I received this question today from a client:
Hi Debbie,
I bought the book Law of Attraction. I have been reading it, but am feeling a little unsettled about it. I believe in God, are they saying that God isn’t involved in our daily lives and we are the only ones guiding us.
I really respect your opinion and have been very unnerved because I feel I am having a hard time with my thoughts. I worry that if I feel something negative it will come my way. I realize I am being irrational but things are hard enough with the thought that God may not be with me.
Could you give me some insight so I can relax.
Thank you for your time!!
Hi - no, I think what they’re saying is that we are partners with God - so He’s helping us, but we’re not just helpless little lumps of clay waiting for an outside force to make things happen. We’re a part of that creative force, so that WITH God’s help, we’re an unbeatable team! Basically, they say that we’re not separate from God, but it feels like that because we have physical bodies that are separate beings. But it’s like if you took a glass of water from a lake and set it on a table. It would forget that it was once part of the bigger energy (the water) and think it was all alone, but if you just took away the glass and put the water back in the lake, it would realize that it was all the same energy force. So, if God is the lake water, and we’re a glass of that water, we’re still all part of the bigger picture, but we’ve lost sight of the fact that being in a separate vessel (a human body) doesn’t really mean we’re not a part of the same God energy.
So - rest easy. God is MORE with you in this philosophy than in any others I’ve learned about. In so many others, God is separate from us, all wise and all knowing, and we’re the poor dumb meatheads that haven’t a clue, so we’d better follow all the rules just right or we’ll be punished. This way of thinking about it makes so much more sense - that if we’re made in God’s image, then we have power, too! If Jesus said what he did, we can do too, this makes it really believable! Our thoughts create our reality, because God gives us that power, and God’s right at our side helping it to work!
In one of the Abraham lectures, I heard them say that they don’t use the word God very much, because we humans have so much old thinking attached to it, but that in reality, everything they’re talking about IS about God.
I’m glad you asked that question, because I think you can have a very joyous and fulfilling relationship with God, using this philosophy. Let me know how you’re doing!
Debbie
