, move into harmony and dance with that
rhythm, and see what it means to take on a consciousness
of abundance. It is time to realize that nothing is
too good to be true.
THE COSMIC MANDATES
Ageless Wisdom is emphatic in stating that
the reason we do not enjoy the fullness of abundant life
is because we do not personally identify with the third
aspect of our divinity, the creative feminine medium,
the Law of all manifestation.
The Law is a Presence, a Creative Mind possessing the
absolute certainties of universal decrees. Taking it one
step at a time, let’s look at the whole process of Law
as it reveals that which is good, true, and beautiful in
life.
1. Recognize the Divine Feminine within as the Law,
Force, and Power of all manifest form and experience.
This aspect of the Whole spirit known
as the Divine Mother is the source and cause of all
visible effects. She is creative energy, substance,
light, the agent of Divine Will. She is universal and
individual, eternally flowing through the state of
consciousness that we are holding before her. However,
through our use of free will, we are able to break her
laws, be arrested (seized in consciousness), and through
the self-pronouncement of guilt, go through a punishment
state appropriate for the offense. But now we’re going
to take control of our lives and live as the Masters of
our Destiny.
2. The Law’s Commandments:
"You must be…"
These are absolute Cosmic
Pronouncements of Truth. In my book, Angel Energy,
I wrote: "Spiritual Law is the way the universe
works. It is energy in action according to a
predetermined objective, as in the Law of Abundance, the
Law of Love. It is the Power of God in operation as
Cause, as Principle, as Truth. It is the sum total of
the Omniscience Energy of the universe saying, ‘This
is the way it is, and nothing can change my mind. You
are forever whole and flawless, abundantly supplied with
every good thing, experiencing love in every encounter,
enjoying success and fulfillment in every activity of
life, and remaining eternally in a state of gladness,
joy, and contentment.’
"But when we don’t know the
Law, or are not consciously aware of the way things
really are, we make up our own laws, and then we have to
live with them until they are repealed through an
understanding that these self-imposed ordinances are in
violation of our own inner Supreme Court. Isn’t it
time to get out of the law-making business and rely only
on the Constitution of Being, the Original Statutes of
God?"
The basic idea in this second step is
that in the workings of the Law, there are Divine
Imperatives, Commandments that say, in effect, that’s
the way it is regardless of your beliefs, arguments, or
resistance. You need only to agree and accept. Nothing
else is necessary.
To explain further, look at wealth,
abundance, prosperity, and riches from the standpoint of
the material plane. This state of affairs is a mandate,
and order, an edict, a decree: "You must, by
law, be rich." There is no way around it from the
divine view because the Creative Principle has
absolutely no limitations, fills all space so there is
no lack anywhere, and never measures out just a few
riches into manifestation. Her energy-in-expression
flows unending in full force with equal and total
distribution for all. Emerson knew this when he wrote,
"Man is born to be rich." Women too, I might
add.
Why is abundance "written on the
heart" as a law? Why is money a divine idea and a
spiritual asset? Because Infinite Wisdom knows there is
a need on the physical plane for a medium of exchange,
an instrument of goodwill. Without the proper funds to
live a life of all-sufficiency, consciousness depresses,
fear enters, and we resort to manipulating, begging
borrowing, or stealing. Not helpful activities in the
reawakening process of realizing Who and What we are.
Therefore, we are provided with all that we could
possibly need or want in a particular lifetime.
The Law has already given us a lavish
abundance which is appearing as money. "Where is
it?" you might ask, "it certainly isn’t in
my bank account." The money may not be in your bank
account yet, but it’s certainly out there in manifest
form, touched by Creative Mind with your coded imprint.
And there’s more than you could possibly need in this
incarnation, once you understand the Law.
I realize that not everyone wants to
be really rich. They don’t want the
responsibilities, the so-called pressures of wealth. So
they find what they consider the appropriate level of
comfort/contentment in the mental-emotional nature, and
perhaps unconsciously, turn the supply valve to off. We
are our own experience based on the decisions we make in
life.
3. Agree with the Law and accept
the truth that you have been given everything.
When we do this, our
consciousness becomes the Law of Abundance. We take on
the energy, power, and force of the Creative Feminine
Principle and become an open channel for the radiation
through us. Are we suddenly rich in the phenomenal
world? What takes place with only a partial or limited
agreement and acceptance is similar to a light being
turned on in consciousness, and ideas begin to fly to
the light like moths. These ideas are in the form of
helpful solutions, actions to take to bring about relief
in the situation. Then once the fear has been quieted
through purposeful activity, Creative Mind takes the
next step and begins to connect you, through streams of
her light, with the people, places, situations, and
conditions to bring more of the already-present
abundance into your life. From there you continue your
upward climb until the gifts of the Law are fully
recognized.
A complete agreement and acceptance,
however, would indeed produce seeming miracles without
the limitation of time. The person’s life would be
dramatically different, with Cause moving directly into
effect, Mind into manifestation.
When we begin to work with the idea
that I must be rich, the first thing we will
notice is that we are no longer concerned about
anything. Worry and feelings of unfulfilled desires will
fade away, and once this takes place, we will begin to
see things differently. The imaging faculty will open
wide and we will see not only the possibilities-to-come,
but the realities of have, now, which will
strengthen the faith vibration.
Then, on one particular day, we’ll
know that we have moved into a new dimension. The first
evidence of this may be a tremendous feeling of joy and
gratitude. And in the days that follow we’ll have
money from unexpected sources, new avenues of success
opening up, and a wonderful outpouring of love from
people.

DANCE WITH LIFE TO FULFILL THE
LAW OF ABUNDANCE
Dance: Rhythmical steps and
motions. Life: Livingness, living fully with
vitality, spirit, zest. Put them together, add music
(harmony), and you have the Dance of Life.
You may love to dance—to swing,
sway, twirl, and shake for the joy of it. But the key is
to carry the feeling and flow into life itself. When you
dance, the focus is narrowed to let your body, mind, and
spirit become one with the cadence, time, and rhythm of
the music. Now let’s see how this works with the
abundance aspect of life.
You can’t get money. It’s the
other way around. Money is constantly striving to get
you, to give of itself. But you put up a barrier by
worrying about it. And money asks, "Why do you
worry about me? You treat me like a lost little kid, but
I’m just fine. Quit being anxious. Open your arms and
receive me. Come on, let’s dance together."
Money is happy, always smiling. It
loves what it does, what it buys, and the pleasures it
gives. After all, money is the energy of love in visible
form. Its energy is feminine; its root is eternal
goodness. In The Abundance Book I wrote: "By
working with the rhythmic Energy of Self, whatever form
that was needed for exchange (the legal tender at the
time) was brought forth as an instrument of goodwill.
As such, ‘money’ was simply a token of appreciation
of one’s service, a symbol of love and
integrity."
We know that the source of
energy-to-be-form is Mother-Substance, the energy that
appears as money. Bring that feminine energy into your
heart, into your feeling nature, and listen to her
music. It’s a love song. Dance with her as she sings
to you, knowing that the energy flowing through your
oneness will open every door to let money in. And as it
does, you begin to feel richer and richer. Dance with
that feeling.
Now think on these thoughts:
There is always an abundance of
money, and I now let it come to me. I am open to
receive.
I cannot be limited, for I am the
Shining Sun of Supply, and God’s wealth fills my
world.
Catch the vibration. Hear the music
of abundance. Move in step with it, and you’ll
understand why Louise Hay says that money is the easiest
thing to demonstrate. It is, when you dance with
abundance. When you move in oneness with that energy,
beliefs in lack and limitation, the only thing that is
limiting you, are transformed.
DEVELOPING A GREATER CONSCIOUSNESS OF ABUNDANCE
Consciousness can be defined as
awareness, understanding, and knowledge about any
particular aspect of life. We know that we cannot have
wealth without a consciousness of abundance. It is said
that every thought is a prayer, that thoughts are things
and things are thoughts. We are continually creating our
world by our states of consciousness, and I’ve had
people tell me that that’s a real downer for them.
Reason: when there’s scarcity, it is difficult to see
the reality of abundance. It’s hard to see the
mountaintop when walking through quicksand.
So what’s the answer? First of all,
we must be aware of the Truth of abundance.
"Aware" means to be conscious, mindful. Of
what? Of the fact that our Spirit sees us as rich, with
unlimited finances for use on the material plane. We
were literally financed by God when we came into this
incarnation, and more wealth cannot be given, for it is
eternally flowing without restriction. Pause for a
moment and think about this.
Next we shift our focus to the
omnipresent Mother-Substance, the creative energy of the
universe that fills all space, including our energy
fields. As I said earlier, this is the Law of Wealth,
the Principle of Abundance. While this energy
continually flows through our consciousness to provide
everything we could ever need, the Intelligence of
that Creative Mind remains within us, listening to our
every word (belief). And the word is made flesh (form).
Contemplate this.
As we become aware of this one Mind
in different vibrations, we have taken the first step in
developing a consciousness of abundance. Now we must
move into understanding. We can be aware of the
multiplication table, but unless we understand what it
means, it will be of little use to us.
To understand means to grasp the
meaning of, comprehend, realize—and this is where
meditation is so important. We contemplate with ease the
truth that our Whole Self wants to express through us as
lavish abundance. Meditate on the idea that it is the
Divine Will that you be financed in all your endeavors,
always with plenty to spare and share.
Now think of this universe being
filled with Divine Substance. It is everywhere present;
it is impossible for scarcity to exist. You literally
live, move, and have your being in the Creative Energy
of the Universe. It is everywhere at once—in, around,
and through you—a sea of infinite plenty, throbbing,
pulsating, alive. Meditate on the idea of Substance
until it becomes real to you. This is the World Mother,
the working side of God as Law. Feel her currents as she
radiates through your consciousness to manifest and
attract visible supply into your life and affairs.
Through these meditative exercises,
understanding will lead to knowledge. You will know that
there is always plenty, plenty, plenty—that God’s
Will is being done through you, and that lack and
limitation have been nothing but an illusion. At this
point you relax and let the Law prove to you the truth
of your abundance. You do not outline how it is to come
forth. You simply let God do the work.
Think on these thoughts:
My conscious awareness of the Divine
Presence as my supply is my supply. I am now consciously
aware of the indwelling fountain of overflowing
abundance. Therefore, I AM abundant supply. My
consciousness is the very energy of money.
I AM the Spirit of Infinite Plenty. I
am boundless abundance, and with love in my heart, I let
the universal riches stream forth into perfect
manifestation.
What is expressed in love must be
returned in full measure. Therefore, wave after wave of
visible money supply flows to me now. I am wonderfully
rich in consciousness, and I am bountifully supplied
with money.
I now realize my plan for abundant
living.
