Law of Attraction: Like attracts like

I have been studying the Law of Attraction for close to a year and a half now. I will admit it took me a long time to “get it”. I have had many little awakenings along the way. Usually they were occurred when I would find some new materials by a new teacher. I guess if I look back over the last six years, there were various people who were peppering it into my life and I just didn’t know it and was not ready to understand it. A friend had told me about Anthony Robbins a long time ago, and while I thought what he had to say was absolutely great, I just didn’t get it. The same goes for Neale Donald Walsch’s Conversations with God. The material was just too advanced for where I was mentally and spiritually at that time. So needless to say, a lot of the messages were just lost on me. Luckily something in the back of my mind told me to hold on to the materials I had from these two teachers because I might have something to learn.

I am very thankful that Rhonda Byrne create the movie The Secret. I have heard some people criticize the message they feel it’s sending to people. A lot of people say that it’s only directed at gaining a lot of wealth if you just fantasize about the things you want. People say it’s promoting laziness that people will see this as a way to just think that all they have to do is sit back and wait for these things to fall into their laps. Oh, they are so very wrong. I honestly believe that the way The Secret was produced was absolute perfection. This movie came out with a bang and whacked people right in their heads and said “WAKE UP”. Had I not been shown this book and movie, I do not honestly know if I would have had that desire to learn more about how this works. There is not “something for nothing” in life. That is very much true and The Secret and no other teacher spreading this message are saying that by any means. What you can learn is that if you are willing to do the work behind it you can achieve your dreams.

I recently constructed my 5th vision board, this one focused on romance. I study everyday. I find new teachers, I have found podcasts which talk about the messages of other teachers. I participate on communities where people are working with law of attraction all the time. I have been immersed into Abraham-Hicks and have finally understood their messages when it was so hard for me to grasp ten months ago. Recently one topic came up about gaining back a romantic interest that people lost, they wanted to know if it was possible. Another individual offered Abraham’s answer to finding the perfect partner and I shared that message with other people. I have been sharing that with my friends, trying to get them to see that what they focus upon is what they get more of. Funny, I should say that because life recently gave me a very good example of it to make me see for myself.

I have noticed within myself that I have feelings of jealousy. I don’t really know where those feelings aroused from. My romantic interest has from time to time said thing that make me feel jealous. I recently explained that I was feeling that way, expecting him to be understanding about that. LOL Nicole, were you ever wrong. Over the course of our next couple of conversations he started to bring things up that would make me feel more and more inferior and out of the loop and I was experiencing an incredible tight sensation in the center of my chest all day yesterday about what had occurred on the telephone. It made me angry. I actually made me really ask myself “Are you sure you really want a person just like this”. I had left him a voice mail expressing how badly I felt after our call and wanted to hear back from him. My call has not been returned and I do not worry about it because frankly, I wouldn’t have wanted to deal with anyone’s emotional turmoil after I just worked an 8 hour shift either.

I ended up speaking to an ex-boyfriend of mine and he got me in a much more cheerful mood and then I went to sleep. I woke up remembering the dream I had and was not surprised that it was one where I was experiencing a romantic interest doing things to deliberately make me jealous. I was still out of sorts about it this morning, very determined to understand the message of the dream. Then it hit me… everything I perceived yesterday during the phone call was an illusion. It gave me negative emotions and I held them to be true because to me it felt real. Then it it struck me with great clarity…”If you are jealous you will attract more to be jealous about”.  So I realized that jealousy is really a very detrimental emotion, it is absolutely one of the strongest of the negative emotions we do experience. In the end I learned that as long as I was feeling the emotion of jealousy when it came to this specific person, he would produce more for me to be jealous of. This goes for everything else in life that could provoke any negative emotion. Now I know for certain what I need to work on with myself and I am so much more content since my brain reasoned it out by rational thinking. What is even better is that I can take the blame off of him and allow him to be who he is without any negative feelings about it what so ever. It permits me to have the absolute best of him and appreciate him for exactly who he is. This is what the law of attraction has taught me today.
