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.

The Importance of Consent

There is a sort of magic we use every day without necessarily being aware that's what it is. It deals with the concept of consent, or giving permission for things to take place in your life. The reason consent is so important is that nothing can take place in our lives unless we make the decision to allow it.

Understand that I am not just talking Law of Attraction type principles. While I believe there are some truths in the Law of Attraction, this New Age belief can be a bit misleading because it makes you responsible for everything that happens to you in life. Sometimes bad things occur, but it isn't because you're dwelling on the bad things or "attracting" them into your life. It is because you have given your consent to allow them to happen.

Consent may be given in a couple of different ways. The first way is by actively seeking out something new for your life and giving permission for it to happen. The second form of consent involves being presented with a choice by something outside yourself and giving permission. The problem with this second form of consent is that the choice you are given may be delivered in a way that can be misleading. You may believe you know the in-and-outs of the choice you are making, but in reality you only know half truths and are basing important decisions on that limited knowledge.

Understand there are beings out there, both on this physical plane and in more spiritual ones, that use deception to get you to consent to things that harm your soul or the souls of others. These deceptive beings understand they need your permission for things to take place in your life. They also know you will never agree to them with all the facts laid out before you. Therefore, they disclose just enough information for you to know you are agreeing to something without understanding all the consequences of the choice you are making.

Blocks are a form of consent where you consent to terms that may not really agree with your soul plan and what you desire to accomplish in life. Your awareness is such that you know the direction you want to move in, but because of consent you are not allowed to go there. Quite often, this consent has been given in other lifetimes of which you are not aware, but the consent contract is still binding.

Also know it is within your power to withdraw your consent at any time!!! At those times when you recognize your blocks or just understand that the consent you have given is not helpful to your life, you are allowed to change your mind!!! Consciously withdrawing your consent instantly allows your soul to progress into the place you desire to go.

The consent you give has the power to grant your freedom or retain your bondage. Choose to seek out that conscious knowledge that will allow you to give the consent that leads to your freedom!!!
