The Deeper Purpose Behind the Law of Attraction

Category Enlightenment, Exercises, God, Law of Attraction

Something I realized the other day is that when it comes to the Law of Attraction, what most of us don’t realize at first is that what it is we want to manifest is actually SECONDARY!

Song of the Tides by Marc Adamus

There’s something much more profound going on here. What the LoA is really teaching you to do is to blend all aspects of your being, to be your whole self, to unite the physical you with the non-physical you in thought, word, and deed. Call it raising your vibration, expanding your consciousness, integrating your being, whatever you want. It’s a way to experience Creation and growth in a way that is in full alignment with All That Is, without requiring All That Is to be any certain way.

The LoA is a wonderful little game. It’s the famous sales line, “Sell ‘em what they want. Give ‘em what they need.”

Remember in the movie Karate Kid when Mr. Miyagi had Daniel-san painting the fence, sanding the floor, doing wax-on wax-off? It’s a lot like that.

Old School

How many times have you wanted something really badly and struggled and grunted your way there. Sure, maybe you eventually got there after a lot of hard work, but when you finally got there, the feeling of success was short-lived at best. Heck, maybe it even felt like a disappointing let down compared to what you were expecting.

So 99.9% of your time was spent getting somewhere else, not enjoying or accepting where you are now, and the remaining 0.1% of the time at the end is spent actually experiencing the thing, but not even fully enjoying that either!

Doesn’t something sound wrong with the picture here? There must be a better way.

There is.

Lighten Up!

What the LoA is really about is using these things you desire as a place to simply focus your attention. It is by focusing your attention on what it is you desire that you can start using them as a means to be your whole Self NOW. THAT is the Primary focus here.

That’s what’s really going on slightly beneath the surface.

As was pointed out yesterday, the world doesn’t really need another painting, but it sure can be fun to paint it and feel the flow of creative life energy flowing through you as you paint.

Getting attached to a desire and needing it to happen is totally missing the point.

As Abraham points out over and over, there is nothing more important than that you feel good because when you are feeling good, that feeling is representative of the fact that you are integrating and being the whole being you were born to be.

So while awareness may be focused on better feeling thoughts, something you desire in the future, what’s wonderful now, what you appreciate, the opening of your heart, the state of being felt in meditation, or whatever tool you’re using to raise your vibration, aka “feel better,” the deeper spiritual purpose behind the Law of Attraction is about uniting the various aspects of yourself to be your Whole True Self.

Whatever process you use to realize that who you are is really the One and the All, whether you use various meditation practices to become enlightened, whether you are applying the principles of the Law of Attraction, whether you are studying the teachings of some enlightened guru who has realized a deeper truth and is sharing his or her realizations with you, whether you’re using quantum physics, or whether you’re using some other vehicle, you’ll notice that all of these vehicles, at their core, are geared towards a unification process, of realizing via any means possible what is Real, the Truth of Who You Are.

What we’re witnessing here is Reality using Reality to awaken itself to itself. It’s all One Reality. You and I are the same One Self.

On a deeper level, the Law of Attraction isn’t about getting what you think you want, whether it’s a new car, a better relationship, improved health, or whatever else. On the surface that’s what it is, but that is being used almost as delicious bait to move you towards a process of unification, to know and be who you truly are.

It’s through being who you are regardless of what happens outside of you that all that you would want to manifest happens automatically on its own! It’s all taken care of for you!

How magnificent!

I started out on my journey to finding out more about the law of attraction, thinking that it is all about manifesting the external. Then, I gradually realize how wrong I was. It is, as you’ve correctly pointed out, about our BEing. My life has been totally transformed ever since having a new found awareness about myself!!

A lot of LOA people seem to be pushing results—get what you want when you want it. LOA is about intention—where do you want to be? Great article. Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving your comment.

AMEN! And I say this not in the religious sense.

“What the LoA is really about is using these things you desire as a place to simply focus your attention. It is by focusing your attention on what it is you desire that you can start using them as a means to be your whole Self NOW.” That rang a bell within and made more sense to me than reading a book on LOA. Thanks!

ariel, this is off-topic from the LoA posts, but can you help anyway. i have been feeling my feelings (finally) each time a painbody attack comes, and the process has been cathartic–pleasureable even. i love the attacks because i feel so good and peaceful to love them and feel them turn into peace. but for three days now i’ve been living with a what fees like a damp blanket over my light of happiness (trying to be descriptive). it’s a blockage that mediation has not helped release. i have gone from meditating to accepting that i may feel badly until it wants to release on its own but i so dislike living in this pit of darkness. any suggestions on how to let go or break through?–i’d appreciate any help or comforting words of wisdom. :)–jeni

Hey Jeni,

Congratulations! How exciting! You’re on the brink of a breakthrough here.

Are you willing to allow this damp blanket to be here and cover up your happiness? Will you accept the possibility that if you allow it to be and let go of fighting it, it may be here for the rest of your life? Can you accept it on that level?

If you can arrive at that level of unconditional acceptance, it is then that it will let go. Maybe instantly. Maybe in a few days. When it is appropriate, it will let go. Your surrender to what is is the key.

i went for a run and then read your reply and it feels true. and more than that, it was just what i needed. when i mediated earlier about my blockage the answer i received was to ask for help, so thanks so much.

PS don’t let anyone call you a guru. or would that be resisting? ha ha!

i really enjoyed this post such a refreshing exposition on the law of attraction, and it feels ‘better’ to me somehow, than the ‘results-oriented’ looks at LoA.

thanks very much for this, ariel.
