03 Working with the Law - LAW OF SUPPLY - Bob Proctor and Mary Morrissey

The Law of Supply: Understanding Human Desire and Abundance

Introduction to the Concept

• The session begins with a quote from the New Testament emphasizing the importance of seeking and asking for what one desires.

• The speaker reflects on childhood teachings about satisfaction, suggesting that while contentment is valuable, it should not hinder ambition or growth.

The Nature of Human Desire

• The speaker argues that perpetual increase and progress are inherent to human nature; once one goal is achieved, another desire emerges.

• This idea is illustrated through examples like Olympic records, where achievements push boundaries further.

Historical Context and Examples

• Roger Bannister's breaking of the four-minute mile serves as a pivotal example of overcoming perceived limitations in human capability.

• Following Bannister's achievement, others quickly followed suit, demonstrating how belief in possibility can lead to rapid advancements.

Seeking Good and Abundance

• The speaker asserts that everyone has an entitlement to seek good in various forms, supported by universal principles of abundance.

• Emphasizes that true fulfillment comes from expressing one's desires and ambitions rather than settling for less.

Retraining Our Thinking

• A significant theme is the need to shift from a mindset of lack to one of abundance; this involves changing agreements we make with our circumstances.

• The concept draws on ancient wisdom (Upanishads) stating that abundance begets more abundance without diminishing others' resources.

Agreement with Abundance

• To manifest desires effectively, individuals must align their thoughts with abundance rather than scarcity; this requires conscious effort and practice.

• Jesus’ life exemplifies this principle—he did not acknowledge limitations but instead focused on potential outcomes like feeding thousands despite apparent shortages.

Ignorance as a Barrier

• The speaker concludes by identifying ignorance as the primary issue hindering understanding and progress; education is essential for overcoming this barrier.

Understanding Abundance and Supply: Key Insights

The Concept of Abundance

• The perception of abundance is often clouded by a lack of understanding or application of universal laws, leading individuals to believe that plenty does not exist.

• Recognizing the infinite source of supply requires seeing beyond physical limitations; everything desired exists in some form.

Demand and Supply in History

• Historical examples, such as Thomas Edison’s electric light invention, illustrate how new ideas face initial skepticism despite their potential advantages.

Asking for Abundance

• Jesus’ teachings serve as metaphors for personal healing and transformation; one must be willing to release limitations to embrace a new way of living.

Consciousness and Perception

Mental Magnetism and Attraction

• The speaker introduces the idea that our minds act as magnets attracting similar energies. However, worries and fears weaken this mental magnetism, limiting one's ability to attract positive outcomes.

Strengthening Mental Magnetism

Worrying Restricts Supply

Understanding the Law of Supply

The Concept of Religion and Supply

• A young executive identified his "religion" as Sears Roebuck, illustrating how personal interests can shape one's understanding of supply.

• The term "religion" derives from the Greek word meaning to bind together; our beliefs and thoughts define our religion, which can sometimes be rooted in scarcity.

Money vs. Supply

• Money is merely one means of supply; it is not inherently evil, but an obsession with it can limit other forms of good.

• Focusing solely on money restricts abundance; a holistic approach allows for greater flow and enjoyment of life's riches.

Lessons from Personal Experience

• A man who amassed wealth regretted losing love, companionship, and health in pursuit of riches, highlighting the importance of balance in life.

• True living involves using the law wisely to satisfy desires without sacrificing essential aspects like relationships and health.

Harmony with Universal Laws

• When aligned with natural laws, individuals experience a smoother flow in life akin to moving with a river's current.

Attracting Good into Life

• Individuals can attract any desired good by aligning their will (desire and expectation), emphasizing that both are necessary for attracting supply.

• Expectation acts as a demand for good; adjusting desires to align with divine plans ensures that only positive outcomes manifest.

Nature's Abundance

• Nature produces blessings abundantly without failure; every individual has a right to access this supply if they understand its principles.

• Artificial constructs have obscured humanity's understanding of natural abundance, leading many away from recognizing their inherent rights to good.

Causes Behind Effects

• The material world reflects effects stemming from deeper causes; recognizing this connection helps clarify desires' origins.

• Understanding that specific goods exist within the realm of causes allows individuals to better navigate their desires toward fulfillment.

Moving Beyond Competition

• Embracing infinite possibilities means letting go of competitive mindsets; cooperation fosters survival and prosperity over competition.

• Evolutionary biology supports that cooperative species thrive amidst change, reinforcing the idea that harmony leads to success rather than rivalry.

The Power of Goodness and Personal Growth

Understanding Your Entitlement to Goodness

• Raymond Hollywell emphasizes that individuals are entitled to all the good they can appropriate and use, suggesting a personal responsibility in realizing and enjoying goodness.

• The concept of tapping into the source of all supply is introduced, highlighting that there is no limit to the good one can develop and enjoy in life.
