Thoughts become things, but which one to choose?

OK, so by now you either have heard about the Law of Attraction and forgot about it for the next exciting thought or the idea sparked your interest and you have pursued it. For the former you should at least remember the basics.

The general theory behind the law of attraction is that when you give focus to a particular thought your brain and/or body emanates a frequency that is in line with the thought. This frequency attracts likeminded people and events into you experience.

The challenge that that any modern person faces is the lack of focus, our working lives are continually revised for efficiency and money saving, selective jobs are cut and the remainder are required to multitask and spread their focus. As a result of this lifestyle, our ability to consciously manifest our desires has been limited as we have created a habit to ignore focus or specialised abilities. To really experience a desire one must pay great attention to it, be open and active towards opportunities that happen during the path of this desire.

So how do you reverse the conditioning to manifest your desires and still become an effective member of the workplace? It’s not that easy and requires a constant focus of its own. First you have to create a habit of focus, for an employee this a great challenge and also a great opportunity to learn.

Creating the habit of focus.

The trick is to “unitask” and allocate blocks of time between each item of focus, these tasks may have people attached to them and those people are expecting those tasks to be done NOW so they in turn can get their tasks for someone else that requested them NOW and so on. Be firm with these people, for if you let them push you then you end up spreading your focus and attention, leaving you without your desires. To get rid of these people tis best to be radically honest about your objectives and goals and why exactly you are doing this task for them, say how this benefits you, a lot of people seriously don’t understand why they are working for an employer but yet if those same people were to have a business or contract themselves out the picture becomes clear because they are aware of the goal. Here is an example of what you could say in a typical office environment.

“Tom, I have five tasks to work on today, yours is third in the list. The more I have to stop and talk the longer it is going to take”

Obviously you have to be diplomatic about it and if you continue to act in a rational way with these sorts of replies then people will know that it isn’t personal, don’t say sorry, are you really sorry about it? It’s important to let people know your intentions, you’re doing this for the benefit of the company or the team, the better you can focus on each task the less stressed you will be and therefore the less stress you are projecting to your nearby colleagues.

Using the habit.

1. What. Once you have the habit focus its time to apply it to your desires, think of what you really want, not a medium (money) but the end result e.g. A beautiful garden, a great body, that perfect wave, a great home etc.

2. Why. Although this point may not sound relevant it certainly is as it will allow you to focus on what you want for a longer period of time, instead of thinking everyone wants that think of why you want it, is it something you believe will bring you confidence or perhaps quality of life? E.g. I want a great home because it makes me feel comfortable and I want to feel proud of my surroundings.

3. How. The how is easier than a lot of people think, when you give pure focus towards a thing then opportunities arise, it makes perfect sense. No, this hurdle depends entirely on fear, can you ultimately get over the fear of spending money or the fear of being embarrassed? Really this fear is about loss, the best way to deal with feared loss is to think about what you would do if that loss actually happened, don’t focus on the loss itself but on your recovery from the loss, your rise from the ashes. Where’s the fear now huh?

Focus on the desire, focus on the potential!

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!

Law of Attraction Simplified

After constant-every-day thought I finally decided what the best approach to the law of attraction is and I’d like to share it.

The idea of the law is excellent, and it does work, but you have to work also, and work quite hard that is (note: understand that the work doesn’t necessitate the gaining of the object of desire, the work is the remembering how to do it). The good thing is that after a while (taken about a year for me) you condition your mind to notice the things that happen that are a result of what you have thought. My mind has been focused on a lot of smaller things lately and those smaller things have happened (or come to me), this increases my already happy state and just proves what I started to learn (remember) in the first place.

It seems that I’m feeling quite content in allowing the smaller things to come to me instead of concentrating on the larger ones, hey, if life (at lower levels) really is the pursuit of happiness I’m already there.

Learn. Find as much literature as you can, read and understand it. Not only will you discover the science behind it but reading such stuff will create positivity in your life if nothing else, this positivity is a building block for you to experience what you have already known (but not to your consciousness yet).

Here is a short list.

· Ask and it is Given – Esther and Jerry Hicks

· Science of Getting Rich – Wallace D. Wattles

· Thought Vibration or the Law of Attraction in the Thought World – William Walker Atkinson

· The Power of Positive Thinking – Norman Vincent Peale

· The Secret – Rhonda Byrne

Do a heap of research online, you will find plenty of material to download and read.

Simplify Your Life. When you stop complicating things you will find it a lot easier to focus and affirmate on what you want, the more you read into things the more clutter your mind will be trying to manage.

Stop it, now.

Are you able to remember the good feeling you get from moving or throwing away a heap of old useless junk? Stop being a packrat and live to your means. If you will not use it in the next 6-12 months, throw it away. Be grateful for what you have and remember, to keep your body (and thus your mind) alive the most basic need is air, food and water. Realise this and build up from it, when you do so you should feel immense happiness and gratitude for what you have and what you have around you.

Allow. Let the object come to you, let the universe bring it to you, relax and allow what is coming to you. Don’t pull the object or rush to obtain it, just let it happen. The idea of this, is simply a confidence builder for your conscious mind, confidence and happiness being a high allowing state. Imagine your mind saying “Hey, nice one, this is already on its way to me”. Do you get the idea?
