In the beginning, there was a clown; and the clown was all that is. There was nothing that “was”, that was not the clown.
And then the clown said, “let there be a balloon”! And so a balloon was inflated and came into existence.
Every balloon that came into existence was created through the clown’s thought and desire for a balloon.
Everything the clown “thought” of became a balloon that was made in the likeness and image of what the clown imagined.
The clown created through FOCUSED THOUGHT (or the spoken word). Everything the clown most strongly believed to be true became a balloon.
Now, the balloon was merely a manifestation of the clown’s very self, since the clown was ALL THAT IS.
The clown could only create balloons out of its self, since the clown was the only substance in existence.
The clown, being the First Cause, is the source and substance of all things. And so the balloon literally was the clown; for the clown became (and always was) the balloon.
The first balloons the clown created were the balloons of “time”, “space”, “matter”, “energy”, and “gravity”.
The time, space, matter, energy and gravity balloons were created for the purpose of the clown “buffering” its ability to instantly create.
In effect, the clown had a “problem” whereby everything thought of was created INSTANTLY. There was no time or space; so what the clown thought of, it was.
And so the “first” balloons that were “created” had to be constants and natural laws so that the clown could buffer its own “instantness”.
Now, the clown could imagine a balloon and become/experience it in a linear, orderly and limited fashion. The “unlimited clown” became a “limited balloon”; the unconditioned substance conditioned itself.
The clown still became every balloon it thought of, only now it was able to “slow down” the process of doing so.
The clown said: "Everything I think, I am instantly. I shall think of time in space. So I can buffer my instantness and experience myself in a linear manner. Thereby, I can savor myself."
First Cause, to really savor itself, becomes you and I, forgetting it's the First Cause.
We are the limited First Cause, veiling the unlimited First Cause, limited by First Cause, so we can experience the unlimited linearly and limitedly.
Now that this was so, the clown was able to experience itself in a richer and deeper way. With these constants and natural laws in place, the clown could begin to inflate balloons without being overwhelmed by the instant creation of all of its own thoughts; the natural laws gave the clown the gift of “time delay”.
Now the clown could really have some fun!
The next thing that the clown did was radical. The clown said, “I want to enjoy my balloons in an authentic way. I’m going to become a balloon and experience my other balloons from the “conditioned” balloon perspective that I individualize myself as; all while giving myself amnesia!
I’m going to forget that I’m the clown! I’m going to give birth to myself in my own creation, forgetting that I created it! So that I could have a rich and authentic experience, and also see if I can remember that I am the clown at some point in my balloon experience.. if I remember, this will thereby enrich and expand my experience and awareness of myself being the clown”.
And so the clown did just that.
The clown decided to become you and me and everyone else.
But now that the clown was an apparent balloon, with no recollection of itself being the clown, the clown began to think that all the balloons that were around it were clowns (that the external appearances were causative).
The clown, now thinking it was a balloon, began to believe that the balloons were separate from itself and had inherent power.
Due to thinking that the balloons had power, the clown began to think that the balloons had the power to hurt, harm, and hinder the balloon it was inhabiting. This produced a lot of stress, anxiety and fear in the clown’s consciousness.
Now, of course, the clown was not a balloon; it was the clown (in principle). But now the clown had forgotten also that everything that was thought of, spoken, felt, imagined or believed became a balloon.
And so by the clown THINKING that the balloons had inherent power and SAYING that the balloons had the power to hurt, harm and hinder, literally FLOWED the clown’s own power into the balloons! Causing them to now have the power to hurt, harm and hinder.
The clown had wrongfully given its own authority to a balloon that it itself created. All because of ignorance in what and who it really is, which is the clown.
Now that the balloons had “clown power” behind them, they all became “constants” and “natural laws”. In and of themselves, they were not constants or natural laws, but the clown’s own existence being the only constant and natural law gave these balloons the substance of being so as well.
When the clown came into its own creation, it looked at the balloons of time, space, matter, and gravity, and said: “Well, I don’t remember making these, so these must be inherent principles that preceded me.”
Now that the clown believed itself to be a balloon and that the balloons around it were powerful, with the ability to “cause” and “create”, it began to believe in all sorts of crazy balloons!
It was as if by believing that time and space were balloons with power of its own, led to believing that EVERYTHING IT SAW had power of its own. Then this led to even believing that there were powerful balloon forces that were invisible! So now, not only did the clown think that what was visible was causative, but that there were invisible causes as well.
The clown began coming up with all sorts of theories it didn’t even have the evidence for of different possible balloons, both visible and invisible, that could hurt, harm and hinder its life as a balloon.
And unfortunately, every belief in a balloon that the clown made up literally had to manifest and become the clowns reality. This was of course due to the fact that everything the clown thought of was created, but the clown had forgotten this.
The clown, not knowing its own creative powers, began to petition the balloons it thought to have power with its requests and desires. Asking the balloons for "permission" to create and to transfer their authority to it.
All the while not knowing that all it had to do was “think” of what it wanted and it would be created.
With so many beliefs in external powers and secondary causes, outside of itself, the clown began to feel very disempowered and helpless.
Not realizing that what it thought was clowns were balloons that it blew up itself and were itself!
So seeing all the balloons, thinking they were all Constants and immutable laws it had no control over, with power of their own, the clown began to believe in all sorts of balloons. Like human nature, lack, limitation, potential unpreferred conditions, competition, value, duality, and division.
This focus on and belief in so many external powers (second causes) made the clown feel very disempowered, anxious, fearful, stressed sad, mad, depressed and confused.
The clown said, "Well, if time, space, gravity and the material world are forces I have no control over, then there must be all sorts of forces I have no control over! Like the economy or how people treat me or the quality of my relationships or my financial status. Oh well, it is what it is."
But being that the clown is the clown and not the balloon it thinks it is, every balloon that the clown thinks to be a balloon becomes a constant and natural law!
FOR THE WAY THE CLOWN MAKES A BALLOON IS THROUGH THOUGHT.
The clown didn’t realize that all that it was aware of being, doing and having, was effortlessly expressed as a condition (a balloon). And so very often the clown thought of its desires and wishes, but would then think of all the obstacles, hindrance and resistance (balloons) it would have to overcome to receive them.
But this was a huge mistake, because the very thought that there was obstacles and resistance in the way of its desires, LITERALLY CREATED the very obstacles and resistance! Due to all of the clown’s thoughts manifesting in the exact image and likeness of what it thought about.
The clown was in actuality the only “thing” in its own way. But due to not remembering itself as the clown, it thought that the resistance was an “other”, a cause and power outside of itself, a “second cause”.
The clown naturally began to develop desires for the destruction of the opposing balloons. Feeling that it was necessary to remove the resistance before being able to manifest its desire.
Not knowing that the whole time, the apparent opposition was merely itself, projected and expressed externally and not knowing that THERE IS NO SECOND CAUSE.
The clown’s imagination is the only cause; and this fact remained so even as the clown became a balloon. But now, the clown felt like it was a balloon, subject to and at the mercy of the balloons it thought to have power!
And so the clown decided to begin collecting the balloons it believed to have power, so that it itself could begin to feel powerful. If it had the powerful or valuable balloon, the clown would begin to feel valuable and power. This was because due to the amnesia, the clown no longer had an inherent sense of value and power.
The clown literally IS value and power, but forgetting to be the clown, it felt it needed external balloons to become so. This included having balloon cars, balloon homes, balloon money, balloon facebook likes, nice balloon haircuts, balloon merits, joining balloon organizations, wearing balloon necklaces, wearing balloon shoes and having balloon intercourse.
When the clown had the right balloons, it would feel whole, valuable, powerful, complete and finally feel like a clown; when the clown didn’t have the right balloons, it would feel unwhole, valueless, powerless, incomplete and not feel like a clown.
And this feeling of unwholeness and feeling of not being the clown was unbearable to the clown.
The clown was continuously trying to fill its sense of lack with more and more balloons. But the clown quickly found out that this feeling of wholeness that certain balloons provided was temporary, fluid and often unobtainable.
The clown thought that it needed a balloon to feel whole, but didn’t realize that all it would have to do is FEEL whole (literally just feel like the clown it is) and it would get ALL the balloons it wants. For every balloon that the clown may want already exists “within” the clown.
The clown is literally its own desire! Not just has it, IS IT.
And so the clowns belief in external powers and forces like the economy and weather and the clowns belief that its financial status is fixed and that balloon life is hard, flows First Cause "Clown power" into these beliefs and thereby makes them Constants and natural laws.
So now life being hard, unhealthy relationships and being poor become as constant as gravity and the clown's life as an apparent balloon.
The clown is the First Cause; it is unlimited and all powerful awareness, with nothing to hinder it. First Cause “thinks“, and it is what it thinks, Instantly.
First Cause, to really “savor” itself, becomes you and I. Forgetting it’s the first cause! we are the “unlimited first cause“ veiling the “unlimited first cause“, limited by first cause so we can experience the unlimited, linearly and limitedly!
And so we come into our own creation, forgetting we created it. And thus came to believe in second causes (external powers, powers outside of our own consciousness).
In our ignorance of ourselves, being the First Cause, we begin to unconsciously, create more and more external powers for ourselves, by our focus and belief in them (the second cause). A balloon becomes a second cause when the First Cause (you) thinks it actually has power.
This is the law of attraction in a nutshell: you are not a balloon, subject to other balloons. You are the First Cause in your own creation, with the full capacities of First Cause.
You are not your external "Marlon Chavez", "Sarah Jane", or "John Smith" identity. You are the First Cause (God, Source, Universe, Consciousness) that became the Marlon Chavez, Sarah Jane, John Smith identidy and who still is the First Cause.
The balloons, or things you felt as constants are not constants at all! They are just balloons you inflated. And just as you inflated these balloons, you can deflate, let go of, or pop the balloons you do not prefer just as easily!
You can inflate the balloons you prefer and experience “new balloons“, new constants! This happens automatically, as you stay First Cause Conscious.
(First Cause Consciousness means to remain AWARE that your own thought is the only power and cause, and rejecting all belief and appearance of a secondary causative power. This also means rejecting all sense evidence that seems to oppose your desires, whether it be for health, wealth, or a restored relationship)
You are not subject to the balloons of poverty, poor relationships, or ill health. You are the balloon maker, and you can right now blow up the balloons of health, wealth and thriving relationships.
It isn't what it is! It is what you say it is.
Now that you realize you are the clown (First Cause), you are no longer a passive victim to your balloons (external conditions/the external world). You choose your balloons! And that’s the Law of Attraction. The more First Cause Conscious you are, the more you have the power to reign over and pop any balloons you don’t prefer.
For example: Florence Scovel Shinn (one of the greatest law of attraction teachers of the 20th century) once had a man approach her, saying he needed $50,000 by the next day for his business, but that all the banks he had gone to flatly refused to give him a loan. Florence told the man that once he controls himself, he can control any situation. She spoke an affirmation over him saying, “You are connected with the spirit of everyone at the bank. Let the divine idea come out of the situation”. She then told him to go back to the bank and fearlessly ask for the loan.
The man said, “Woman you are talking about an impossibility. The bank closes at 12, my train won’t get me there until 10, they already said no and my deadline is tomorrow! It’s too late!”(notice that this man was completely focused on external powers, “the balloons”. He felt the balloon had power. He was second cause conscious.) Florence responded “God doesn’t need any time. It is never too late. With God, all things are possible.” (Notice that she gave absolutely no power to the external evidence. To her, the balloons had absolutely no authority to hinder or deny the man his manifestation. She was fully First Cause Conscious and she knew he was the First Cause too.)
The next day of the man did as Florence said and went back to the bank. His train was late; he did not arrive until 11:45. With only 15 minutes left, he said: “I’ve come for the loan“ and they gave it to him without a question.
When the First Cause (clown) believes a second cause (balloon) has any power, First Cause power is blown into the second cause balloon. Thereby making it seem powerful and real (like the bank, telling the man no).
When you believe in a second cause, whether it’s the economy, the weather, demons, angels, satan, God, other people, political parties, or the president, you flow your First Cause thought power to the second cause. And since your consciousness is the only power, that second cause now has First Cause power behind it. The second cause is empowered by your thought and thereby is made to appear real and powerful.
All those scary, daunting conditions around you, that you feel hinder you, that you feel you have no control over, are really just YOU. The external world is a reflection and expression of your consciousness!
Second causes aren’t actually real. But believing they are makes them real! Now that the only real thing (you) are behind them.
In Florence Scovel Shinn’s story about the man at the bank, the man looked at all the apparent external powers; the train, the time, the deadline, the bank having said no and it “being too late“. And he believed all these conditions to be hindrances to his manifestation of $50,000. He believed in second causes and he felt powerless against them.
(Belief in second cause, causes one to feel discouraged, disempowered, unwhole, undeserving, powerless, and insecure.)
While this man was second cause conscious, Florence was First Cause conscious. She basically said, “Dude, what are you talking about? You aren’t subject to these second causes! These balloons have no power to deny you! You are the First Cause! You’re the clown! Reign over your balloons! Go back to the bank and manifest your money! Go inflate a new balloon! I said an affirmation over you, and it is now a balloon in your life!”
This is my message to you, my friend.
You’ve been believing in a breakthrough for a long time.
You’ve known the Law of Attraction and don’t understand what you weren’t doing right.
You may be going through the biggest challenge of your life and you need a swift deliverence.
You've blown it, big time, and are completely undeserving of anything good to happen to you and you've lost hope of ever having anything good come to you again.
Or you just need a miracle.
But sense evidence and conditions tell you it’s not going to happen. Things don’t seem to be moving. It looks like everything in the external opposes your desires.
I’m here to tell you that all that appears to challenge you it’s just a balloon. It has no inherent power. The only power behind the opposition is your BELIEF that it’s there.
For example: When I was in prison, a friend and I were in the dining room on a “pizza night“. My friend wanted to take his pizza back to the unit, which was against the rules, so he needed to do it without a guard watching him. He wrapped it up in a plastic wrap and just as he was doing so, one of the prison guards walked towards us, and stood two tables away from us, looking in our direction.
My friend looked at me and said a dirty word. Just then, another guard walked towards us, and stood right next to the other guard. My friend repeated that dirty word, just a little louder. Just then, TWO MORE GUARDS walked towards us and stood next to the other two guards! So now we had four guards standing two tables away and looking right at us. My friend said, "dude, you’ve got to be f kidding me.“
If my friend stood up, all the guards would have clearly seen the wrapped up pizza he had in his lap. We waited a moment, and none of them moved. Finally, my friend looked at me and said, “You know what? It’s just a piece of pizza. If they take it, they take it, I don’t care!“ My friend then stood up fearlessly, and the moment he stood up, ALL FOR GUARDS TURNED AROUND. None of them saw him take the pizza right now, to which I was amazed, for it was so obvious!
His focus on the “balloons”, kept the balloons there and multiplied them! His focus on being WHOLE either way (with or without his manifestation) and his INDIFFERENCE to the balloons, deflated what looked to hinder him!
You are the First Cause! You are not subject to any external condition. You are not a powerless balloon at the mercy of "other" balloons!
You are the balloon maker! There is no power to challenge or spoken Word. Your own thought is the only power. What is all encompassing (your thoughts) can have no opposites.
Resistance doesn’t exist!
Opposition doesn’t exist!
Hindrance doesn’t exist!
Interference doesn’t exist!
The moment you begin to believe in interference, you conjure and summon it into the external. Like my friend with the pizza.
The only thing challenging your prayers is yourself, by your believe that there is something to challenge your prayers (belief in a second cause)! Begin to recognize all sense evidence that appears to challenge your prayer as a lie and recognize that the only real reality is your desire! The moment you do this, you will see evidence that this is so.
The second cause will dissolve, instantaneously, “in the twinkling of an eye.“
"The guards will turn around“, the “people at the bank will give you the loan“ and you’ll have your manifestation.
For example: In 2016, I was 18 years old and in the process of acquiring a drivers permit. Every appointment at the DMV had to be scheduled a month in advance. When I first showed up, the woman at the front desk told me I needed a photo ID. I said “I do not have one; I am actually here to get one.“ She told me to find a school ID and that she would accept that. So I found a fifth grade school ID. I scheduled another appointment and when I showed up the following month, the woman told me I needed two pieces of mail. I asked her if there was a list of all that I needed, she said “yes“ and handed me one. The following month I showed up again and had the two pieces of mail. I handed them to the woman and she looked at them and told me it was the wrong kind of mail. “It can’t just be delivery receipts of things you ordered online. It must be government issued mail like bills.“ I told her I don’t get any bills; I’m only 18 years old.“ To which she responded, “bring in two pieces of your parents mail and will take it from there.“ I asked my mother for two articles of her mail, scheduled another appointment, and the following month showed up again. I thought, “there is nothing that lady can tell me now, I have everything.“ The woman looked at the two pieces of mail, and said, who is this?“ I responded, “That is, my mother, you told me to bring in two pieces of her mail, and that you would accept them.“ She then said, “Your mother has to be here, with her photo ID to confirm that this is her.“ I was in awe; it almost seemed as if she was making all this up just because she didn’t want me to get my permit. My girlfriend (at the time) even cussed at the lady, saying: “what the F dude?“ I told my girlfriend, “Let’s go outside.“ And we stood in front of the DMV and I said to her, “I just don’t get it. It’s just a permit. Why are we meeting so much resistance?" And she, who a moment ago was angry and cussing, said in a most modest manner, “Well. We haven’t visualized it yet.“
I will never forget those words.
I said, “Wow.. we haven't! Do you think it would work for this?“ “It works for everything!“ She said. And so I said, "Well, let’s visualize it right now! Close your eyes!“
We began to picture my permit in my hand right there in front of the DMV. We visualized for 30 seconds. For her, and I had a rule not to visualize something for over 30 seconds because 30 seconds is all you need.
“Great! Now that we visualized it, it absolutely has to happen!“ I said.
I proceeded to call my mother on the phone. I called her three times. She didn’t pick up for any. I became discouraged and finally gave up. I told my girlfriend, “What’s the use? She's not answering. I’ll just schedule another appointment and try to get her to the next one.“
I was honestly pretty demoralized at the apparent defeat. The “balloons“ sure dun got me that day!
Then she asked me, “OK, what would you like to do now?“ “I don’t know“ I said. “Want to go eat something?“ She replied. She sure knew how to cheer me up.
“Yeah, let’s do that!“ I said happily. She started the car and began pulling out of the DMV parking lot. Right as she was about to turn onto the main road, I saw something in my peripheral vision. I turned to look directly and saw a short bus in the DMV parking lot.
I immediately said, "Pull up to that bus!" She drove up next to it; I got out of the car and walked up to the side of the bus. The door opened up, and my mother was inside! This was my mothers bus for work! I can’t make this stuff up. My mother was posted up in the bus, IN THE DMV PARKING LOT, right When I needed her!
I explained to my mother what was going on and that I needed her to come inside the DMV with me to get my driver's permit. She went inside with me and we completely bypassed the woman at the front desk. I felt like saying, "Nana Nana Boo Boo!"
I received my permit is less than 10 minutes!
When I didnt visualize it first, I met with 4 months of heavy, uncommon and almost unbelievable resistance. After I visualized it, I got it in less than 15 minutes!
Nothing moves until mind (your consciousness) moves it!
The resistances and conditions in your external world that seem to oppose your desires, are but phantoms! They are apparitions! Cobwebs that are easily swept away!
The “guards looking right at you“
The “bank that already said no”
The “lady at the front desk”
And whatever they represent in your world are powerless against you.
Through more and more understanding of the Law of Attraction, which I also call becoming more First Cause Conscious”, You too will effortlessly sweep those cobwebs away and see for yourself how easily you can. “bypass the woman at the DMV”.
You are the only thing resisting your desire. You are the power behind “the lady at the DMV”.
You attracted "her" through your belief in external powers and second causes. You can remove "her" (which represents the resistance you meet in the world) through a deeper understanding, more awareness of the First Cause (the Law of Attraction. Who is yourself).
Physical reality has no power to deny you. It is really you who deny yourself. There is no such thing as “no”.
As the first cause, I choose what is the truth
Everything that appears to challenge or resist me is a lie. There’s nothing to challenge omnipotence
My consciousness is Alpha and Omega; all things begin and end with me
