Question…

While I am working away to finalize LOTUS IV: Circumventing the Stress Response, I wanted to ask for some feedback on the Law of Attraction.  Many people I speak with talk about the problems and frustrations they have had using the Law of Attraction.  I’ve talk to others that have been wonderfully successful.  What is your experience?  How did you apply the Law?  What activities did you undertake (visualization, gratitude rock, emotional anchoring, etc.)?  What was the outcome? 

Please respond with a comment.  I’d like to open this up for all to share. 

Thanks, Scott.

Fear, Truth, and Spiritual Awakening

Audio Version: Fear, Truth, and Spiritual Awakening

Never before in history has mankind faced a greater crisis than the one we face today.  I am not talking about famine, or war, or hunger, or disease.  I am talking about a spiritual crisis.  A crisis of identity, of understanding, of planetary emergence.  We, as a species, are in our teenage years.  We are not adults, nor are we wise beyond our years.  We are between childhood and adulthood, and there is no older, wiser grandparent guiding us along our path.  We are alone, and yet, at the very core of our being, we are one. 

And it is at this juncture, at this very realization coming at us from religion, from philosophy, and from science, that we realize this great truth – that we are one. 

We are one. 

Imagine that.

Or, as someone infinitely more talented than I once said…

Imagine.

So please do that…

Imagine.

Imagine a world of unity.  Imagine of world of one.  Imagine a world where all the resources are shared, because it makes no sense not to share.  Imagine bridges, not borders. 

Imagine a world without fear. 

And then you will have a world of Truth.

Not truth, but Truth with a capital “T”.

Fear is born of separation, and fear engenders control.  It is the primary mechanism of control.  It is, at its core, the means of the adolescent, of the young as they struggle for the wisdom of maturity.  Fear is not Truth.  Never was.  Never will be.  Those seeking control use truth, but they do not understand Truth.  And many even reject the idea, and thus embrace the way of the adolescent. 

Any set of ideas which is based on fear is not founded in Truth.  It is, from a spiritual perspective, not real.  Mankind has indoctrinated himself in the unreal.  Examine our institutions, our beliefs, and see which of them, at their core, are founded on fear. 

It is time for mankind to evaluate our institutions and our “-isms” – from religions, to governments, to monetary systems, to foreign policies, to diplomatic relations.  Humanity, all of Humanity – not just the currently dominant slice of the Western World – must transcend the fear-based dogma that holds back our evolution.  This is True not for just the general populace, but for corporate leaders, for government officials, for politicians, for military leaders, for the power elite as well as for those institutions promoting hatred and terrorism in the name of a greater good.  Hatred and terrorism, whether issued by covert resistance to imperialism or by the corporate and military interests of the dominant, are never great nor good. 

These institutions and those lurking behind them believe that fear can control and maintain a grip on humanity.  This belief is founded on the fundamental assumption that fear is eternal and mankind cannot rise above it.  This has, until now, proven true throughout history.  It is easy to assume that fear will continue its dominance over us.  Entire models of social control are based on this, and their predictive success is contingent upon it.  However, if this dominance ends, the entire fear-based control structure – corporate, government, religious, military, family – falls apart like a house of cards.  For it has never been fear that we needed, but rather peace.

For humanity to survive this crisis, we must understand that all institutions were built by us – we control them, they don’t control us.  We gave them their power, because, at their core, these institutions are comprised of people.  They are us.  The ultimate irony is that we, ourselves, created the institutions that control us with fear, and that we run these same institutions. 

The eventual collapse of fear through the force of evolution is not a maybe, but rather, a certainty.  Anyone, from the power elite of the world to the common man, anyone who hitches their wagon to a set of beliefs founded in fear will end up in a ditch – a ditch they never saw coming.  But those who abandon the shackles of fear, who rise above it, will save both themselves and mankind. 

It is time that humanity grows up and stops playing out its adolescent dramas on a world stage.  Imagine a world free of fear.  Imagine living as adults…

Together, in peace.

Problems with the Law of Attraction

The Law of Attraction works!  That’s the good news.  But the bad news is that it works 24/7/365, not just for the 20 minutes a day that we try to create something new.  This presents problems as the status quo the Universe has created becomes disturbed.  If our thoughts and feelings to date have created a lack in our life, a scarcity of some type, trying to change it for a brief period every day, and then reverting back to the habitual thoughts and feelings that created our lack to begin with results in turbulence in our life, as the Universe trys to create both desired and undesired results. 

A quick review of the blogosphere clearly helps us see that this Turbulence is the most common result of trying to use the Law of Attraction.  Most practictioners do not want to hear this.  But this does not mean the Law of Attraction cannot be mastered.  It can. 

Clearly a deeper understanding of the process, of how the Universe actually communicates, is required to master this Universal Law and to use for our benefit.  This is not a simplistic issue, and it requires a great deal of background and framework to address even the fundamentals. 

But – the Law of Attraction works.  It is not a fairy tale.  It is a very powerful natural law – as real and as absolute as gravity.  If you walk off of the top of a 40 story, you will fall and, in all likelihood, die.  Gravity doesn’t judge whether or not you deserve to die.  It just operates by law.  The Law of Attraction is no less powerful, no more judgemenntal, and just as dangerous if not understood before using. 

But if we do understand its intracacies, we can use it to our benefit.  If you have been struggling with the Law of Attraction, but the concept strikes a knowing chord inside of you, then I invite you to refer to the LOTUS Lessons to learn more.  You can change your life.  Learn how here.

Happy Holidays!

I just want to take this time to wish everyone a Merry Christmas.  I live in Arlington, Texas, and we are having the first white Christmas ever on record in this area.  It’s so beautiful here, and it is something we just never see.  I hope everyone had as good of a Christmas as I did, and may all of you have a wonderful New Year.  Let’s make next year… for each of us, for our country, no matter what country you live in, and for our planet… let’s make it the best year on record.
