Have you ever had the
experience of finding something, let’s say a movie or a book, that you liked so
much you wanted to keep it to yourself? You weren’t being fair, you knew that.
You wanted the person who conceived it to be successful, and if the message
could help humankind, it ought to be out there, but still, it was your find,
your treasure.
I felt similar after finding
The Law of Attraction. However, it was like the excellent book title by Gloria
Steinem, “The Truth will Set You Free, but first it Will Piss You Off.”
I didn’t like the term, The Law
of Attraction. I didn’t understand it. I didn’t like the hype associated with
it, and most of the messages regarding it weren’t clear anyway. People raved
that they were in “vibrational harmony” with it, and that was annoying. People
were giving classes on it, but I thought most of them didn’t have a clue about
what they were talking about. Some were so pedantic it was annoying.
The movie The Secret
gave us an appetizer, but not a whole meal.
I stayed away from talking
about it. I didn’t know what I was talking about anyway. I couldn’t explain it,
except, sneaky little thing that it is, it leaked into my writing every once in
a while.
On top of that, I didn’t want
to be known as airy-fairy. I don’t know why. I guess I didn’t want to be lumped
in with many other people who are proclaiming that they understand The Law of
Attraction. I’m not saying that they are kooks, but some are. You know how hard
it is to separate the wheat from the chaff.
So, there I was, talking about
how life works, yet ignoring the one thing that might explain it all.
Except if you try to explain
it, chances are you will end up in a puddle of confusion.
It’s simple, you say, “You
attract what you are.”
Yeah, sure, but “I’m attracting many things not wanted,” you might say. “I don’t want them there. I
didn’t ask for them. I want them to go away.”
How can people in Somalia
attract their way of life? Why would a baby be born to starve to death?
You can find many reasons why
creating your reality isn’t true.
Some people think it interferes
with their religion. Still, if you read critically, you will find references to
The Law of Attraction all over the place—like in the Christian Bible. “Ask, and
you shall receive, Seek, and you shall find, Knock and it shall be opened unto
you.”
What if, out there is a
message—maybe a rule book on how to live, and we’re ignoring it?
We weren’t put here to be
sniveling little brats. We are placed here to be strong creators.
“Create your own reality?” You
say. “What have you been smoking?” “That’s a bunch of hooey.” But, look at it this way, you can grumble and
complain about your lot in life, and being a naysayer is so much fun, isn’t it?
Yeah, right. How does it make you feel?
It feels crummy, doesn’t it?
It’s rather like taking the
high road or the low road. People like to grumble and complain while traveling
the low road, all the while proclaiming that they want to be happy.
It doesn’t work, does it?
Most of the time, the high road
aspects and the low road aspects don’t speak to each other. Do they have
different “vibrational frequencies”?
Maybe.
People talk about one’s
“vibration, and that is another cliche’. Someone decided that vibration was a
good way of explaining a phenomenon that has no words. It sounds odd, really,
saying we are all walking around vibrating.
Yet, I know what they are
talking about, and for want of a better word, they say we vibrate at a certain
level. It makes sense, doesn’t it, for you have known people who seem to skate
through life on a high road, and you have known people who muck up regularly,
with each day bringing a new crisis. Most of them complain a lot too.
We do speak of “vibes.” We say,
“This building has poor vibes. This person gives off bad vibes.” And we know
when there is a light heart.
We could say our intuition told
us, but we don’t know what that is either. I think the term “vibration” came
from Quantum Physics, where we could say that all matter “vibrates.” The earth,
too, has a vibration, like a tuning fork, and it is measurable.
People have struggled to
explain the unseen for millennia, and now people are trying. They know the
brain is powerful. They know we have electric, magnetic, chemical, and
spiritual aspects to our bodies. They know that consciousness is the ruling
master of the body, and many people believe it survives death. Now they are
endeavoring to put it in understandable terms. We need to be patient with them.
Dip from the Source whenever
you can. In other words, call upon your internal knowing, and ask if something
feels right. (Including what I am writing about.) The more you rely on your
intuition, the stronger it will become. It will say, Yea! You found me! Whoopi
do da!”
I’m not a newbie to The Law of
Attraction. I’ve read about it, I’ve attended seminars, and I’ve listened to
talks. I’ve been annoyed at it, riled
against it, was a believer, and a practicer. Now I’m talking about it. Maybe
I’ll get it eventually.
Now I have found a person who
is the best at explaining it. He is an ordinary guy who found that this system--and
he calls it The Law of Attraction—works. He sets up a video camera and simply
talks.
His name is Justin Perry, and
here is a link.
Thanks, Justin
