LOA: to be?
One thing deeply integrated into the by Karma Art Shop is spirituality -- in this blog we'll talk about the concept that began everything for me: the law of attraction.
I found out about the law of attraction very randomly but was immediately intrigued. The concept is pretty simple: we attract experiences in our lives through our thoughts, feelings, words, and actions. That's why people focus on using affirmations: to aid in the process of attracting what they want.
The law of attraction tells us that everything that has happened in our life has been our own doing through reinforcing beliefs. If you often say, "things just don't go right for me" and reinforce that through strong feelings and beliefs as well as saying it in the moment when something negative happens, then situations will continue to arise in your life where "things just don't go right." If you constantly reinforce that "money comes to me easily and frequently" then situations will seemingly just pop up where this is happening, but the reason is your vibrations are attracting that energy, you are vibrating at that energy and that's what attracts it to you.
So what do we do with this information? We immediately focus on unlearning the negative beliefs we have taught ourselves. This may get uncomfortable; sometimes we don't like telling ourselves that we're wrong and that our own way of thinking has been our demise. This is what I felt; I understood, "so my own depressed state has actually been part of what's perpetuating my depressed state." Not many people want to admit that, especially being there, in the thing. When you're in the depression, in the low income, in the limited beliefs, it's difficult to believe what you can't see, when you're distracted by the things in your face.
But, we have to find a way to break through and muster up whatever we have in us to focus on what we want to attract. If not, we will mistakenly keep attracting what we don't want.
This is what I needed to know for the place I was in my life. Accidentally learning about the law of attraction is what began the beginning for me. It's what reminded me that I have control over myself and my life and that, though it doesn't always seem like it, I have control over my thoughts, feelings, words, and actions. But after diving more into my spirituality, I began to realize that the law of attraction wasn't the only law or force ruling over my life.
There's this thing called our purpose of creation. You've probably heard synonymous terms like 'reason for being' or 'soul's destiny.' They all have the same meaning which is well conveyed in their terms. We all have a purpose for our creation, a reason why we are being, a destiny for our soul. While I do believe the law of attraction has truth, I understand that our purpose of creation is one of the major forces ruling over our life.
So what does that part mean? That LOA does play a part but ultimately, when we follow our purpose of creation over egotistic desires, we can access free flowing energy, which allows for us to even easier attract what we require to reach our soul's destiny. The two concepts overlap because yes, when you are in low vibrational states like depression, it will be more difficult to access what you require because you aren't vibrating at the state of your reason for being. This process reinforces the law of attraction by making it look like you aren't attracting what you require because your thoughts, feelings, words, and actions are low vibrational (which is true) but ultimately, it's because your aren't vibrating high enough to be in harmony with your purpose of creation, so you can't attract the things you require to fulfill your soul's destiny anyway.
Basically, I've added these extra paragraphs to remind you that you shouldn't just have the surface level goal of keeping positive vibes to attract what you want. But that you should comprehend the bigger picture: focus on understanding your purpose of creation and then thinking, feeling, saying, and doing things that have you vibrating at *that* energy. Focusing on vibrating at your purpose of creation more than attracting positive vibes will be what helps you truly reach fulfillment. When you are aligned with your purpose of creation you access free flowing energy, are able to manifest things more quickly and, can attract everything you require and desire into your life.
(long story short: the law of attraction does play a role in our lives; but if your positive vibes don't align with your purpose of creation, it will get difficult to manifest what you desire and, in the end, prevent you from having fulfillment in life.)
