The Law of Divine Compensation

November 19, 2012
Williamson (A Return to Love) may be the most renowned spiritual activist and author teaching spiritual principles based on A Course in Miracles. The Course, as it is fondly referred to, presents in lesson format spiritual understandings in Christian language. This latest book by Williamson, as with all Course-based books, addresses how we should perceive things, using one pivotal principle: love is the all-encompassing reality of God, and love (or remembering God) is the only eternal truth. It addresses the ways we attract miracles or deflect them (anger, guilt, a negative sense of self), with a focus on the particular attitudes that will pave the way to material abundance. What Williamson calls the Law of Divine Compensation is the deeper realization that "to whatever extent your mind is aligned with love, you will receive divine compensation for any lack in your material existence." Since internal abundance is ultimately the source of our external abundance, 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.
