Driving home last night we had an extra passenger with us so upsetting the usual seating arrangement.
Jesse was sitting beside his younger sister, Reanne, (not usually a good idea).
Before long Reanne screeched and hit her brother.
Jesse whined, "Mom, Reanne hit me!" I ask, "What is going on?" And then comes the standard reply, "Nothing, I was just sitting here.
" My wonderful bright intelligent son wants me to believe that the Law of Cause and Effect does not exist.
This universal law states that every cause has an effect and every effect has a cause.
Nothing happens by chance.
My mother instinct tells me, there was a cause (a poke or words) that brought about the effect (screeching by his little sister).
I see myself in this same cycle.
I screech, "I don't have enough money.
Why is life so cruel and unfair?" Truth be told, it isn't.
There are perfectly predictable laws that govern our universe and as we follow them we can begin to understand and even choose the course of our lives.
The cause of 'unfairness' is always incorrect thinking.
When you examine the effects or the results you are getting in your life you can discover the cause.
When you know the cause you can make changes that will give you the effects you desire.
Sometimes this can be obvious.
The lawn in front of the house is short and well kept.
This is caused by the fact that Jesse mowed and trimmed it yesterday.
The broken umbrella on the patio is caused by the fact that it was left open last night during the wind storm.
Often the cause is not as easy to identify.
If the effect is, I have less money than I need this month, what is the cause? I put my hand on my heart and ask my heart.
My heart replies, "You've restricted yourself with fretting and worry, pinching off the flow.
" My heart says, "You believe you must work really hard to get money, and you just haven't.
" My heart answers, "Money flows to where it will be well cared for and you don't.
" Find the false belief and the incorrect thought patterns which gave you your results.
You can change those thoughts automatically changing your effect.
For many years I believed the thought, "I don't deserve money.
" When I believed that thought I felt heavy and constricted in my body.
I felt depressed and deflated, with out will or drive to even try to obtain money.
When I let that thought go and choose to believe the opposite, "I deserve money" I feel free, happy, light and hopeful.
I can find evidence to support this new belief in the scripture: "For what man among you having twelve sons, and is no respecter of them, and they serve him obediently, and he saith unto the one: Be thou clothed in robes and sit thou here; and to the other: Be thou clothed in rags and sit thou there-and looketh upon his sons and saith I am ajust?" -D&C 38:26 I believe that God did not send me here to be with out.
When I was married my husband and I seemed to constantly fight about money.
We fought over how there never seemed to be enough and we never seemed to be able to agree where it should be spent.
Our finances were in a shambles and we always had piles of unpaid bills.
When I left my husband I began to manage the kids and the household with a greatly reduced income.
All of a sudden there was enough money.
No bills went unpaid and I was able to obtain whatever was needed for our family.
The cause, the negative fighting energy, seemed to have the effect of driving the money away.
Where as the cause, a peaceful approach to money, (even just the absence of conflict) and the attitude of gratitude for it had the effect of encouraging the money to simply stay and serve our family.
When we look at the effects or outcomes we are having in our lives we can trace the cause back to a thought.
With a thorough examination that thought can be changed and replaced.
When we replace the thought our outcomes are changed.
