Afraid of using LOA.

[MichaelAnthony]

I have a concern I have been dealing with for a long time and I really want it adressed....

Lets say you have a desire such as for instance, manifesting $1,000,000.00 (A very common goal for most people studying LOA ).

You apply the LOA techniques that have been working for so long and are certain its right around the corner...

Then your in a serious accident and are paralized from the waist down and are involved in a long term multi-million dollar lawsuit...and eventually you get your million dollars..

OR your parents are killed in a car accident and from a will and insurance you get a million dollars...

Or any number of morbid possibilites...


My point is I know sometimes the Universe has multiple routes it can use to bring you something..How can you avoid manifesting potentials that result in the "be careful what you wish for" thing and bring results in a peaceful , harmless way?

[The Probabilist]

It's part of your intention that it isn't through bad occurrences that you manifest what you want.

"In an easy and relaxed manner,
in a healthy and positive way,
in its own perfect time,
for the highest good of all,
I intend $1,000,000 to come into my life and into the lives of everyone who holds this intention."

Visualize yourself recieving the money in ways that make you happy and fullfilled. Something that makes you feel good inside.

Flowdreaming - A Radical New Technique for Manifesting is a technique I use for my manifesting. It's been working so far.

The only way you can do this is if you have receiving money linked to loss. You may or may not, I can't tell. It has to be in your belief system for it to happen.

Is that the only way you can see yourself receiving money? Can you win the lottery, get it as a gift, have it fall from the sky, rob a bank, etc??? What other options are in your beliefs??

And don't you never, ever think about something bad! You might kill somebody because of these thoughts!

[ethereal]

the thing is, we're already using LOA whether we know it or not. our unconscious programs are running in the background creating the experiences we have right now. and quite a lot of it is bad, thus generating the experiences we have right now to learn the karmic lessons we need to learn.

i think one is comforted to know that a powerful loving thought is far more powerful and overcomes fearful negative thoughts (see david hawkin's books reg. this). it's the spiritual intent behind affirmations/LOA that gives it the power, not the techniques themselves. the technique only strengthens our beliefs and channels our intent in easier ways.

use it like prayer, surrender your intentions to god and let the universe handle it in the best way possible tune into your higher self or to god and let them guide you and act through you.

i don't have personal experience to back it up, but i think if something bad is coming up due to the path you're taking, you'll definitely get warning signs from your higher self to nudge you back onto the right path, before something bad actually happens. can anybody confirm that for me? do you have to be more intuitive to recognize it, or is it fairly obvious?

also, check out these links, i think they explain the whole thing pretty well. a lot of it makes sense, but some of it is out there, a lot of esoteric info. take what works:

The Law of Attraction is a Law like the Law of Gravity. It's a natural thing. Built in. It's always operational. You don't turn it on and off, like you don't turn gravity on and off. It's a Law.

The idea is that once you are aware of it, and what is, and has been happening in your life, you become a concious creator vs a creator that is unaware of what has been going on. You are then able to use your built in guidance system (your feelings, and emotions), and you master control of these, hence, yourself, and your life.
You can deliberatley choose what you think about, and how you feel.
When you are creating according to your hearts desires (well-being) you feel good. This lets you know you are on course.
When you are creating out of line with your hearts desires(well-being) you feel bad. This is your signal that you are off course, so you have ample time to adjust your thinking, and your mood to bring yourself back on course to feeling good, which lets you know you are back on course.
In your post, you expressed fear, and you detailed some of those fears, so that is already letting you know you are off course.
Choose to think about goodness. Positive, and loving things with great feelings of gratitude. Gratitude of what you have, and good people in your lives, and the wonderful things you share with them. All the laughter you have. Appreciation, helps to disolve fear.
Get into a mentality of abundance, and don't believe the lie, which is that there is not enough to go around. It's a lie.
Many choose to believe the lie, and they remain in a mentality of lack, and this only causes worry, and fear. The vicious cycle.
The truth is, there is more than plenty. More than enough. The abundance of goodness is truly over flowing, constantly.
Do these things, and all the rest will automatically be added to you. This is from the Bible. Don't worry about how you will get money, or things. Focus on goodness, and appreciation, and goodness comes. This will become your experience, instead of fear. The old life fades away, and the new life begins to fill in.
Have you seen the movie, "The Secret"? It does a really nice job of explaining the Law of Attraction, and how it works.
Many have lots of arguements concerning the law, but, if you want change, and you want self-control, freedom, and more, it's really very easy.
What do you want? More of the same? That fear you expressed, that is your current reality? Or do you want better, for you and your loved ones.
Make it so.

let me take a stab at this.... for what its worth. Your assumptions appear to me to be at odds. Your underlying belief may be that you believe the only way to achieve a million dollars is through some bad occurance... a belief that one possible path to a million dollars is through a tragedy or loss. Sure it's possible but the real question IMHO is the belief you have behind your question. Peel the onion... Good luck

[Acting Like Godot]

Another way you can tackle this problem is to visualise your life, as a whole, being the way you want it to be.

In other words, you could visualise a day in your perfect life. Where you are healthy ... and you have lots of money ... and you feel happy ... and your loved ones are well ... and your relationships are loving ... and your job is fun ..... and you are ________ ...... and you have ________ ....

Michael,

I think the issue is fear.....you are frightened that all these or one of them might happen. But what if you got a million dollars...what would you do then.

If you live in fear, then you can convince yourself never to go out the front door.

On a personal note....I have son, who is the most beautiful wee boy ever....but I can cry myself to sleep thinking that if anything was to ever happen to him I couldn't carry on. If I allowed those thought to be at the centre of my mind I wouldn't take him anyway out of our home or in the car, or even to the park....in case anything happened to him......but I cannot live nor would my son want us to live like that.

I don't want you to live in fear either, so start to think about all the positive thought of manifestation.

Take care and enjoy you IM's

Regards

G

Make sure to stick something in there about positivity being the way that it manifests, that's all.
