When we start paying more attention to our energy and thinking more deeply about teachings like the law of attraction, there can be a tendency to wonder how other people have managed to manifest what they have, especially since they aren\u2019t doing the \u2018work.\u2019 On top of that, they seem to be so negative, yet they manifest \u2018good\u2019 things. How does that happen? How unfair is that shit? There was no mention of fairness in Megan\u2019s question&#8211;that is my own addition because that is usually what we are thinking, am I right? \ud83d\ude09<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I hope this email finds you well. I was wondering maybe if you had written a blog post about this already or if not, maybe you know where to direct me. I was thinking about people who work themselves up about their grades and are the type of people who always worry they failed a test or did bad on a paper, and they talk about how stressful everything is, but they end up doing fine &#8211; better than fine most of the time! I&#8217;ve known several people like this throughout my years as an undergraduate and now as a grad student. How does that work with the law of attraction? We usually get negative results if we are always putting negative energy into things, and vice versa (unless there are hidden subconscious beliefs)&#8230;so why do these people see positive results when it seems like they have such a negative outlook?<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Megan<\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So here are some of my thoughts on that.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our Vibration is a Complex Mix of Energies<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first thing we have to understand is our vibration is a complex mix of energies&#8211;it is comprised of a whole bunch of feelings and beliefs. It tends to get oversimplified&#8211;a high vibration vs. a low vibration, a negative vibration vs a positive vibration,etc\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most of us have a pretty eclectic mix of \u2018stuff\u2019 and we can\u2019t ever truly know what comprises someone else\u2019s vibration. We don\u2019t even know what\u2019s floating around in ours most of the time! <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When we observe someone\u2019s behaviors or things they say, that is just one small piece of the puzzle. We are filtering that through our own point of view, which just further limits being able to see the whole picture. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We tend to complain a lot, put ourselves down,etc&#8230;because that is the norm, that is our conditioning. But it doesn\u2019t necessarily represent our dominant energy on a particular aspect of our lives or a situation with which we are dealing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, a person who is worrying she failed the test or did bad on the paper is acting out common conditioning that we beat ourselves up, downplay our talents and abilities, or expect we messed things up,etc&#8230;But how she really feels deep down may be very different&#8211;she studied hard for that test and she knows she was well prepared. She knows she is a good writer and killed it on that paper. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No matter how \u2018negative\u2019 someone may seem, or how much he seems to bitch and moan, it is almost certain he is not like that every moment. He may be in a really high vibe when engaging in an activity he really enjoys, \u00a0gets drunk, smokes a big fat joint, eats a delicious meal, hangs out with his best friend or gets laid. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Mechanism of Reality Creation Doesn\u2019t Need Our Conscious Participation<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you were to think back to a time before you knew anything about the law of attraction, I am sure you manifested plenty of wanted experiences. You were creating your reality by default rather than deliberately, but that doesn\u2019t automatically mean you were manifesting nothing but crap. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You likely picked up many beliefs that served you well; you likely had many experiences that cemented \u2018positive\u2019 beliefs. In many situations you had positive expectations things would go your way. You may not have been consciously focusing positively or working on your \u2018energy\u2019 but you also didn\u2019t have a huge amount of resistance either so things turned out \u2018good.\u2019 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is kind of related to the first point I made about our vibration being made up of a whole bunch of energies. When we first start working with a teaching like the law of attraction, it is easy to make the assumption that all the beliefs of which we are not aware must all be \u2018bad.\u2019 But that really isn\u2019t true. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In my own life for example, I always felt super-confident in job interviews, and of all the ones I had ever went on, there was only one where I wasn\u2019t offered the position. I had a weird vibe about it anyway and I wasn\u2019t surprised that is how it turned out. But anyway&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This was not something I consciously \u2018worked on.\u2019 \u00a0Interviewing didn\u2019t make me nervous. I always felt if they were contacting me for an interview, they thought I was someone who could do the job. To me, it meant I was just as good as hired and the interview itself was merely a \u2018formality.\u2019 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There was no visualizing, no affirming, no building momentum behind any particular energies,etc\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I couldn\u2019t pinpoint the exact experience or moment where that belief began to take root or what made me look at things that way, but that was the dominant energy and perspective that sprung up around that particular experience. It wasn\u2019t something I consciously cultivated but it was there nonetheless. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you decide to be more conscious of your energy and go about being more deliberate in creating your experience, that allows you to get \u2018better\u2019 stuff faster and more easily. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is less \u2018effort\u2019 and you don\u2019t have to wade through as much crap to get to the good stuff. The more \u2018positive\u2019 energy becomes more dominant and allows for all sorts of great things to show up, even if your vibration isn\u2019t \u2018perfect.\u2019 <\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You Don\u2019t Know What Other People\u2019s Manifestations Mean to Them <\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember what I said earlier about how we can\u2019t know what\u2019s going on in someone\u2019s energy? Because we can\u2019t know that, we also can\u2019t ever really know what people\u2019s manifestations mean to them. Manifestations always carry unique messages meant just for the receiver, and often are mirroring back a whole variety of things to someone. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A particular manifestation could represent both \u2018positive\u2019 and \u2018negative\u2019 aspects of someone\u2019s energy. I remember years back when I had severe financial issues, I managed to manifest sources of income that had me making more money than I ever made. I certainly raised my vibration around money but it certainly wasn\u2019t \u2018perfect\u2019 and I had plenty of moments of feeling lack, panic and severe fear. Again, perfection not required. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But I also came to realize that manifestation was also showing me that I still needed to do some work on my energy because I didn\u2019t feel any more secure being flush with cash than I did when I was literally living off credit cards and flat broke. I had to really start internalizing that little nugget of wisdom that states security can\u2019t ever be achieved by external means and it has to be something cultivated from within. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A manifestation could be partially what someone wants but also partially what they don\u2019t want and is there to show them what still needs to be \u2018cleaned up\u2019 energetically or to give them further clarity on what they truly want to align with. \u00a0Someone manifests a seemingly awesome job that has a lot of aspects he likes but also contains elements he doesn\u2019t like so much. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The pay is great but he finds he manifested a work environment that makes him feel similar negative feelings he had in his last job. He now realizes that merely changing locations isn\u2019t the answer&#8211;he must go within and see what is being shown to him. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A manifestation that would seem \u2018good\u2019 to someone else because it is something she wants could be mirroring back some sort of limiting belief to the person who manifested this thing. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Someone has a belief that you can\u2019t have everything you want and there will always be compromises and the need to settle for \u2018good enough.\u2019 One way this energy gets mirrored back to her is through relationships. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She never seems to have issues manifesting a boyfriend but she is never truly happy because they are never quite the right match for her, and she tends to overlook a variety of issues because of her belief in having to settle, compromise, and accept you can\u2019t \u2018have it all.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n<p>And if I could give one piece of advice regarding this sort of thing, do your absolute best not to pay too much attention to other people and their manifestations. Like I said before, we will never see the full picture when it comes to someone else&#8217;s energy. On a deeper level, our interest in doing this stems from our mind&#8217;s desire to try and &#8216;figure out&#8217; how manifestation works so it can do it &#8216;right&#8217; and get everything it wants. But it isn&#8217;t something we can do &#8216;right&#8217; or &#8216;wrong&#8217; because creating from energy doesn&#8217;t work that way.<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your Turn<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>What did you think of the post?
