Law of Attraction: The Stalemate to Manifestation


Another word for stalemate is deadlock. When you feel your ability to manifest or use the Law of Attraction hits a wall, “this” is the reason.

First a brief introduction, reminder, or new perspective (Yes, there are still those this is new to):

There’s only One “substance,” One Law, One Cause, and many Effects. Any conflict or “lack” in our lives is the result of how we use this Truth . . . but there is a key point.

The Law of Attraction states that the emotionally-charged thoughts we hold (emphasis on the word “hold”) directs what manifests for us. There’s a blend of mysticism and science called quantum mechanics. Both say the same thing: there’s a field of energy in existence that congeals thought forms into real experiences.

This field is like soil. Soil performs according to certain laws. When we plant a seed or seedling into it, it doesn’t refuse to grow what we plant. It doesn’t judge the person who planted as unworthy to receive and benefit from the crop. It doesn’t think, it responds; and it responds by growing what we plant and nurture (our repetitive thoughts) into a result (expansion into our lives of what we focus on). All we have to do is understand the laws soil has programmed into it. When we understand its laws and use them correctly, we get the soil to produce what we need or choose for it to do for us. And, what it produces can feed, clothe, and house us; and give us material to make violins or violence.

The field, like soil, follows the Law; and the Law follows our moment-by-moment feeling/thought vibrations. We direct, we don’t create. The field creates according to our instructions . . . because that’s the Law.

The experience of prosperity or any effect requires we embody the consciousness of prosperity. The Effect always matches the Cause in vibration.

Now, here’s the key: Affirming or stating something is yours and simultaneously believing you don’t deserve it or won’t get it, negates having what you desire. The two thoughts cannot occupy the same space at the same time. Until you choose, your situation or experience is at a stalemate.

We also need to pay attention to how small or large we imagine experiences for ourselves. The Source (or whichever word you choose) wants us to ask or claim what we desire to experience. Its very existence and behavior proves its nature is to create and expand. We, as expressions of it, have the inherent right to ask for whatever we want and receive it. No one, especially Source, is going to pat you on the back for asking for very little or for not taking up too much space. Even the universe we reside in continues its expansion.

Ask yourself what will remove doubt from your mind. Dream and desire; then dream and desire even more.

Law of Attraction: Do You Feel the Vibes?

You’ve heard or read it: The Law of Attraction (your order form that goes directly to Source/All That Is) responds to your deepest-held belief and/or feeling about everything and mirrors it back to you in your life. How’s this working for you?

You can identify what you desire to expand into your life through the back door: “Well, what I don’t want is . . .” (which will only create more of what you don’t want) or, you can walk through the grand entrance. Fact: The human brain omits the word “don’t”. So does the quantum field (our larger brain). “Don’t slam the door,” is heard by a human brain as “Slam the door.” “Don’t let me lack” is heard by the quantum field as . . . Big Oops, huh? As I’ve told friends and clients, it’s better to state what you want than what you don’t want. The mathematical law applies: The shortest distance between two points is a straight line.

One of the quickest ways to do this is to recognize that no matter how many expressions of the energy exist (think of everything that’s ever been, is now, is becoming, and will become) . . . there’s only one energy.

Each of us allows the energy to do what it does best through us: create more. And it creates more of what we focus our attention on repeatedly.

Take a moment to think or feel this concept: If the energy is in everything (and it is), then it’s in you, the food you eat, everyone else, every thing (and this includes money), then you’re surrounded by, permeated by, the abundance and creative aspect of All That Is.

Let’s pick on the favorite topic of so many: money. First, it doesn’t exist. From the quantum mechanics perspective, there’s nothing there but the illusion we’ve created in a holographic field held together by conscious thought, created so we can have an experience (true for everything we think is solid). We even demonstrate this to ourselves in the physical realm every time we use an automatic transfer. What we’re really exchanging is energy and calling it money. Our electronic age is reflecting this fact to us, and most of us don’t even see it. When you move money into or out of your account electronically, what moves? Agreed-to numbers, right?

If you’d like to increase your numbers or experiences, one way to not accomplish this is to have your attention on not having it already. If that last sentence sounds confusing, it’s no more confusing than how we process our desire for more on our order form we place into the field. You’ll get there quicker if you can touch the feeling that there’s no separation between you, the field, source, and what you desire except in your perception that there is.

What’s a good way to expand into your life those things you desire to experience more of? Name them, but from a different perspective. If you want better clients, cash flow, projects, relationships, whatever . . . write down what these look and feel like to you. What would be the ideal? Since everything is energy, including and especially thought, are your focused thoughts and feelings aligned with that ideal? Are they aligned with allowing your ideal into your life? Are you Absolutely Free of Any Doubt that this can be yours, and in fact, is yours if you’ll just allow it?

Think of one thing you manifested using the Law of Attraction (I know you have, even if just to think of someone and they contacted you shortly after your thought). Maybe you thought, “I’m going to get XYZ,” and you found one somewhere or someone offered it to you because they were getting rid of it. Now think of something you’ve been affirming, but don’t feel you’ve received or it’s not coming fast enough. What’s different?

Actually, I do suggest you ponder that for yourself so you get your own answers. I’ll share that when I did this, I recognized that with the “simple” stuff, my comment to myself about attaining or obtaining something was matter-of-fact and had zero doubt attached to it. What’s the difference between the “smaller” stuff and the “larger” stuff? Perception.

There’s no small or large stuff. Any small stuff you’ve created proved to you that the Law of Attraction works and it works when you align what you vibrate about it to having it.

Everything we have in our life is a direct result of a vibration we hold. Feel the vibes of having it. Trust that “it” or something even better is yours. Allow it. You’ll be surprised at how quickly you’re living it and onto creating something else.
