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.

Trusting Heart

Law of attraction followers spend a great deal of time talking about "flow". In a nutshell, flow is the concept of allowing yourself to go with the natural desires of your heart to the point where your life just flows from one experience to the next in a perfect and orderly dance. This topic is hitting me hard lately because I realize I have been resisting some of the key directions where my heart has been pulling me to go.

My heart has been drawing me back to my Christian roots. It isn't the ideologies that are calling me back. What is calling me back is the music I used to listen to. Much of my meditation time back then was spent listening to Christian music where I would allow myself to get so absorbed by the music and words I would get connected to God/Source. It is that connection that I crave, and the music will let me do it regardless of my views on religion.

The one thing holding me back is the thought I am committing myself to something that has the potential for darkness. Once again, I am overthinking things. My heart is guiding me there!!! Why am I resisting?

Sometimes the mind is a terrible burden. It uses lessons and observation to make judgments and decisions about where to go in life. The thing is, the information of the mind is extremely limited. Consequently, you are making decisions based on insufficient data. Limited data. Limited results!

The heart is what sees the bigger picture because it sees the whole picture!!! All the information is there. Fact of the matter is, your limited mind cannot wrap itself around the information contained in the One!!! Your heart is what does this. The heart does not think in the same linear way as the mind. The heart is timeless, spaceless, dimensionless. The heart has no limits. 

You may not be able to understand why the heart is pulling you in one direction instead of another, but trust it anyway!!! Your heart sees what your mind cannot--eternity, and that is literally everything you need!!!
