Default The Law of Creation

The LoA is actually the law of creation. You use it 24/7 and it can't be turned off ever, it's not a happy drug or something you can use to get stuff only when you want good stuff, you're using it always, the good, the bad, the ugly, it's all of your creation.

You do create some pretty crappy stuff, but that's because as a growth experience you can only ever appreciate the good stuff because you know what bad stuff is like. How could you know love without knowing hate, wealth without poor.

Once you understand that, then you can start to create the life you want. Say to yourself "I create this now, I create this life, this tree, this love, this money, this body" take full responsibility for everything and you'll truly see how powerful you are.

If you don't accept responsibility then you will be a victim of life and circumstance always wondering "why does this stuff happen to me" You can't have the LoA or the LoC just when it suits you, it's not a magic bean you can use, it's 24/7.

Accept the challenge, accept the power, understand how and why it works and use it to your full advantage.

It's all you Baby!!

Enjoy!!

LoA is good and fine... but don't forget that "faith without work is dead..."

If you just sit on your butt and try to create.... you will end up on welfare with a sore butt...

No, what you're talking about is denial, denial of power, denial of responsibility. You can sit on your butt and create all sorts of things, it's a perception that believes that work, hard work, a certain level of work creates a certian level of creation.

Denial is the biggest enemy of true self of true power.

Enjoy!!

Because of all the choices of the slices of infinity all around you, continual and never-ending..............you're still creating as you're sitting on your butt.

It doesn't stop, just because you're sitting on your butt !


How do you think the tibetan monks in the Himalayas sat in freezing weather, while scientists busily keep throwing water soaked towels over the monks, because every fifteen minutes the towels are bone dry?

Shamou, not being disrespectful. But yeah it's documented. If you want Google it.

Very elegant way out...

I may Google to see if Santa Claus really exist and if Elvis is still alive... but, I don't think I'll try my luck with your towel drying monks...

You and I think a lot alike, my friend. I just finished reading The Secret, which foregoes scientific analysis in favor of entertainment and motivation. Was it a good book? Sure. Do I agree with many of its points? Yes. Am I convinced that the law of attraction operates on a metaphysical level, as its proponents claim? Well... I'm not so sure.

My feeling is that an in-depth, scientific explanation of the law of attraction would have been harder to write, harder to read, and harder to sell. So I suppose we are left to find other sources of information if we want to explore further.

I am neither for nor against the law of attraction, but I recognize many possible explanations for its practice (and perceived success) within the field of psychology, such as selective retention. And there is no denying that positive thought may motivate us to take positive action, which can lead to positive results.

There are a handful of paragraphs within The Secret that mention the importance of "taking action," but the book focuses on the metaphysical powers of thought, so that's what people take away from it.

By the way, Shamou, I actually saw a documentary once that depicted the towel drying monks. I'm not kidding. It was one of the most incredible things I'd ever seen. The monks were kneeling in the snow in weather that was said to have been cold enough to cause a man to freeze to death, and the documentary suggested that the power of their thoughts kept them warm. But here's the rub: the world is full of charlatans trying to sell things to the naive, and I do not know whether this documentary was made honestly. If it was real, it's incredible. But I have no idea.

Psychology Today: Welcome to the Mind-Body Revolution

Last two paragraphs:

Quote:
Westerners have viewed Tibetans as Mind-Body Masters on the World's Rooftop ever since French pilgrim Alexandra David-Neel secretly entered Lhasa and returned bearing stories of monks sitting in the snow, drying water-soaked sheets on their naked bodies (a feat she puckishly filed under "psychic sports"). More than a decade ago, Harvard cardiologist Herbert Benson, M.D., best known for his best-seller, The Relaxation Response, on the medical effects of meditation, decided to investigate.

With the Dalai Lama's blessing, he wired up monks in India's northern foothills with electronic measuring devices while they performed their sheet-drying stunt. To his amazement, their skin temperature rose as much as 17 degrees above normal, even though in such near-freezing weather the body invariably routes blood from the periphery to keep core organs warm. "If an ordinary person were to try this," Benson says, "they would shiver uncontrollably and perhaps even die. But here, within three to five minutes, the sheets started to steam and within 45 minutes were completely dry."
I can't find too much info about this on the net, but this seems to be a credible link/article.

I think that many people don't see this because the perceive and believe that creation requires effort to obtain results. This is how it is in the physical realm yes...but you MAX aren't talking about physical creation...

...rather you are referring to imaginative creation which hasn't much to do with physical effort.

on the physical realm we think of "Creative" energy as imagination put into form through physical effort - that can be painting a picture, creating a website, writing a book, or a million other things, but it all requires us to interpret imagination through a physical process.

Imaginative or divine creation is the process of actually Imagining something that wasn't part of your physical reality and manifesting it into form. It is totally impossible to learn this type of creation while clinging to the "rules" of physical reality and effort.

Beautifully said John…

As a Chiropractor I have attended well over a hundred seminars and talks about our innate power of attraction… and I have seen it work for myself and for others… many of us have attracted wealth and a good life… but none of us have been able to part the Red Sea… only Charlton Heston can pull that stunt…


However, when that “power to create” is pushed to the limit… it seems obvious to me that it does more arm than good for the people who could be influenced by that line of thinking…

LoA is an excellent tool… however it has to be kept in its right perspective…

And… as far as those monks are concerned… even if it was demonstrated in a documentary… I take it the same way that I would any great show performed by a magician… he makes you think that he just sawed the lady in two… but… we know better…

I disagree.
Eventually it'll do more good then harm.

We get burned along the way, but we learn.

So you're saying the Tibetan monks have little heaters hidden from the Scientists....?

I'm confused, Shamou.

Yeah - Max, what have you created? How have you applied your own ideas to your life?

Philosophies are easy to come by. Application is a totally different story.
