Of all the emotions, guilt and resentment are the most damaging to us. In a recent study, the levels of acidity in human sweat were measured from people whilst they were feeling different emotions. The samples taken whilst the subject was feeling guilty were the most acidic, followed closely by resentment.

Buddha gives a very good definition of anger. He says that when you are angry, it is as if you a holding a burning coal. Your anger is affecting only you and until you release it, you will continue to do so.

Jesus was once asked by his disciple, Peter, how many times you should forgive someone. In Jewish scriptures, it was said that you should forgive them three times, so Peter, knowing how much Jesus valued forgiveness, asked if it was enough to forgive seven times. Jesus said that seven times was not enough and emphasised that you would need to forgive 70 x 7 times! All religions teach of forgiveness and Jesus’ answer show just how much forgiveness we must show to the world.

When Cynthia Kersey first met Bob Proctor, she had a lot of anger in her life. She asked Bob how she could better channel this anger. Bob advised her to do something more than her anger by finding something she was passionate about. Within the next few days, Cynthia met the founder of Habitat for Humanity and was inspired by her story. She committed to doing something that would be greater than her anger and she decided that she wanted to help build 100 homes in Nepal. Cynthia managed to achieve this goal and, in doing so, successfully released the anger within her and replaced it with purpose and forgiveness.

Take some time today to apply the Law of Forgiveness. What guilt and resentment are you holding that is literally burning away your spirit? Try to show the level of forgiveness that Jesus advised us to show and see if these destructive emotions are reduced in your life.

Bob Proctor once asked a group of young adults what the difference was between reacting and responding. A young lady gave Bob an enlightened answer. She said that reacting was out of habit, whilst you had to think about how you want to respond.

This is the basis of this law. Most of the time, we are habitually reacting to events and circumstances in our life, with such statements as ‘it’s too good to be true’ or ‘cannot last.’ This shuts out the law of non-resistance because so many of our conditioned paradigms work against the law.

By responding, however, you can work in harmony with the law and think of a solution that is compatible with who you really are.

Mary Morrissey describes how this law works very well. She says to imagine that you are like a small stream. At the beginning, when you start something new, you will find rocks and boulders in your way. However, as the stream grows into a river, these obstacles disappear. Likewise, we often always find obstacles at the start and once we have momentum on our side, these obstacles disappear.

The best way to deal with an obstacle is illustrated in this story. During Abraham Lincoln’s presidency, he had many fierce critics. One day, a lady said ‘President Lincoln, why don’t you just defeat your critics.’ Lincoln replied, ‘If I befriend my enemies, have I not defeated them?’ Lincoln knew that by blessing his critics and disarming the hatred and anger in them, he could win them over to his side. In fact, Lincoln even asked some of his ‘enemies’ to be in his Government. The next time you are faced with a challenge, bless it and win it over to your side. By doing this, it will go from being an obstacle to a stepping stone.

Take some time today to apply the Law of Non-Resistance. What are you resisting in your life? Take some time today to see if you react or respond to situations. If you react, take a deep breath, respond and see how much easier it is when working with the law.

Although most people would associate money with this law, the truth is that we can be paid in 3 ways: Happiness, Wealth and Health. These are the 3 currencies of the universe.

Our level of compensation is entirely dependent on the image we hold of ourselves in our mind. Bob Proctor gave an example of a fish shop where the owners were unorganised, untidy and were often late with deliveries. The fish shop soon failed. Shortly after, new owners came in who kept the shop organised, tidy and delivered on time. They had a different image of themselves and their business in their mind and, as a result, they succeeded in exactly the same shop that another person failed in.

In order to be compensated better, it is important to change your self image. Mary Morrissey gives 3 very quick ways to change your self image and how you are compensated:

1) Look to pay your own way – If you look to getting something for nothing, you are working with a contracting energy. Look towards paying your fair share and you will be in line with the energy of the Law of Compensation.

2) Look for value instead of price – If you first look at price and seek out the cheapest things, you are again working with a contracting energy. Look for value and work with this abundant energy.

3) Pay your bills on time and with gratitude – We all have bills to pay. However, the way in which we pay our bills determines how we work with this law. When you are next paying your telephone bills, be grateful of all of the phone calls you could make because of it. When you are paying your electricity bill, be grateful for everything in your home that is run by electricity. By doing this, you will start working with a positive energy that works in harmony with the Law of Compensation.

Take some time today to apply the Law of Compensation. Are you happy with how life is compensating you? If not, which of the 3 factors that Mary Morrissey gave can you change to ensure that you work in line with this law?

The simplest definition of this law is to call it the law of praise. Whatever you praise, grows.

Bob Proctor gave a very good example of this law in action. He was at the airport and there were sniffer dogs. When one dog found someone who was carrying an illegal item, the dog handler then gave that dog a small biscuit. By praising the dog and rewarding it this way, the dog would have an increased desire to do this next time.

There are numerous other examples of this law in action. There was a gentleman who would help waitresses double their tips. He told them that all they needed to do was send a wave of praise before they approached the table that they were serving. This worked well for all of the waitresses and they more than doubled their tips.

The reason why this happened is simple. There was a study done at Penn State University that looked at what happens to our physiology when we express gratitude. When the subjects showed appreciation and expressed gratitude verbally, their blood pressure, stress levels lowered and general level of wellbeing increased.

Although the application of this Law is declining in the Western World, there are certain parts of the world where it is widely applied.  In Buddhist society, for example, giving praise and expressing gratitude is known as Bodhicitta and is practiced strongly today.

Take some time today to apply the Law of Increase. Send a wave of praise to anyone you are about to interact with, verbally express gratitude and appreciation and, as a result, see how your level of wellbeing improves.

Although it is officially called the Law of Receiving, this Law should be called the Law of Giving and Receiving. This is because both are so strongly connected. Bob Proctor illustrates this in a powerful story.

As a child, Bob’s family was poor. One day, during the cold winter, Bob told his mum about one of his friends whose family was even poorer. They did not have enough money for coal for the fire.

Bob’s mother gave him a $20 bill, and asked him to get change of two $10 bills and give his friend’s family $10.  At this time, $10 was a substantial amount of money and the generosity and kindness that Bob’s mother showed, stuck with him throughout his life.

When Bob started out in business, he instructed his staff to give 10% of the company’s earnings to charity. As Bob’s schedule changed, he started to have less involvement with the day to day management of his company. The company’s financial position changed and when Bob asked his staff if they were tithing like he asked them to, he was told that they were not.

Bob immediately shifted his emphasis to the daily management of his business. He ensured that the company was tithing like he requested and, as a result, the company’s fortunes changed.

Bob understands that in order to receive, you must first give. When you give, you begin to live from an abundance mentality and your mind is better suited to receiving.

Many of the world’s wealthiest people are prolific givers. John D. Rockefeller gave away over half a billion dollars during his lifetime and Bill Gates is another who has created a foundation that uses billions of dollars for charitable causes.

There is a powerful line in this lesson which says that if you want to receive the best, give the best. Make a commitment to give your best today and see how the Law of Receiving works for you.

When we are young, we are conditioned to believe that change is slow and gradual. This is in total conflict to the Law of Attraction because the Law of Attraction works like this: If you change channels on your television, your reality is instantly changed. You could go from watching an unsettling thriller to a comedy, instantaneously. Likewise, by changing your thoughts, you can change your life just as quickly, as you start to utilize the Law of Attraction in a different way.

A very good example of this is Nelson Mandela. When he was sentenced to jail for trying to end Apartheid in South Africa, he gave up on his dream of a racially free South Africa. One day, however, he saw a stream of light that hit the ground in a distant field. This gave Mandela hope and he started to believe in ending Apartheid. He began to write to foreign newspapers and draw attention to the struggle he was facing and the injustice of Apartheid and this, ultimately, began the change in South Africa that we now see today.

There are 3 key stages to implementing the Law of Attraction:

1) Interest: Dr. Michael Beckwith tells a story that perfectly illustrates how this works. When he was a young man, he started to work in a new church. Each day, as he drove to work, he noticed a homeless man who sat on the corner of the road. As the days went on and he continued to notice this, Dr. Beckwith started to wonder how this man became homeless. Within a short time, he received a letter from the IRS demanding a large amount of money that  would ultimately lead Dr. Beckwith to this situation. Dr. Beckwith immediately switched his interest away from this. Whenever he saw that man, instead of wondering how he got into such a position, he would simply bless him and be grateful. Within a few weeks, the IRS sent him another letter saying that it had made a mistake. Begin to switch your interest today and your situation will soon follow.

2) Attention: This expands on interest. Whereas interest is short-term, attention is the longer term application of interest that allows these changes to appear into your life.

3) Expectation: This is interest in action. By expecting, using the Law of Supply, you realise that there is an abundance and that from this abundance, your needs will be fulfilled.

Begin to use the Law of Attraction in your life today by using these 3 key stages that are outlined in the 11 Forgotten Laws.

Most people have made an agreement with lack, meaning that they always believe they do not have enough money, time, capability or influence to go after their goals. In order to succeed, we must change this to an agreement with abundance.

The world that we live in is abundant. If you ask a farmer, they will tell you that after their harvest, there is still crop left over. If you ask a miner, they will tell you that there is still plenty to mine. If you ask a scientist, they will tell you that there is enough food in this world to feed everyone. It is only our agreement with lack that is stopping us from doing this.

In order to understand and live the law of supply, a paradigm shift is required. We need to understand that there is no problem without a solution and no demand that is not supplied.

The greatest obstacle to effectively utilizing the law of supply is worry and stress. By worrying, we deplete our energy and, as a result, receive less.

Bob Proctor provides a very powerful visual image. He says that by not utilizing the law of supply, it is as if you are only receiving through a keyhole. By using the law of supply, you open the door, the windows and more and, as a result, allow much more good to come into your life.

Earl Nightingale once said that 2% of people think, 3% of people think that they think and 95% of people would rather die than think!

The truth is that most people do not think. They have a busy mind that is processing the world, but this busy mind is not thinking, it is merely reacting.

Fortunately, thinking is a skill that can be developed, just like reading and writing.

One person who mastered thinking was Thomas Edison. Whenever Edison was stuck with a problem, he would sit quietly and go to where he called ‘The Land of Solution’. Edison would sit in his rocking chair and just be quiet and listen to the solutions that his mind would give him.

Edison understood that the true fruit of thinking is growth. We think in questions and when we think better, we ask better questions and, ultimately, we find better answers. These better solutions  lead to our growth.

Take some time to practice the Law of Thinking today. If there is a problem that you have, think of a solution. Simply ask your mind a powerful question and sit quietly for a few minutes so that it has time to give you an answer.

Wilma perfectly demonstrated the power of affirmation in her life. During her childhood, Wilma suffered from numerous diseases, the most significant being infantile paralysis. As a result of this, she had to wear a brace on her left leg up until the age of twelve.

Wilma says that her doctor told her that she would never walk and her mother told her that she would. She says that she affirmed with her mother.

The fact that Wilma managed to walk, then run and, ultimately, become the fastest woman in the world, was due to the power of affirmation. Wilma kept her mother’s mantra at the forefront of her mind. She positively affirmed that she would walk – over and over again. As a result, she was able to walk, despite what the medical professionals had told her.

Although our goals may not be the same as Wilma’s goal, we still face the same challenge. We are constantly surrounded by people who tell us we cannot achieve our goals or live the lifestyle that we desire. Similarly, there is always a small voice that tells us to strive for what we want and affirms that we can achieve it.

The difference between success and failure is which affirmation you listen to, believe and, ultimately, repeat over and over again. Most people choose the affirmation that tells them that life is difficult, success is difficult and, as a result, they do not live the life that they deserve.

Successful people, however, consciously hold on to a positive affirmation. They make that voice the loudest in their head. Even if they do not believe that affirmation at first, they repeat it so many times that they start to believe it. As a result, this thought attracts the people and circumstance into their life that can turn their goals into reality.

Take some time to examine the affirmations that you constantly repeat to yourself. Do they help or hinder you? If they do not help you, write down an affirmation that will. Write it down and put it in several places. This could be by your bed, in your car, on your desk or on your bathroom mirror. See this affirmation in many places so that you are reminded of it. You can also put it on your computer so that it subconsciously flashes thousands of times a day with a program like MindZoom, so that you are constantly having this new affirmation programmed into you. Start the new week with a new affirmation. This is, for many, the first step towards the life that they want to live.

“Infinite patience produces immediate results”.

The true meaning of this statement is grasped when you understand the result that patience gives you. Patience gives you calmness, peace and, most importantly, belief.

Look back over the past month. How many problems have been caused by you running out of patience? How much frustration, stress, unhappiness and irritation have you experienced as a result of this. How many opportunities have you not fully realised because you loss patience.

In an age where speed is king, patience is a dying art. As a result, fewer people are experiencing inner calm and stress levels and the diseases that manifest from them, are high.

As we enter the weekend, be patient. Remember that patience does not mean that you are giving up on something or are not committed to achieving the desired result, but is a state of mind that allows you to see things clearly, peacefully and in a way that is full of belief and expectation.
