Life is really quite simple when you understand the rules, and quite baffling when you don't. If you have the presence of mind to learn the rules and apply them, you will stand out above the rest as everything clicks into place. Before we get started, ask yourself why you want anything in life. What do you think it will give you? If you search your feelings you have to come to the conclusion that it is because you think that it will make you feel better in some way or other. You also know, deep down, that unless you follow your life dreams and goals, you will never be truly happy.
Life is really quite simple when you understand the rules, and quite baffling when you don't. If you have the presence of mind to learn the rules and apply them, you will stand out above the rest as everything clicks into place. Before we get started, ask yourself why you want anything in life. What do you think it will give you? If you search your feelings you have to come to the conclusion that it is because you think that it will make you feel better in some way or other. You also know, deep down, that unless you follow your life dreams and goals, you will never be truly happy. The bad news is that you can never regress in life and be a happy person. When you have identified something that you want, you have to move towards that goal or you will feel not feel joyful. Life causes you to expand, to want more, to become more than you were before. You may keep up with this expansion and you may not, it is really up to you. Some go along with the expansion willingly, and live happy lives as a result. Others are more reluctant as they feel the tension between their desires and the life they are living, and they inherently know they should be the expanded evolved person they want to be. If you have powerful desires in life, and fail to keep up with them, you may choose to numb out the pain with some kind of behaviour or substance, or you may choose to end the pain and your life, by checking out early. Some people who fail to keep up with their expanded selves come to the conclusion that the trick is to limit their own desire, as that was what they concluded was causing the pain in the first place. It wasn't desire per se, just their inability to keep up with their desire. They might become spiritualists who declare that one should want for nothing, and that the lusting after material possessions is wrong. Whatever they decide, it is their inability to keep up with their life's work that causes their pain, and they can only be truly joyful if they follow their dreams. 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 It may sound paradoxical, but the only way to become self-empowered is actually to relinquish attempted control of the outside world and look inside yourself for answers instead. By seeking and attaining control of the way you feel (the only thing you truly have any control over), you are living the unconditional love that so many spiritual teachers through the ages have spoken of. Unconditional love says "I'll feel good regardless of what the conditions are, and I will love you regardless of what you might do or how you might be, because it feels natural to be loving towards you, and 'off' to be unloving towards you. I direct my thoughts in a way that I feel good. It may seem like a sacrifice, but I am doing it for me, not for you." Conditional love says "When I see things I like, I feel good and when I see things I don't, I don't. So I need you to behave in a way that pleases me, never mind what pleases you." So how can we live unconditional love and free ourselves and others to live joyous lives? By giving people the benefit of the doubt. By accepting that people are doing their best, by accepting that most of them don't know the rules, and likely couldn't hear it if we spoke it to them. By being who we really are; love. Unfortunately the majority are trained away from their own true power as they grow up surrounded by people who are living conditional love. These well meaning caregivers need others to modify their behaviour in order for them to feel good. Unfortunately for you this trains you away from the only important thing in life; the way that you feel. The only thing of any importance to you, is the way that you feel. It determines everything that comes to you. Everything else really is irrelevant. So to get to this point where you can control the way you feel, and therefore how the world responds to you, you need to understand where your emotions come from and why they are so important to you. What are the rules of this game we call life? Page one: How does life relate to you? Are you getting what you want in life? What determines one person's success or personal achievement over another's? How do some people live charmed lives while other struggle and seem to get nowhere? Is life all about luck or chance, and do we need to redistribute the world's wealth to make things more even? How is it possible to make sense of such a large and complicated system? 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. The Law of Attraction is the manager of all things. All things are vibrational, not just here, but everywhere both physical and non-physical. And it's fair to say that if you are going to have a joyful life, you probably would benefit from understanding how it works. Law of Attraction matches up like and like things. The expression 'Birds of a Feather Flock Together' is a demonstration of the law. We attract to us things which are of similar essence? But similar in what way? It you consider your brain as a radio receiver and transmitter, with the ability to tune in to unlimited frequencies. Good feeling happy high flying thoughts have high frequencies and bad feeling, sad, depressing thoughts have low frequencies. When we tune into these frequencies, law of attraction will match us up with the frequency to which we are tuned. Tune to love and see the love in the world. Tune to beauty and see how much beauty there is in the world. Tune to abundance and see the natural abundance in the world. Of course the same goes for the negatives of all of these things, but I wouldn't recommend you look for those. It's not that these things have been created by your thoughts. They were there all along, it's just that you can see them now that you are tuned into their frequency. You have rendez vous'd with them. 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.
