Manifesting with the Law of Attraction

All of us were created with an innate inner wisdom which guides our lives, serves as an inner “truth meter” and helps us to make important decisions at critical turning points in our lives. Some call this natural gift intuition, spiritual guidance or “gut feelings”.

Each of us connects to intuition in our own unique ways. Those with artistic or musical gifts may call upon their muse to inspire them with creative ideas. Those whose work involves great physical or mental endurance may connect with their inner wisdom by challenging themselves deeply to break through the barriers that usually stand between themselves and their inner gifts. Some of us may live very busy lives with little time to tune into our inner guidance, but our dreams serve as messengers to share with us the important information we may have tuned out in the midst of a busy day.

Our intuition is a profound gift which connects our embodied physical self with our divine spiritual essence. The soul can communicate with our embodied self through this line of light, and we can develop this inner connection over time through meditation, prayer, and the desire to know ourselves more deeply.

Our intuition can be of great benefit at all times in our lives, and especially during times of great stress or difficulty. In situations where we are facing unanticipated challenges such as the loss of a loved one or an illness, many intense emotions arise from within us. Our habitual supports are removed or shaken, which can cause us to feel unmoored, adrift, without anything to hold onto.

Our intuition can act as a guiding compass, pointing us instinctively towards the supports we need to get through the difficulties we are facing. When our minds fail us because we feel overwhelmed, the voice of our inner wisdom speaks clearly and will repeat itself as often as necessary.

If we are accustomed to being in control of our lives, and then suddenly are faced with a situation we cannot manage, we may feel frightened and desperate because our usual methods of coping no longer are working. Intuition however, will always work, even in the direst of circumstances, because our embodied human self in the physical world is always connected with our larger spiritual self.

In a time of challenge or crisis, our spiritual support systems are activated from the spiritual realms. Our connection with intuition or guidance is strengthened, and those loving beings in the spiritual realms that watch over us and guide our lives provide extra assistance.

If we have become accustomed to discounting our inner wisdom, or have simply shut down the intuitive parts of ourselves through years of neglect, it may feel as though we cannot find the thread of light that would re-connect us to our source. It is important to understand that no matter how disconnected we become from our divine inner wisdom, it is always present and available to us. Even if we have erected barriers to shut out our inner guidance for a time, these can removed by our diligent prayer and intention.

If we have been disconnected from ourselves for a very long time, the process of reconnecting will often bring up old emotions, thoughts and memories that we may have hidden from ourselves that we were not ready to deal with. During this re-balancing phase, it is helpful to participate in some kind of regular spiritual or emotional support system that can help stabilize our inner connection with spirit.

One of the most challenging aspects of the healing process is remembering that emotions and memories from the past are coming up in order to be healed and released. A support system can help us to anchor in the strength of our inner being, to allow the emotions and feelings to pass through us and to release from our body, mind and spirit.

As this cleansing process happens, intuition and inner wisdom are naturally strengthened, for there are fewer barriers between ourselves and our spirit. This deeper inner connection can provide a source of wisdom, freedom, empowerment and comfort during difficult times, and will sustain us throughout life with greater love, joy and peace. Inner wisdom is a great gift, and is intended not only to bless our individual lives, but to share with others to bless all of life by our connection with the divine.

The consciousness of your energy structure unconsciously projects out what is going on at your deep core level. A façade cannot hide your fears and your baggage. These are the inner conflicting qualities that are projecting out into the community. They are seen within family feuds, community bickering, bureaucratic rules, the serpents of society and global wars.

7 Points on how does ‘not loving yourself’ play out in your world?

* Not loving yourself is contaminating your body with chemicals from inhaling/eating toxic substances that gives a highly addictive-abusive quality that self-destructs the physical.

* Not loving yourself is drinking fluids that produce a drunken lethargic body that does not want to exercise. * Not loving yourself is indulging in foods – the rich sweets and fast foods — the pick-me-ups that produce a swollen gas-filled belly and to store a cloth of fat to protect yourself from not being loved by yourself.

* Not loving yourself is having moods of back stabbing squabbles, snorting in judgmental discontent and creating the bad habits of fighting, manipulating and controlling others in your world.

* Not loving yourself is allowing others to control you, to feed off you, to disempower you to enslave your energy through judgments, appeasement, agendas, obligation and compromise.

* Not loving yourself is feeding yourself with complaining, festering fearful thoughts of belittlement, judgment, disliking self from out-dated and worn-out beliefs or even being physically or mentally attached and obsessed to something or a dependent relationship outside of yourself.

* Not loving yourself is thinking that you do not deserve something, that you must be punished for a sin or error, and that you are not allowing yourself to receive the abundance and the empowerment that you can claim. Your heart cries out to receive your worth. Instead you live with ‘just enough to survive’ that is filled with suffering, hardship and effort — a belief in ‘no pain — no gain’.

The Dualistic Imbalance

* At one over-inflated level of the ego – not loving yourself can contain force, greed and power, through the fear of not being in control and ownership over yourself. It then takes on a quality of trying to control, force, fight, steal and feed-off others to get what you want–to gain love.

* At the bottom level of a squashed ego–not loving yourself is having unworthy, disempowering and self-denial, ‘just enough’ concepts. It is about lacking physical pleasures and comforts that lead to poverty – instead of living in a wonderful abundant environment.

Then what is the deeper energy involved in self-love?

Self-love is not vanity, selfishness or arrogance! All these negative qualities are not love. They are a FEAR!

The fear for you not to love yourself is an imbalance and a lack. It is an over inflated poor self-esteem or a low self-worth inflicted by an unbalanced egotistical intellect, reinforced by mass consciousness hypnotic belief system and overlays. It allows inferiority and unworthiness to surface – to be replaced by an ‘instead’. These issues bring a feeling that you are not good enough, that you have done something wrong, that you feel that you have sinned, a mistake by your creations, an a high power force must save you — and that has created karma of cause and effect. You think you need to be punished for your mistakes and therefore you need to suffer. Look at the world and you will see suffering, hardship, punishment and struggling with ‘just enough to survive’. Then you feel that you don’t deserve. This leaves you with a feeling of guilt, shame and resistance – a destructive energy that destroys what you have built. Resistance brings pain and pain brings suffering – is a rigid belief system of an unbalanced perceptions.

The fear of the indoctrinated belief that self-love is vain, selfish and egotistical to love yourself has allowed you to accept these fearful rules, taught conditions and dogmatic standards within mass consciousness as being true for you. To serve others first and not to love the self was written in the scriptures to bring fear, control and greed upon the masses. The consciousness at the time was low, cruel, barbaric and harsh and it was appropriate at the time. Times have changed; consciousness has risen in a modern technological era, to where these handed down beliefs do not serve you anymore.

When you cannot love and accept yourself, when you are angry, spiteful, jealous and judgmental etc, you are an empty vessel and an empty vessel has nothing to give other than your fearful baggage, agendas and burdens. Yet an empty vessel cannot receive love and abundance because you are in so much denial of accepting yourself or of trying to give everything to others that you ‘miss the boat’ — so to speak and ignore any opportunities that come your way to receive. When you keep giving to others, and you cannot receive you will begin to complain, stating that ‘no one supports you’ that ‘no one appreciates what you do’ and so on.

It is time to let go of old way, old belief structures that have been passed down for centuries. By learning to love yourself, to accept yourself, to honour your 100 percent worth that you have inherited since birth, you will realize that all of your experiences have been about the percentage level of how you have seen yourself, how you have treated yourself and how much you thought you deserved something. Now with a new expanded perception you can still love the worth of yourself without feeding off and disempowering or stealing energies from others and vice versa. The balance is just that — ‘you can have your cake and eat it’ — you can love yourself, you can give yourself the treasures of what life has to offer and you can give that to others along with your compassion, acceptance, honour and blessings and to serve others too if and when they choose to accept it.

I first read this statement in the book, Pure Power by James Lee Valentine. I was hooked from then on. It has become my motto and I hope you will make it yours too.

These may just be 10 2-letter words, but as one, it stands as a claim to our power to create the life we are meant to live. Contain in this simple statement is the message that we have the ability to fulfill our dreams.

We have the habit of leaving the fulfillment of our dreams to chance. Maybe that is the reason why our lives are mediocre. We go by the rules of “que sera sera” (whatever will be, will be) rather than “if it is to be, it is up to me” We strip ourselves of the right to take part in building our ideal life.

I once participated in a community outreach program in a very depressed area. One of our agenda is to teach skills that the people can use to earn income. We went from house to house inviting each family to participate. At least one of the families I have been to, declined our invitation saying, “If we are meant to live in poverty, then we will always be poor no matter what” It is so sad to hear that there are people who will just accept that the lives they are meant to live is one of poverty, scarcity & oppression.

We have been endowed with great potentials and we have been equipped with the power to realize these potentials. That is why we have the ability to attract & choose the circumstances that will affect our lives. Sad to say, choosing is the power we often willingly give up.

Attracting

It has been called a lot of things – the law of attraction, manifesting, conscious creation. Much has been said about it – for & against it. One has just to examine one’s life to observe that it is inherent in our existence that whatever most occupies our minds & accepted as facts & truths will be reflected in our reality.

Choosing

By choosing, I do not mean that you can tell fate to just give you all good things. You will not grow that way. However, what you do with the lemon that fate throws at you is your decision.

By exercising your power to choose what you focus on, you can manipulate your ability to attract to your advantage. For the statement “if it is to be, it is up to me” can work both ways. If it is to be poverty for the rest of your life, it is up to you to focus & accept poverty. If it is to be abundance for the rest of your life, it is also up to you to focus & accept abundance.

Taking Charge

I grew up being compared to my older brother who is an achiever. I was unappreciated, made to feel worthless & was openly criticized by my mother almost all of my school age years. As an adult, I had low self-esteem and I easily lose my confidence when I am with achievers. As expected my mother & I didn’t grow very close. I kept blaming her for my lack of self confidence & poor self esteem.

I had a very painful experience some years ago and my mother was at the heart of the matter. I was at the lowest ebb, but I had the opportunity to reexamine my life and it was then that I realized that I am already in control of my life. I may be helpless as a child & just accepted whatever my mother said, but as an adult I already know that I am not as worthless as she said I am. I’ve also learned to forgive her for what she did, after all she was also just a product of her own growing up years which I think was far from ideal too. If I don’t let go of the past, I will just perpetuate the cycle and my own children will suffer like I did.

I know that there are many people out there who may have similar experiences. You can choose to take charge now or you can choose to continually live a miserable life. There are also people out there that have just lost hope of ever improving their lives, you can keep your sense of hopelessness or you can choose to be free of hopelessness. Just keep in mind, “if it is to be, it is up to me”
