Why the Law of Attraction Isn’t Working for You

Filed under: Joy, Law of Attraction, Manifestation — Tags: , — admin @ 12:57 pm

“If you follow your bliss, you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while, waiting for you, and the life that you ought to be living is the one you are living.   Wherever you are — if you are following your bliss, you are enjoying that refreshment, that life within you, all the time.”

 ~ Joseph Campbell

Follow your bliss…..such wonderful words.  Inspirational as they are, these words also reveal a very important tenet to making the Law of Attraction actually work for you.

If you are among the many who marveled with joy and anticipation upon discovering this most powerful universal law–only to find yourself discouraged and disillusioned by the seeming lack of results from all of your visualizing, dream boards, and affirmations, you could be missing this key element.  Finding your bliss or joy is not the result of the manifestations; rather it is the rocket fuel that actually creates the results. 

Most LOA enthusiasts have this backwards.  They think if they visualize something it will come.  And when it comes, they will be happy. The truth is nothing wanted can come if there is an essence of “later” in the equation.  This is a literal universe, and if the attitude of “I’ll be happy when…” is in the mix, the resulting manifestations will continue to hover in the “later” zone.  What’s more, happiness will continue to elude you, first because you’re waiting on the manifestation that will never come and second, because you have placed a condition of happiness on the outcome of that manifestation…a dead end cycle.  Unless and until you transmit the attractive dual signal that you are actually experiencing the manifestation now AND feeling joy, love or appreciation now, the manifestation cannot come.

Here’s the thing…if you observe what is in your current experience as your reality, it will continue to be your reality.   Visualize your reality as you want it to be and do whatever it takes to get to the feeling place of what that manifestation will mean to you.  Get to the feeling place before you visualize.  Live the feeling place as much as you can.  Make a decision that you will deliberately choose thoughts and actions that lean in the direction of joy.  Do things that bring you joy and don’t feel guilty about it.  Create and frequent environments that bring you joy.  Remember events that have brought you joy in the past.   It doesn’t matter how you get there.  Just get there.   When you get there, do everything you can to stay there. 

Transmit your state of bliss as your predominant state of being and watch the universe match your new “reality” with an even better one.

Unconditional Joy

Unconditional JOY

We speak of unconditional love….the face only a mother could love, the forgiveness extended to the murderer of one’s son, the pure love a dog shows us day in and day out, even after we’ve just yelled at him moments earlier.  The idea of unconditional love is critical to the process of manifestation and getting what we want in that process.  Why is this so? Because placing conditions upon life’s circumstances and how others must behave so we can love them is a form of resistance, a lower vibration that is akin to the frequency of suffering.  Parked at this frequency, nothing we want can come to us.

We have to love all that is, even the things we wish not to experience,  in order to allow the wonderful things we have attracted to manifest in our lives.  Question:  Do you love “God” or “Source” unconditionally? Really think about your answer.  If you’re picking and choosing what to love about life’s circumstances, you’re picking and choosing what to love about God.  If you like the title, “All That Is” for your “Source” or “God,” the literal equivalent is all that is currently manifested in your experience and those around you.  All that is, IS “All That Is” in the divine sense of the words.

We all have the capacity to love unconditionally, but sadly many don’t utilize that capacity.  It is a choice to shift perspective from what is unlovable to what is loveable about a person, place or condition.  It is a choice that is not always easy, but when made results in a massive energy shift.  It is a view through the lens of All That Is, and what follows is a release of resistance resulting immediately in relief.  Relief is always the immediate goal, reaching for a better feeling place,  in order to allow the marvelous manifestations you have attracted that are lingering within your reach.

 Vibrationally speaking, the concept of “Unconditional Joy” is one in the same as “Unconditional Love.”  It is the highest vibrational frequency, the divine domain of miracles.  Unconditional Joy says that one can choose to be joyous no matter the circumstances.  Pollyanna is it may sound, looking at life through “rose colored glasses” is not only a beautiful way to live, but a way of focusing one’s attractive energy toward all things wanted.  When you get to this place folks, and you can stay there most of the time, you are in a position to truly have it  all.  As Wayne Dyer says, “When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.” 

You say, “How can I be joyous when I’m broke, sick, tired, lonely or all of the above?” Firstly, shift your attention away from whatever condition is causing you discomfort or negative emotion.  Then, think of a time you were absolutely filled with joy and the happiest you can remember being.  Feel those feelings intensely.  When you begin to feel the heart based emotion of those feelings, focus them on anything and everything you can appreciate in your life at the present time.  Anything and Everything….the bed you sleep in, running water in your home, the new capabilities and connections technology has brought us, the way your body unconditionally loves you regardless of what you do to it, the ability to focus, the freedom you have, the people in your life, the people coming into your life….you get the idea.  Abraham-Hicks would call this a “rampage of appreciation.”  A “rampage of appreciation” sure sounds better than a “rampage of the crap I’m dealing with today,” and it certainly feels better. 

This is what manifesting and the Law of Attraction is all about—feeling better to allow what you have attracted to manifest into your experience.  Oh and there’s that added bonus of feeling better for the sake of feeling better itself.

Feel better.  The better you decide to feel, the better it gets!
