When You Can Walk on Water, Take the Boat - Webs

nothing seems to work right, you worry and become fearful
and because of the fear, you short-circuit yourself.”
“In what way or manner, O Great One?” I asked
somewhat sarcastically.
“<strong>You</strong> see, John, the rules are really quite simple. The
Creator made everything and all of us. We, also, are creators.
We are endowed with many of the qualities of the Creator, but
most times, these qualities are so deeply buried that they’re
hardly ever recognized or used.”
“Yes, Lord and Master, please continue. <strong>You</strong>r humble
servant listens.”
He ignored my mocking attitude and continued. “Worry
is a form of directed energy, John. Worry removes your focus
from everything else and directs it in a concentrated manner
on that which you fear. Worry and fear then join to bring into
your existence the very thing which you feared.”
“So, how do I stop worrying? Tell me that!”
“<strong>You</strong> stop worrying when you understand the universal
laws that make things work. One of those laws says that
whatever you see in your mind—good or bad—if you believe
it, it will come to pass. Creation starts in your mind with your
thoughts and imagination. Cause-and-effect world, John. Use
insight and you’ll see right. What you sow, you shall reap. As
you think and believe, so it becomes.”
“Good sayings, Gideon. I know most of those things
but how do I use that knowledge in a practical way? How do I
use it to improve my present situation?”
“By centering yourself and looking within you. This is
an inside job, you see. The answers are all within you. Not
outside, not in someone else and not even in the one you call
God.”
