A Path to Freedom

The Law of Attraction, at first blush, is a brilliant and simple way to understand how our thoughts and feelings influence our life experience. It explains why we feel doubt, worry, anxiety and fear (this is our Higher Self letting us know that we are holding a thought or belief that is not in harmony with our true identity as co-Creators with Source Energy) and how the internal guidance system that we all have from birth, functions. The most integral part of "asking" is to recognize the feeling essence which we are offering to Source ~ if our thoughts are on abundance but we feel doubt or worry or fear, the essence of our "asking" is lack. So we want to use our thoughts to get to a place where we feel better, even if the thoughts have nothing to do with the subject matter at hand. Once we feel better ~ peaceful within the body, mind and spirit ~ then we can offer our essence from a higher vibration and let it go. "This or something better . . ."

On a deeper level, the Law of Attraction is about self-discovery. This simple formula is a path to ultimate freedom ~ freedom from the old and done conditioning, and into the "new" way of understanding our true identity and our true purpose for being here on the Earth plane. Or more accurately, a path back to the true remembering of who we really are.

Ultimately, our Higher Self is trying to get us to pay attention so that the path to remembering Who We Really Are becomes clear. Higher Self will use whatever area of life is likely to get your attention ~ finances, relationships, health, etc. ~ for the purpose of awakening and right action.

As we know ourselves where we are now, and ask for assistance to know who we really are, and release that which has served us in the past but doesn't serve us now, we access higher and higher levels of Consciousness, ultimately raising our vibration, freeing ourselves from lack and limiting thoughts and feelings, and knowing that all is well, no matter what is going on around us.

We desire because we believe we will feel better when we have "it." So, it's not the *thing* we want, it's the feeling that we believe we will experience when we are in possession of the thing (or condition, or relationship, or circumstance). It's the feeling that we want! And we can have those feelings any time ~ not just when things are in place ~ by using our thoughts to access our feelings. We want to feel good! Because when we feel good (happy, loved, safe, secure, vital, whole, healthy, strong, nurtured, supported, powerful, abundant ~ fill in the "feeling" here), we are in a natural state of allowing all that is ours by Divine right to flow into our experience. When we feel good, we are in a state of non-interference, of not resisting. Resistance arises when our doubts and beliefs about how deserving we are, how important we are to this process, how powerful we truly are, influence our thinking. "You can't be/do/have that, who do you think you are? This is the way you are and nothing will ever change. You can't go against your family/church/school/government's teachings/guidance ~ it's dangerous out there! It's safe here with what you've been taught. Don't go 'out there' ~ what makes you think you're so special? We weren't put here to be happy. Life sucks and then you die."

Sound familiar? The Law of Attraction is a gateway, a path to a deeper knowing of Consciousness. It's a path to true freedom, and the self-knowledge and divine affirmation we pick up along the way serves us in this lifetime, and in all lifetimes.

Will you walk it?

The Law of Attraction is Always Working In Your Life

We have all heard, "What you put out, comes back," "What goes around, comes around," "Like attracts like." More importantly, we have all experienced this concept in one way or another.

This is the Law of Attraction. This is how Life works. And you can study the Law and use it deliberately to craft a life for yourself filled with peace, joy and happiness. You don't need any special equipment, secret passwords, or user's manual to utilize the Law of Attraction now. Everything that is required, is already inside you now. It's been there since the day you were born and it will be with you when you leave this world.

Your job, the primary purpose of your life, is to feel happy and peaceful ~ that is what it is like to experience God or whatever term for the Creator feels most comfortable to you. When you are happy and peaceful, and know Who You Really Are, every thing flows ~ there is no struggle, no anxiety, and well-being, peace and anticipation are your dominant emotions. Your job is to experience peace and happiness as much as you are able in each moment. The Law of Attraction shows you how to do that.

The Law of Attraction

1. Ask ~ Identify the desire (our job).

As we experience life, we encounter opportunities to identify our preferences in different areas of our life, like finances, health, relationships, work and home. Whether we are dealing with a bodily or health condition, life circumstances, the nature of interactions with others, or whatever situation comes our way ~ our reaction and our subsequent focus on the situation give rise to a feeling in the body, expressed through the heart. This sets up a vibration emitted through the heart, which acts as a transmission, if you will, conveying to the Creator that we desire an improved life experience. We experience life through alignment (we judge* the situation or circumstance to be happy, satisfying or uplifting) or through contrast (we judge* the situation or circumstance to be depressing, unhappy or unpleasant). We identify our reaction through our thoughts and words ("I love meeting new people!") and emotions (joy, happiness, excitement), and when we merge thoughts and emotions together through the heart to create a genuine heart-based feeling, through that feeling we are speaking the language of the Creator. The Creator, the Universe, the Field 'reads' the essence of our feelings ~ that is the language of Divine Intelligence, this is how we commune with Creation, this is a prayer. The feeling is the prayer.

*Esoterically speaking, there is no good or bad, "it is what it is," but each of us individually judges what is good and bad from our unique perspective. A topic for discussion for another day . . .

2. Answer ~ The answer is always "Yes!" (not our job). Always. No exceptions.

What we focus on ("Identify the desire"), we draw into our Life experience. The response is always "Yes!" Because we live in an inclusion-based Universe, whatever we are focusing on, and therefore identifying ~ through joyful anticipation or fearful worry or angry resentment ~ the Universe says, "Coming right up!" To the eternal Universe, there is no judgment of our choices ~ we have FREE WILL to choose through our focus, either on abundance (alignment / love / life-affirming) or lack (contrast / fear / life-denying). It says, "You are an eternal, Divine Being and if you desire poverty, isolation, powerlessness and chaos so that you can continue to learn and grow and expand your Consciousness, so be it! Enjoy, my beloved one." But the underlying discomfort that we feel when we experience worry, anger or resentment is there to let us know that we are currently identifying a life experience that is not congruent with our true identities as Divine Eternal Beings. That uncomfortable feeling in the pit of our stomach is our Higher Self, our Inner Being, making us aware and saying, "You are offering a thought, feeling and / or emotion that is not in harmony with Who You Really Are. Would you like to choose again?"

This is how life works, and once we are willing to at least consider this, if not embrace it, we can then begin to empower ourselves and re-member Who We Really Are.

So when you realize you are looking at something you do not want, turn it around to identify what it is you do want, focus on that, and get into the feeling experience** of having that condition, relationship or item in your life, and it will manifest into your physical experience.

**For this, we use our imagination, experiencing with our mind the desired circumstance as though it is already come to pass ~ we use our 5 physical senses to 'paint in virtual space' the multi-dimensional picture that we are wanting to experience now. Again, another topic for another day . . .

3. Allow ~ Allow that desire to manifest into Life experience (our job).

Once we have identified the desire, then it is our job to allow it to manifest. When we are in an open state ~ free from worry, resistance, concern or any other 'negative' emotion ~ we can receive all the beautiful things life has to offer freely ~ we are "in the flow." In an open state, we are much more likely to realize our desires, often very quickly. But what does that mean, "a truly open state?" Here is where the deep self-inquiry is valuable.

Understand that the reason that you want or desire something is because you believe you will feel better having it than you feel without it. When you comprehend that at the deepest level what you truly desire is the feeling that the "thing" brings you, and that you can create that feeling in your body with your thoughts and emotions any time you decide to ~ then you are free, and as a consequence, that which you desire can now come to you. And it will come quickly, because you have released your resistance.

Will you honor yourself with that gift?
