Why Does Everything Come at Once?

law of resonance, law of attraction in daily life post

A Note from the Universe:

Do not think
that you have to get “there”, wherever “there” is for you, with what you have today, whether in terms of money, confidence, talent, connections, whatever. Doesn’t work like that. Too scary.
Bad idea.

Once you set yourself in motion, the necessary resources, in terms of money, confidence, talent, connections, will be drawn to you.

{soft whisper in the background,
“Once you set yourself in motion…”}

*Fade out.*

Do you ever notice that when you’re feeling really great about something, you get a phone call with even more good news? Yes! We’re ordering icecream for supper! The whole day has an “on” quality about it.

I used to read stories about people who were always looking for The One, the perfect job, the dream life. Time and time again, when the person immersed him/herself into his passion (usually giving their main focus to some career or entrepreneurial pursuit), they synchronistically met The Soulmate.. walked into a miraculous opportunity.. or experienced more wealth than they had previously hoped for.

Why?

Well, the results make a lot of sense. When you are feeling great about something, you attract more things that feel great. This law of resonance — like attracts like — is the most popular of the universal laws.

Some daily life examples of the law of resonance in action:

Why do you get more offers for dates from strangers when you’re happily in a relationship? Not because people are skanky, no — but for the reason that you’re sending out the vibes that you’re confident and happy about your relationship. Walking around with a smile on your face, excited for what the next moment will bring, you are a magnet for more of the same, and for people who resonate to those same desires.

Why are you offered free meals in restaurants when you have lots of money already? Because you’re living an abundant mindset.

Why do banks only give loans to people who have money? Hmmm a mystery. No! You receive money when your actions reflect that you are ready to receive it. Would you give your money — an investment of your time and effort — to someone or something that showed no potential desire to build upon your offering? I don’t think so. The kids that take care of their belongings are given even nicer gifts. Showing appreciation for what you have, goes a long way.

Do you know how to take care of money? Show it! Start the habit of saving. Looking for some wonderful relationship to develop? Well, ask yourself the basics: do you know how to be loving?

Start with yourself. Act like you are the person you will be when you are in that loving relationship and walking around knowing you are financially independent and you have a reason to get up each morning with a smile on your face and a twinkle in your eye. A twinkle, not a twinkie. Don’t snack in bed.

Law of Resonance (Law of Attraction)

Abraham-Hicks emphasize that feeling good is your only priority. Do anything to feel good, anything to put yourself into a vibratory state of receiving what you want. In this vibrational universe, your vibration is all that matters.

I was going to offer some suggestions about how to align your vibration with what you want, but it’s easier to simply delve into Abraham-Hicks’ years of enlightening discussions first-hand as they’ve been offering practical processes of doing this (deliberate creating) for years. The main point? Reach for the next thought that feels better, wherever you are on the feeling spectrum.

You’re happy when you’re thinking about what you want, right? So… think about what you want.

Thinking about who you want to be, what you want to do and have, makes you feel good. If thinking about what you want makes you feel bad, then you know it’s time to focus on what is good about your current situation and see the ways in which things are getting better and that what you want is possible. Better yet, here’s a novel idea: Think of what you want while you act in ways conducive to getting what you want. You’ll feel even better about your success as you progressively realize it, instead of waiting around by the phone all night. :p

No means Yes!

This universal consciousness doesn’t know the difference between what you say you want and what you say you don’t want. In other words, if you say you don’t want to walk home in the rain, the universe picks up the image of you walking home in the rain, and you get the rain or something else that matches your feeling about the rain. Whether you say YES or NO to the image, what you focus on provides the creative direction.

From Abraham-Hicks’ quarterly journal:

What confuses most people about this is that you have not learned to be discriminating in that which you are giving your attention to. When you see something that you want, and you say, “Yes yes, more of that,” what’s actually happening, not by your yessing but by your attention to it, you are including that vibration in your mix, which means, when Law of Attraction acts upon that — you are going to get more of this that you are saying “yes” to. But when you see those things that you do not want and you shout “no” at them — because this is a Universe that is based upon attraction, and there’s no such thing as exclusion — when you say “no” to something it’s really the same as saying “yes” to it. Yes means yes, and no means yes. Whatever you give your attention to means yes.

If you say you want one thing but don’t act as though you believe it will happen, well then, you’ve cancelled your desire. If your beliefs about something match the actions you take, then that is a good sign that you are a vibrational match for what you want.

What you’re thinking about and how you feel about what you’re thinking about are your directions to the universal manager to bring you more of the same. Ask and it is given. Remember: in a vibrational universe, your ‘asking’ is equivalent to ‘what you are paying attention to’.

Therefore,

Think and Act as if you are already living the life you want…. it’s a daily investment and it may take some effort at first to focus as much as possible on what you really want, but nothing beats the return on investment!

Imagine. You Become What You Imagine…

You Become What You Imagine Yourself to Be

Here’s something to think about. Remember that famous Zimbardo study you learned about while sleeping through Psych 101? Here’s a refresher: “In 1975, social psychologist Philip Zimbardo conducted an experiment demonstrating that violent and aggressive behavior could be elicited from typical college students simply by asking them to act in the role of a prison guard. Zimbardo was curious about the psychological effects of imprisonment, so he arranged for students to enact the roles of prisoners or prison guards. Male subjects were recruited through newspaper ads offering them $15 a day to participate. Seventy-five men applied to participate, and 19 were chosen. A battery of tests was employed to select those with the most stable personalities. Volunteers were randomly assigned to play prison guard or prisoner through the flip of a coin.”

Guess what happened? The subjects recruited to act as prison guards, did act like prison guards. They became their imagined roles. They behaved in ways they thought real prison guards would behave.

Similarly, in the Milgram study, participants willingly obeyed a perceived authority figure and administered (or thought they were administering) strong electric shocks to other participants, disregarding their own internal judgment of right and wrong. The researchers were disturbed by these findings and outlined the need to understand the psychology of obedience:

“The extreme willingness of adults to go to almost any lengths on the command of an authority constitutes the chief finding of the study and the fact most urgently demanding explanation.

Ordinary people, simply doing their jobs, and without any particular hostility on their part, can become agents in a terrible destructive process. Moreover, even when the destructive effects of their work become patently clear, and they are asked to carry out actions incompatible with fundamental standards of morality, relatively few people have the resources needed to resist authority.”

Who’s Writing on Your Board?

Hmm. A professor of mine at York had a great saying. He would look at us, his students, ‘the brightest and best,’ all sitting in an obedient circle in his classroom. He would ask, “What are you here for?” And we’d answer him, trying not to sound stupid, knowing that he was making the point that we largely didn’t have any good reasons for being there, least of all explanations we’d arrived at using our own minds.

“So, you’re here because everybody else was going to university?… You didn’t want to get a job?… You wanted a good education?…. I see. Who told you that you should be here?”

Then he’d step back and let the question sink in.

“When did you internalize the messages that came from outside of you?”

More silence. Then a reference to our internal programming, how we’d been internalizing information without processing it:

“Who’s been writing directly on your board? [paraphrased for the younger generation, “Who’s been writing on your wall?”]……………… Why do you let them?”

He always had a way about him, like he knew something we didn’t, but he just couldn’t articulate to us in words the meaning of what he was really saying. Words weren’t enough to penetrate through the depth of our ignorance so he’d talk to us in metaphors instead. Another one of his favourites was, “This [whatever he was teaching us] is a finger pointing at the moon. Stop looking at the finger, and understand where the finger is coming from!”

Who’s been writing on your wall, telling you what to do and how to think? (Other than me.) 😉 If it’s not you, then who do you imagine yourself to be, and why aren’t you listening to your own truth?

Really.

And if you are awake and know yourself, excuse me for giving you the finger… analogy. 🙂
