The Creator’s Three Steps

You may reuse spiritual substance infinitely and draw on new spiritual substance for all your creations on earth. As a creator, you use desire, thinking, planning, direction, and control to do this. The Creator’s Three Steps are essential in all creation, whether in heaven or on earth.

Desire

The desire to create is always the first step in creation, whether in the macrocosm or the microcosm, whether of the Godhead or of the finite individualized expressions, the creator-servants here on earth. A consuming desire is the first necessity. Desire is your foundation.

Using the Creator’s first step, you must gain that point of consuming desire by unearthing all past ideals, unlocking your cold storage room of buried youthful ideas and desires. Consciously recall all past aims, visions and goals from your present life and all past incarnations on earth. Your subconscious holds all crystallized and frozen, awaiting love’s magic touch to bring it forth.

Love, the highest expression of desire, is the foundation rock upon which you build. Using your awakened desire to know as the first step toward success, fan the spark of desire to know into an all-consuming, flaming conflagration of desire to do, which removes all obstacles.

Thinking and Planning

Using the Creator’s second step, think and plan in two ways: First, think through all the laws you already know (do not just think about them) and plan their present and future application to what you desire to be. Then plan exactly what you desire to create as a creator-servant of God and what you can do this very instant toward that success with the tools and substance you already have.

In a small notebook, list all your personal desires in order of their greater or lesser value, omitting nothing, for nothing is too great or too small to include. Analyze each desire separately and decide what you can do now toward its accomplishment.

For example, if you desire all textbooks for study, are you reading at least one line each day in what you already have? Are you organizing at least one line a day in your work? Apply this method to your whole list.

Conscious Directing and Controlling

Using the Creator’s third step, direct and control your plan in two ways: First, direct all your soul powers into soul expression of being and control all soul expression of doing. Then direct all your appetitive soul, the little self, into complete surrender to become the full servant of all God’s Power.

Lift all your thinking, imagination and emotional desires to a cloud continent of Light until you conquer utterly every negative tendency to misuse these marvelous powers. This creates your ability to stand and hold complete control over your continuity of determination, perseverance, persistence and steadfastness. Finally, you are established on the unshakable foundation of wisdom, love, faith, and joy.

This method is a foundation formula that you cannot reduce or restrict. You may add to, enlarge and expand it to hold all truth. Yet for this foundation formula to operate, you must vitalize and quicken it by active use and continuous exercise, which is your choice. No one else may choose for you.

The formula is free. The choice is free. The Substance, Power and Mind to be contacted are free. Can you ask more of God?
