In order to understand how Personal Creation increases rather than decreases God\u2019s role in our lives, we must know everything there is to know about the Mechanism of Manifestation. We must have that mechanism thoroughly explained to us, as well as the principles of life which support it.

\nNOTE: 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<\/em>
\nThis week’s prose…the seventh in a series of excerpts from Happier Than God<\/em>.

\nThe Process of Personal Creation is actually three phenomena interacting as One. The first phenomenon has to do with God, the second has to do with you, and the third has to do with you and God together.
\nAnother way of describing this would be that Part One of the \u201cmystery formula of life\u201d is the I Am<\/em>, Part Two is the You Are<\/em>, and Part Three is the How To<\/em>.
\nThe fact that all three of these aspects are not deeply understood by most people is why the principle of \u201cattraction\u201d has been called a \u201csecret.\u201d
\nSome people have said they\u2019ve tried using this principle and have thought it to be ineffective, disappointing and disheartening. I believe that is because these people are working with only part of the data.
\nOthers want nothing to do with attraction or Personal Creation no matter how much data they have, feeling that it may actually be \u201cevil\u201d\u2014the work of a devil who seeks to lure us away from our reliance on God by seducing our egos with thoughts of our own power.
\nAnd religious traditionalists are not the only ones who might shy away from this process. The list includes many of those who are simply seeking to live God-centered lives and experience a personal relationship with the Divine (whether inside or outside a traditional religion). Not all of these people may be comfortable with the claim that they, themselves, are solely in charge of creating their own reality.
\nThen there are also non-religious rationalists who believe that what cannot be explained by evidence, reason, and logic is irrational and can only lead to self-delusion.
\nThe fact is that nothing within Personal Creation is evil or irrational. But, as I have said, much about that process has not been sufficiently explained.
\nUntil now.
\n(The explanation is presented in great detail in Happier Than God <\/em>, which may be ordered from Amazon.com on February 27th. Look for another excerpt here next week.)

\nA rivulet, or a river;
\nsprinkling, or spate –
\nit doesn\u2019t matter.
\nWhatever it is You want next.
\nWhatever it is I see
\nthat You need.
\nThe willingness to surrender
\nis so new a creature, that
\nI wouldn\u2019t even know Its colors.
\nAnd should It leap,
\nfrom the forest of my pride
\nand gut me –
\nI wouldn\u2019t
\nfeel
\na
\nthing.
