It’s actually simple, when you know how. Learn and accept the rules of the game of life, and play by those rules to get what you want. It’s interesting, because when you actually start to question why you want anything in life, you very quickly come to the conclusion that the reason you want anything more than where you are is because you think you will feel better if you had it. The other thing you quickly realise is that you can’t ever be truly happy unless you make movements towards your desires, towards your dreams out there ahead of you in your future.
The crux of this whole game called life is that you can’t ever go back and be happy. When you’ve become aware that you want more than you have, you will never feel happy unless you can become that new and improved person that you have identified yourself as wanting to be. Life is about expanding, becoming more, and you will be constantly becoming. Whether or not you effectively keep up with your own becoming, is really up to you. Some people allow themselves to go to who they’ve become (richer, more beautiful, more successful, more creative, more loving), and they live joyful lives as a result. Others tend to drag their feet and have lives which are less fun as they feel the tension between their ‘potential lives’ and their ‘reality’. If you want powerfully, and yet fail miserably to keep up with your expansion, the tension becomes unbearable and you tend to block out reality with some substance or bevahiour which diverts your focus, or else you exit the game early.
Some decide that they are incapable of keeping up with their own personal desires, and so they manage the distance between their present life and their desires by trying to limit their desires, by finding and participating in an organisation that agrees with them. But this is never really satisfying, and in any case, life is designed to provoke new desire in you, so you’re going against a powerful force (besides, being a hermit isn’t really that much fun).
On the whole, people don’t understand how they get what they get in life, and in their feeling of powerlessness they seek to think their way out of it. They strive to control the circumstances around them, creating rules and laws and trying to restrict the behaviour of others. If people were self-empowered, they wouldn’t feel the need to legislate against anyone else, as they would understand how everything came to them. You can’t think your way out of it, you have to feel your way
Indeed, its not until you let go of your attempt to control the outside world that you can come into your own power. Look inside yourself and control the way you feel. The great religious teachers all spoke of unconditional love, and this is what they meant. Feel good, regardless of the conditions. Conditional love sounds a bit like this: “I will feel good when I see things which please me, and bad when I see things which don’t”. Unconditional love says ” I will love you regardless of what you do, because love is who I really am, and there is nothing more important than feeling good because when I feel good I am allowing the goodness of life to flow through me, I feel alive and I feel good” How then to practice unconditional love? By giving people the benefit of the doubt, by realising that they are trying their best, that they might be having a bad day, by realising that you’d rather be happy than right, and that ultimately it feels so right to feel good and so wrong to feel bad. It’s no that you’re bad, just that your thoughts in that moment are. When your mother scolded you when you were young and called you bad, your bad feeling wasn’t because you were bad, but because your thoughts of yourself (which you got from your angry mother) were so far from what you really know to be true, that you felt the dissonance.
Sadly the majority of people get socialised into listening more to others than to their own inner voice and strength, as those who surround them look to control the behaviour of the outside world so they can feel better. This is unfortunate, because the only truly important thing for you to do whilst you’re here in this physical life experience is to stay feeling good. How you feel is crucial; it determines everything that comes to you in life. In order to get to the point where you can control the way you feel, and therefore what comes to you in life, you need to have a greater understanding of your emotions, and why they are so important
Do you understand this game called life? How the world addresses itself to you? How you get or don’t get what you get in life? How is it that some are wildly successful and others live lives of mediocrity? Why are some people rich beyond your wildest dreams and other work so hard and earn but a pittance? Is life a game of chance, and is there any benefit in working hard? How do we make the world a fairer place for everyone living here? Do we need to change the systems we currently have in place?
There are a lot of questions here. But where to begin? Firstly, stop trying to think your way out and start to feel your way along the path. Your emotions are more powerful guidance than you probably realise; and if you can understand and use them effectively, they will guide you towards everything that you want in life. Anyway, before we talk about emotions, let’s talk about the Law of Attraction.
Law of Attraction takes care of orchestrating all things in life; matching up like and like vibrations in both physical and non-physical realities. It is fair to say that it’s worth knowing about (it’s really the only law worth talking about). Have you heard the expression “Birds of a Feather Flock Together”. This is what law of attraction does. It matches up like and like vibrations; essentially we attract to us things that are similar to who we are. Similar? In what way?
Every time you think, you are tuning in to a thought frequency, a bit like a radio station, and Law of Attraction will match you up with things that match that radio station or frequency. This is where the phrase ‘you get what you think about’ comes from. Give your attention to anything for any length of time, and tune into that radio frequency, and start to see the equivalent frequencies come to you in your life. It’s not that they weren’t there before, just that you couldn’t see them, because they were on a different frequency, on a different vibe. High flying positive joyful thoughts are of a high vibrational frequency, and low, negative, depressing, angry, vengeful thoughts are of a much lower vibrational frequency.
So how does Law of Attraction apply to the real world? If I behave ‘as if’ I’m successful, will I become a success? Well, not necessarily. The Law of Attraction matches you up with things which match the way you feel about ‘those subjects’ in your life. If you feel successful, then Law of Attraction will match you up with situations which feel that way. If you only act or use words to pretend you are successful, but you still feel like a failure, then you cannot achieve success until you start feeling successful. You might even be a success in the eyes of others, but not in your own eyes. Feel the way you want to be, and let Law of Attraction bring you everything you want.
