Thanks to Rhonda Byrne of "The Secret" fame, Law of attraction has been talked about quite a bit in the recent decade. So many books, guides, gurus, coaches, mentors and courses have cropped up on the same. One's gotta think, something must be there. Where there is smoke, there must be fire. I have come across several who challenge it passionately too. Especially those of us who have grown up following eastern philosophy & religious beliefs where 'Desires bring suffering & Satisfaction brings happiness', has been mantra since birth. Our age old scriptures have been saying so forever and now its all धूल समान, like dust?! Who is this person challenging the basics? But dear friends, there is much more to it than meets the eye.
Universe does not judge. Nature, Creation does not judge. It only provides. It provides what you ask for. परोपकरार्थमिदम् शरीरं ! But it understands only the language of your subconscious. It understands your feelings and brings you more of that. It's almost like a baby. A mom-dad pleaser. A servant. It thinks, oh, it looks like my master (you) likes to delve in these feelings, thoughts, beliefs and actions. Hmm, let me bring more of those for my master. It's like saying तथास्तु, 'so be it'. The catch is that even you are expected to have similar feelings of 'giving'! Or at least the feelings of 'having' it already! That philosophy isnt in any contradiction with LoA.
When desire ends, dreams begin. When dreams begin, creativity thrives.
Once the creativity thrives..you create what you dream! What is the
difference between desire and dream, you ask? Answer is innocence. Dreams innocently run 'in present'!! It's not a lie that you are living! You are just innocently dreaming it!. In 'the moment'. You 'live your dream', just blissfully ignorant and still enjoying what you have in it
when you dream... On the other hand, desires are 'future possibilities'.
They smell of 'lack' in the present moment. When you desire for something in the future, what you are subconscious saying to that serving universe is that I feel I 'don't have it', in the present moment!!.What you subconsciously feel about it in the 'present moment' is what you will attract! You will attract 'lack'!! Well, even western philosophy and religion seems to support that and teaches to 'give'.
What eastern philosophy preaches about 'satisfaction' is actually in order to bring abundance! And in fact many scriptures and 'gurus' have actually mentioned about 'thoughts attracting like thoughts and outcomes'!. When you are satisfied and grateful for what you have, you attract more aspects to be satisfied and grateful about! Why else do you think all 'blessings' for eons have been 'खुश रहो', be happy..? Remember, the universe does not judge! It is we have been taught to 'judge' everything as 'good' or 'bad', positive or negative, naughty or nice, right from our childhood. Probably for good reasons! But in spirit world, in the pursuit of spiritual abundance, those differentiations are only emotional burdens. Transcending such emotions and being poised evenly (सुःख दुःख समकृत्वा लाभा लाभौ जयाजयौ) will allow the non-judgemental dream emerge in the present moment where pure, unadulterated joy pervades that attracts all the right aspects of life's purpose. The purpose we forget as we grow up being programmed every minute of our lives with judgements. Each of us are born with a gift, the objective of life is to find that gift and the purpose of life is to give that gift away, share it with the rest of the nature, humanity, everyone! That is what brings joy and unlimited abundance!!! That is law of nature. Law of attraction is just one part, one 'side effect'!
First 'aha' is - If you notice, your feelings are always in the present, here and now. While your thoughts could be about past or future. Eastern philosophy preaches that living in the present is the most powerful thing. What you think in the present you become. The root of the perceived contradiction resides in the feeling that we associate to visualization/ manifesting process in the present moment. Associate it to satisfaction and joy (i.e. feel that you already have it), you manifest. If you associate it to desires and need (i.e. dont have it, want it), you wont!! The secret behind the secret is embedded in the teachings of eastern philosophy already! Most of us have confused the execution of law of attraction with 'desires'. In fact that is the number one reason it fails for those of us. If you want to attract the things you wish for, you have to think of those in the 'present moment!...kinda like a 'dream' that you already have it, living it, feeling it. Not 'desire' it for some time in future!!
Love, Wish you all unlimited abundance,
Lightworker.
