A teaching like the law of attraction runs very contrary to how we usually go about getting the things we want, how we usually go about creating our experience. The idea that action is not what really creates can be a real head-scratcher. The idea we should let our intuition and feelings determine our actions, that we should only take action that feels good, sounds nice but can be harder to implement in practice.
Podcast #40: Law of Attraction: Let ‘Being’ Pave the Way for ‘Doing’
I’m posting this as a sort of commitment to myself. I need to put my obsession with LOA down, I have decided that if the LOA is real and it works (which i know that it does) then it will keep working even when I am not thinking about it. I have learned alot the past few years, you have helped me be honest with myself about the LOA and made it “not scary” that I will ruin my life if i have an unhappy or fearful thought… and I’m going to take that with me on my LOA vacation, but thinking about it constantly is just another way for me to avoid doing certain things and feeling my feelings, its like i transferred my overthinking and worrying about everyday life and the future over to overthinking and worrying about all my thoughts/feelings/vibration. So I will see you when I get back from my vacation and then I will have plenty of content to catch up on! Thank you for your help.
PS – the day after I decided this i got something i had been wanting to manifest for a while lol – which sent me back on an LOA tangent so I thought I would post this up so that it was sort of official!
Hi Summer
Thank you for sharing this ‘manifesto’ with me and other readers. I think a lot of people will be able to relate to what you are going through. And you are right…the LOA will continue to ‘work’ whether you are giving it your attention or not. It is so important to remember that it is not a tool to be utilized–we make it synonymous with actions like affirmation and visualizing–but it is way of explaining how reality works. We are always creating, whether we are conscious of it or not. If you are feeling a nudge to not read up on it, or ‘do’ anything, follow it. Good luck and I am excited to hear all the good things that happen because of your surrender.
This was a really great one. Thanks.
Hi Andrew
Thanks for your comment and glad you liked it. I think this topic in particular can be really helpful for people as we tend to agonize over the role of action.
