All life on Earth operates according to Universal Laws. Many of us are familiar with The Law of Attraction - you may have even read a few books on the subject or paid out good money for a course that promises you everything but, ultimately, ends up delivering little more than a feeling of optimism and excitement for a few weeks until you realise that little else in your life has changed; at which point, your ‘belief’ takes a nose dive into skepticism and, seeing as ‘belief’ is a basic requirement for getting The Law of Attraction to work with you instead of against you - yes, it works both ways, believe me, I’ve experienced how low it can take you if you have little to no idea what is generating your problems in the first place - your chances of harnessing it to your advantage are pretty, darn slim.
Having said that, it is still, entirely, possible to get The Law of Attraction working for you completely by accident! Yes! By accident! In fact, the reason why I, myself, had no problem, whatsoever, in ‘buying in’ to this Universal Law when I first read about it was because of my own experiences of using it - very effectively - to both create some astonishingly ‘lucky’ outcomes for a number of years only to then, quite literally, see everything that I had achieved come toppling down like a row of dominoes without even knowing the first thing about it - sure, I’d heard the name mentioned a couple of times but I had never bothered to read a single word written about what it was - why would I? I was too busy deciding what I wanted to do, next, then doing it!
Quite literally, the first time I read about the Law of Attraction, I had no doubts around its existence, at all. On a very primal level, I just stumbled across something in a book and thought, “F**k me! This is exactly what I did!” Some of the ‘concepts’ around it, which may appear confusing or easy to misinterpret for those ‘studying’ it, made perfect sense to me because, by sheer blundering, uneducated incompetence, I had somehow developed the kind of mind that just ‘did this kind of sh*t’, almost by default.
My only problem, back then, was that the first time I actually read about it and realised what had happened in my own life, also, happened to coincide with a period of time in my life where my mind was in a very dark place! Imagine my dilemma! I know this stuff is real but I also know that, in my current state of mind, things are only going to go even further downhill from this point on … YIKES!
Needless to say, I did find a way to navigate myself around that particular problem or I wouldn’t be sat here writing this - or doing anything else, for that matter -, right now … but that’s another story for another time.
So, “How does this relate to ME and how can it help ME?”, I hear you say. Well, stick around and you might just learn a thing or two.
Now, it is going to be impossible for me to give you everything in one sitting - there’s just too much of it, for a start - but what I can do in this short burst is give you the first piece of the jigsaw puzzle; the missing piece that you, probably, had no idea you didn’t have, even if you’ve already read any of the numerous books on the subject because those books never tell you this - at least, I’ve never come across one that does.
Call this ‘missing piece’ the prequel to the Law of Attraction, if you will…
Still here?
Good.
Let’s dig into it, then, shall we?
The first thing you have to understand is that the Law of Attraction is but one of many Universal Laws and non of these laws acts, autonomously; they intertwine with one another and, quite often, the reason why you can’t seem to get one of them to work is because you haven’t addressed one of the other laws that supersedes it.
You see, these laws can all be better understood if you look at them as either being a PRIMARY LAW or a SECONDARY LAW; the secondary law cannot be brought into action without the primary law occurring prior to it.
Let’s take The Law of Gravity: is it a primary law or a secondary law?
Well, if you are familiar with the old, ‘What goes up, must come down’ theory, you’ll be able to see that gravity is, indeed, a secondary law, right? In short, unless an object is first propelled into the air, gravity won’t bring it back down to Earth, got it?
So, what do we need to have in place before we can start to utilise The Law of Attraction?
Well, closely associated with the mythical LOA is the another famous double act: EFFORT AND REWARD. Unfortunately, if you are approaching the LOA based, solely, on putting all of your focus on your ‘effort’ in order to receive your ‘reward’, you are just going to get very tired, very quickly and, most likely, burn yourself out in the process.
The books tell you it’s easier than that, right? Also, if your effort was the sole provider of your rewards, many of us would be leading very different lifestyles by now, wouldn’t we?
Well, it is easier, but only if you view easier as meaning you can achieve something with far less physical labour - you still need to do stuff in order to make things happen.
So, before EFFORT AND REWARD can be of any real use to us, we need to have a few more things working in our favour, beforehand.
Enter the LAWS OF CONFORMITY AND RESONANCE - these might be a couple of things you skipped over in your haste to get the LOA doing it’s thing. Let’s break it down…
The Laws of Conformity and Resonance relate to your environment and, subsequently, your thoughts, emotions and behaviours. For example, if you are surrounded by people who harbour certain beliefs, share certain emotions and display certain behaviour patterns, there’s a good chance that these things will rub off on you, as well and even those of us who, somehow, manage to ’rise above’ such environmental restraints are, more often than not, doing so by sheer will power, alone.
Let me tell you something, here: ENVIRONMENT BEATS WILL, EVERY TIME! - tattoo that on your eyelids, people. I could hang of the edge of a cliff by my fingertips but, come back the next day, I’m not there, anymore!
Next, we come to something that gets us very close to being able to get the LOA, actually, working: THE LAWS OF RESONANCE AND PROXIMITY: as stated in The Law of Attraction, you attract the people, situations and opportunities into your life that vibrate on the same level.
In simple terms:
CONFORMITY AND RESONANCE: you are more likely to conform to the beliefs and emotional nature of the people in your current environment, be affected by similar situations and resonate on a similar wavelength; will power can help but it is not sustainable.
RESONANCE AND PROXIMITY: unless you are able to extract yourself from your current environment, you will continue to resonate on that same wavelength. Resonating on that same wavelength will only attract the same kind of people, situations and opportunities ( or lack there of ) as you have always attracted; it is, therefore, imperative that you change your environment if you wish to change the vibration at which you are resonating at and attract something else.
EFFORT AND REWARD: once, and only once, you have dealt with the aforementioned problems can you hope to make any effort you put in reap anything other than mediocre rewards.
Like I said, we are still just scratching the surface, here, but I hope this short post as, at least, got you thinking going in the right direction.
More later…
Much love and stay extraordinary ❤️
