Don’t Know How To Control The Law Of Attraction? (Part Two)
Posted on | June 22, 2009 | No Comments
In Part One, we discussed the fact that the law of attraction is always at work. But, it is up to the individual to guard his thoughts to ensure that the universe works to reward his conscious creation efforts. Unguarded thoughts or persistent negative self talk will cause the Universe to deliver more of what you do not want, or, at the very least, dilute your efforts to manifest a better life.
Let’s continue to look at additional reasons why the law of attraction may not be working for you as planned.
The Universal Laws Do Not Work Well For Pessimists
I grew up in a conservative Christian household. My parents really kept me on a short leash. For that, I am actually thankful. However, one of their favorite tactics was to convince me that God was an angry dictator sitting upon his throne ready to smite me for the slightest transgression.
It was not until I studied the law of attraction, other religious teachings and became a parent, that I really began to understand the true nature of God.
The God of the Universe is not some disciplinarian that delivers a misery and pestilence upon you if you get out of line. If you believe that, it is no wonder that you are having problems with conscious creation.
Let me tell you what I have learned about God over the past two years. Whether you believe that God is a physical being or a force of nature, He is kind and benevolent and wants you to be happy. As a Christian, I now view him as a benevolent father. Because I am now a father myself, I have a better understanding of why He created me and what he wants.
Here it is.
He created me because he wanted someone to love and receive love. He gave me a life purpose so that I could be all that I wanted to be in this life and so that He could express his nature through me.
This attitude is shared by other religious practitioners. God created man for the same reason we create children. He wanted someone to love and give love back to him.
He created us as a means for him to create, express beauty, art, music and love. When God wants to create music, he inspires the musician. When he wants to create art, he inspires the sculptor, the painter and the gardener. Do not be afraid to hope for the desires of your heart. It is God who implanted those desires within you. It is okay to want something better.
Quit approaching the Universe as if you have been caught with our hand in the cookie jar.
Instead, step forward and claim what God has already prepared for you. The reason you want it is because He created that desire within you. The Universe will bless you and reward you with the desires of your heart.
The Law Of Attraction Does Not Serve You If You Have Doubts
You cannot expect the law of attraction to really work for you if you are holding back your full commitment to your goal for fear of disappointment.
If you grew up in a conservative Christian household like I did, you heard your parents qualify their prayers with the
“If it is God’s will.”
This is really an expression of doubt.
Our parents and clergy mistakenly try to protect God’s reputation by giving Him an out. Unfortunately, in doing so, they created the very thing they feared – an unanswered prayer.
God, or the Universe, does not need you, me or anyone else to protect its reputation. God grants each of us free will. God, or the Universe, responds to our exercise of free will with the law of attraction. It is the ultimate expression of the exercise of free will.
God simply delivers what we consciously, or unconsciously, want whether it benefits us or not.
We are free to doubt and reap the fruits of our doubt. Instead of choosing to doubt, exercise your free will to
Believe
You will not need to make any excuses for God. You will not need to protect yourself from disappointment. The law of attraction will respond to your exercise of free will by rewarding your conscious creation efforts.
The Universal Law Of Attraction Requires Unwavering Belief
Disbelief is the ugly step-sister of doubt.
At least, when you express doubt, you believe it can happen but have reservations that it might not.
When you are plagued by disbelief, you not only do not believe it is possible, you unconsciously erect barriers so that your reality will remain consistent with your lack of belief.
If you are broke and living on the street, you might not believe that becoming a millionaire is possible. If you have been plagued by abusive relationships, you might not believe that you have a special someone out there. I grew up with limiting beliefs regarding money and happiness. I was taught to believe that:
- Life required “hard work”
- Money was “evil”
- Money was hard to acquire
- Rich people were selfish and evil
I did not begin to manifest the desires of my heart, with respect to money, until I released these limiting beliefs. Regardless of your goal, eliminating your own disbelief is imperative in order to consciously create the life you desire.
Go take a mental inventory of the limiting beliefs related to your goals. It is time to face them, strangle them and bury them. Once you have gathered an exhaustive list of your limiting beliefs, it is time to write down the reasons that each belief is false and/or why the goal is achievable.
For instance, if your limiting belief is that:
“Money is difficult to acquire…”
then you might write the following
“Even though I once believed that money is difficult to acquire, I know of several people that have acquired vast fortunes with little, or no, education, effort or expertise.”
Repeat this exercise for each limiting belief. Then, place these affirmations in a list and review them daily. It will take time, and lots of repetition, but you will eventually change your beliefs as you begin to look for, and see, that your limiting beliefs were false all along.
Conscious Creation Sometimes Requires That You Ignore “Reality”
If your day to day actions, thoughts, observations and emotions differ from your visualizations, affirmations and dreams, the law of attraction is going to respond to the most powerful emotions.
For instance, you cannot manifest financial prosperity if you are constantly worrying about your credit card debt. The law of attraction will give you more credit card debt because your emotions are attached to that reality. You are either prosperous, or not. If are trying to consciously create health, but you focus on the fact that you are overweight, you are going to retain the weight. You are either getting healthy or staying fat.
Fake it until you make it.
Whatever you might think about Hugh Hefner, his success is a perfect example of the fake it until you make it technique. Hugh Hefner was generally dissatisfied with his life when he decided to start Playboy. As part of the effort, Hefner changed his image and persona to reflect the successful playboy that he wished to become. It worked. Playboy was a monumental success and Hefner owes his fame and fortune to his conscious decision to become his dream.
You have to let go of your reality, even if you have to pretend that the roadblocks to your success exist. It will be challenging at first, if you repeatedly keep turning your attention to feelings of wellness, abundance, and joy, (instead of lack, struggle, and illness) you will shift your focus and change your reality to match it.
In Part Three of this series, we will complete our discussion as to how common mistakes serve to sabotage your conscious creation efforts.
