You are the creative principle

The law of attraction is a popular term used to describe something far deeper than what appears on the surface. If you scratch beyond surface of the teachings of law of attraction you will find what’s really being discussed is the creative principle, that energy and power which is used to draw into physical experience. Shamans and spiritual healers have known for centuries that our lives are the results of all the thoughts and feelings combined with experiences over the lifetime of each unique human being.
The holy books teach us that we’re all created in the image and likeness of GOD. Most people truly do not understand a statement. Being created in the image and likeness of GOD means you’re being endowed with the same creative power to call into being simply by putting your focus on what you would like to experience combined with passion. This is not a state that you have to work towards, it is who and what you are. It is your natural state to be a powerful creator. You do it automatically and have been doing it since birth.
Who you are right now is the result of all feelings and experiences you’ve had in your life. If you continue to think as you have to this point, then you will continue to create very similar experience for yourself. You believe yourself and your life to be a certain way therefore it is.
Let’s take the word belief and describe what it really means. To believe something is to firmly hold onto an idea or experience as something unwavering and real. Whatever it is that you choose to believe you will hold onto with all the strength available to you rather than letting go and thinking anything different.
Where you stand in believing is the point from where you create everything you experience. It is a circle of power you’ve drawn around yourself , and the energy with which new creating is formed based on those very beliefs. Beliefs are very strongly held thoughts , habits of thinking and expecting based on years of experience,it is both a physical and mental exercise. One set of beliefs is no less a real than another set of beliefs. This planet is filled with millions of people each holding a slightly different belief. Each person interacts with their beliefs from their personal experience with them. In this regard all beliefs are personal.
Your personal beliefs are the vantage point from which you create and attract new or similar experiences to interact with. Most people are so steeped in their personal belief about how life is that they put their life on automatic and experiences play over and over again as though they had no control of what is happening to them. As a powerful creator whatever you are holding in your heart, by way of a strong and passionate feeling you will continue to draw to yourself repeatedly. Only by letting go of the present thoughts that you are giving all your attention to and allowing new thoughts and feelings to replace, will you attract anything different into your life. If you will understand that your belief system; the series of things that you hold tightly as true or ground zero within your creative process;are the creative factor, you can then begin releasing expectations which do not serve you.
Most people do not see themselves as a powerful creative energy force, rather they see themselves as victims of life , victim of circumstance. The vision that you hold of yourself is the place from which you will continue to create. The circumstances you now find yourself in are a perfect reflection of how you truly do believe yourself to be. It can be no other way, what is outside of you is a perfect reflection of who you believe yourself to be and what you to believe life to be. The law of attraction or creative principle, can do nothing but to create in your image. Just as you were created in the image and likeness of the creator, as a creator you can only create in the image and likeness of yourself. Changing your self image into the person you wish to experience yourself to be is the secret to changing your life.
There are many tools that you can use to change your belief of who you are. These include meditation, vision boards, affirmations, scripting, as well as energy work with a spiritual healer. Through sitting quietly and allowing your imagination to take you into the place that you wish to experience you can begin shifting your belief of who you are. Start daily with only five to fifteen minutes a day and quietly focus on seeing yourself interacting as a person you desire to be. Use a vision board to help remind you throughout the day. A cork board on which you place pictures of things you would like to experience as well as statements that remind you of your goals will be beneficial as well.
Scripting is the process of writing your life as though it is presently happening exactly the way you wish to experience it. Begin keeping a journal and add to it each day experiences would like to have as though you were presently having them. This process will elevate your vibration and keep your feelings in line with what you wish to experience.
Energy work with a spiritual healer can help you bring into alignment the present in the past. Oftentimes understanding the link between your past and present day will help you to release that energy connection. Very often people have such deep emotional connections to their past that they are not aware of just how powerful these attachments are in preventing them to consistently make different choices for their lives. An energy healer will be able to guide you through a cleansing process and a realignment of your chakras.
Changing who you see yourself to be and altering your beliefs about life is a process. Altering the habits with which you have unconsciously been creating your life will take consistent action on your part. Although it may feel difficult and challenging at times if you will maintain a burning desire to experience life differently you will stay the course and change will be inevitable. You are the power to create what ever you wish to experience, you have only to decide who you are and what you want to interact with. Once this decision is clear in your mind as outlined above through consistent practice, your reward will be brand new experiences.

How do you listen to yourself?

By Joyce Shafer
It can be amazing to listen to how people talk about their perception of reality. You can literally hear how close they get to a point that would allow shift, but stop short.
I had dinner with a friend I hadn’t seen in a long while. As he told me about things that were different, it was easy to hear that he and his beliefs were pretty much the same, which means his experiences haven’t changed much. He still looks for solutions to his discontent about his life to come from outside himself.
My mantra is, “To find the right answer, seek the right question.” As we spoke, I mentioned this to him.
“I ask questions,” he responded.
“Yes, but you don’t stop talking to yourself long enough to ‘hear’ an answer,” I replied.
He does what many of us do to different degrees: he mulls over what he doesn’t like about his life repeatedly. Little attention goes to possible solutions. And, little attention goes towards shifting beliefs at the inner level to attract or affect a shift at the outer level.
Patience is a factor. How often have you felt unhappy, discontent, or something even stronger about a situation or aspect of your life? When did you want it to shift? Yesterday, right? If you do ask for an answer, or even for the right question, you want it now. However, the quicker you get out of the way, the quicker you get an answer.
What you need comes to you more easily if you ask, expect, and let go of those tricksters Who, What, How, When, and Where. It isn’t that you have to still your mind, you can think about other things; but you can’t dwell on what you want to shift. Why?
Opposing thoughts cannot occupy the same space.
Here’s a real secret: As long as you judge something or believe it needs to be fixed or changed, you, in effect, glue it down as your experience. This isn’t just an aspect of Law of Attraction it’s physical. Every time you replay thoughts and patterns in your mind, you create pathways or ruts, if you will, in your brain. This pathway becomes the path of least resistance whenever you’re triggered. You can become so entrenched in behavior patterns, you don’t even consider that there’s another way to think, feel, or act. Nor, that you can choose to do these differently. Create a pathway that allows for shift to happen.
My friend went on to tell me about certain things he’d like to change, but that guilt feelings stop him from moving forward. Then, he began to justify why he shouldn’t feel guilty about making these changes. I suggested that he look for the right question(s) to ask about the guilt. If he explores and discovers the root cause of this feeling, I’m certain solutions based in head-and-heart alignment will come to him. As long as guilt or fear of feeling guilt about taking care of his best interests is what drives him, desired outcomes and how he can attain them will continue to elude him.
If you’ve been seeking a solution or answer, take a day or three off from chatting about it in your head or with others. Give it an appointment on your calendar three days from now. If repetitious negative thoughts try to intrude, tell them they aren’t scheduled for further consideration until—and, state the date.
Also, don’t let the other trickster in: telling yourself you’re confused. You may not have a plan or strategy as yet, but most confused feelings are really about resistance to doing what you know needs to be done. The first step is to agree to allow a shift at the inner level. A good way to discover what this will look like for you is to let go of resisting what is so you can see possibilities. You don’t have to like what is, but as the saying goes, “Whatever you resist, persists.”
When you seek an answer, ask for it; then, listen to the sound of silence within. Your inner voice is polite (and patient). If you’re doing all the talking, it won’t interrupt.

This is an amazing story of a bartender from Calgary who had the dream of of hiking through the Peruvian mountains to the mystical and sacred Lost City of the Incas at Machu Picchu. Realizing that he did not have enough money, he began visualizing money coming to him. Three weeks after he began he received a check in the mail for $7000.
Read his story. It’s really cool!
Congratulations Brett. I wish you a world of fun and excitement!

Video Points:
- We resist in many ways: verbal and non verbal. Beliefs, assumptions like ‘they won’t let me,’ and blaming others are other ways of resisting. We put our change on hold i.e. ‘the time isn’t right’.
- Fear is another form of resistance i.e. ‘I’m afraid to do that.’ They are all excuses.
- Change yourself first then teach by example.
- When you are willing to accept your family and friends as they are, it is only then that they will accept you for who you are.
- Be willing to practice what we want.
- Do your own mental work to heal yourself which will in turn help your friends because they will see a change in you.
- Using the mirror say, ‘I am willing to change.’ Remember it is only a thought and a thought can change. Don’t let this thought stop your from becoming free.
- We create habits and problems to fulfill a need within us. When we can find a positive way to fulfill that need, we can release the problem.
- If you were having problems with the previous affirmation, then repeat, ‘I am willing to release the need for this problem or resistance.’
- Procrastination is another form of resistance. If you procrastinate you will not allow yourself to have what it is you say you want.
- Resenting what another has in their life is another form of resistance.
- There is plenty for everyone.
- Choose no longer to be stuck. Say, ‘I am willing to release the pattern in my consciousness that is creating this condition.’ Begin to take your power back by dissolving the problem you helped to create.
Enjoy!
