This is so simple that it may escape your understanding unless you take
time to consider it. So please consider it carefully:
Every thought is a cause that has an effect at some level. That is the
power of our thoughts and beliefs.
Reality is abundant, peaceful and fully powerful, but the illusions are
of scarcity and suffering. When we drop an illusion, Reality is
naturally already there waiting to be uncovered, to be chosen over the
illusion.
Because of these two points, there is no order of difficulty in
anything! Do you see that? The only order of difficulty that you experience
actually exists in your mind and nowhere else. To the extent that you
believe a thing to be difficult, it is. To the extent that you don't, it
isn't. Every thought is a decision acted upon accurately by the
universe. And because a decision is effortlessly made, its results are
effortless. When you decide you are broke and believe it, you do so
effortlessly. You need not do anything to make that decision. You just make it,
sitting there. Yet because of that effortless decision, you experience
your world as you decide. Yet you can just as easily and effortlessly
decide and believe that you are wealthy, and the universe will follow. To
the extent that you believe you need to do certain things, or go
through certain conditions, you shall find achievement hard or easy.
Remember, every single little thought that flashes in your mind is a powerful
yet effortless decision that causes an equivalent effect. If you believe
that you can succeed but only by doing A, B, C and D, so shall it be.
If you decide you think there is a risk of you not getting C, so shall
it be. If you are unclear and always changing your mind about your life,
so shall it be. If even for a split second you think 'but what if I
screw up...' that thought shall have some effect at some level. Even the
most insignificant-seeming little-looking idea and feeling is executed
exactly and perfectly by the universe for you. Remember, you are an
extension of God's Own Thought and your thought therefore carries similar
power. It is just as easy and effortless to decide either way. It is as
easy and effortless to decide to have $1 as it is to have $1 billion.
It is the belief that differences exist that makes them so. Money, like
everything else, is an idea, a thought that manifests. And all thoughts
are effortlessly made. This is your infinite power.
In any case, an illusion never existed; it only appears to be, upheld
by a belief in it. No one illusion is more real than another, and as
soon as any illusion is dropped, magnificent Reality is there waiting.
Your only real goal should be to heal your mind, to restore it to its
original splendor. All else will follow automatically.
In the Bible, Jesus at one point looked at those who were surprised by
his miracles and, asking them why they were so surprised, assured them
that "these things you shall do and more."
