Non-Duality and the Law of Attraction

I’m sure most of you know about the Law of Attraction, I’ve been studying this for well over a year now and I see examples of its existence everywhere I go. From my perspective (human) it can sprout from the most simple and trivial things such as imagining and expecting a traffic light to stay green as I pass through it or to have a thought about a friend only to find them calling or messaging me in the next instant. According to the layout of my thoughts, the Law of Attraction exists and works!

Duality is another existential theory by humans and is also a theory that works (by ‘works’ I mean there is no though that can counteract its existence). Duality means that there is an opposite to every ‘describing thing’ in this world, there is dark to light; bad to good; closed to open; down to up and so on.

The idea of Duality and it’s ironical opposite Anti-Duality sprouted from eastern religions such as Taoism or Buddhism. These religions understood that the one ‘describing thing’ can not exist without its opposite, that if you have one you must have the other for existence to ‘exist’. Example, we fight towards evil on film, in books and even in real war (the other side in war always being a ‘perceived evil’). If this evil was taken away, completely eradicated then good would also cease. We wouldn’t just have no reason to fight, we would have no reason to exist (if our side were ‘good’) at all! Therefore both must exist, proving Duality, but more importantly, proving Non-Duality.

So how does the Law of Attraction tie in with Non-Duality?

After much reflection and practice the idea came to me that as simple humans we identify and react to Duality at a conscious level, but we don’t realise we are doing it. This puts confusion about consciousness as you’re meant to be self aware of it. Perhaps it is really the subconscious making the thought, but pushing it frontside.

When we are exposed to one thing, primarily a negative experience we think about being in the other (mostly opposite) experience (the grass is always greener on the other side). Example, when it is dark, we consciously seek a way to experience light unless we are aware that we have to be in darkness (photographic dark room etc). On the other hand, it can’t always be light so we would seek darkness either by relocating, adjusting the light level or simply closing our eyes for a break, thus acting out the affirmation.

Study nature, see how each living thing works, nature knows that it can’t have everything that is positive, often, plants die so that others can live, the Acacia species is an excellent example of the need for destruction before creation can occur, the seed has a hard coated shell which needs to be exposed to fire or damage before the sprout can push through, once the seed has been damaged, the plant is free to grow.

Embrace the sickness for it will show you immense gratitude of being healthy.

Be happy that you are poor, for if you are, then you don’t need to be rich.

Experience a thing, but be prepared to let it go!
