journal. Eventually, you ll see responses and/or patterns emerge.
Keep your experiences to yourself, especially in the beginning. Otherwise, you
may find yourself having to explain and defend ideas and insights you were
given. Then, the ego has entered and manifesting (the universe-driven process)
stops.

Believe It Now!
In the first chapter, we mentioned that success takes both determination and
belief. This requires a belief that is with absolute certainty that your goal already
has taken place in the universe. It only needs be manifest made real in the
physical world exactly on time. Believing with absolute certainty is a giant
leap of faith that the universe will come through for you.
One of the strongest tools for keeping your proper focus is, of course,
meditation, because it connects you directly to the universe and affirms your faith
in it. An even stronger tool is to actually see the universe in motion seeing
things happen for you without any intervention from you, other than
determination and belief.
Once, Julie and her mother were going to a fairly large mall during the
Christmas season. Of course, the parking lot was packed with shoppers.
Julie began to drive toward the front of the parking lot, by the main doors
of the mall out of habit. Her mother asked her what she was doing, and
Julie told her mother that she wanted to see if there were any empty
spots close to the front doors. Her mother very indignantly told Julie that
she was crazy. Julie s response? Oh ye of little faith! and silently asked
God if He might provide a spot close for her mother to see that things are
possible through belief. Julie was as shocked as her mother, when there
was a newly-vacated spot directly in front of the doors in the first position.
Julie pulled in the space without a word said, while her young children
began giggling in the back seat. After shutting off the car, she turned to
her mother and said, God provides. Then, silently thanked Him. It took
a while for her mother to recover from the shock. Julie has since asked
God for close parking spots many times, knowing that if there isn t one,
60
it s because someone with a greater need got it. More times than not, the
space is there. Oh, and Julie s mother s faith in the universe grew that
day by leaps and bounds.
Did Julie know for sure a space would be there? No, but she did absolutely
believe that her prayer was heard and would be positively answered, if at all
possible within the current circumstances of her life. That is belief from
determination. You first determine, and then follow it with absolute belief.
Notice also that Julie asked for a space close to the doors. She didn t limit the
universe by asking for a specific space. She allowed the universe room to
process her request.
Let s say, instead of someone having just pulled out of the first space,
they had just pulled out of one five spaces down. If Julie had asked
specifically for the first space, then the space five spaces down may have
been given to someone else. She would have been trying to manipulate
the process.
You must not limit the result of your request. Allow the universe to define the best
outcome. The source knows better than we do the best result for us at the
moment in time it manifests into our physical world.
Be the Success You Desire
Another important factor in absolute belief is treating yourself as if and acting as
though your goal is already achieved. Remember, that as soon as you determine
something and place absolute belief in it, it already has been processed by the
universe and exists even if the existence is currently in thought. Don t think
61
about what has been, the past is gone. Treat the situation as if the past had
never happened. Change the way you look at the situation to a positive
perspective. Think, speak and act/react with a sense of purpose. Have gratitude
for the universe, yourself and the situation, and be inspired.
Let s look at some examples:
Example 1: You wish to shed enough weight before an
important function to fit in to a new dress. You have
determined that you will lose the weight and have, in fact,
already lost the weight in thought within the universe. You
believe with absolute certainty that the universe is
processing your request by moving the world s energy to
accommodate you.
Do you continue eating as if it doesn t matter? Do you
continue being a couch potato? That would say that your
goal doesn t matter and would effectively stop the process.
If you look in the mirror and are repulsed or constantly use
the overweight or fat words in your thoughts and spoken
words, wanting to be thin, then you ll retain the 20 pounds,
no matter what you do.
Instead, you outline what needs to be done to get to where
you wish to be. That would include eating and exercising
properly. You compliment yourself on your thin and shapely
figure and how your clothes fit so perfectly each time you
look in the mirror. You love and appreciate yourself.
62
Yes, the proper eating and exercise will help you lose
weight, by the sheer fact that you re doing them. But they
won t ensure you lose enough weight to fit in that new dress
on time, let alone look perfect; and maybe, you only needed
to lose 15 pounds. The universe will take care of the
amount of weight. You take care of treating yourself and
acting as if it s already happened, because it has.
Example 2: Your marriage is in constant conflict. You
spouse starts fighting over the littlest details, any excuse to
yell and scream at you. You determine that your marriage is
going to be harmonious and believe with absolute certainty
that the universe has made it so.
Again, you must act as if it is so. You act in harmony,
regardless of what your spouse does. You remain positive
and don t allow your mate to affect your peace. You smile a
lot. Surprise him with a hug and kiss him on the cheek,
when he begins a fight; then, change the subject to
something pleasant or leave to do something in another
room. You always remain in peace and harmony in your
thoughts, speech and actions/reactions. Now, obviously,
this in itself will affect your spouse; and you may
subconsciously stop doing things that irritate your mate.
Let s say, however, you aren t doing anything to irritate the
spouse and he is starting the fights because of his own
infidelity, creating an excuse (the bad marriage) for his
