Developing skills in deliberate creation
Mentioning Law of Attraction at the same time the devastation of Haiti unfolds before our eyes indeed seems unnecessarily cruel, just as pointing out the link between smoking and lung cancer seems cruel when discussing the subject with a lung cancer patient who is a heavy smoker. Yet, cruel and tactless behavior does not negate the connection.
In a previous post, I suggested checking your vibrations about issues that are important to you so that you can keep your vibrations within a range that will bring more of what you want into your experience. In this post you’ll find a series of thoughts about the subject of health.
As I begin this beautiful clear cold winter day, my dominant intent is to get happy – in every way I can. Nothing is more important or more essential to my well-being than that I find fun, interesting, joyful things to think about and talk about. So today, regardless of where I am, what I’m doing or who is with me, I will focus on the things around me that please me. In other words, I’m gonna get happy – in every way I can.
In a previous post, I suggested checking your vibrations about issues that are important to you so that you can keep your vibrations within a range that will bring more of what you want into your experience. In this post you’ll find a series of thoughts about the subject of money.
Abraham, of Abraham-Hicks, says your vibration on any given subject is where you last left it. This means your vibration about money, for example, is exactly the vibration it was the last time you thought about or had feelings about money.
Look around yourself. Notice your physical surroundings; think about your relationships, your activities; think about your prosperity, your health; think about you job, your home, and family. Consider the feelings each of these subjects evokes in you. Are you joyful about any of these areas? Are you worried, fearful? Are you satisfied with any of these areas? Are there circumstances you’d like to change regarding any of these subject matters?
When I first learned about Law of Attraction I suddenly became afraid of thinking. Once you understand that your own thoughts really do have creative power, you suddenly realize that your thought processes can be like a loaded gun in the hands of an untrained marksman. Like words, thoughts cannot be unthought (or unthunk, as my brother used to say). Fortunately, thoughts don’t have the staying power of spoken words. You can change your mind about a thought and replace it with another in any instant. But practically speaking, most of us don’t have the time or the awareness available to monitor our every thought.
Many of you who’ve studied Law of Attraction are familiar with the Seth transcripts, a huge body of work by the late Jane Roberts and her husband, Robert Butts.
I’m reading a fascinating book by David Cameron Gikandi. A Happy Pocket Full of Money is full of refreshing insights and great techniques in ways to use Law of Attraction to create what we want. But what I love most about it is the way it offers effective ways to act in the world while using Law of Attraction. In other words, you learn to use Law of Attraction in a joyful way, not simply as a tool to get what you want. For example, in the chapter on goal setting, Gikandi suggests most of us suffer from a lack of goals, rather than too lofty goals. He contends we need to have an abundance of goals and to always set our goals just beyond what we are currently experiencing. The reason for this is once we achieve a goal, if we have no new goal to focus on, we shift our attention from achieving something to simply maintaining what we have. The focus on maintenance embraces all kinds of fears and “what ifs” and is not the kind of vibration we want to offer if we are trying to create better and better experiences.
Don’t ya just hate it when you’re enjoying a nice energetic rant about something, feeling full of self-righteous indignation about how you’re right about something and someone else is wrong and how they’ve done you dirty and what you’re going to do about it and so on and so forth? Ya gotta admit, bitching is fun sometimes! Abraham says it feels good sometimes because we’ve built up momentum about the rant. Well, that’s for sure. The best rants certainly have momentum. Eckhart Tolle says we enjoy this type of self-righteous bloviating because it makes our ego, the self-created illusion of the self, feel strong and real.
