There is a power in this Universe that can create health, happiness and spiritual enlightenment. That force is within each of us. And each of us has the choice whether or not to harness that awesome power of Spirit. We may grasp the opportunity to grow in mind, body and soul, or not. Each of us has set up the circumstances that give rise to the growth opportunities we have available right here and right now. The opportunities, often appearing as dispute or conflict, come to us by our own creation, not by chance. These opportunities spur us to develop the powers of thought and spiritual intent, which are hidden at the core of our being through will power. Thus, each conflict or dispute that we experience in a conscious manner is the doorway to greater connection with the Divine and enhanced receipt of the Divine Gifts that are available through the use of spiritual law.

In the 18 years that I have been practicing law, I have never encountered a legal dispute that was not propelled by an underlying issue. Actually, I have found that the type and tenor of legal dispute reflects the participant's (1) habitual trend of thought (2) personal belief system and (3) use of will power as clearly as a mirror reflects one's face. The message I gleaned from this awareness is that each legal conflict holds within it an opportunity for the participants to further develop their powers of responsible positive thought and dynamic conscious will power. The key to this door of opportunity lies in determining the underlying intentions or motives giving rise to the dispute. Once found out, these motivations, which are the fuel that keeps the dispute raging, can be diminished. The truth of the matter can be exposed, and a solution can be easily reached.

While attending the Kryon channelling in Buena Vista, California, I listened as a woman asked a question of Lee Carroll and Jan Tober. The questioner was involved in a bitter legal dispute with a former partner about a real estate deal. She was filled with anger and resentment, fearful that in order to obtain what was rightfully hers she would have to project that anger at her opponent and engage in unbridled legal warfare. She was unable to see how to assert herself without falling victim to the aggressive and debilitating emotions of hate and anger. My compassion and empathy for the woman's plight impelled me to write the outline for the book, How To Bring a Lawsuit With Love. The "Love" to which I refer is Divine Love and Love of Self. Love is much more powerful and sustaining than hate, because "Love" allows one to tap into personal power and become a master of one's own destiny. It is not reactive to emotional stimuli.

As we know, anger is a compelling motivator to action. Anger is not necessarily a bad thing. Whether the action will be fueled with positive or negative force depends upon understanding the motive behind the anger. If, for example, one's anger is stoked by unconscious fear one can expect exhaustion of life energy, weakening of will power, and physical disturbances to result from the anger-motivated action. Obviously, this type of activity (1) creates stress (2) causes loss of youthful appearance and (3) reduces enthusiastic demeanor. One embroiled in intense dispute fueled by fear often appears anxious, depressed, haggard, and worn out. On the other hand, if one uses the conflict to unearth and dispel debilitating fear-based thoughts and replaces them with courage and faith, the resulting actions usually bring a new found exhilaration. Exhilaration and enthusiasm are proven to spark the physical body to produce neurochemicals that relax muscles, increase heart and lung capacity, enhance cellular metabolism, and stimulate digestion. Such revitalizing somatic responses assist in overruling negativity, inhibition and exhaustion. Accordingly, when the power of Love is used to shift mental activity (thought), the physical and emotional bodies come into concert with each other. The resulting harmony provides a backdrop for the spiritual laws of cause and effect and of attraction to work in favor of resolving the conflict once and for all.

Dispelling fearful emotions and supplanting fear with love, courage and faith is a powerful method using spiritual law to resolve disputes. By recognizing and resolving the base emotions and thoughts that operate as the demons that create our conflicts, it is possible to "brave the battle of life with strength unchained. "And, as Jane Evershed has said, "...on the other side of Hell lies Paradise."
