What’s LAW Got to Do With It?
By
“Mystery is only another name for ignorance; all things are mysteries when they are not understood, but when we understand life, it no longer appears mysterious”
~ Raymond Holliwell 1964
The brilliant author of the above quote wrote a dynamic book in the early 1960’s titled “Working with the Law”. I have had it in my possession since the early 1980’s when I was introduced to it.
After devouring the book with highlighter in hand, I knew I had found the solution to so many mysteries. Having chosen spirituality over religion I knew I had found my ‘bible’, so to speak. I now had that faith in an invisible, intangible, omnipotent force some call God, Higher Power, All Knowing, Higher Consciousness, Divine Source, etc. and in my world became “Universal Law”. In fact, some just exchange the word ‘Law’ for ‘God’ and are quite comfortable with that.
So, as they say, whatever floats your boat. The fact remains; there are incredible powers available to all of us to ‘have everything you want every time’ (remember that phrase because soon it is going to be popping up all over the place!). What is even more interesting is that these powers are in action whether you know it, or believe it or not.
You’ll want to learn about your powers unless you want to be used by them. It’s like being conscious or oblivious. You may not believe you can get a sunburn, after all you can’t see the UVB rays, but you will get one if you ignore this law of nature. You cannot see Universal Laws, but if you don’t align yourself with them you will not have what you want. It’s as plain and simple as that. You can’t have thoughts of poverty, loneliness, failure, and fear and expect to enjoy a life of riches, love, success and mental peace. It just cannot happen.
The great thing is that these powers are all in your control. All you have to do is take ownership of them, learn about them and use them. See? Simple. You decide what you want, take the helm, navigate the laws while remaining within the guidelines and voila! You’ve got it.
The vast majority of people don’t set goals because, deep down, they don’t believe they have control over their lives. Like attracts like and they become surrounded with other like minded people. The multi-person belief feeds the flames of contagion and before long they all become defeated in life and although they complain, they are actually in a comfort zone. It isn’t really that comfortable but it’s more comfortable (less scary) than having to step out and take charge of their life. And stepping out requires a shift that would take the power of dynamite. But it has been done.
Now if you were compelled to read this, you are not in the situation just described. You may unknowingly be in sync with some of the Universal Laws quite naturally and having some successes in life, but there is still a searching going on; a restlessness and a feeling that there is something more. You haven’t reached that stage of lasting ebullience, inner peace and insulation against the ills of the world that tend to drag us down. You want more. All you have to do is work with the Law.
Another name for the omnipotent energy is ‘Creator’. All of humanity has the urge and ability to create, it was given to us. We are meant to create better lives for ourselves first and then to help create better lives for others. This is what inspired goal setting is all about. First you get your own life in order by deciding how you want it to be, work with the Law to get it there and then you get the privilege to help others attain their desired life. This is your reward. There is no feeling equal to the one you receive when you are sincerely thanked by a person whom you have helped to solve a problem, gain a new perspective, reduce their stress, heal, gain new knowledge, etc. But first you have to do it for yourself.
I said it was simple, I didn’t say it was easy. We put value in expensive things because we think they are unattainable, and in reaching mountain tops because the climb is difficult, we value a doctorate degree because the road has been long and hard. It’s the same in working with the Law because although the concept is simple, there is a lot of learning to do and experiences to have and effort to expend. When you take this on you become a life long student.
And it is all so worth it!
OK, so the stage has been set. The blog post prior to this one told you about one of the Laws, the Law of Thinking. There are ten more according to Raymond Holliwell and I will be writing about them here. Remember that your life does not come at you, it comes from you and the fact that you are in the driver’s seat can be good news or bad news depending on how you look at it. The Laws of the Universe allow us to have anything we desire within the bounds of nature, in fact it’s already here; all you have to do is make the connection. The Laws of the Universe are the rungs in the ladder.
Keep on Goaling!

Right up my ally, I’ve been studying Working With The Law for a while. Like your clarity.
Sue Painter
Thanks for sharing. I’m adding this to my reading list.
Write on!~
Lisa
Thanks Sue, I think it’s one of those books we study for a lifetime!
Lynn
Well worth it Lisa!
Keep on Goaling!
Lynn
That is very interesting to here that most people don’t set goals!
I must be an oddball because I love setting intentions for things I want to create and then focusing my whole being on creating it.
Thanks Lynn, for the food for thought. It’s so true people don’t want to create their goals, especially on paper, because then they would have to act on them. But there’s no more joy I feel than when I’m pursuing my passion!
Linda
your statement that life comes From you, not At you is empowering and frightening at the same time.
I’m looking forward to hearing more!
Ahhh, that ol’ “I have to take responsibility” thing we all just ‘love’! The other side of that coin is the “but I aso have the power to change it” thing. Such a tug-o-war! Thanks Grace
Lynn
Linda, yes, it is a shame especially when all they need is a little guidance and know-how. I’m hoping to change all that!
Such a born goal setter you are, Laura. You must have done this ‘work’ in a past life!
What are the statistics? Only 3 percent of the population actually have goals/intentions that are written out?
It is interesting how much more powerfully I step into goals when I take the time to write them out, or, even better vision board them and connect with them on a regular basis.
Thanks for the great tip and reading suggestion, Lynn.

Phil, 3% of a Harvard class actually had goals written down with an intention to fulfill them. A 10 year follow up showed that 3% group earning substantially higher income than those who did not. Hmmm
This is a great post! I love this book as well and you’re right – so many people feel that they are at the mercy of the world outside themselves and have no control over their lives, so why bother? This is a great reminder that this is simply not so!
