This happened about 100 miles from here last year.
First we're told that we get what we focus on. But this family never focused on this, never thought about it, never feared it, never imagined anything like that could happen to them.
Then we're told that they feared something else, had some other fear of loss or death or whatever. But -- they didn't. Really, they didn't. They were happy and everything was going great. They felt blessed. They were grateful. They did everything right.
Then we're told that subconsciously there must have been something that attracted this experience. Somewhere in their past some idea got buried in their subconscious but it was still there and suddenly blam, out it came.
I mean, no matter what, you can go anywhere with this stuff. If we reduce it down to that a victim attracts a murder even if she never focused on it, never feared it, never imagined it, never thought about it, never had any idea of it, was simply a happy popular fulfilled teenager looking forward to a bright and fun future -- it falls apart. | That's one of the main points I'm trying to get across.
Guys, I've been reading and (tried) applying the law of attraction since mid-2000, so it's not like I just wathed the Secret last week.
Can someone honestly comment the above quote, and where the lie of attraction stands there? |
It's hard to comment on that. Anything "Law of" is denial of creatorship.
So we're starting with a denied sense of self off the bat.
You create all your experience or you do not. If you feel you do not then you'll be a victim to something 'out there'.
Anything 'the universe' gives you or you 'attract' is also denial of creatorship. So there's another layer of hiding within the Law of Attraction.
The Lie of Attraction (that PDF) is BS because it says you're not responsible for any of the ills in your experience. Yes, that's denial of creatorship too.
So can you manifest your own murder unconsciously? YES! It requires a lot of denial and a lot of fear and a closing down of awareness and space. You can do all that and still be unaware you're doing it. And you can look like God's most loved people on the outside!
That is the slick nature of denial. It is DESIGNED so you don't see it. And you can layer it on, deeper and deeper, more and more, all the while having no clue you've just painted yourself into a corner -- so much that the physical body can no longer stay in manifestation.
Your way of leaving of this dimension (murder perhaps) can be a great wake up call to the other parts of self that something has gone horribly wrong. Murder is quite shocking. It really gets our attention more than "he died in his sleep".
But, you know, it wasn't the family's fault they got murdered, it was some crazy psycho. Yeah that's it. Now I don't have to go to that place inside myself and feeeeeeel what's going on with me in the moment. That's what denial is designed to do, hide stuff.
It deadens you when you don't receive your creations. And that lack of reception for your creations and creatorship is
reflected in the outside world. We do get to see what we're focused on. But all that thinking and visualizing, no... just focus on the moment and your experience in the moment. If you want to think about what you want, do that, sure, but then come back to the moment. The moment is more important than your thoughts by far. And your thoughts don't create... so don't fear them. Your thoughts are one way to see a little bit of what's in your consciousness.
