“I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them. If you have faith even as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” -Jesus of Nazareth (Mark 11:23/Matthew 17:20)
What is this power of faith and why do entrepreneurs need it? The dictionary describes it as complete trust and confidence; trust so strong you could walk on it blindfolded and know it will support every step you take. Faith is belief in the unseen, and yet it is seen with an extrasensor like a third eye. This eye can see beyond the shiftings of the universe into a realization of what it knows will come to pass, which might seem like trouble, destruction and chaos to those unable to see on this level and frequency. This knowing allows one to see a path through the smoke and pandemonium to the glory on the other side and travel it thereby safely. Everyone has this extrasensory third eye and yet most people’s life experiences have conditioned it into blindness, and it is blinded by doubt and fear which are the products of ignorance. The good news is that this blindness is not incurable. It can be reversed.
Be not dismayed about sensing something you can not see, hear, touch, smell or taste. Can you see radio waves or hear them without a proper device? Are they not real? There are waves and colors of light our eyes cannot perceive. There are frequencies of sound our ears cannot pick up, but a dog can hear a dog whistle. There’s a whole world of reality surrounding us at this moment our five senses cannot experience. The space/time matrix of reality is like an onion, there are layers enveloping each one, scientists call the dimensions. We exist and act in all the dimensions simultaneously. That which we can perceive with our five senses are so minimal that it is like vision so poor it could be diagnosed as legally blind or partial blindness. Think of it this way, when you were in your mother's womb, the amniotic fluid which enveloped your being in a sack was your world. You knew nothing more than this. Perhaps you could have heard sounds from the outside world, but you wouldn't have been able to understand it so you may not have been paying attention. If you understood anything, you understood the energies in the sounds where you could discern between an angry voice, a happy voice or a calm, loving and soothing voice. It wasn't until you were born into this outside world, that your worldview and perceptions expanded into the big world that awaited you, though it was there all along. Right now, we are in a sack that limits our perception of reality called a body. We will not be able to fully experience more until we leave this body, though we may faintly perceive information coming the higher dimensions which surround us. This is why I call the death, the second birth. Do you still discount the expanse and length of ghostly paranormal experiences around the world as the products of insanity because you can not see what is manipulating objects or write it off as a hoax? Do you not sense the love of others even when separated by distance and contact? Faith sees on this spectrum and quiets fears and pushes out doubt like light pushes out darkness. It’s not necessarily a visual kind of sight. It’s a feeling or empathic kind of perception.

Because of this insight, decisions made in faith happen to always be the game changing decisions. Decisions made in a state of fear and doubt almost always result in disaster and the missing of golden opportunities brought to you by the universe when you first asked in faith. It is scientific proof that fear actually lowers the I.Q. to that of an animalistic survival state. So, who would ever want to make a decision at that point? Your fear and the adrenaline rush it gives you is there only for the purpose of helping you to escape imminent danger and survive. There are cars now being made with alarms that sound if you begin approaching an object at such a fast speed that a crash is imminent if the brakes are not immediately engaged. That’s what fear is for. However, if you had good enough vision and had your eyes on the road, you would hardly ever hear that alarm. If you want to thrive, you goal cannot be survival, just as if you want to complete a successful and safe road trip your #1 goal should not be focused on not crashing into things the whole way. If that is your concern, you should not be driving. You should spend more time in Driver’s Ed or do something about your bad vision. Olympic Swimmers have no concern about keeping their heads above water. They want to win. Learn to swim and you can be the same way. Long term states of fear are corrosive to your health, mentally and physically. Those who misuse fear are also seeing what is not directly before their eyes, yet instead of seeing a way through no way, they see all of the things that could go wrong with no evidence and create for themselves an emotional response to this imagined monster. This is why it is often acronymed, F.E.A.R. (False Evidence Appearing Real). If there is indeed a monster and one calmly took the time to study its nature, often he would find out that the beast is simply a little field mouse more scared of him than he is of it, and that it had only exaggerated its size on the wall with the use of shadows. This is what scientific discovery has done for the superstitions and paranoias of the ignorant. It put things in perspective and expands our vision and understanding.
Faith, on the contrary is on the level of genius, communion with Universal Intelligence. To hear on this wavelength, you have got to become calm.
“Be still and know that I am GOD, above nations, above everything.” -Psalm 48:50
When faith advises your actions you will not hear a loud, thundering voice like James Earl Jones in the movies, but instead a still, small voice of an ethereal quality that you only hear psychically and empathically. The language is not even that which we use with our mouths. It can be translated into audible language, but that is not how it’s heard and the translation is always crude, for there is much that cannot be put into words. Music is actually a better interpretation for how it speaks to our emotions. However, faith when acted upon translates it best. This is why it is always so difficult to share a direct communication from Universal Intelligence with others who have not received that personal direction. It was not for them. It is up to you to manifest it so that they can see and believe. Others must be shown, they can rarely be told. When GOD spoke to Moses, he was forewarned that people would not listen to him and would need to see signs and wonders connected with his prophecies before they would take heed. If you don’t act in faith, you will never be able to show others the signs to confirm it. “Faith without works is dead.” It speaks to that part of you where you would normally feel fear, but now is replaced with an unwavering confidence. It is peaceful and resolute. Anything could happen and you are worried about nothing. This is what you want.
I am not writing on this subject to indoctrinate anyone into one form of theology or another. What I am saying should fit any faith and speak to the logic of anyone without any spiritual theology who is open-minded enough to accept that there is much more unknown to them than what is known. When I reference GOD, I use it as a placeholder, a reference to these ethereal and absolute laws of the universe no one can defy. One of the most supreme of them is The Law of Attraction. The Law of Gravity comes under this law and works because of The Law of Attraction. No nation can break these laws, they can only break themselves against the laws. Second, these laws are not dead laws that are written down in a book. They are alive as much as we are and aware of everything that is happening. Nothing can come out of something having qualities that are not present in the thing from which it came. Also, nothing can have qualities of a greater degree than the thing it came from. Go pour yourself a glass of lemonade. That glass of lemonade has lemon juice because lemon juice was in the jug. That glass can not have more lemon juice in it than in the jug from which it was poured. If we have an intellect that is aware of ourselves and our surroundings, can think, create and remember and we were constructed directly from the resources of the earth, just as the earth was produced from the universe, trust that this same intellectual faculty or mind is in the universe of an unimaginable greater degree than ours. So indeed, the universe is intelligent. It is unintelligent to think otherwise. It is watching, thinking and creating. The laws are watching, thinking and creating within its own framework. Anything alive, so far as I am aware, is conscious to varying degrees, dogs, cats, birds, fish, worms and even trees.
THE LAW OF UNITY
So there are immutable laws governing the universe which are alive, aware and thinking. To me, that is GOD. I don’t need to go so far as to give it a name and assign it human and gender characteristics. That is as far as I believe in GOD, and I do believe with reverence and great respect. GOD does not have a location, for it stands beyond space and time and yet is ever present all around us and in everything, in me, in you and in everyone. The disconnect is that most people are not aware of this connection, but there is a unity. There is a law of the conservation of energy and matter which states that, “Energy and matter can not be created or destroyed. It can only change form.” Meaning the particles of your body down to its smallest units are eternal, though in its present form is only as old as you know your age to be. It has always been here in different forms. The collective of these parts come from one source. At some point, you and I have a common ancestor. While alive, we depend upon the same resources of food, water and air. When we die, our bodies will disintegrate back to the energy and matter bank of the universe to be made into future forms. Therefore, there is a unity to GOD of which we are a part. We are connected to GOD and with each other. “I am you. You are me, and we are GOD.” The Great Law of Love is only being aware of and feeling this connection. When I feel myself in you, I love you. When you see and feel a part of yourself in me, you love me, and it dramatically changes how we interact with one another. What hurts you would hurt me and vice-versa. When you are well, I am made well. To believe otherwise is ignorance.
You can talk all the day long about how much faith you have, though it is not real until you are ready to walk on it and securely. Your actions tell much more about what you believe than you can ever preach about. It affects how you walk and the resident and quiet power behind your voice when you talk. Therefore, what I am doing here is laying out planks for you begin to walk on if you don’t yet have faith, and I dare you to catch me where I lie:

- There are immutable laws governing the universe.
- These laws are one and the same with the universe itself, and is alive and aware to a greater degree than we are.
- GOD, as a reference for this intelligent essence and power source that stands behind space and time and infuses it with life is unified with all there is including all of us.
- Respecting the Law of Love is only being able to see and feel this unification.
“Be still and know that I am GOD, above nations, above everything.” -Psalm 48:50 it should have an entirely new and relevant ring to it.
After achieving an awareness of GOD without falling into the obscuring rabbit hole maze of theology and religiosity, which is only man’s poor attempts at explaining that which can only be experienced and can not be adequately put into words or metaphors, the next step is beginning to trust GOD. I am telling you that you can indeed trust GOD more than anything else in your experience with the world. Here, I will lay some more planks for you to walk on to see that this is true.
THE LAW OF LOVE
Back to the Law of Love, the dynamic healing, power and life that is unleashed when the Law of Unity is acknowledged, felt and respected, GOD being aware of all things to a greater capacity than any of us will ever be able to attain is deeply aware of your connection to it. Look at your pinky finger. Do you see that is connected to you? Can you wiggle it and feel that it is connected to your body? Maybe its sister fingers can not feel their connection to it, but can you? Do you love your pinky finger? If not, can I cut it off? You actually could live without it, if you had to. You would probably fight me if I tried to come get your pinky finger. GOD feels at least as much love and concern for you. Look up at the stars or the clouds, hear the roar of the ocean, admire the majesty of the mountains. It all knows you are here and loves you at least as much as you love your pinky finger. Not only love by connection, we are the products of its creative imagination, it’s work of art. Have you ever produced a work of art expressing something deep about who you are? Don’t you love it? If you don’t, then why did you create it in the first place? Your work of art is probably your baby and you are perhaps very protective and sensitive about your work. GOD feels the same love for you. Not only are you designed by its creative imagination with intention, you were produced from its nature. Hopefully you know by experience the love of a parent for their child, either from the love of your own parents or the love you have for your children. Again, a love like that could not exist if it is not in greater capacity in the source from which it came. “And there’s more where that came from.” If you know this experience, you have only had a taste of the love GOD has for you. I believe I’ve heard this love best described by a mother watching her toddler son play with a ball in her backyard, “It’s like the first time I can feel my heart outside of myself.” There are true stories of mothers instinctively summoning the strength to lift cars to unpin their trapped children, sacrificing their lives to protect their babies, and their intense and fierce love and protection seems to universal across the animal kingdom. The love GOD has for you is at least as strong and likely stronger to an unimaginable degree so much as we can know. Consciously feel this love the next time you get the opportunity to have sunshine pouring on your face. Feel it when you are eating and consider how good it tastes.
THE LAW OF ABUNDANCE
“Which of you, if your son asks for bread will give him a stone? Or if he asks for fish will give him a snake? If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him?” -Jesus of Nazareth (Matthew 7:9-11)
Christian parents know the joy in their hearts they receive when they bestow gifts upon their children on Christmas morning, and the gifts are usually limited by their budget, not their hearts. They would grant every request on that list to Santa Claus if they could afford it. Even if that were possible, there would still be some reservations. If Dad is smart and responsible, little Jill is not getting the baby elephant she asked for if he knows good and well that she is not going to enjoy cleaning up the poop after a year, making sure it has enough water, food and safe space to roam. Little Jill in her juvenile mind only sees a baby elephant as a toy after viewing “Dumbo”, but Dad knows better to say no. Jill will thank Dad when she’s 16 and would rather spend more time hanging out with friends and dating when she isn’t studying rather than cleaning up behind a giant, smelly animal. She can always go look at elephants at the zoo when she’s ready and perhaps even ride one. When GOD denies or delays our requests, it is never because of impossibility or a lack of favor we have with GOD. There is nothing that GOD can not afford. This world, and all the riches and resources therein would shrivel up and die if we did not daily bask under the warm glow of the sun and receive it all freely. Look up at the sun and consider how rich GOD is and you are its progeny. I say this to nail my point that the universe deeply wants to grant you your heart’s desires and can. It will not give you what you are not prepared to handle and what would not benefit your growth, development and actualization, such as reaching for items only for the sake of impressing others, fitting in when you're not meant to, or trying to buy the respect to which you are already due. It will prepare you first before your wishes are granted, if you do not resist the preparation. When GOD decides you are ready to mature beyond the desires of the ego, your egoic demands, which are not authentic desires that yield lasting satisfaction, will be denied and your tastes will be elevated to a higher level. When Mom decides her babe is ready for the menu of solid foods, her babe is not getting anymore Gerber no matter how much they cry for it, but better food awaits. GOD's response to our prayers are always, Yes, Not now, or I've got something better. Therefore, when I pray now, I only ask once in complete faith and then surrender it to the wise judgement and discernment of GOD to determine what the appropriate answer should be. I make myself ready to be prepared if need be, or I am open to a better idea GOD has in mind and I trust GOD's taste.
Also, it will not violate its laws in order to grant your wishes, and it doesn’t have to. Just as any ethical and just parent would not go rob Toys-R-Us and steal toys in order to give to their children even if they could get away with it, GOD will not take from one child in order to give to you, violating its LAW OF JUSTICE. Usually that which you want is already in the hands of someone else, and in order to get it, you must trade with them something of equal or greater value to them, so at the end of the transaction both parties are satisfied and getting what they want. Nothing in form is meant to be held on to forever, clothes, cars, homes, toys, money or even our bodies. After it fulfills a need of any sort, it is meant to be passed on to others who would like to use it for a time and can trade with you something else you would like to have to fulfill another need. This trading fulfills the Law of Justice, and understanding this is where material riches are to be found. Should you take what you have not earned, you will rack up debt and GOD has various means of collecting on that debt which will make you regret it and learn that it wasn’t worth it. You will end up paying more for it than it was actually worth. This has nothing to do with punishment and everything to do with the balancing act in the Law of Justice.
However, GOD still loves you just the same and feels remorse when your decisions run contrary to its laws causing you to suffer. Again, you can not break the laws. You can only break yourself against the laws. If you but only ask GOD and trust in faith, GOD will provide you the value you will need to exchange for that which you want and the chances are you have that value already within you. You just have need of becoming conscious of it and organizing it for trade just like anyone would get their house together before placing it on the market for sale. This process is called merchandising. These are your talents and your passions, your skills and your ability and energy to work, your property and your services. GOD has sent no one into this world empty handed. Under the Law of Justice, the inherent value within you and the price of that which you will need to satisfy your soul are equally matched. When you get what you want, in the exchange, you will get it in such a way that many will have more than they have now. This is because, conversely, there are people praying for and desiring the valuable goods you have to offer and are ready to trade with you for it, perhaps with money. A satisfied soul is like a cup that runs over for others to get their cups full. Your life is meant to be enjoyed and it overjoys GOD to assist you in this quest. Therefore, GOD is for you, not against you. If GOD were against you, you would already be dead or never created.
If it seems as though GOD is against you, the question that should then be asked is if you are trying to run against the Laws: The Law of Unity, The Law of Love, The Law of Justice and The Law of Abundance, from which generosity flows. If this has been your experience, it is understandable then why it is that you might not trust GOD. However, when you do not trust GOD, you will hold back on everything you will need to trade for the things that will bring your life joy and satisfaction, just like the son in The Parable of Talents who did not trust the beneficence of his rich father, so he hid his endowment in a safe and did nothing with it so that he could return it in full to his father on the day of accounting. Meanwhile, his brothers when out and invested their allotment and doubled and quadrupled their fortunes. That son who withheld his endowment had his talents (money) taken away from him and was given to his enterprising brothers. If you should decide to pay your dues, and do not trust GOD, you will do so without faith that you will be rewarded for it, and so you will deal with people stingily and with suspicion and people will react in kind in accordance with the Law of Attraction. They will make attempts to cheat and steal from you to confirm your expectations. You won’t be generous and you will live within a self-imposed jail of defensiveness. You may even try to cheat the laws which will only dig yourself a deeper grave and divest you of the powers of GOD. In all these ways, you block your blessings when it is GOD’s will to bless you beyond your wildest dreams because you do not trust. Somehow, if you wish to experience the blessed life, you have got to turn this around.
So let’s add to your planks you can walk on:
- GOD is for you, not against you.
- It is GOD’s will for you to experience your heart’s desires.
- There is nothing too expensive for GOD
- GOD can only grant your wishes in accordance with the laws.
- If you do not trust GOD, you will block your blessings.
- You must ask in perfect faith.
- You must then act in faith, willingly accepting whatever preparation may be necessary.
- You must watch in faith to acknowledge your opportunities when they show up.
- You must then be willing and ready to pay your dues in faith.
