The Hidden Laws of Prosperity

“As long as you obey the speed limit, you can shoplift without consequence.”

Preposterous?

Of course, but many of us live our lives following just as preposterous a paradigm when it comes to our money.
We think, “If I’m good enough, I will be blessed with all the money I need.”
It sounds great, but it doesn’t follow logically. There are laws governing righteousness, with their attendant consequences and blessings, and there are different, separate laws governing prosperity. If we want to prosper, we need to learn and follow those laws.

I’ve been reading a book by Leslie Householder, The Hidden Laws of Prosperity. She shares the laws she has discovered that have helped her to prosper through some difficult times.

What is prosperity? One dictionary defines it as “successful, flourishing, or thriving condition, especially in financial respect; good fortune.”
That sounds like a worthy goal. Women, especially women alone, need to be successful in their finances.
So just what are those laws?

In Leslie’s terms, they are as follows:
The Law of Perpetual Transmutation – Transmutation is the state of changing from one form to another, moving toward a physical form or moving out of it. Example: vapor turns to rain, then to ice. Perhaps what you desire has not manifested itself in the physical world yet, (just as vapor is not yet rain) but the circumstances required to make that situation a reality are beginning to gather, as a cloud gathers in the sky.
In our lives, circumstances and things are perpetually moving toward manifesting or moving away from it, according to our thoughts.
Example – non-existent to idea to spiritual to physical
An idea held in the mind for a long enough time begins to move from invisible to visible. Hold the idea in your mind until you see fruition!
The Bible tells us to “ask in faith, nothing wavering…” – we must not waver in our righteous desires!  Continue to think about and visualize what you desire.

The Law of Relativity – Our situation is not fundamentally good or bad until we compare it with something else. If we are in a bad spot, we can compare our situation to something much worse, and then we will be able to find something in our situation to be grateful for.  The old adage, “Could be worse!” is true!
.
The Law of Vibration – Science tells us that everything on earth is in a state of vibration, and that similar vibrations are attracted to one another. Your thoughts control your personal vibration. Change your thoughts, get emotional about them and you will change what is attracted to you. The more we control our thoughts and bring ourselves into the same vibrations as that which we desire, the more our circumstances will actually reflect the worthy desires of our hearts.

The Law of Polarity – Everything has its opposite. A bad situation also holds good. Look for the good, and more good will come into your life. James E. Faust said, “There is a divine purpose in the adversities we encounter every day. They prepare, they purge, they purify, and thus they bless.”
Napoleon Hill said, ‘Every adversity, every failure, and every heartache carries with it the seed of an equivalent or greater benefit.”
As we face our challenges, we must send our fearful thoughts away, find the good in any situation, and know that our desired results always follow a trial of our faith.

The Law of Rhythm – Nature’s movements are cyclical. There is repetition in everything. We see it in the economy and in our daily lives. When you feel down, be assured that an upswing is coming.  This does not mean, however, if you are experiencing a good situation that you have to look forward to a worse time. You will more likely come to a place where you are no longer content to stay where you are, and you will be propelled  – most likely through a challenge – to greater heights.

The Law of Cause and Effect – Action and reaction are equal, in opposite directions. Whatever we send out and give to the world will, by natural law, return to us. We are wise to focus on what we can give. As we seek prosperity for the purpose of doing good, for helping others, for providing the necessities for our families, for paying all of our obligations in a timely and honest manner we will see abundance begin to flow into our lives.

The Law of Gender and Gestation – For life to perpetuate, seeds must be planted, and then they must be nurtured. We cannot rely on the media and the culture surrounding us to plant prosperity idea seeds in our mind. We must choose carefully that which we allow into the garden of our minds. We need to plant our own positive, creative idea seeds, and then be patient.

Gestation refers to the time we must wait to see the fruition of our idea seeds. Don’t uproot the seeds with doubt! The greater our faith and intensity in seeking that which we desire, the sooner we will find it!

How do we increase our intensity?
Pray more fervently
Fast –replace eating with meditation and pondering
Focus our efforts. Work with a purpose and a clear goal.

How do we increase our faith?
Study the scriptures, and
Obey the principles.

The Vacuum Law of Prosperity – Nature abhors a vacuum! Make room for the thing you desire by giving away that which you do not like in your life. When we remove the old negative, doubting thoughts, and fill the vacuum they leave by thinking new, faithful, creative thoughts, we open the door for prosperity! Create a vision to fill that vacuum.

Bob Proctor tells the story of going to visit his aunt. She kept apologizing for her curtains, saying she hated them but couldn’t afford to replace them.

Bob responded: “You don’t hate them! You love them! Subconsciously you are in complete harmony with them. If you hated them, they would be gone. You don’t need new curtains- you don’t have a place to put them if you had them!”

He convinced her to take them down, clean them up, and give them away. The next time he visited her, new curtains hung in her home. She had found a way to purchase new ones once she released the old ones.

So, can we rightly say, “As long as you obey the speed limit, you can shoplift without consequence”? Or, “As long as I’m good enough, I will prosper”?

No.
But we can say, “As I come to know and obey the laws governing prosperity, I will prosper.”

My great hope is that we each may learn these laws, and prosper-in every way – from this day forward.
