The ability to create your reality is an expression of Divinity. That is why it always works. It is impossible for it not to work. It is a fundamental principle of the universe. It is the nature of things.

NOTE: Saturday is Prose & Poetry Day here on the blog, a time to take a moment once a week to relax the mind, open the heart, and access the soul through the gift of prose from one of the many books of The New Spirituality, and through the poetry of m. Claire, author of the forthcoming volume, Openings
This week’s prose…the last in a series of excerpts from Happier Than God.

I have said that “attraction” is a tool that works most effectively when it is used for the purpose for which it was intended. That is, it most often produces the results that are desired when it is used as it was designed to be used. But it is always producing some result because it is always being used—whether those using it know that or not.
This is the great gift of God: Continuous Power, Continuously On.
We are talking here about a systematic process of cause-and-effect that never shuts down.
God is that process. God is that system. This is what God means when God says to us, “I am with you always, even unto the end of time.”
That is something that is not generally understood, and that is rarely explained, about God. It is almost never explained in relation to the topic of Personal Creation.
We need to now contextualize this business of “attraction.”
The Energy of Attraction is part of a larger system of cause-and-effect in the Universe.
Talking about “attraction” as if it were a law unto itself is a little like talking about the gravity without discussing the physics explaining what gravity does, and why. Okay, so a thing drops. So what…?
Let us look, then, and look deeply, at the great principles of life.
Life expresses itself through:
1. The Energy of Attraction, which gives you power.
2. The Law of Opposites, which gives you opportunity.
3. The Gift of Wisdom, which gives you discernment.
4. The Joy of Wonder, which gives you imagination.
and,
5. The Presence of Cycles, which gives you eternity.
This larger system regulates the Process of Personal Creation. You might even call this system, and this process, “God.”
This is a new thought to many people. Invite yourself to explore this idea, just for now. Could “God” really be, after all is said and done, a process? And could that process by the experience called Life? Is the Process of Personal Creation simply the playing out of life as it naturally expresses?
Life, I have come to understand, is God. It is God being God, and becoming what God is next going to Be. This is a complex and extraordinary system that includes a Process that produces an Expression called life.
This system is a circle. Imagine this circle in your mind. On this circle, life’s process produces life’s expression, life’s expression creates life’s experience, and life’s experience creates life’s process. One thing leads to another, which leads to another, which leads to another, in a never-ending cycle. It is all One.
Life as it is created is the process, life as it appears is the expression, and life as it affects us is the experience. How it affects us is determined by us—and this is not something that is understood by most people.
The eternal cycle of process/expression/experience is Divinity Itself. It is God, godding.
This is the manifestation of the Presence of Cycles. All things respond to this presence. All things exist in cycles. All things have their being within the system—and there is nothing outside of that system.
Attraction is part of this system, as are the other great Principles of Life. Conscious use of the Principles that are the foundation of the Process of Personal Creation produces an Expression of life that leads to the Experience of Divinity.
Are you tracking me here? Stay close to me. Keep tracking. Re-read a few words if you wish to. Keep tracking.
Now…just as physics explains and controls the physical aspects and elements of our lives, so, too, does metaphysics explain and control the larger-than-physical aspects and elements of our lives.
Attraction is part of those metaphysics. It is an energy magnet. It pulls to itself everything like itself. It obeys, absolutely, the principle: Like Attracts Like.
This energy magnet, this Power from God, is being used by us in the Process of Personal Creation—and it is being used all the time, whether we are aware of it or not, whether we acknowledge it or not.
So now, when discussing our own power to produce our own reality, we never again have to ask, “Where is God in all of this?”
Now we know.
(This is the final installment in a series of excerpts from Happier Than God, scheduled to be released next week. The text may be ordered on Feb. 27th from Amazon.com.)

This week’s gift of poetry
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
We truly Are
One Nation, Of God,
Indivisible,
because We Cannot Divide The One Heart
no matter what We may say
or do
to One another.
But let Me apologize to every God
for what We’ve done
in That name.
Let Me apologize to every People
for what We’ve each Believed,
as We took a Life.
Let Me apologize for every One
Who has forgotten
Oneness.
For Conquests.
For Slavery.
For War.
For Conversions,
and Missions.
For Rape
of Animals, Peoples, Planets.
Let Me apologize
for The Innocent
who
don’t even know
Their Guilt.
