Christianity and The Law of Attraction

When Oprah Winfrey introduced the book "The Secret" the metaphysical world was rejoicing.  Vindication, at last.

Many Christians were torn between what was being told in the book and their belief system.  I was one of those.  My son, who is a Youth Minister, told me that The Law of Attraction did not exist.   

Does something not exist because we don't see it or feel it or touch it?  Does gravity not exist?  Does electricity not exist?  Does the Holy Spirit not exist?  We see the effects therefore why wouldn't they exist.   When we have a magnitude of evidence about something, the more certainty we assign to it; when there is enough evidence, we call the information a fact, even if it isn't 100% certain, or fully understood.  Why challenge the existence of The Law of Attraction?  I think it is because it could cause a collapse of many belief systems that are currently in place and are limiting to our lives.  For me it has strengthened my belief.

I had heard of the LOA and I knew its basic premise but I was not for or against the idea.  I was forced to read "The Secret" by my good friend Debra: "Bev you got to read it."  I mean this literally.  She bought me a copy of the book and we sat down to read together.  It opened my eyes to a whole new world of possibilities.  I began to devour books and information on the Internet.  I began to ask questions that I had never asked before and the answers came from many different and surprising directions.

The most amazing thing was that I began to review my life for signs that LOA was indeed in force.  According to the books, it is in force whether you believe or not.  As I began my retrospective journey, I realized that it was true.  Yes, I know that we can find anything that we want if we look hard enough.  I didn't look hard.  I just remembered significant episodes in my life. Let me share one with you.

When I was a freshman in college (a long time ago), the coat style of the day was a parka.  They were either short or 3/4 length.  I wanted one because everyone had one.  I didn't dare ask my parents because they were struggling to pay for me to be in a private college in West Virginia.  One day I went to pick up my mail at the student union and there was a note in my mailbox that I had a package.  Now as all college students know a package means a care package from home.   I was ready for one.  I got the box but it was light in weight and it was not from my Mother.  It was from my neighbor.   I took it back to my dorm and opened it.  I screamed.  I cried.  I was astonished.  There in the box was a pink parka.  Yes, a beautiful pink parka.  I kept asking everyone I showed it to, "How did she know?  Why would she send this to me?  I have a great coat."  I never asked her why she sent it.  I sent her a most heartfelt thank you note.

Today, I know that I asked for it in such a way that God put it into Miss Grace's heart to send me that coat.  I had the desire and the belief that I could get such a coat.  I was working on campus and putting money away.  I never thought that the Universe would answer my desire mainly because I didn't believe that I could ask for something so selfish and receive.

I have more examples of people and things showing up in my life at the right time.  I also have examples of when they didn't show up.  However even before I started this journey, I recognized that when I didn't get something, it was always for my good.   I didn't get a specific job and I was upset; however later I found that the people in the position got laid off.  I would have been one of them.  I later got the job I really wanted; in a wonderful location; with better pay and I never got laid off. 

Confusion about what is and what isn't; what is fact and what is fiction is constantly being brought to the attention of this world and our universe. Christians and other religious people can become conflicted as they read books about the LOA.  This conflict had to be resolved for me via the scriptures and it has.   Let me share the first of many with you.

After I share this passage with you, I want you to take the time to think about what it says and how it can have an impact on your life and that of others.

Matthew 7:7-11
 "Ask, and it will be given to you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you. ⁸For everyone who asks receives, and everyone who searches finds, and for everyone who knocks, the door will be opened. ⁹Is there anyone among you who, if your child asks for bread, will give a stone? ¹⁰Or if the child asks for a fish, will give a snake? ¹¹If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask him!"
Begin by asking.

What is "The One Command"

"What is TOC?" The simple answer: it is a 6 step process, discovered by Asara Lovejoy, that opens your awareness to amazing untapped capacities you have right within you.  It is an invitation to enter into powerful portions of your mind that contain extraordinary abilities.  It brings forth the greatness we all have, that is easily enjoyed, while doing this powerful system of The One Command.

So what are these 6 easy to learn steps? It starts with Grounding ourselves with our body and the earth.   Next we Align ourselves with the energy field around us.   Then we lower our brain wave into the Theta state. We then issue the command which is composed of 3 parts:  
       Part 1 is the beginning of TOC: I don't know how I,   
       Part 2 is what we want. i.e. have $10,000 in the bank.   
       Part 3 is the blessing:  "I only know that I do now and I am fulfilled."

After issuing the command and integrate it into ourselves through visualization, we then expand.  We expand on the greater capacity that we are and lastly we Receive and express gratitude.

These six steps take us to our greatest capacity as earthly beings. Many of you are familiar with "The Secret" and through this movie or book you were introduced to the Law Of Attraction.  The LOA says that "We will attract into our experience that with which we are in vibrational resonance."

Everything in this Universe - even that which appears to be empty space - is Energy. That includes you, me, the chair, and even  (especially) your thoughts and feelings.  You know...atoms, molecules, subatomic particles...that kind of "quantum stuff."   When something vibrates at a certain frequency, it naturally resonates with and ATTRACTS things with the same frequency.   Basically you need to get your vibrations to what it is that you want.
 
However most of us do not know how to do this.  We have desires and requests but most of us got the same life we had.   So how do we get ourselves to send out the great vibrations that bring us the life we want without hard work.  Why do people seem to fail when it comes to activly dealing with the Law of Attraction.

All of the common methods depend on our beta, logical, problem solving, reality brain to assist us in making the change.   How can you affirm that you have $10,000 in the bank when you only have $100? How can you say you are living in a certain house when you are in an apartment?  Our mind will not allow us to feel like it can be so.  That is the wonder of TOC it bypasses the beta mind.

By saying "I don’t know how" we immediately disengage the Beta brain and allows it to relax. You basically said I am not going to worry about how I have it because I don't have a clue how but I do.  Also our subconscious mind hears "I know how", (it eliminates the don't) because we do, deep down in our consciousness we know how.  "I only know that I do now" allows our mind to know that this is so.   Doing this allows our minds and body to vibrate with the knowledge that we are capable of anything. We are capable of having $10,000 in the bank or the home of our dreams.  While issuing the statement we do not have to be concerned with how it will happen but we know it is so now.

Did God say: Let there be light by doing, this and this and then this and this?  No, He spoke and it was so.  We have been endowed with the ability to ask for and receive our desires.  I will talk more about this in another entry.

Learning and practicing The One Command you will put The Law of Attraction on steriods.
 
Until Next Time.

My Journey in Manifesting My Destiny

I will be sharing my wonderful experiences of being the person I am. What do I mean by the person I am. The truth is that I am who I am. God told Moses to tell the Pharoh that "I Am" sent him because God exists and He is who He chooses to be.

We are all who we choose to be. We make a choice, whether we think we are or not. Even if we don't make a choice, we have made a choice to not to choose. When we decide that something is not possible, it isn't. If we decide that something is possible it is. We make our own world.

Have you made your own world the one that you want or are you struggling with many things in life? Are you blaming your circumstances, your parents, the universe, the guy across the street?

My discovery started by realizing that "I am the master of my fate." I knew on some level that I had control of my life. I just didn't know how. As I began my journey I found the information to grow. I was led to read "The Secret." On some level I knew it was about the law of attraction but I didn't fully understand how this law worked in my life. I am now learning more and more each day and I am full of excitement and as I write I will share that knowledge and excitement with one and all.
