The Law of Divine Compensation: On Work, Money, and Miracles Hot

“With every thought we think we either summon or block a miracle…you are not lacking just because your circumstances are.” So says Marianne Williamson (The Age of Miracles, A Return to Love) one of the most renowned authors teaching spiritual principles based on A Course in Miracles. This latest book by Williamson, as with all her Course-based books, addresses how we should perceive things, rather than what we should perceive. One pivotal principle frames the Course spiritual teachings: love is the all-encompassing reality of God, and love (or remembering God) is the only eternal truth. This book speaks from this principle to the ways we attract miracles and also how we deactivate them, focusing on the particular attitudes that will pave the way to material abundance. Negative attitudes such as anger, guilt, and a negative sense of self suppress our inner worth, and this gets reflected in our circumstances. What Williamson calls the “Law of Divine Compensation” is the deeper realization that “whatever extent your mind is aligned with love, you will receive divine compensation for any lack in your material existence.” A shift in thinking from fear to love is the miracle, one that allows us to become a willing channel for the infinite creative energy of the universe.
