Beyond The Law of Attraction – The Other Laws

Since “The Secret” came out people think that the Law of Attraction is “it” – the only way to make things happen in your life.

Well, that’s just not true. There are many Universal (or Spiritual) Laws.

Today we’ll talk about The Law of Consciousness – part 1.
Law of Consciousness, the first Law we study. It gives you the ideas, knowledge and understanding to help you determine what your life is all about.

As you look back on your life, you can see how the Law of Consciousness plays a part. It helped make things happen that you did not wish to happen, as well as the unexpected, wonderful surprises that occurred.

you have accept that, from the time of the embryo, we hear. Scientific research has explained that, within the soul and brain of the infant, is consciousness. They hear even while in the womb.

It doesn’t start at birth. It begins even before that. From before birth onward, the things you heard, thought and felt created a pattern within you. This includes everything you had explained to you, even from television and radio.

Everything you have heard, thought, felt or read or anything from your senses makes an impact on the subconscious. Your subconscious simply plays back like a computer what you or someone else has put into it.

Maybe you heard as an infant that you look just like a parent. When you grew to be 10 to 15 years old, you discovered that parent had some problems, attitudes, feelings or habits you didn’t want in your life. If it was ingrained in you from birth that you were just like that parent, then you have problems with the same things your parent did.

It’s very easy to remove yourself from these problems when you realize and recognize what they are. Recognition is the greatest key to change.

We have four major areas to master:

1. Our physical body. We have to master health and harmony in our bodies.

2. Relationships. We have to learn to harmonize and be at peace.

3. Money. We have to master our financial assets.

4. Soul awareness. Our soul awareness constantly brings us new information, wisdom and understanding of the activities and the work we came here to do.

We are constantly attracting and manifesting results according to our beliefs. During our earth learning process, we have two ways to master physical results. Both are necessary as we develop toward our total soul potential.

1. Attraction. We attract to us what we are.

2. Manifestation. We mold things from the invisible substance to the visible.

This is where we sometimes become confused. We say we will attract something into our lives. What we really mean is that we want to manifest it. Sometimes we say we will manifest it when we mean we will attract it.

Both are necessary. We want to attract people and situations into our lives. We want to attract results. We also want to manifest a great financial supply and ideas of wisdom and understanding. We want to manifest the ideas and inspiration that allow us the newness and excitement of life.

The Law of Consciousness is the first and most important. We develop, ask and interpret things that we already believe in. We realize there are many we don’t choose to hold onto in our lives. There are many things we believe that we don’t want to believe. There are many things that are in error.

Belief systems are brought into our lives by many different methods. We have what our parents, ministers and teachers have told us. Other people gave us what they believed to be fact and truth.

Facts change according to new understandings and new knowledge. They change according to the power and presence we give these ideas within us.

We have the old ideas and thoughts of diseases that people are supposed to have throughout their lives. There are a certain percentage of people who are supposed to have colds or the flu.

These negative aspects do not have to apply to us. They were given to us at a time when our soul did not know that we were able to evaluate those things and bring them to a different solution for ourselves.

In the Law of Consciousness, we want to look at these attitudes and ideals that no longer apply to us. Find a pencil and paper.

I’d like you to do a discovery. The Law of Consciousness will help you discover what your beliefs are. This is the most important Law in your life.

Many things were given to you at a time when you were not able to discern truth from fiction, fact from fiction or absolute from non-absolute. Today you see with a different viewpoint that puts you in charge of your life. This energy we call “God” can change and transform everything you choose to transform in your life.

With your pencil and paper, I want you to begin a list. We take on the qualities of the people around us. List your relatives, beginning with your parents. Then list your parents’ prominent qualities. If you were raised by someone other than your parents, use their names.

If your mother’s prominent quality was gentleness, put it down. If your father’s prominent quality was generosity, put it down. It is important in how you perceive your own life to be. If your parents’ dominant qualities were abusive, angry or hostile, write those down.

You’ll show yourself how you relate to your parents and children. Your parents’, grandparents’, great-grandparents’ and great-great grandparents’ belief systems, fears, anxieties and religions have all been passed down to you. Even what you like to eat comes from them. Everything comes from what you were born into.

If you’re still having the same experiences you had as a child or are still surrounded by the same kinds of people, those lessons haven’t been learned yet. That is the importance of the Law of Consciousness.

After you list your parents, think of your grandparents, if you knew them well. What were their qualities? Were they the same as your parents? Did you have a grandparent who was angry or hostile or didn’t like to have children around? Were your grandparents loving, kind and happy? Were they wonderful? Did you prefer to be with them? Next list your aunts’, uncles’ and siblings’ qualities.

Find the pattern. If you have 10 people in your life who are very unproductive, what are your chances for success? If you have many relatives who are go-getters, movers and shakers, what is your chance of being successful? Look at both sides, the productive and the unproductive.

Now look at your school friends growing up. What were their qualities? As you grew older, there were things like jealousy and boyfriends or girlfriends. What did you attract in that time and place? Did you attract relatives, friends and schoolmates who were happy, harmonious, loving and kind?

Did you attract angry people? If you’ve had abusive people in your life, are you attracting more abusive people in spite of having said to yourself, “I never again want anybody in my life who treats me this way.”?

When you study the Law of Consciousness, look back on your life to see why you attracted people and situations for your learning experiences. You have to handle them properly so you don’t need to have that experience again.

Once you have listed your relatives’, parents’ and friends’ prominent qualities, you have a pattern of positive and/or negative. Usually you will have both. You’ll have the very positive people who told you as a child, “You can do anything you choose to do. You have to believe in yourself.” You’ll also have people who said, “You’re too little. You can’t do that. You’re not strong enough. You’re too weak. You’re not healthy enough.”

Those things may have been said to you at a time when you were very much open to other people’s opinions. They’ve made your life what it is today.

Think of the quotes you heard. They gave you your ideas of lack and limitations. They told you what you think about money, relationships and the physical body. All of the things you’ve ever been told are important.

A teacher can influence us so strongly in the first and second grade. That is the time we’re open to any authority. Once you discover the ideas you have, especially the negative, you can say, “Which authority person told me I couldn’t, or I was too little? How important a part did that authority person play in my life? Was it someone I knew just a little or someone I was with everyday?”

There’s much, much more….so keep tuning in…,

Easter

Happy Easter everyone.

I thought I would put up an excerpt from Anne’s discussion on The Law of Forgiveness when we did Working With The Law. It’s very meaningful to me and hopefully will help you too.

“Easter and Forgiveness. I believe when Jesus said on the Cross, “Father forgive them, they know not what they do,” that at that moment he was in a high state of exultation. He realized he had created what these people were doing.

He expected to be killed in order to be remembered. That was his job. That is what he came here for. He also didn’t want the people who were jabbing him with the spear and placing the crown of thorns on his head to get a karmic feedback.

What he meant was, “Father, I created this for myself so that this situation would come to pass. Let go of what they are doing. Don’t make it a karmic debt so they don’t have to pay again for what I created.”

Think of the people the people you thought hurt you and what you carried around with you for so long. You need to say, “God, I set that up. I did it. I was fearful, so I created this situation. I expected pain and suffering so I created somebody to bring it to me. How could I do that to myself?” We had some mistakes in our thought processes. We thought that was normal.

It’s not normal to cause hurt to yourself or to others. It is not normal to cause suffering either to yourself or others.

I believe the ultimate goal is learning how to try to out give God. We need to be kind to people. We need to be happy and loving. We need to have good relationships. We can have all of the things we have been searching for and maybe thought were impossible. They’re not impossible.

We need to practice what we want to be in order to become what we want to be. We need to let go of the pain we set up for ourselves to get rid of fears and anxieties of what people might do to us. If we don’t expect it, it can’t be done.

Our understanding is in the process of changing. We don’t have anger, hostility and fear in our lives. We don’t have to explain to other people how they need to behave.

We set boundaries for people who don’t know or have fears or don’t expect people to be kind. We set boundaries so that we stop any of those fears. We don’t want to let those fears attach themselves to us. That is our responsibility.

We do that by saying, “I do not choose to have that in my life. I do not choose to react out of the past. I do not choose to experience hurt feelings, pain or suffering. Therefore I will not attract people in my life who think it is okay to hurt others.”

This is a whole new step for us to be able to live in this kind of life without blame, guilt, fears or anxieties. We want to live a life without thoughts that we need to repent or give up and let go and forgive.”

Laws

People who say that the Law of Attraction doesn’t work for them just don’t understand what a Law is.

This could be because we are so used to stretching or even breaking “human laws”.  I laugh every time I watch the movie Starman – this man from another world (there’s more to it than that but that will do for now) is learning to drive by watching the woman he kidnapped. So later he is driving and the woman gets upset because he was speeding up and going way too fast. She asked what he was doing and that that wasn’t how he was supposed to be doing it. He replied and said yes it was and that he watched her – “Green light – go through. Red light – stop. Yellow light – GO FASTER”. Isn’t that what we do? We see if we can “beat” the law but stay “sort of” within it.

So we don’t totally respect our own human laws. And that attitude and behavior carries over to the real laws. We think we don’t have to pay strict attention to them at all times. That’s often why the Law of Attraction “doesn’t work”.

It ALWAYS works but we don’t work with it ALL the time which is what we have to do.

Take the Law of  Gravity for example. It works no matter what. You can play with fire and test it all you want but it will win out.  You can pray and wish and hope that the $50,000 vase you dropped won’t break when it hits the floor but it probably will (that too is dependent on other laws of physics). But it WILL hit the floor and at a certain time (not necessarily giving you enough time to catch it). You can be angry that it broke but that won’t change the fact that the Law of Gravity and other laws of physics were operating.

When you’re trying to work with the Law of Attraction you have to realize that it’s in action and operating at every moment. You can’t say denials and affirmations for 3 minutes a day and then go and gossip and tell rumors and say negative things all day long and then expect to get what you were working toward. We see this all the time. Remember Anne’s story about how she’d say affirmations and meditate in the morning and then have  neighbors over for coffee and they’d sit and gossip for an hour or two. She realized then that she had to spend 2 hours negating what had just happened. This went on until she put a stop to the morning coffee.

Take a look at your life and see what you do, say and think all day long and then re-evaluate whether the Law of Attraction “works” for you or not. Most likely you are attracting what you don’t want to attract but it IS you who’s creating it.

Believe me it works!  Check out “The Art of Making Things Happen” if you want a home study course on how to make your life what you want it to be.

Don’t Doubt The Universe

I learned a very important lesson this morning. I’ve started swimming again (yeah!) and have been using Anne’s famous affirmation (adopted to swimming) “There is always a swimming lane available for me”. Now I’ve only been using this for about a week so I thought “well I hope this has had time to take efffect” as I drove to the gym a bit later than I wanted this a.m.

As I walked through the pool area to the locker room, my heart sunk. All the lanes were full. “Nuts, I guess my affirmation didn’t work” I thought as I continued to go change anyway.

When I walked back out to the pool area, you cannot even imagine my surprise  when I found that not only was there now an open lane but it was also the one I wanted! How cool is that?

The reason I had specified the lane was because I knew at 8:30 they had water aerobics and they made people move from the first few lanes and this a.m. I had said “I will have the far lane” as I drove there (actually I started when I was still in bed). And that’s the one that got freed up while I was simply taking off my shorts and sweatshirt.

Don’t ever doubt or second guess the Universe!

Once you have decided what you want and put it out there, it is yours as long as you keep your faith on the straight and narrow path and do not deviate!

Enjoy your day. I know I’m ecstatic that our new site is working!

You Can’t Beat Spiritual Law

The Law is that what you give out comes back to you multiplied.

Then the way to success of any kind, is to begin giving out what you want to have come back. If you have no money, find something else to give. Money is the mere symbol of service, and you can always give service of some kind.

Give something knowing that God is your paymaster and that He is the best of all paymasters. He will begin paying you when you begin working exclusively for Him. God always gives signs of approval. God will give because its is His nature to give. He, too, conforms to the law, because He is the Law. Remember that we are working with real law all the time. If you obey the law of giving, you cannot help but receiving.

Learn by heart what Jesus says: “Give, and it shall be given uno you.”
Repeat it, and repeat it, and believe it.

Trust. Believe that the law is going to work. It is; because when we are really willing to do our share, the law, never fails to work.

Let us apply the principle. If you want a job, begin giving service somewhere along that line. God will direct your paths. If you do not know what vocation you should be in, give your services along any line, and your particular line will open to you.

“Whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.” So you will find everything that your heart desires: health, money, friends, success, the development of your tal-ents, home, prosperity, love, happiness. For God, is Law. He gives, gives lavishly, patiently, joyously. Imitate God.

All that you give out brings its return. These are your planting: deeds, money, words, thoughts-everything. You can’t beat Spiritual Law.
