The Law of Attraction

[Kim Falconer]

Hello Everyone,

The Law of attraction states that what you think about will ‘come about’.

Energy follows thought.

Matter is energy.

Thoughts create matter and what you ‘hold’ in your mind will persist in your life.

Synchronistic events can be examples of this link between mind and matter, inner world and outer event.

This thread introduces the notion of a connection between psyche and matter, consciousness and experience. Please feel free to question, comment or contribute ideas here.

Our thoughts create our reality. Have you ever wondered why that happy ,optomistic person seems so lucky and the pessimist so unlucky?

They create their own reality with their thoughts and attitudes.

[Kim Falconer]

Bingo!

It is so simple, yet when we add layers and layers of cultural conditioning, beliefs and experiences over the top, it can be hard, at first, to find.

There is a wonderful documentary style film called 'The Secret" which exemplifies the law of attraction from many different views--quantum physics, philosophy and thinkers from many divergent disciplines. Anyone curious about the concept of E=MC2 or simply, Energy = Matter, Energy follows Thought, might like to have a look.

Has anyone seen it?

Thoughts? (that’s not a pun!)

That looks really interesting. It is new to me, I haven't heard of it and I will definitely locate a copy. Thanks!

My husband can be quite negative...he calls it being a realist, but he cannot see how his thoughts influence his life. Unfortunately as I share his life it impacts on me, but I am trying to correct this by requesting that he refrain from making negative comments, and he is actually trying now to give things a positive spin.

[Kim Falconer]

Yes, The Secret explores the Law of Attraction in diverse ways--it's fascinating.

There is a section in the work that addresses exactly what you describe. What if we live or work with someone who is 'a realist', as you say, and they are injecting negative thoughts into our space?

They suggested that we cannot 'create' in another's reality (personally I think one reality--my own--is quite enough!) but we can deliberately create how our relationship with others will be. If you do not want to experience your husband’s negativity, they move your focus away from it (never think about how he is negative) and when you ponder your relationship, think only of the qualities that you love the most. In this way, he may still be 'realistic', if that is his choice, but he won't be doing it around you! It wont impact your life.

I had a dramatic experience of this recently. I followed the steps of focusing only on the qualities I admired or enjoyed in another (believe me, it was hard to find them but they were there!) and the next time I saw them, that was all I experienced. I was delighted to find the behaviours that upset me so deeply in the past were not evident. It was like a miracle!

I like your approach of communicating as well! You've asked him not to do it around you and that increases both your awareness and his. Once the law of attraction is understood, that comprehension become the key to life.

Perhaps you will watch The Secret together.

sA few days ago I was browsing in a bookshop, looking at cookery books actually, when I passed a shelf that had a small book falling out from behind a larger book.

You guessed it, it was The Secret!!! Of course I purchased it and have been devouring it.
I am forcing myself to take it slowly, so things sink in. When I find a book that really interests me I try to take it all in at once...I am impatient! ;D

Yes, I will watch the DVD with my husband, and yes, I will stop thinking of his negativity.

So, do you believe in fate, and do you think that little book was popping out on the shelf just for me?

[Kim Falconer]

Hi Silver,

I think that fate is actually an interaction or co-creation of our thoughts and the universe—from the Emerald Tablets: as above, so below!

I wrote a short paper on the origins of our western understanding of fate through the lens of mythology--Greek, Sumerian and biblical. It is linked to the Synchronicity Pages, here: www.falconastrology.com/pdfs/Destiny.pdf

Basically, when something is important to us, we think about it a lot. That 'thinking' (as energy) activates or has impact on the universe (as energy) and it doesn't surprise me that the book jumped out at you. We are creating our reality all the time with everything we focus our consciousness on. If we do it deliberately, books popping out at the 'right time' is only the beginning of 'what can happen.'

I look forward to hearing any comments you may have after viewing the DVD, or from the content of the book!

The thing that I have trouble with is heartache.

Not the old boy/ girl stuff, but things that I worry about, like my children. When I am in a horrible black heartache hole it is very difficult to turn my thoughts away from whatever it is I am worrying about.

I guess that is where discipline comes in...and, the more I try to turn off those thoughts the better I will get at it.

Any handy little tips, or is it just hard work?

[Kim Falconer]

My way is gratitude.

When I worry about anything, and 'catch myself' spiralling into 'heartache' or dark thoughts, I immediately think of what I am grateful for. It might be a really small thing, like my cat's purr in the morning, or the first gardenia blossom, or my son calling me up to say hi . . . anything that puts a smile on my face . . . and I focus on that, let it fill my mind, fill my heart.

In relationship, if I am experiencing aspects of the other person that I do not want to experience, I zero in on what I love about them. I focus on their strengths and see them only in that way. What happens then is that they become 'that way' around me.

I can't prevent them from having good or bad experiences in their own lives. That is up to them. But I can create how they will be in my life.

For me, it starts with gratitude!

Have you tried it?

Warm wishes, and happy New Year!

Kim

[silver]

Thanks Kim. Yes, I have tried gratitude. I think the thing is to just keep at it.

As you move forward whatever it is you are focussing on will get better, so that you will reach a stage where you cam slip a gratitude thought in and rapidly turn things around.

And of course, the more you think those thoughts the more it will come into your life.

I have started what I call my Universe Book. It is a diary that I fill with positive thoughts . Daily I write what I want my life to be...but I write it as though it has already happened. It helps to underline my visualisations.

I am writing my life...

I had a good experience the other day. Before getting up I decided to create my day. The only thing that I wanted from the day was to be happy. So that was what I asked for and visualised.

Okay, so I got up, went to work and in the afternoon I thought to myself what a great day it had been. I was so happy and every interaction I had with other people as the day unfolded was positive and happy, and I wondered what it was that made me feel that way...then I remembered early that morning in bed creating my day.

[Kim Falconer]

Silver, that is a wonderful example. Thank you!

I had a real 'ah ha' moment the other night at a restaurant that showed me exactly how MUCH our thoughts create, and dis-create our reality. I was out with a friend and we were ordering dinner-- I wanted a particular dish but I said, "I can't get that—you know I can't eat hot food!"

And then my eyes bugged out!

All my life I had been repeating that in my head (probably from the time my father told me when I was a child that the salsa was too hot and never to eat it) so of course, I couldn't handle any amount of chilli-even mild!

Realizing this in a flash, I said, "I love hot food-I eat it all the time" and I ordered a medium hot curry (something that I could not have eaten in the past with out severely burning my mouth, crying, etc) and ate it and loved it and it wasn't HOT at all it was delicious!

I have been doing the same thing with every aspect of my life--simply stating and thinking about it as I want to experience it (which may be very different from how it is) and then, bingo, I experience it that way!

I like the idea of your universe book. It sounds perfect for focusing on what you want to visualize.

Thanks for your comments!

Warm wishes,
Kim
