When you make a cake, you know that whatever you put into your mixing bowl will appear in the cake itself, and, on the other hand, that unless a particular substance does go into the mixing bowl, it cannot appear in the finished article.
The thoughts and beliefs that fill our minds ultimately appear in the cake of experience, and to realize this is to save oneself a lot of trouble. No one puts kerosene in the mixing bowl because no one wants it in the cake, for everyone knows that, if it does enter the bowl, in the cake it will be.
…They that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same (Job 4:8).
The truth of this is summed up in the statement “as within, so without”. Each thought and emotion we allow in ourselves manifest themselves in our lives. When we feel fear, doubt, anger or hurt, if we replace those thoughts and feeling with thoughts of God, they will subside. If we continue to do so, they will stop. When experiencing any negative thought or feeling always think, “God is with us, God is guiding us and God is filling us with and surrounding us with his peace, joy and love”. The more we practice this, the better it works. When perfected, it will relieve us of all habits that allow negativity within and its expression without.
