So What's Up With The Law of Attraction?

A simple explanation of how the Law of Attraction works is this: what you think about with great emotion creates a feeling in your body. That feeling is like a prayer that the universe hears and responds to by providing you with an event, a circumstance, a person, place, or thing that gives you back that feeling.

This thought combined with passionate emotion, sends an electrical signal through your central nervous system to your body, and creates the feeling that gets transmitted to the universe. Because we are energy, that feeling spreads out to the universe and acts as a magnet to draw to you the same in return. The more passionate the emotion is that is tied to the thought - the quicker the manifestation.

The universe does not distinguish between negative and positive feelings - it just responds to feeling. Your thought imbued with emotion becomes a feeling that draws to you more of what you're feeling (or focusing upon). This is the way it works. For everyone. About everything. No ifs, ands, or buts. It is law.

Like the law of gravity, the law of attraction works without you having to know all about it. What does this mean? It means that you are responsible for everything that happens to you. Some people take this to mean blame - but we're not talking about blame - how can you blame a person for not turning on the lights when they know nothing about electricity?

This is hard for most people to take. They say things like I didn't create this getting fired, or this traffic accident or this dis-ease or a lover who cheats and leaves me.

I disagree. Why? Because no-one else lives inside of you BUT you. And every thought we think, every emotion we feel, is recorded by the universe. We are eternal spiritual beings. We are made up of energy. Just like everything else.

Energy never dies, cannot be taken from, or added to, is moving in and out of form (matter, flesh, blood, stone, earth, water, wind, metal, sky, etc.), is everywhere and nowhere at once. We are made of the same material as the stars in the sky and the earth underneath our feet.

In essence, we are where heaven and earth meet. And what a meeting that can be when you're centered, awake and aware. Life becomes a true joy!

There is more to this than meets the eye, however. Because we have so many programmed thoughts and feelings from our childhood, our experiences, our family and friends, when we try to focus on something we want - we may be experiencing a self-sabotage and getting the exact opposite.
