You always bring yourself into accord with that to which you have delegated power.
That is, if you believe in the power of the world and its environment, you are seemingly receiving
directive control from a thousand different sources and this is the source of your confusion. You do
not know whether to obey the seeming demands made here, there, or some other place and this
division in the consciousness breaks down the entire structure of man’s nature.
It is all so simple if one looks at the entire situation with an open-minded and sane approach to it. You
say in your own mind that this person or that condition has power to make you sad. This is delegating
authority to a definite location or form. Obeying the authority which you have thus assigned, you
embody in yourself the mental and emotional state which you recognize as existing in the nature of
that authority. You could not possibly think of embodying joy from a source that you decree has only
the power to make you sad. Then, through your obedience to the authority you embody the sadness
which you have admitted it has power to manifest in you and you say “I am sad.” You become that
which you embody. This is the whole secret power but, to manifest that Mighty power that is ours,
we must obey that source and embody the characteristics which it possesses; then we should not
hesitate to proclaim “I am that,” as the Hindu’s put it, when that becomes the thing we have
embodied. This will all become perfectly clear to anyone who will dwell on the matter for a time.
There is one law governing the Universe for the Universe is One. We need not obey a single law that
is less than the One Law.
There is but One Law and that is the only thing that we need to obey. A human being does not need
to obey even the manifestation of law, which is gravitation. You need not obey even the conscious
manifestation of law; you need obey only the law that controls these manifestations. The moment you
become unconscious of the manifestation of law you are perfectly conscious of the Law that is All, the
All-ness or the Universality of Principle. Every manifestation of law then obeys us. We are in
complete authority, complete dominion over every manifestation of law.
The real mental trick to this is; knowing that everything came from spirit and still is spirit. We give
everything a name then put it in a category then assign a certain law as to how it reacts in this way
we have many laws to adhere to. If we proclaimed everything spirit then only the laws of spirit
applies. This is the power of the Masters.
