You cannot claim too much for yourself provided you claim the same thing for all other human beings. In fact, it is our duty to claim all good things and to continue claiming them until they demonstrate in our outer experience. Of course, this law works both ways and therefore you must be very careful not to claim the negative things that you do not want.
On the western ranches the owner of a steer brands it with his name, “Bar A Ranch” or some such cipher. Then if it should wander into strange territory, it will always be returned to him. On the other hand, when an animal without his brand wanders into his corral, he says, “Than is not my steer,” and out it goes.
Many a foolish person puts his mental brand on a steer that he does not want in the least, and is surprised when the animal stays obstinately at home. People say my rheumatism, my forgetfulness, may poverty, et cetera, branding the steers they do not want instead of turning them out of the corral.
When you really want something, brand it deeply with your own name and it will be yours.
… but every one … shall keep himself to his own inheritance (Numbers 36:9).
Ever since mankind chose for itself in Eden to partake in the fruit of knowledge of good and evil, we have often made the negative choice. The power to chose is awesome and powerful. It resides, less in the physical but more in the spiritual and mental realm. So we must chose out thoughts and feelings carefully. When we indulge negative thoughts and adopt and downcast spirit, we allow those things in our lives and make them our own. Then they invariably manifest themselves in our lives.
So today, let each of us chose and claim the light God wants for us, and let us also release and reject the darkness which we have indulged and nurtured around and within us. The choice is ours.
Choosing light,
