The Law Of Attraction And Darkness

I am a believer in the law of attraction. You do get more of what you think about and dwell on. That is where the problems begin in the New Age community. There are many out there who refuse to believe that darkness even exists. It's almost as though, if they stop thinking about evil, it will go away altogether. The irony comes when they encounter evil. If they don't believe in it and didn't think it into existence, where did it come from? Darkness has always existed with the light. You may be able to hide from the darkness at times, but it will eventually find you again. Sooner or later, darkness must be dealt with.

It's a simple truth of this duality that we live in. We need darkness if we are to appreciate and understand light. While you may cling fast to the light, darkness still exists in the world around you. Darkness still exists in you! Resisting darkness only makes it worse because you are, in effect, focusing on it and drawing it more closely to you.

Understand that resistance is an energy block, and blocks are what stop flow and abundance from entering into your life. The more you resist darkness, the more you block the free flow of energy toward you and away from you.

Martin Luther King, Jr. once said:

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

For me, this is the wisdom of the Universe! This is the very strategy that made the civil rights movement in the United States work! It wasn't their resistance that worked even though their resistance supplied the contrast. What worked is the fact they did not respond back with violence. Because MLK and his followers were peaceful in the face of great abuse, others who looked at the situation began to understand the darkness that limited the freedom of black people in this country. The darkness was acknowledged for the ugliness it was, and people could no longer accept that treatment as the status quo.

What's the solution when we encounter darkness? Understand that it is here for the contrast. Thank it for the understanding it is brings. Then, instead of resisting it, love it! Bestow it with all the equal and opposite feelings you can muster! It needs healing! It needs to be balanced out in order to restore the equilibrium once again.

We can never truly get away from darkness because darkness is part of everything that is, including ourselves. Accept it. Deal with it. Love it. Bring it back into the fold. When we are done looking upon darkness as the enemy and resisting it, we are one step closer to peace.

Heart, Intuition, And The Art Of Manifestation

A good many people believe manifestation is a matter of thinking positive thoughts and aligning your emotions until they are in sync with those thoughts, all rolled together with a healthy dose of thankfulness. While there is a great deal of truth in this idea, something key is missing: the heart. The bottom line is, if what you are trying to manifest does not line up with your core values and beliefs, no amount of syncing mind and emotion is going to get what you think you want. Intuition is the place to begin understanding those core beliefs and values.

Understanding self is key to the manifestation process. To do this, one needs awareness. Awareness is found in the place of connection within your heart. On a surface level, we can connect to what our hearts want by paying attention to all those things that make us happy. These become all those things we want to manifest. However, we often have energetic blocks inside that do not get addressed. These blocks keep us from manifesting what we truly desire. There are fantastic teachers and techniques out there who can help you get over such blocks, and I encourage you to seek them out for yourself. That said, ultimately you are responsible for doing the work for yourself. Teachers can only lead you to water. You are the one who has to choose to drink it.

Meditation is a great place to begin. By sitting in the quiet and giving yourself time to connect to Source energy, the more the Universe will speak to you. You begin to understand all those things that make you tick. You will see your piece in the puzzle and how it can be played. You will also begin to understand what you truly want, which are often not the same things the world tries to convince you that you want. Connecting to heart can be a surprising process, but the results will be amazing and very worthwhile.

If your heart is in alignment with what you desire to manifest it will be successful. Use your connection to heart and the intuition it brings to manifest the life you want and truly deserve!
