RAMAKRISHNA ANANDA

Keys to Success

The secret to attracting what you want and need

Metaphysicians, mystics and yogis have found that everything is made of Spirit. We provide the molds through which Spirit expresses in the world. As the great metaphysician Ernest Holmes explains, success begins first on a spiritual level and then comes into manifestation on the mental and physical level. We attract into our lives that which we hold in our thoughts and feelings. You can attract the love and success you desire.

Essential Life Skills

The Power of Manifestation

Metaphysically, the way to success is to create an avenue within yourself through which God can manifest and express. To metaphysicians, mystics and yogis, creation is first spiritual. Spirit then inspires mental understandings and physical activity. Ernest Holmes:  By conforming our lives and thoughts to a greater understanding of the law of manifestation, we shall bring into our experience just what we wish, letting go of all that we do not want to experience and taking in the things God wishes for us.

God has given us the power for manifestation. All is Mind — Spirit. It expresses in our lives through spiritual inspiration followed by mental insights. Our thoughts then become causes which bring effects into our lives. We become instruments of Spirit manifesting in the physical world. Like attracts like and we attract to ourselves what we hold in our minds and hearts. Our thoughts and feelings create an atmosphere which determines what is drawn to us.

  • The metaphysician Ernest Holmes (Creative Mind and Success) was the founder of Religious Science
  • Ernest Holmes: Successful people think about success.
  • There must be an acceptance on the part of the individual to provide an avenue through which Spirit can manifest
  • It is important to develop skills and abilities though which the Divine can express
  • Like attracts like and we attract to ourselves that which we hold in our thoughts and feelings
  • Jesus Christ:  All things whatsoever you pray and ask for, believe that you receive them and you shall have them.

How to Succeed

As you may know, we do not charge for our courses. All Yoga World content is free and available to you with our blessings. However, we do have a simple, but important request that’s key to the transformations necessary to succeed on the path.

We ask you to commit two hours a week to selfless service. This service can be anything you choose ranging from helping a family member or neighbor to volunteering at a nonprofit organization.

I Commit to Serve

This commitment is solely between you and your inner self.

Why the Commitment?
