new way。
Marg's first introduction to this dynamic law dates back
approximately ten years； to a time when she and her family
were attending a series of seminars； which I was then
conducting； on the subject of 〃prosperity。〃 Soon after the
seminars had been pleted； I visited Marg at her home。
She； her husband Don； and I； were discussing many ideasall
of which had to do with the subject of prosperity。 At some
point； during the course of our discussion； the issue of 〃their
home〃 was raised。 Marg looked at her living room； became
visibly upset； and angrily proclaimed that she was 〃sick and
tired of living the way they had been living。〃
She then pointed to the curtains in her living room and
said； 〃You know something； I absolutely detest those old
drapes。〃 I smiled at her and replied； 〃No you don't Marg； you
love them。 Otherwise you wouldn't have kept them so close to
you。〃 I continued； 〃For the only things we have in our life； are
those things that we love or are in harmony with。〃 Marg told
me that she had a difficult time accepting the idea that she
could actually 〃be in love with〃 something she found so utterly
displeasing。
By this point； Don was thoroughly convinced that we had
both 〃gone off our rockers〃； Marg for even attempting to
understand what I had been explaining； and me； for actually
believing it！ Nevertheless； I continued with my explanation and
I informed them； that if a person remains continually in close
proximity with somethingbe it another person or an objectit
can only be because the person is in harmonious vibration
with them； or it。 The reason I could say this； I explained； was
that 〃love〃 is just another word for resonance or harmonious
vibration。 I told them； finally； that what I had just stated was a
law of the universe。 （Whether or not they fully understood it；
or even believed it； made absolutely no difference whatsoever。）
I explained to Marg that if it was true she really did
detest the drapesas she claimed she didshe would already
have taken them down； had them cleaned and given them
away to the Crippled Civilians； the Salvation Army； St。 Vincent
de Paul； or some charity that would have been able to put
them to good use。 Don looked at me in a state of
bewilderment。 Then he firmly asserted； that 〃She's not taking
those drapes down； because we have nothing to replace them
with； nor can we afford to purchase a replacement。〃 I can
remember saying to him in reply； 〃Don； please understand；
you will never hang new drapes； or new curtains； until you
have first made a space for them。〃 〃Indeed；〃 I continued； 〃the
real secret behind the vacuum law of prosperity lies in the fact
that； by giving the old drapes away； you would automatically
have been making room for the new。〃 In other words； you can't
get something until you are first willing to give something
away。 （Bear in mind； however； that 〃giving〃 means letting go of
pletely or totally abandoning； to another。） Clearly； this is
an extremely difficult concept for a person who is solely
attached to the material world； to even prehend； let alone
practise。
We discussed the information summarized above for a
while longer and then Marg moved herself into action。 She
began by taking down the living room drapes which she had
looked at in anger for so many years。 By doing this； she was
immediately ridding herself of the source of so many years of
frustration。 For every time she looked at； or even thought
about； those drapes； a very negative image would instantly
flash across the screen of her mind。 She would then move
herself into a negative vibration； and thereby begin to attract
more of what she did not want into her life。 As she started
removing the drapes from their hooks； Don came very near to
exploding in a fit of rage。 Nevertheless； Marg would not back
down； even in the face of this tremendous opposition； and she
continued to act on the idea which I had planted in her mind。
Don's response at this point； was to say； 〃Well I guess we
are going to have to buy some new ones now； whether I like it
or not。〃 I then explained to them that they should not worry
about how they would obtain the new drapes； at this juncture。
The important thing was that they would soon have what they
needed。 The reason this was so； I explained； is not really all
that difficult to prehend； reduced to it's most simple level；
we can say that； 〃people will soon bee tired of living their
lives in a fish bowl。〃
For a little while； Don and Marg lived without any drapes
hanging on their window。 But then one day I visited their
home； and sure enough； Marg had the drapes which she
wanted； and she had them right where she wanted them！ Little
by little； the awareness of this great truth had begun to creep
into her consciousness。
It wasn't long after this； that there was no furniture left
in their living room。 Marg had bee tired of living with it
after so many years； so she simply gave it away。 By doing so；
she automatically created the space she required for the good
which she desired。 Soon their entire home had been
pletely refurnished and redecorated； and now she has it；
〃just the way she wants it。〃
A few days ago； my wife and I were visiting Don and Marg
in their home。 As we were driving away； Linda said to me；
〃Their home really looks nice； doesn't it。〃 I couldn't help but
smile； knowing the background and having been an integral
part of the many battles which had taken place； each time
something else had been given away。 The last time I spoke to
Marg on the telephone she said； 〃Isn't it incredible； what a
tremendous difference a little bit of knowledge can make in
your life。 You only have to learn a little bit； to receive so
much。〃 That statement is oh so true。 For a little bit of
awareness； does make a tremendous difference in results。
Therefore ask yourself； what do you have lying around you
that you really don't like？ Then ask yourself why don't you just
package it up； give it away； and make space for the good that
you really do desire。 Remember； this 〃law〃 which I have been
discussing； applies to every aspect of your life。
On numerous occasions during the course of my
seminars； I have discussed this law。 I have explained to
audiences； that although almost everyone likes to have new
clothes； most people have no room in their closets for hanging
any new clothes。 In fact； when you hang something in your
closet； you probably have to push other clothes aside； just to
fit another hanger on the bar。 The irony is； however； that
many of the clothes that are hanging in your closet； you
probably don't even wear！
In saying this； I am well aware that some of your clothes
may have been expensive； so you are rather reluctant to
dispose of them。 However； you know as well as I do； some of
the clothes which you have hanging in your closet； are
hanging there simply because they don't feel fortable to
you when you do put them on （there is something about them
you do not like）。 Therefore； I would strongly suggest； simply
give them away。 By
