Law of attraction states that whatever you focus on you
attract. People can often mistake this
as purely material, “I focus on a red Ferrari”, “I want more money”, “I want to
be a size 10” but in fact it is easier to notice how this works in life if you
look at it as accessing different levels of awareness. When you are operating primarily out of fear
or anger then you get that coming right back at you, when you operate out of
joy or optimism, then you get that vibrating back at you.
Take for example five different days when you walk down a dark alley and you see a homeless man sitting next to a dumpster. Imagine you have had a particularly fearful day or you are in a very fearful mood – the world seems dark, foreboding and unkind – disaster is lurking at every corner (you just watched the news!). Walking down this alley is already filling you with unease, you spot the homeless man and notice the likely thoughts running through your mind. “He’s going to mug me” ,“He’s going to rape me”. Notice the level of stress and anxiety running through your body. Notice how tense and upset you feel when he reaches out his hand to you. Likely you turn and run down the street away from him. Imagine the story you would tell your friends and family about your ‘narrow escape’.
Now imagine you have had a terrible day with people you despise, you are in a rage and you feel like you are about to explode you are so angry. Same alley, same homeless man. This time you look at him and what are the thoughts coming to you now – what is the thinking you are now accessing? “Good for nothing”, “Lazy, incompetent, parasite”. He reaches his hand out to you. Do you hit him, kick him – in your mind maybe, if not in reality. There is violence in your thoughts and violence in your environment. You can imagine how that life would pan out if you continued to sit in anger day after day.
Next mood, you’ve had a disappointing day, you’re feeling deflated and hopeless. Overwhelmed and unhappy with life. Feeling small and insignificant – ‘nothing goes my way’. You walk down the alley and see the man. Maybe you burst into tears, see him as a total summary of your life, a sign for how low you’ve also sunk. He holds out his hand and you just shrug – you feel as poor and hopeless as him, what can you possibly offer him?
Shifting up a gear now, you walk down the alley in an optimistic mood. Life is good, you feel happy, optimistic and enthused by life. You feel the universe is kind and loving and you feel very blessed and excited about life. You see the homeless man, what do you do? Sit next to him and chat awhile, share your lunch with him, share a touch of kindness with him? He holds out his hand and you give him ten bucks, or fifty. You smile and it feels good.
Finally, imagine you are in total joy, vibrating in truth and love, empowered. You walk down the alley, you see the man. He holds out his hand, don’t you give him everything you have? Don’t you hold him, hug him, touch him with your love? You walk out and you have blessed another human being with your love. You have gone from me me me to service.
This is the way to change the world, this is the way to make a difference – through your own vibration and not through fear or anger or raging at the world and what it has or hasn’t done for you, to you. Notice the same man in all these scenarios, just a different you. This is a microcosm of your life, you react to every single incident in your life based on the level you are vibrating at, what you are feeling and thinking and your filters. Minute by minute, day by day – your life really shouldn’t be any surprise to you, you created it.
You can change it too by simply focusing on your vibration, how are you feeling today and how do you feel better. There are so many amazing techniques in both law of attraction and the Work of Byron Katie to help you shift up and up in your energy and in so doing in experiencing a totally new level of life.
