You'll learn

  • 1Your subconscious mind is a literal recording device that transforms every word you speak and every fear you hold into a physical command.
  • 2Life is not a battle to be won through struggle but a game of giving and receiving governed by spiritual laws.
  • 3Material shortage cannot be solved with material effort because true supply exists on an infinite spiritual plane.
  • 4Resistance anchors negative patterns to your reality, while blessing your enemies and obstacles renders them powerless.
  • 5The Law of Karma returns exactly what you give, but the Law of Grace can erase past mistakes and karmic debts.
  • 6Divine Design is a pre existing masterpiece of your life encompassing health, wealth, love, and self expression that is unlocked through faith.
  • 7Manifestation requires active faith, which means preparing for the result physically before the evidence appears in the material world.

About this summary

Stop fighting your obstacles and start blessing them; your struggle is actually a command you're giving your subconscious to keep the door locked.
