-- Part 2 is here
The important point here is that this conscious filtering process (as explained using the example of a time management system at work) can be brought, not just to your work, but to your reality in general.
In fact, Rampage of Appreciation (Process No. 1 in Abraham Hicks) is an example of conscious filtering. For those who don't know, this process is simply about deliberately paying attention to the positive aspects in your life, as you go about your daily routine, and appreciating those positive aspects.
The very fact that you're focusing your attention on positive things means that you're not focusing your attention on negative things. This is an example of conscious filtering.
Now, not all negative things can be easily ignored. And not all negative things should be ignored.
BUT some negative things can be easily ignored, and should be ignored. For example, if you encounter a faceless individual on the Internet who you judge to be rude, hostile etc etc, and you cannot see any benefit in engaging the person, well, this is one example of the kind of situation where you can easily ignore the negative thing.
Now, discussing LOA more generally, and bearing in mind that all of us are ALREADY continuously filtering reality ("letting in" and "shutting out"),
what should we, if we enjoyed a high degree of consciousness, deliberately choose to let in or shut out of our respective realities:
- love or hate?
- happiness / sadness?
- wealth / poverty?
- health / illness?
- harmony / dispute?
- nice people / nasty people?
