If I had to put the teaching of Religious Science into one
sentence, it would be: "It is done unto you as you believe."
This very well-known and often-quoted Bible verse holds the key
to the way our lives work. But because it is so often quoted,
many just say the words without thinking about what these words
really mean.
Let's dissect this verse to reveal the true meaning, the way the
Universe works and how to use it.
IT: This means anything and everything. It is the experience,
the expression, the demonstration, the manifestation.
IS DONE: The experience comes into existence.
UNTO YOU: Two small words, but extremely important to remember.
"Unto you" means that the experience, the demonstration is not
something you make happen directly. You don't have to use your
willpower or your muscle or your human hard work to make things
happen. Experiences are done unto you by the power of the
Universe. The work of creating is actually done by the Law. That
doesn't mean that you are at the whim of the Universe. Quite the
contrary. The Law, being a law, follows a simple rule. It
creates...
AS: The most important word in this verse. "As" means what, how,
the way, the manner, the strength, the intensity. If what you
believe is that people are dishonest, that experience will be
done unto you. If you believe more strongly that you can never
get ahead than you believe with hard work you can, the stronger
belief will manifest. If the way you believe you are with money
is that you have enough for your needs, this will be
demonstrated.
YOU BELIEVE: What you believe is what you have subconsciously
embodied. Your beliefs are your "truths". Your beliefs are the
way you interpret everything. Your beliefs are your feelings
about yourself, people, places and things. Whenever you put a
name on something you are revealing your feelings about it.
Whenever you say, this is the way it is, you are expressing your
beliefs about it.
"Belief creates the manifest world" is what Jesus was trying to
tell us. Everything that we see and experience stems from what
and how we believe. Our experiences start with what we believe
and how we believe what we believe, not the other way around.
"I'll see it when I believe it" should replace "I'll believe it
when I see it". The way we experience our beliefs is that they
are done unto us. The Law of the Universe takes our beliefs,
does the work of creating the manifestion in a perfect
equivalent "as" those beliefs.
So the true meaning of this Bible verse is that it tells us the
way the Universe works. We believe something, and then we
experience that something. So how do we use this knowledge, this
how-to instruction of Life?
We are free to believe whatever we want. Why don't we start
choosing to believe peaceful things, loving things, prosperous
things and harmonious things? We begin by thinking thoughts
along those lines. As we continue to think that way, we begin to
subjectify these thoughts, which means we start believing these
things as "true" for us. And as we subjectify loving thoughts,
prosperous thoughts and harmonious thoughts, we begin to
experience them. And that is how we change our lives for the
better.
It is easy to have strong beliefs in what we have already
experienced. That is how we perpetuate more of the same, and get
or stay in a rut. If our belief in what we WANT could be as
strong as what we've already had, we would be experiencing what
we WANT easily and effortlessly.
We have the formula for a happy, fulfilling, successful life
right in the palm of our Minds! Let's follow the formula and
watch what happens!
