The Law Of Attraction And Creation

I’ve always been fascinated about who made the things you attract through the Law Of Attraction.

Law Of Attraction states you attract into your life whatever holds a similar vibration with your vibration. And I can confirm from my personal experience that this is all true. But from where do you attract that? Who did those things? Who are those persons you attract? Who made that car of your dreams? The house you want? How the person of your heart become that person?

In all Law Of Attraction descriptions I saw so far, behind this stuff is “the Universe”. Hold an abundance mindset and the Universe will obey. Hold a good vibe and you’ll attract good vibes from the Universe. Be kind and the Universe will respond in kind.

But who’s the Universe, after all? That was something that was on my mind for some time now.

The Attraction Process

Several weeks ago I intended to get more involved more in the local (meaning Romanian) entrepreneurship community. I felt the need to be part of other online projects, or to create something from scratch, this time more like an investor than an entrepreneur. I haven’t had any idea about how I was going to do that. I didn’t even know if there was a local entrepreneurship community which could help me manifest my intention.

At that time, while reading my twitter timeline, a bunch of tweets about an open weekly event drawn my attention. The event was called OpenCoffee and seemed like something that I could use. It was a weekly open gathering in which people were presenting online projects. I knew that those tweets were suddenly visible for me because I took some action to support my intention. And I knew that the event was exactly what I searched for.

I attended a few times and in a matter of weeks I found some interesting people with great ideas and skills. I’m still in the process of clarifying what I am going to do, but the process of getting involved in the entrepreneurship community is already started. The attraction process was completed.

Somebody Created That

Now back to our post subject: OpenCoffee was there before me. Somebody else made that event. Some people gathered together and started a thing for young entrepreneurs. It was already there. All I did was to attract it.

Most of the things we want are already there. Somebody else created them before. We’re only attracting them. I consider this to be one of my most important discoveries in regard with Law Of Attraction. Why? Because it drastically shifts my focus from an abstract concept of the Universe to a more practical and in-the-moment concept of human powered reality.

We live in a world of creation. We, people, mastered the art of modifying our environment in an unprecedented way. We create. We give birth to thousands of worlds each day. We’re aggregating distinct pieces of information and matter and put them in incredible forms of living energy. And all of these things we create are there not only for us but for everybody who wants them.

You Create For Others

If you create something beautiful for yourself chances are that somebody else will attract your thing too. If you do something good for yourself, chances are that you will increase the overall vibration of good stuff on a larger scale. Somebody else will feel that too. We’re not isolated and the Universe is not a black box from which we extract our happiness. We’re connected in an ocean of interactions and we create with every word and action.

Sure, it is very important to hold good intentions, to change your thoughts and visualize your goals. But in the process, you are also creating your own life as you go. And what you actually do – besides visualizing and changing your thoughts – has an equal impact to the reality. Because it is a part of the reality. What you do is on the same level with what you think. The creative process is taking place at all levels.

Everything we do has a purpose, everything. And everything we want has a correspondence somewhere. Somebody else had this vibration before, created something and now you will attract that something. If you’re waiting for the person of your dreams, you’ll find that her dreams were about you too. If you’re waiting for the house of your dream, you’ll find that somebody else had the same dream about building that house.

The Choice

You can create both good and bad things, with the same ease. This is entirely your choice. Your creativity is not bounded in any way. You have unlimited power and you can use it as you see fit: you can create good or bad things. But according to the Law Of Attraction, your bad creation will be attracted at some point by other people who hold bad vibrations, the same way like your good creation will be attracted by somebody who holds a good vibration. It’s a huge magnetic field which doesn’t give much about our concepts of good or bad. Whatever vibration you hold, that you will attract. And what you attract must be there before, must be created by somebody else.

If you chose to create only a certain type of things, you will automatically discard the other type. It’s simple arithmetic. If you populate your reality with good stuff, you will create more matches for other people’s good vibrations. If you chose to create lower vibrations stuff, you will feed goals and expectations of people with lower vibrations. And that’s fantastic, you know? Because it proves it’s in your power to increase or decrease the good vibrations around you. If you chose only good stuff, you’ll feed only good people’s intentions.

Well, you may not notice this instantly, you may still encounter a lot of low vibrations people in your life, but the creative process is already started. Sooner or later, the balance will incline. Sooner or later, the amount of good stuff you created will start to feed other people’s desires and that will eventually leave no room for bad things.

I know this sounds pretty simplistic and I also know we may have very different moral concepts of good or bad. Those are just technical terms used to model and describe a process which does not have any moral characteristic. The attraction will occur without a moral filter: if you hold a certain type of vibration, you will attract that type of reality regardless of its moral code. Good or bad are used here only as contrasting items, I could have used as well black and white.

Leveling Up

The implications of the creative process, as subtle as they may seem at a first glance, are fundamental. Because everything is falling into places, creating a bigger and more congruent picture around what we called so far the Universe.

If you have a personal mission and believe in it with all your heart, then do it. Follow your dreams, because they’re part of something bigger than you. Somebody else will need what you do. Don’t run for a walked path, walk your own. In the process of creating your own path, you will also create things that somebody else wants. You may not even know that there is such a person. You may not even find out if what you did had an impact on somebody else. All you can do is to focus on giving your best.

I don’t really know you, the reader. I don’t know your dreams, your goals, what makes you happy. But I write this as if I would. I share this experience like we’re already friends. Like I know you will need some answers about Law Of Attraction sometimes. All I do is write my answers for you.

And you, in turn, without knowing me, could do something that will fundamentally benefit me. I don’t know how and what, all I know is that if you’re following your dreams and create something from your heart, it will reach me at some point. Some desire of mine will be fulfilled at some point by something you did.

And this puts us all on the same level. We’re both builders and users. We’re building dreams and using realities.

The Universe is just us. Every bit of us.

The Gratitude Experiment – Conclusions

After almost a month since I started it, it’s time for me to write the conclusions for my gratitude experiment. Some of you may already have read a follow up on this but now it’s time to write the full conclusions. For those of you who came here directly I will shortly outline the core of the experiment, if you want to know more feel free to read the first and the second post.

Too keep a long story short: this gratitude experiment consisted in daily writing in a journal the things for which I am grateful. Being quite a geek in some areas, I chose to do this using some advanced technology like an iPhone and a specific application designed apparently exactly for that, a gratitude journal. Of course, if you ever want to start something similar you can do it with pen and paper, this is not even remotely about technology. It’s about you.

Gratitude Is Acknowledgement

It’s pretty difficult to define gratitude because of a strong cultural connotation caused by religion and / or spirituality. Gratitude has a lot to do with those areas, but it’s not entirely tied up to them. I think gratitude is only overlapping with those areas, is not contended by them. Every time you want to talk about gratitude you feel a little discomfort because it tends to take you out of the normal, day to day routine and put you into some serious and rigid realms like religion or spirituality.

We’re conditioned to perceive religion and spirituality as serious, almost limiting domains, some places where you should behave with humility, strive harder and generally lose all the fun in the life. Redemption, guilt or excessive frugality are common ground for all major religions and so we tend to act a little bit cautious toward it, unless of course, we do have a daily religious routine and we’re placing it very high in our value scale.

But gratitude is not only religion. In fact, gratitude is so flexible and versatile that sometimes appears to me to be quite the opposite from the fixed paths of religion. Gratitude is your way to tell the Universe it has been good to you. It’s an acknowledgment, it’s a confirmation you send back. It doesn’t have to be in a fixed form, nor to be contained in any ritual or structured philosophy. All it takes is to be honest. (more…)

2008 – The Outcome

With only one week left until the official end of the year, I don’t think I’ll have much time to wrap up some of the goals I’ve set for 2008. With an early holiday already started on December 20th I don’t have my focus on achievement monitoring also. So, I guess it’s time to write about how 2008 went for me. I’ll share something with you in the very beginning of this post: I’m somehow scared. I just reviewed my goal list for this year, a list written on the last days of 2007, and I’m amazed how much I accomplished.

First and foremost, this was my best financial year ever. I know this sounds a little bit shameless in the context of a global financial crisis, but I honestly don’t care. I just had my best financial year ever, and the fact that there is also a crisis playing around outside has nothing to do with it. Or with me. Or whatever. This year I made the exit for the company I set up 10 years ago and this was a huge leap forward for me. No need to hide this. It’s not only the financial freedom involved, but much more than that. The financial freedom was only a proof for something much bigger. More on that later, let’s take it the old “step by step” style for now.

As I told you, I am amazed of how much I accomplished, but also I’m somehow scared. I know I should be happy, but I’m still scared. We often function on lower expectancies and when things are coming to us in full flavor, shaped and behaving like we expected them to be, we tend to back up. This is how I feel right now. I feel like “wow, I really did it!”. I’m sure you felt this before, you know how it is. A feeling of satisfaction mixed with a strong vibration of “I just can’t believe this”.

Well, enough with emotions let’s get factual. I won’t give you any exact numbers on my goals. I don’t think the numbers are important, but the commitments are. The list I’ve made for 2008 was made up of 3 sections:

• personal
• professional
• joy

At that time I was still managing Mirabilis Media, the company I’ve created 10 years ago, so my personal and professional path were still pretty mixed.

Personal Goals

The thing that was most important for me on the personal level was my financial income. I don’t think I feel the same way now. But at that time seemed like a priority. I set up a pretty high mark on that. And I did it. Of course, the exit from my company was the key factor in that. Most of my income is now based on that exit.

The second thing was my health, at that time. I’ve set up goals for exercising more (30 minutes per day) and for eating healthier (eating raw food at least two days per week). For the exercise part, I made it for about 1 and a half month from the total of 12 months. For the eating habits, I made it for almost 5 months. But I managed to remain on a raw food eating habit and that is fantastic. Now really, it’s a breakthrough in terms of personal development, no need to hide this.

The third goals was about Bianca’s day care. We managed to have her signed up for the next year, but I think I can safely check this as done, because we did it very well. We both like that specific day care facility and we’re both happy we managed to have her signed up. (more…)

Law Of Attraction And Action

Everybody talks about it. Everybody seems to know everything about it and I guess every second there is another post on some blog about The Law Of Attraction. I first heard about it when I saw The Secret, 2 years ago. I was touched by the movie and I was lucky enough to have already seen What The Bleep Do We Know, so I was somehow prepared for more. The movie had quite an impact on me. I do plan to write more about the movie later on, including about what I call the “too-sweet-for-me-layer-of-consumerism” that surrounds the much more difficult to ingest core of the film. But for now I’d like to share some of my opinions about The Law Of Attraction and what makes it really work for you. And that would be: Action.

First of all, The Law Of Attraction wasn’t discovered with The Secret. It was there all the time, only with different names. I guess every major religion had a way to convey this: “as above, so beneath”, “what’s inside is outside”, and so on. So it’s not a major breakthrough of the movie. The major breakthrough of the movie was the fact that was able to communicate it in a very simple way to a massive audience. That was the real hit behind The Secret.

Second, The Law Of Attraction works whether you are aware of it, or not. That’s pretty clear for you when you first understand it and then try to remember your life. It’s like somebody has lit a torch in front of you. It suddenly becomes clear. Your whole life revealed to you in such a simple and logical structure, that you could never use another way to describe it. It always works, whether you are aware of it or not.

What Is The Law Of Attraction?

It’s the fact that everything you think becomes reality. Everything you want becomes reality. Everything you intend becomes reality. It’s the proof that you are of divine essence, being able to create your own universe.

Everything you do, think or intend, has a vibration. Your body has a vibration. Your thoughts are carrying a vibration, and I mean the physical electromagnetic charges that are composing the synapses. Your brain works on 4 different brainwaves, from alertness to sleep. You communicate by using air vibrations called words. Everything around you is vibration, even if the scientific tools are sometimes too obtrusive to measure it, like in thoughts or intentions.
