Do Not Let Your Heart’s Desire Become a Heart’s Disease of blaming people or circumstances for your

unhappiness, you look back to see why you

attracted the situation. Someone you disliked

harmed you, but you gave that person power

to hurt you, because you withheld love and

goodwill. Your own poisoned arrows have re-

turned to you. Now call on the law of forgive-

ness and affi rm the statement:
I call on the law
of forgiveness. I am free from mistakes. I am under
grace and not under karmic law.
Forgive the person or persons who have harmed you, sending

love and goodwill, saying, “I forgive them.”

Then like a kaleidoscope, the whole situation

in front of a huge bear, which moved its head

up and down and looked quite ferocious. A

must be wiped out, as well as anxiety, impa-

tience, and fear. We are told to wait patiently on the law. Patience means nonresistance.

Practice nonresistance on the law, and it will

bring your desire to pass.

I heard a man say, “The good Lord takes

his time. He’s the one man you can’t hurry.”
