Attractive Attraction

Christian needed a new car.

The car he was driving was on its last leg. He wasn’t sure when it would die, but he was sure that it would die. He needed a new car and he needed it fast.

But how was he going to get the money? Right now, his money was too tight. At the end of the month, he didn’t have an extra dime left after paying his bills. How would he be able to pay a car payment each month? One good thing about the car that he did drive was that he owned it and therefore didn’t have to worry about any monthly payments.

Every time he got behind the wheel of the car he stressed about it. He prayed that he would get where he had to go and back safely without incident. But even though he prayed, he spent the entire time while he was in the car, stressing that it might, at any minute, break down. He couldn’t remember if his AAA had expired or not.

Then, one day, Christian realized that it made absolutely no sense for him to stress over whether or not he could afford a new car. So, he made the decision to let the stress go. He decided that he was going to simply pray on it, and trust that God would do the rest.

He prayed and said, Lord, I thank you for my new car. I thank you for the money that I need to pay for the car. I thank you for allowing me to easily and effortlessly pay for the car each month and for having the car that I desire.

And then, he let it go!!!

When I say, he let it go, I mean, he let it go. He didn’t think about it again. He simply KNEW that he was going to have a new car, and that he would have the money to easily pay for it. He made the decision to not worry about it. Just trust that God had it all covered.

The next time he got in the car, he didn’t worry about it breaking down. He trusted that God would allow him to get where he had to go and back again.

He started going out to Used Car Lots and looking for his next car. He didn’t find the car that he wanted, but he now knew what make and model he was going to havea Honda Civic. He liked the car and figured he would like one in green. Yeah, that’s the ticket. A green, Honda Civic.

Well, I simply have to tell you what happened to Christian. You probably won’t believe me. Or, if you do, you will think it was a huge coincidence. But trust me when I tell you, it is not a coincidence and it did happen. In fact, it could happen for you in a similar way if first you made the decision to trust that God will bring to you all the things you desire.

Check this outwithout even trying, Christian received a promotion on his job, three days after deciding he wanted a green Honda Civic. He received the promotion because someone left the company, unexpectedly, and he was the only person who knew the job and could readily step into the new position with minimal training.

Four days after his promotion, he received his income tax return for $2,100.00. This was amazing because he thought he wasn’t going to receive it. He had not received an income tax refund for the past three years because it was always offset due to the fact that he owed money on his student loan. But now, here he was receiving his tax return, after 3 years of not receiving it.

How happy Christian is and how thankful and blessed he feels. He immediately took that check and found a green Honda Civic, used it as a down payment, and can now easily and effortlessly pay for his new car with the additional money he is receiving due to his promotion.

I know you are thinking, YEAH, RIGHT. How “coincidental.”

But it’s not a coincidence. If you have been a subscriber to this newsletter for any length of time, you have heard me say many times that there are no such things as coincidence.

Christian received exactly what he asked God for. Christian received exactly what he BELIEVED would come to him.

Once you decide on something that you want, and ask and thank God for supplying your need, all that is required of you is to BELIEVE that you will receive it.

OK, your turn. Think of something you desire right now. Ask God for it and believe that you have already received it. Trust that it is on its way to you, right now. I don’t care if you don’t have “evidence” of it right in front of you, just trust that God will supply your need. Then, let it go.

If you truly believe that your desire will be given to you, it will.

Try it. You’ll like it.

Imagine being able to actually shape your life the way you want it to be so that you can achieve anything you set out to achieve. Well, you know what? It’s really possible. And thousands, in fact, millions have been doing it and are really successful in their lives so there’s no reason why you cannot be one of them.

The way I’ve lived me life for a long time now is based on the Law of Attraction. Of course, when I was a kid, I hadn’t come across this concept before although I knew I was living it when I heard about it. The Law of Attraction simply states, “You get what you think about.”

Think back to a time when you were doing something, maybe focusing on the lack of money you have, how did you feel then? What kept happening? Did you keep thinking of the lack of money and finding that more wealth was coming your way? Or did you have to change your thoughts about money, making them positive vibrations for the universe to respond to you so that you can experience the abundance of money flowing to you?

Here’s how it works, and here’s the process that has given me so much success in my life in terms of opportunities, love, finance, relationships, etc. Whatever thought you are focussing upon send out a vibration into the universe and the universe responds to it by giving you more of that particular vibration. There are only two types of vibrations - positive and negative, and these are determined by what you are focussing upon.

I can hear you saying, “Kavit, is it really that simple? You mean if I just focus on my desire, it’ll just appear?” Yes that’s right, but one thing that is crucial in order to manifest your desire is to have no resistance in the alignment of your vibration with your desire. What that means is that there should be no inner critic, or what we term as Self 1 doubting your desire otherwise that also sends out some negative vibrations which then makes the Universe respond with nothing - keeping you stationary.

So you can see that in fact that’s the real simple strategy for you to manifest your desire. But before you can manifest it, you really have to get clear on what you want to achieve, and we’ll look at how to get clear about what you want to achieve in the next issue!

Within hours after posting A Dose of Caffeine for Your Consciousness, I went downstairs and saw that my wife was watching a movie. She was watching Mystery Men, which is about a group of inept but well-intentioned superheroes. This was a movie we’d seen when it first came out in 1999 but not since then it just happened to be showing on cable (USA channel). As I walked into the room, the scene that just happened to be on the screen was the one where Invisible Boy finally gets to show off his power the power to become invisible, but only when no one is looking directly at him. He uses it to bypass a deadly machine. That’s a fascinating interpretation of one of the concepts I just wrote about.

The movie that came on right after that one on the same channel was The Hulk, which is about a powerful superhero who comes to possess great powers which he’s unable to control. Hmmm A warning message?

Then later in the day I stumbled upon this article about an 8-year old Korean physics prodigy who’s entering university and says he wants to invent anti-gravity cars that can fly. I just happened to notice it on the del.icio.us popular list today. Another example of something I was just writing about this morning.

Then I happened to be watching The Matrix Reloaded during lunch (must be movie day here), and a scene came on where Neo and another character in Zion were discussing how little they slept just a few hours a day. Alrighty then

I interpret these kinds of things as bounceback reflections of my thoughts rippling through external reality. At first I would dismiss such events as my brain’s reticular activating system (RAS) at work, which can predispose us to notice what we’ve been thinking about. For example, you buy a new car and then see that same make and model everywhere on the road. But I became curious to see if I could push beyond the RAS explanation and start manifesting coincidences that would be really hard to explain merely as the result of subconscious programming. Letting go of that limiting belief seemed to have a big effect, and now I notice strange synchronicities happening almost every day, many of which require a serious stretch for me to explain purely as a result of subconscious action or random coincidence.

Then I started trying to consciously create such synchronous experiences by intending for them to manifest with greater abundance and intensity. Now I experience this kind of thing nearly every day, and sometimes there’s an avalanche of them within a compressed period of time (like 30-60 minutes). The coincidences described above are among the mildest.

Since I started this blog last year, these effects have been magnified tremendously. I think that may be due to the fact that via my writing, I’m able to influence the thinking of thousands of others. I suspect that when thousands of people think a certain thought within a short period of time (like 24 hours or so), it creates stronger ripples through reality than when just one person thinks the thought. So that may explain why when I write about something, I see a greater surge in synchronicities, even if I discount those that seem to be a direct result of people reading the blog and sending me feedback.

If this is indeed how reality works, then it means I need to be very cognizant of the thoughts I’m putting out into the world. I’m OK with accepting that responsibility because I’ve been consciously committing myself to serve the highest good of all and to develop a deeper understanding of what that means. The ability to influence the thoughts of thousands of people each day isn’t something I take lightly. I feel grateful for the privilege, and I’m dedicated to doing the best I can. Such a privilege can easily be abused though if one succumbs to fear-based thinking, as Adolf Hitler once did with his communication skills.

I think everyone has this innnate ability to use their thoughts to create ripples in external reality, but they don’t normally notice it because they mostly use their thoughts to recreate their past in the future. Most people think the same thoughts they did yesterday, so their experience of reality appears more rigid and less flexible. I will tell you that it’s been a major challenge for me to learn how to think consciously and proactively instead of merely reacting to external reality, to choose my thoughts instead of having them dictated by my environment. It took years to be able to do that with any consistency. Reactionary thinking is a hard habit to break.

This is Greatest American Hero territory, where we seem to possess some sort of curious power but lack the instruction manual. I’m deeply fascinated by the opportunity to explore such territory. I hope you find it equally fascinating as you continue to grow more conscious and aware.

He can juggle, count cards at blackjack, and make damn good guacamole. Steve is also a polyphasic sleeper, sleeping just 2-3 hours per day and only 20 minutes at a time. So chances are good that he’s awake right now.
