Do you really understand LOA?

[jtrikster]

The other day I had a revelation and realized I wasn't seeing my intentions manifested because I just didn't really get it. I wrote about it in a blog and figured I'd share the article in the hopes that you guys will be able to use the information for whatever you're doing.
So give me some feedback because I want to know what you guys think of it.



When I was first introduced to the law of attraction, I was pretty excited because yes I can have whatever I want!!! So I began putting intentions out and I waited for them to manifest themselves. I waited and I waited and then I became frustrated because they weren’t coming true. What the hell? Why haven’t I gotten my chai latte yet?! Okay just kidding I’ve never manifested that. = P

It has occurred to me, today, that it was obvious I was missing something initially. Either intention manifestation was a hoax or I really wasn’t getting it. So to give you some background information on this new revelation I’ve had, right now I’m at Borders listening to Andrew Bocelli and reading a book called The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success by Deepak Chopra. I’m about half way done and it’s been an interesting read. It tells of how I need to be more grateful and that I need to take charge of my karma. “Ya ya cool that’s all nice and dandy.” Right now I’m reading about the Law of Least Effort. At this point I’m just trying to get this book done but then all of a sudden I’m hit by a semi the book drove over me. Everything about intention manifestation makes sense now. I know why it wasn’t working. I’ve realized that I really wasn’t getting it.

This is a direct quote, page 61, “In this joyful, simple freedom, you will know without any doubt in your heart that what you want is available to you whenever you want it, because your want will be from the level of happiness, not from the level of anxiety or fear. You do not need to justify; simply declare your intent to yourself, and you will experience fulfillment, delight, joy, freedom, and autonomy in every moment of your life.”

Do you see what he’s saying? If we want LOA to work, we need to change ourselves first. We need to intend goodness without selfishness. If it’s based off of selfishness, then that means it’s based off of conditionality, fear and anxiety. The actual intention is not necessarily what’s wrong, it’s the motive behind it. If we are able to humble ourselves and become unconditional, then we can have whatever we want!!!

We basically have to reach a certain level of enlightenment. We have to be higher beings. We need to transcend fear and the idea of separateness.I never completely understood why Steve would always try to reiterate ”for the good of all.” (Maybe I missed the blog that explains why…) Now I realize how important it really is.

It’s so liberating to have finally found a way to manifest what I want. I mean, this has given me much confidence in my capabilities and hopefully this will bring up the spirits of those who are struggling. We just have to change ourselves before we can change the reality around us. This makes complete sense because the way our mind works greatly reflections our perception of our reality, which in turn reflects our ability to wield the pure potentiality the world has. We need to be able to really tap into this pure potentiality in order to us it and once we do that, tada!! We have manifestation.

Your half-way there, good job.

jtrikster!

So, now that you know the "secret" could you tell us what you have been able to manifest and obtain so far...???

I keep on hearing new and improved ways of manifesting... but find little evidence of tangible progress from those posters...

Whoa.........Shamou.

Lighten up would'ja?
Give him a break.

You don't just plug in numbers and get the answer and presto, wham bang thank you mam there it is !
This is a process and part of the problem is humans have been thinking very limitedly for how long now?
Thousands and thousands of years, yeah?

Like I said it's a process.

-EDIT-
jtrikster. Great insights, btw.

[jtrikster]

Shamou,
I never said I've found the secret...if you asked me there really is no secret. I have just been learning how to really allign myself with how I think reality works.
Evidence? You want evidence? Well yes I have been successful at manifesting my life, but what does that really matter in the end? How are you going to really know I did all of those things? Seriously, your request for proof is pretty useless because I can make all of it up and you couldn't prove a damn thing.
How about if you get proof by just trying it if you want. It won't kill you right? Sometimes the solution to skepticism is just experiencing it. So if you want to go ahead, if you don't, thats fine too. I'm going to stick to my game plan.

I think that trying to manifest things for just oneself and no one other is as powerful as trying to manifest something for the good of everyone. For more read some of steve's polarization articles.

Those 2 can give you a good picture about what steve means.

I think some of the difficulty for some is approaching the creation process through the Ego. We are conditioned to think through the Ego Mind and thus we hold to such things as memory, logic, cause and effect, and so on.

The creation process is actually a reversal of our traditional cause and effect/linear thinking. Everything emmanates from NOW. We believe that our desires must come into being through some process - some cause which will effect a manifestation.

Truth is your desire is already fulfilled in the NOW, and when you allow and accept that truth you stop trying to make anything happen, you stop wishing, you stop all attempts at control, and you simply KNOW that what you desire IS, then from the NOW (cause) - past and future (effect) are brought into alignment with the present moment.

It is always a choice in the present moment which creates.

Well said! That explains why so many people go around saying things like this:

"The Secret is BS! I've been imagining myself rich, why haven't I got my million dollars yet? dumb, dumb, dumb."

They only want money for their own personal gain. But after reading that Steve says you should always put "for the highest good of all" in every intention, LoA has been working better for me than I ever thought possible.

For instance, in the past week, I made about 5 intentions with this mindset. How many of them have manifested?

All of them.

Just like any other law, the LOA is “stupid.” It does not care, just like gravity does not care. Gravity does not care if you drop an apple from the 60th floor or one-month baby. It treats both the same. It has no concept of “right” or “wrong” – both are completely subjective human constructs.

All laws are “stupid,” they simply do what they have been designed to do. The LOA does not understand “right” or “wrong” either. The LOA simply responds to your “vibration” or “an energy field,” call it what you want. The LOA does not care and does not understand “the motive behind” your intention.

There are no “wrong” or “right” motives or intentions. That is why “bad things” happen to “good” people and vise versa. The LOA does not know what is “good” or what is “bad” – it simply matches predominate intentions.

If you properly “vibrate” happiness, you get happiness. What makes you happy is subjective.

[jtrikster]

Maybe properly "vibrating" happiness is having genuine motives behind it.

Tell me, how do you vibrate what you want properly?

very well stated - there is no right/wrong or good/bad with LOA, it works no matter what you are feeling and regardless of if it is ego-based selfishness, or "for the good of all".

The difficulty lies within the belief in time, effort, causation and so forth.

Exactly!

Energy does not discriminate. If you properly direct energy in a certain direction, it will go in that direction because that is how the law of energy works. The energy is “dumb.” It has no way of knowing that this person is a “good” person and that that person is a “bad” person.

It doesn’t matter who is driving a car. The driver could be the pope, a baby, a nun, a monk, a serial killer, Deepak Chopra, or Wayne Dyer, but every time that car is driven into a wall at 50 mph, it will be badly damaged. Why? Because the law doesn’t care who is driving.

What does “genuine motives” mean? It is subjective. The law does not discriminate. It does not know what is “genuine” and what is not. It is like driving a car. Does your car know or understand what your motives are when you drive it? No, it does not, which is why speeding police cars sometimes kill “innocent” people.

If the law knew or could determine that a speeding police car has a “genuine motive” to catch a “bad” guy and do “the right thing,” it would not kill “innocent” people. But it does not know that. A speeding police car is simply a certain amount of “dumb” energy “pointed” or driven in a certain direction…

“Properly vibrating” means simply driving a car, without any doubt, fears, or subjective believes that it will obey your input.

Your only job is to focalize and express your desires to (God, the universe, consiousness, formless intelligence, Energy, whatever you want to call it).

It's something special to see/experience, once your awareness is high enough to see/experience it...
