Vibe Commentary-3/27 12/23/2021

Greetings all,
This is a new point of view to those of you who may read this Blog. This Blog may be completely different in perspective. I’m not “railing against the wind” but instead I am offering a common sense understanding of how the Law of Attraction relates to the everyday things we all do. We all have “issues” that come from our Individual Perspective; from where we want to feel “relief”.
If you have read and are following this thread of Vibrational Offerings; you’ll notice that I skip days. This is not because I felt they were any less important but because they didn’t offer a point of view that inspired sufficient contrast for me, on which to comment.

Today’s Thought: Positive Attitude
“A strong positive attitude will create more miracles than any wonder drug.”- Patricia Neal

Author’s Take: Research, whether personal or scientific, does not understand Why a positive attitude affects us in positive ways. It has been more accepted more in the past recent decades than any other time we can recall. The Placebo has been Sold to recipients for some time and the effects have been documented across all areas of study. It’s power has been accepted by doctors as well as the general public. Using a positive attitude in sickness and in health can and benefits us.

Ending Thought: “I can face whatever comes today with a positive attitude.”

I have stated many times, in a variety of my Commentaries, my thoughts and feelings of the Power of Positive thinking(PMA). I have studied and read many books that promote the idea. I want to take this opportunity to clarify My perspective of Positive Thinking.
My first forays into the study and learning of PMA came from the earliest publications of authors, such as Norman V. Peale, Dale Carnegie, Edgar Casey, Napoleon Hill, Og Mandingo, W. Clement Stone and even Zig Zigler…I’m sure there are many more I’ve read but won’t list here. In my early years, these were my main sources of information of How to have a better life. I highly recommend them all, if you are wanting to learn the Basics, in order to set your Perspective in the right (to Me) direction. I have read and reread them all and refer to them still.**

As is the habit of man or the unavoidable result of the times and the current of thought of past beliefs, these writings were colored by the lessons learned by these authors, as taught to them. They developed and grew more aware of a more natural order that was Not mainstream thinking.

Their earlier circumstances may not be well known but I can’t help but think that they developed their New way of thinking because of their Dissatisfaction with how their lives were. They found better results from having a PMA. Fortunately for the rest of us, the world and the progression of thought, they wanted to share their findings and results.

Since learning to BE more Positive, think positive and expect positive results, as these mentioned writings explained; I saw better results in my life. I, like most; was still was influenced by conditions and breaking free of that narrowed way of Thinking, slowed my growth and prosperity. I never understood why, since I was applying the lessons the books expounded, I was not seeing the results they said I should. At least to the degree they said I should. I went through the Litany of excuses & blame. I was doing the work. Why wasn’t I getting the results??

LoA has given me the answer to that question. PMA can only take you to the edge of what you want to achieve by applying the principles of “Fake it till you Make it” thinking. It is less about Thinking and more about Feeling, listening to the Emotions your thoughts invoke. It’s not about Positive or Negative because LoA responds equally to both trains of thought. Pos/Neg-Good/Bad-Black/White-Muslim/Christian, all are labels MAN has assigned to what their Beliefs, held from earliest Societal teachings. A ‘Belief” is a Habit of Thought that is constantly Reinforced. It’s true; to you, BECAUSE you Believe it.!!

This is a Vibrational, Attraction based Universe where we create our Own reality with the Thought & Emotional vibrations offered. LoA responds by attracting more Like vibrations setting up a Momentum of Creation, until your thoughts BeCome in your Experience. The practice of “Fake Till You Make It” is a fine start but only will allow your Expansion to go to the point of your Attention to the LACK of what your “Faking”. When the focus is about what is Missing, LoA responds by “drawing” More like vibrations to You/it…The “results” you’re wanting seem elusive because you are focused more on what is Not wanted instead of what IS Wanted.

We are all greatly influenced by our earliest lessons of life. The circumstances of our childhood, the attitudes we witnessed and mimicked of our parents, siblings and peers and the sense of self we adopted and felt in our hearts; all serve to mold our perspectives and our manner of being, our basic personality. In other words, if we had a Loving, Giving and Happy youth, we learned to believe that that was how life was supposed to be. This is also true if the “conditions” are opposite… Rich people don’t “worry” about money, they expect it as a natural condition of their lives. They have other issues in spite of their wealth.

Psychology has proven that children learn their Core life lessons by 7-10 years of age. This is where they build their Basic personality.! They mirror the environment they live in during those years. They mimic the attitudes, actions and beliefs of their parents. This is how we behave for the most part of the rest of our lives. We also learn (or are taught) the limitations we Believe control our lives and keep us from allowing the change needed to move out of our circumstance or current situation, that we are dissatisfied with.
In order to effect change, we must first change the old paradigm to the one we want to experience. Through the LoA, we create our own reality. The reality that we observe around us is the result of what we have thought up to that point. Once we realize and accept that Now is already the past and can not be changed, we understand we need to anticipate and allow a New reality for the next Now by Feeling the reality we desire already is!

**The Self-Help books I read on PMA promoted a Positive Mindset way of thinking. The basic concept was good but incomplete. It did not take the LoA into consideration, since it wasn’t an acceptable belief for the time. The human mind can only focus on One thought at a time. The (Learned) natural tendency when we don’t get what we think we want, is to find Negative excuses Why & we turn the focus on the excuses AND the “Lack” of our Desire.

The focus of our thoughts creates the reality we have or the reality we want, depending on the amount of attention we give to either. Maintaining focus on where we want to go and not where we are, maps your Life Paths to the destination you want. Once you ask, you know the destination. Know you’ll get there by following the map you & your Inner-Being, created, then focus on the journey along the path. You don’t recreate the path along the way or stop and retrace your steps to make sure the map is right. Follow the example of the new GPS systems today. It redirects if you stray from the original route and points you to the (path of least resistance) easiest route “from there” keeping the destination in mind, as the end result. Enjoy the trip along the way, the end isn’t going anywhere.-JMO

P.S.-This will tie into my Next Vibe Offering-:>}

Today’s Thought: The Cost of Anger
“Anger can be an expensive luxury.”- Italian Proverb

Author’s Take: Anger colors our lives and the things that occur around us. Small things that seem to go wrong that in turn affect our disposition and mood. None enjoy the anger we feel is caused by circumstances out of our control. It could be that others are taking advantage of our situation or a condition that makes us uncomfortable that brings the anger to the surface. Changing our perspective can allow us to respond calmly or constructively rather than out of anger.

Ending Thought: “I don’t have to get angry, even if it seems justified. Instead, I can think about why I’m upset, whether there’s something useful to do about it, and what steps I can take next.”

This thought came recently, on the heels of an experience which presented itself to me and I found it amusing that it was so appropriate. While shopping, I was approached by a store employee, doing what I’m sure she felt was her job, performing it in the manner she I’m sure, she felt helpful. For no apparent reason, I felt her butting in to advise me How to do something I’ve done several times, was intrusive. I didn’t appreciate her injecting herself in my efforts and informed her of such. I feel I may have been a bit overzealous in my reaction. I was polite, mostly; but still firm, resolute in my dislike of her interference. The result was obvious, to her as well as others nearby. When I reached my home, my anger had not diminished and if anything, had increased.

The issue I had was NOT Not understanding Why I got as upset as I did. My only Guess is that the vibration I expected from her affected My vibration. One I was unprepared for and allowed myself to react to in a negative manner. The reason or “cause” is irrelevant because it Can Not be changed. It’s His-Story & beyond our power to alter, except in our Minds.

This is a typical example of thinking outside circumstances to affect us as if something else Interferes with our lives. This is called Conditional Living!! When conditions are allowed to “Rule” the reactions human spend so much time justifying, those conditions can’t change or improve.

The Belief that things/conditions/situations can affect us is the reason we Allow those things Keep happening. The key word here is Allow!! That is a choice we can make in every moment.. Most think that we don’t make that choice. About the only choices we don’t make consciously is to breathe or to pump the blood through our veins. Even these actions we call Autonomous functions can be controlled by the mind through Choice and extensive practice and absolute belief. This has been proven by Swamis and Mystics throughout time. The Will to live is a strong one and can override seemingly extreme fatal conditions. Most will agree that Will is merely Extremely focused thought!!
So if we can control our breathing and bodily functions, we should all be able to regulate our emotions by monitoring the thoughts and decisions that result from them, as well.

Let’s bring in the LoA perspective to Anger, the emotions associated with it and how or where it comes from.

We are Non-Physical extensions of Source Energy (or God), Physically focused in our Human bodies. Bodies that have adapted and been trained to Think like humans, with all the habits acquired & passed down through the ages. These habits all have a beginning or start point steeped in the necessity of the time. As man evolved & circumstances changed, the one constant in this evolution is the thoughts we applied/apply to whatever we were/are doing on that particular event. I am being General here on purpose so as not to draw focus or attention to a particular idea.

Our thoughts create the Reality we live in but since our environment has also evolved with the creative process, humans tend to want to make their Beliefs fit the Now. It’s a Square Peg-Round, Hole situation…Beliefs are only a Habit of Thought that is constantly reinforced. They are the thoughts borne out of the habits established long ago, before we had any idea of what or how our existence was or would become.

Back to the emotion(s) of Anger, which is at the lower end of the Emotional Scale; below Despair, Depression, Grief and Fear but above Revenge, Hatred & Fear. The human mind, this powerful human mind works at such a speed that we do not notice all the nuances from start to end of each thought. We experience the full spectrum of emotions with each event until we (it) find(s) the one that fits the circumstance of the moment. Physical conditions also play a part in how we Feel. Coffee or hunger can elevate our Anxiety, for example. If we are not aware of these, our emotions can “get out of control” before we know it. But only if we do not monitor the thoughts or feelings, which create the emotion. Anger can & should be a Call to Action, to take steps to FEEL Better!!! Don’t let others say that you should have Anger since this is a Pivotal point of Emotion on an Upward expansion to (FEEL Better) Joy!!

Emotions are the Guidance System indicators that measures the degree of Alignment or Acceptance of the thought during the Now moment and to the how our Spirit or Inner-Being feels about the same thought. Once we understand and accept that our emotions are those indicators of thoughts, we can begin to get a better hold on the result. If it doesn’t Feel good, it probably isn’t good for us. Once we can get back to feeling good, we can find the reason we experienced the emotion in question.

All in all, we create our own reality with the Thought & Emotional vibrations offered when we think. The emotions denote how we feel about that thought and the (already) Manifested Reality of what we observe, as a result of the creative process.-JMO

Great day all,
The intro is still & will be the Same so I feel repetition isn’t needed.

Today’s Thought: Doing Our Best
“I have done my best. That is about all the philosophy of living one needs.”- Lin Yutang

Author’s Take: We all have tasks to complete or want to complete. Whether it’s something we want or not, it may need doing, as part of our lives. If it’s an Unpleasant assignment, we may not do it to the degree of our own satisfaction; just to put it behind us. Not doing it well may cause unpleasant feelings. A task well done gives us a sense of satisfaction.
Doing our best at whatever we endeavor should make us feel good, even if it goes unnoticed.

Ending Thought: “I may not always be able to do things as well as I would like, but I can still try to do the best I can, given the time and priorities I have.”

Thinking one has “Done Their Best” is Self-defeating & in most cases, a defending of their Limitations. Moreover, it places more emphasis on the opinions of others than of One’s accomplishments. Regardless of the amount of effort given, it is done only to the degree of the desire one wants to exert.

In a world oriented in Deeds, we all have things to Do, whether we like the task at hand or not. We all are taught, to some degree; to take pride in our work, to do the best we know how and to make serious effort to complete the deed.
We don’t always do the very best job if we haven’t learned the proper skills. If our skill isn’t “up to par”, it may take longer than a timed Schedule will allow. Mistakes may result.

Not being able to do the best at a task that’s possible, despite our effort or skill, causes most people to have feelings of inadequacy; possibly even ones of Failure. In our societal order, failure is Unacceptable. In the U.S., we have a Must Win attitude, to be the best, to be number One. Everything is a competition which we must all win. However, there can be Only one winner. Second place is the 1st loser. No one wants to be a Loser. This training starts at very early stages of life. Gender is irrelevant. Boys compete in competitive sports; as do some girls. Girls have to be the prettiest, most graceful or best dressed. Boys too, in some cases. And all need to learn the most that they can, to be the smartest, to have the Highest Grades (GPAs). The Failure is in the Judgement.

Don’t get me wrong, I believe that competition is important in the learning process; teaching us to do our best, to interact with society. Knowing we do our best, we feel good about what we have done and the Feeling Good is the important part of life. However, Criticism of how we do something only serves to build resentment of doing any more. That resentment is more the cause of Not doing something better, than the effort we put into doing it. It creates a perpetual cycle that becomes less and less fulfilling with each effort we attempt.

This is all Effort Based thinking. This makes our life conditional; on how well we perform, how we’re judged by our peers, superiors or parents and society. For the most part, hardly anything is ever Good Enough for a large portion of people. Whether we are criticized by parents as children or “teachers”; we learn to feel less than our best. We are taught, by religion, example or habit, that we are Not perfect. We can never reach perfection but must always strive to attain it. How this contradiction of thought or belief affects the outcome depends on the individual and their state of acceptance. Most importantly, it depends on each individuals level of Self-Worth.

Law of Attraction is not task oriented but emotion based. Regardless of What we do, how we do it or whether we do it; it’s how we FEEL doing it, that’s important. When we feel good, we are happy, regardless of the outcome of a task. Less happy if the result is not how it was thought to turn out. The same outcome when in a less accepting/allowing mindset, may result in Disappointment, Anger, even Violence…

We can always do things “As well as we’d Like” because we create our own reality. That includes, more so than anything; how we FEEL at any moment.

If we find something we enjoy doing, we do it well and often. We feel good about the doing of it. This is the greatest gift we can give ourselves. Life IS supposed to be fun and enjoyable. When we can reach that state of happiness, we feel we live a more of a fulfilled life. There will still be things we don’t want but need to do, we may still not do everything the best it can be done but when we have a joy of life for the things we do that we enjoy, the lesser well done efforts matter less. We acknowledge we aren’t able to do it as well as another and we are glad to let others, more skilled do the things we don’t do as well.
Be happy in your life, regardless of what you do. If you don’t like it, don’t do it. If you can let someone else that does it better, sit back and watch and learn and appreciate that it was done well.-JMO

Today’s Vibe: 12/07/2021

Today’s comment is a little different as it is Current, with the calendar’s date! I am allowing the Universe to guide my response to today’s Quote-of the-Day. Same source of reference as stated in my previous blogs. Enjoy!

Today’s Thought: “The How thinker gets problems solved effectively because he wastes no time with futile “if’s“. – Norman Vincent Peale

Author’s Take: Here we have the author comparing Weighing the Consequences to Action, efficient or not. The “if’s”; (self-imposed) obstacles to task at hand, if considered at length may cause a situational Paralysis. While on the other hand, one taken to Action IS doing something, whether it Solves the problem or not isn’t as relevant as movement. Make the attempt…

Final Thought: “While it is important to consider the Potential consequences of any action, I can’t let the If’s paralyze me into inaction.

Problem solving skills are useful and fun to have & use but, from the LoA perspective as I see it; the problem with Problems is the focus being the Problem in “search of a solution” instead of the letting the solution show itself within the Problem itself. For most people, the Problem is all there is. “The First step to solving a Problem is knowing it exists.” Zig Ziglar (1975-79). This has been a Positive Mental Attitude adage for decades.

It’s the expecting to find problems to acknowledge that is setting yourself up to Create problems along the Physical path to what you want. Law of Attraction does not discriminate between vibrations. If the predominate Vibration is one that Brings problems, it will attract more Like vibrations to You. If you think that you will encounter problems, LoA will assure that that happens.

However, here’s the good news! Understanding LoA, paying attention to the Way you feel and using your Emotions as a guide, you Know you can change the Vibrations before they become too involved or before there is already a significant amount of Momentum started. Accepting What Is with the knowing that it is already PASSED & is Inconsequential to the Next moment. It verifies the issues without giving it vibrational substance. Changing the Story or the mental aspect of it to anything that Does Not involve “the problem” will Allow greater possibilities for the ideas of solutions to flow to you, freely. The less resistance (focus on the Problem), the greater degree of Allowing new ideas to be Received.!!

In our Vibrational, Attraction based Universe where we Create Our Own Reality, mankind has Thought and manifested it’s way out of the Darkness to the modern society we all, collectively co-create(agree to) as One. This is the important part. Everything we know was once a thought First, wanted, needed, focused into Reality and action was used to assemble the “manifested” components into useable items…Chairs, tables, houses from wood…the saw to harvest it…the knowledge of what was needed to “build” with from a ready made resource…How to live, in safety outside a Cave…One thought leading to the next. Action taken to move from step to step until, Here We Are…

Action will Always have consequences but if they were relevant to the Successful outcome of any endeavor, we would still be living in Caves.

Problem Solving can & is useful in the proper setting. That setting is NOT the physical circumstances of the moment but your Vibrational connection or Alignment with your Inner-Being. If the problem is approached from a position of Anxiety or Stress, Fear Doubt & Worry, LoA adds to the Momentum already in motion. If the problem is observed while one is in Harmony with the Energies of the Universe and their own True self & not looked at as a Problem but as a another step along the Life Paths to what(Your Inner-Being already knows & is guiding you to) you want. The destination is not the priority of Source, your Inner-Being or the Universe (or God, they’re all just Labels for the same idea). It’s the Journey. Life is meant to be Fun. That means having Fun along the way to where you want to be, even it involves Problem-Solving. It’s only about feeling good Now.!!-JMO

Today’s (Happy Thanksgiving) blog will be a bit different than what I have posted so far. My past offerings were a response to someone else’s perspective of quotes from past figures in history…

I have often thought, noticed and said, “If common sense was all that Common, more people would have it.!” I’ve thought of writing a book of common sense occurrences as a guide to applying and using C.S. in everyday practices. Common sense told me it wouldn’t do as well as I’d have liked…

Can C.S be taught? Is it an “Inherent” ability to see with the logical mindset of C.S.? Is it only a more Ordered and Logical mind that understands the linear concept of it.? Is it relative to intelligence?

As I mentioned in another post, I have always held the Basics of the belief structure I now have but I didn’t grasp the subtle concept of the How & Why it happened as it did. With my wanting the answer to that very question, that I’ve asked for many years; I attracted the teachings of the Law of Attraction and it’s core principles. From this perspective, I see common sense in a different light.

Yes, the mind and it’s logical view & observation will still be vital to operating in a C.S. state.

LoA is always “Attracting” to the current Point of Attraction, or the thing being thought at that moment. My experience with using C.S. has always been a thing of ease for me. It was the common sense thing/way to do it. There always seemed to be a “simple” way of doing or looking at things. Now I see that the Law of Attraction was at Play throughout every experience, thought and corresponding action.

So how does LoA affect Common Sense?? Let’s look at how we perceive the things we look at. With every observation, our Physical mind takes in every detail, seeing every option without our Conscience awareness of the information received & stored in the mind. As we observe this “reality”, we have thoughts of everything we see. Thoughts are vibrations and therefore, active in the LoA. The “original” thought of how…was created is also Still present in the Universal Energy field of Vibration & therefore, accessible to the Mind & Inner-Self.

I have a mindset of Common Sense. I don’t remember when I didn’t have this sense of Ease. The path of least resistance is what allows the LoA to Attract the energies of what thoughts lead to less resistance of the effort for whatever action is needed to achieve the C.S result. Read that again (I had to). In simpler terms, We see something; we Think; there’s a simpler way to do something, LoA responds to that thought & brings into play the energies that Manifest into the Inspirations that provide the vision to SEE the Easier, Common Sense Way.!!

We all have an Inner sense of Right & Wrong (based on the current “Reality” paradigm), a Gut feeling that tells us that we Are right. When we follow that impulse, we usually find positive results. If we allow others to direct our desires, we are almost always left feeling less sure or confident. Resentment can come into play if allowed.

I can only provide examples of instances where C.S. either was or was not used. To me, there is no Rhyme or Reason for the actions taken in those cases. Why my perspective of C.S is as Tuned, is also a mystery to me. Common Sense, like Opinions are unique to the individual & can or can not be Shared with another.

Here’s MY opinion. Common Sense depends largely on the learning background of each person, what Priorities they were taught, the level of Intelligence & confidence and most importantly; whether they possess an Analytical mind. One that sees a bigger picture and the corresponding steps to reach the conclusion. Much like a Chess player that Sees several “moves” in advance while taking into account the Opponent’s several possible counter-moves. I feel it may be a Learnable skill, as any other skill but I’m not sure it’s Teachable. I do think that there is a Lot less of it today than eve 30 years ago. It’s diminishment has inspired me to Re-Title the book of C.S to a more accurate title; The Dumbing Down of America!!! -JMO

Stay Tuned & Happy Creating!

Vibe Commentary-3/22

Great day all,
The intro is still & will be the Same so I feel repetition isn’t needed.

Today’s Thought: Perspective
“We are all something, but none of us are everything.”- Blaise Pascal

Author’s Take: This take on Today’s thought is a mixture of both sides of the concept. At first it seems that we, as people, have dual beliefs of ourselves. We may believe in ourselves as an important part of the world and then, have doubts as to our value in that same world.
Ending with the thought that we matter but no more than anyone else, significant equally to all others in the world.

Ending Thought: “I can be happy with myself in the world, without distorting it one way or another.”

This has its own contradiction & I thought the Author’s Take, or my interpretation of it; was ambiguous at best and then ending with a Societal judgement of individual worthiness.
We ARE all something & we are all Everything. That ALL is an extension of Source Energy or God, the source from which we all originated and of the Loving Consciousness vibration that created our existence. In that, we ARE everything!

As for our worth or value to the expansion of the Universe, we all have the same creative ability or power to add to the advancement of the evolution of man and knowledge. Not all of us believe we have that ability, thereby what “Makes” any of us “better” or worse than any other is the belief each person has of themselves. (A belief a just a Habit of Though that is continuously Reinforced) Some are more In Tune with the energy of the vibrations of every idea or thought that is, ever was or will ever be. Those are the ones that bring about the material manifestations that change our world and society. The ones that act on the realization of the idea, as it finds its way to our minds and desires; create those changes. The ones who do not grasp the possibility of enacting a change or make use of the ability of creating beyond our daily existence in Reality, stand back and say, “I wish I’d thought of that” or “I had that idea…”.
I came to believe a long time ago that Universal intelligence or knowledge, in general, was available to everyone if they would allow themselves to “tap into” the stream of the Consciousness that literally, is the Universe. I didn’t realize then, that I knew of the Law of Attraction, by name; and of the pervasive Loving Energy of Source. I was only wanting to avoid the Religious aspect of someone else’s interpretation while still living my life.

So the LoA makes us all equal as extensions of Source, with the same opportunities as the rest. LoA responds to Every thought vibration exactly the same, every time, for everyone. What makes us unequal is how we think of what we are worth; not to others but to ourselves. What other’s evaluation of Our worth or Deservedness is not as important as your own. In our Attraction based Universe, with the LoA managing & collecting like vibrations, Your level of Self-Esteem is what vibration you attract in & from others. Everything, living and inanimate; in the Universe is made of the same thing, Energy. The energy of Source/God which is a vibrational result of the energy of Loving thought. The differences come from the variations of the Frequency of the vibration. A glass of Ice Water holds Three separate vibrational frequencies, simultaneously. Add tea leaves and the three adapt to accommodate the new vibration because WE Want Tea…and so it goes with Everything else.

Being happy should not be rooted in a Physical Condition (I’ll be happy when…) but as a result of the Anticipation of the next moment of Joy & Satisfaction brought forth by your desire to Feel Good as much as possible. We create Our Own reality with the Thought & Emotional vibrational offerings that LoA attracts the Like thought/vibration to it/you. With every thought, we “distort” the world. We are meant to create, to bring New to now & to be Individually Unique extensions of the Whole.-JMO

Vibe Commentary-3/19

Greetings all,
The intro is still & will be the Same so I feel repetition isn’t needed.

Today’s Thought: Making Decisions
“Never cut down a tree in the winter. Never make a negative decision in the low time. Never make your most important decisions when you are in your worst moods. Wait. Be patient. The storm will pass. The spring will come.”- Robert H. Schuller

Author’s Take: Correcting mistakes when things “go Wrong” or passing an opportunity because of a fear of continuing the cycle of errors because we think we can do something better the next time a similar situation arises.

Ending Thought: “If I’m in a bad mood, I will put off making important decisions until my outlook and judgement improve.”

The overall theme here, I believe, is to avoid making decisions that affect your life, at the time; when your attitude is less than Joyful. Great Advice! Whenever you’re angry or upset, disappointed or frustrated, decisions are best left for a better time. We all know those who have made Poor choices during disruptive moods. The results, of course, were less than favorable, without exception. We may all have had similar experiences. It’s a hard lesson to learn and harder still, to employ.
When someone does something we disagree with, that goes against our opinion or belief and we allow ourselves to become angry or upset in some manner; we want to assert our belief as the right one. We feel the need to justify why we became upset and believe they are wrong. We may want revenge or retaliation against those who we feel wronged us. We lash out in anger, choosing to react instead of respond.

There are many Psychological explanations for this behavior. Everything from evolution of early man, in defense of his safety to learned traits of society or reactionary belief systems. Here is where many find the LoA is Not their Mother, to sooth & console them. LoA Draws to it/you the very thoughts you’re thinking. Adding the emotion of Anger or Fear only compounds the Momentum of Creation your thoughts started.

We have evolved past the point of animal-like behavior, no longer Needing to snap back in defence of territory, food or mating rights.

Our thoughts create the emotions we feel when our moods & attitudes. Our feelings dictate our reactions and better choices can be made when we are in a clearer, calmer demeanor. If we have a loss of control, we blame the circumstance at the time for “causing” us to have whatever bad reaction comes.

This is an Attraction based Universe. LoA shows us that no one can Assert their influence upon us without our aligning to Their vibrations! It’s as simple as not thinking we a say in how we feel, when the truth is; we are the only ones that Can determine that. More accurately, we react to situations we encounter without consciously (meaning we don’t realizing we are) thinking of what we will do. It’s a Knee-Jerk response, like an injured or trapped animal. We pride ourselves on having a higher intellect, a superior mind and being more evolved than “lower” forms of life. Even though we claim this, we still React as animals do when confronted with adversity.
We can use our minds to reason (justify) our way through any situation if we only take a few seconds to evaluate the event and to consider the consequences of the action we might take. This takes practice, a willingness to want to change our behavior and a desire to learn new methods of response.

By the Law of Attraction, most situations can be avoided before they occur by maintaining focus away from those types of events. Television shows, the news media, and complaining companions can help influence our “bad” behavior by directing our focus to what we see and hear. The more often we subject ourselves to this kind of stimulation, the more we’re apt to follow the examples of behavior we allow into our focus.
We have the ability to create the safe, happy, calm environment we really want.-JMO

Today’s Thought: Following Our Feelings
“I pay no attention to anybody’s praise or blame. I simply follow my own feelings.”- Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Author’s Take: Feelings are the instincts we all have about everything we experience. Coupled with time we learn what feels best to each of us. Intuition should be trusted and when we don’t follow them, we make mistakes. These errors in judgement help us learn to make better choices in the future.

Ending Thought: Before I listen to what everyone else thinks I should do, I’ll take some time to figure out how I feel about the situation. Maybe I will need the help of others, but I don’t need to follow what others think.

This is a great sentiment from Mozart and may explain how or why he became so well known as a composer besides for his music. He is still revered today. Even after he went deaf, he went on to create some of his best works by following the feelings of instinct. He also created some that were not good enough to keep.

Here is the very basis of the Law of Attraction; your feelings and emotions are your Guidance System for understanding what IS the best choice for any situation.

So how is it we make errors of judgement or mistakes that take us away from the things we desire? The only answer can be; that we Don’t listen or pay attention to what we feel. Instinct is defined as- a Natural aptitude or ability- to know what is best for us.
What gives us this Knowing is our Spirit or Inner-Being, which is the Non-Physical extension of the Energy that created the Universe and everything in it. Some will call this God, Allah or Source Energy. This eternal part of our being thinks right along with us on every subject we put our attention to. It has an opinion of that subject, regardless of what it is; and divinely Knows how it will affect the path to what we want. This information, as is all information & thought; is a Vibration that LoA responds to. It gathers like vibrations to it, Which also means it attracts to it like Thoughts as well. So, if LoA attracts like thoughts, it stands to reason that those thoughts are Available in the Energy of the Universe. Every thought ever thought or yet to Be thought exists and can be attracted by the Human Mind. I feel that from this perspective, that as Source/God/We, DOES know everything…

Our Instinct is the Feeling we get when we want to decide whether or not to interact with the subject at hand. You might remember, as a child Sneaking a candy into your pocket. Knowing it was “Wrong”, you Felt fear. That was an Instinctual feeling of danger. If the feeling is one of joy, happiness or satisfaction, Spirit is in Agreement with the decision; if we feel other than Good about the subject, then our Spirit doesn’t agree with our thoughts on the matter.

What we have labeled as Mistakes are only thinking we know better than the extension of God/Source within us. We use the excuse that Experience has “Taught Us Better” and that we learn from our mistakes. We do not learn from the things we have done incorrectly but from the things we have done well.

The times when we get an Urge to Do something or Go in a direction we “think” is not the way to what we want. These Impulses or Inspirations come from your Inner-Being advising the best course toward your current Desire thought vibrations. When we Feel Good about what we have done or we feel strongly about a topic, continue to find what about it Feels Good & keep the focus on that feeling as log as it lasts.

I quote Buddha once again; who said, “Follow no leader but be your own light.” I think this is the same thing Mozart is saying here. Listen to what Others say or believe but make Your own decisions and do what You FEEL is the Best Choice for You!!-JMO

Today’s Commentary 3-11

This daily rant will be a Quote of the Day, taken out of a gift from my oldest daughter. It’s called, “The Daily Book of Positive Quotations”, by Linda Picone.* I’m including the Quote of the Day with the Author’s comment and the “Affirmation” noted afterwards. I’ll comment from my perspective & understanding of the Law of Attraction (LoA) to the overriding thought of the author and Quote and offer my Opinion for that Vibe.

If you have read or are following this thread of Vibrational Offerings; you’ll notice that I skip a few days. This is not because I felt the Daily Quote on those days, were any less important but because they didn’t offer a point of view that inspired sufficient contrast on which to comment.

Today’s Thought: Thoughts of Change
“Change your thoughts and you change your world!”- Norman Vincent Peale

Author’s Take: Today the author alludes to the idea of (PMA) Positive Mental Attitude and the belief that what we think determines the outcome of the situations or opportunities we find along our Life Paths. Deciding that we Can or Can’t do something sets the belief in motion to verify our thoughts or beliefs. A lot of opportunities are lost because of the (mis)belief that we may not succeed.

Ending Thought: “If I catch a negative thought crossing my mind, I can toss it out and replace it with a more positive one.”

I can not think of this Author of the opening statement without remembering my youth and the beginnings of my understanding of how the mind has dominion over the physical by merely focusing our thoughts toward the desired outcome. I read his book, “Think & Grow Rich” at the age of 13. Today through the LoA, I have been able to put into words the ideas formed by this, as well as many other “Self-Help” writings!

This premises has been touted by many over time but more so in the last 3-4 decades. More people are accepting the concept of individual creativity through the power of the mind. It is even being studied by Science & Quantum Physics. As misunderstood as this concept is, it still works, for all. Like Gravity, you don’t have to know How it works or believe in it because you won’t Fall Up is you didn’t.
In a previous commentary I mentioned the very same concept put forth by Buddha over 2,500 years ago. He said; “We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world.”
That is a lot for most people to grasp wholly and accept as a (the) True Reality. Most folk look at their “world”; seeing everything that makes up the physical which we live in, as Reality and think/believe that the Physical is REAL!!! For the most part, that is correct because we can See, Feel, Hear & Taste it, Now. It is “REAL”, to the accepted idea of what reality has been.

In truth, NOW is already the past, as it has already occurred. Each moment that Passes by becomes the Past and a new Now is the Reality of the Present; until the next moment. Every moment in time is an opportunity to Start Over as each moment brings a New “Reality” into being…

Everything we see, came from a thought first. Had it not been thought of, it would not exist until someone thought it was needed, thereby bringing it into creation and reality.

So how does this allow us to “…change our world.”? The same way it has changed it throughout time. Early man needed a method of changing meat from the Raw, near indigestible into a Food we could eat. They learned to harness the power of Fire and how to Cook. We needed a more efficient manner of moving objects too heavy for us to carry, we developed the Wheel. These two simple concepts; that we, today take for granted; changed the entire world. Imagine where we would be without either or both those earliest thoughts of (desire) Need. We have since ‘Changed” our world with every new invention. Fire has become the Microwave (not the best example or product-to me) and the Wheel has become more efficient and adaptable to our needs, again.

What if we think of the Negative versions of the Positive ideas that have brought these changes. The wheel & fire have both been used as weapons to overpower and eliminate our perceived rivals; for whatever reason. The Microwave can and is used in a negative manner. These thoughts make the changes we accepted as we were told or taught, that it is for the benefit of the whole. From the earliest times, Tribes & Clans fought for land, food or mating rights, to today as we War on the world for Oil, precious gems or metals and food for everyone.

Where or how is the LoA involved with this process? We create our Own reality (Individually & Collectively). It is through our Thought & Emotional vibrational offerings and the response of LoA Attracting the Like vibrations to it; setting up a Momentum of Creation. As the early WE thought of the need for a Wheel, it was thought of and wanted by more than a few individuals. The collective thought & attention of the need brought about the manifestation of the physical object for use. LoA responds to each vibration draws more of the same vibration to it, making it stronger until the vibrations of the “desire” and the vibration of the Physical need match or synchronize and it becomes manifest.

We all believe and ACCEPT all we see as being as we see it, and it is so. We take for granted that it’s here but not how it Got here!! Where did the materials & resources for it’s creation come from? If we could all change the collective belief; as One Mind; the world we see would be the mirror of the new belief. The old belief would not or have ever existed being replaced by the Current reality.

This concept, this Universal law, this belief can be applied to the individual just as easily by a mental change of perspective. Buddha also said, “The mind is everything. What you think, you become.”
I think some clarity was lost in the translation, especially the word “…everything.” I believe it might have been meant to mean more of Supreme or Master. Giving the power of our thoughts an aspect of the All, bringing the human mind to the leading edge of creation of the Now reality.-JMO

Vibe Commentary-3/09 Happy Creating

Greetings all,
This will be a new point of view to most who may read this Blog. It may be a completely different perspective. I’ll not be “railing against the wind” but instead I am offering a common sense understanding of how the Law of Attraction (LoA) relates to the everyday things we all do. We all have “issues” that come from our Perspective; from where we want to feel “relief”.
If you read and follow this thread of Vibrational Offerings; you’ll notice that, now & then; I’ll skip a few days. This is not because I felt they were any less important but because they didn’t offer a point of view that inspired sufficient contrast on which to comment.

Today’s Thought: Divine Balance
“So divinely is the world balanced that every one of us, in our place and time, is in balance with everything else.”- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Author’s Take: This isn’t as concise or clear as usual. The author starts out saying we all agree, regardless of our beliefs; that the world, with all it’s components and life, is interconnected, with some sort of Divine order. The topic turns then, to Science, stating the correlation between a Butterfly’s wingbeat contributing to tornadoes in Texas and our most insignificant actions influencing the world order.

Ending Thought: I appreciate the miracle of the world. My life’s task is to determine my place in it.

I’ll start by asking if we can or should attribute the world and all we know, to a divine source? Usually, we connect the Divine to the religious concept of God’s involvement. If we look up the definition of divine it gives several examples of God related synonyms and an interpretation of powers outside of ourselves that bestows favorable results. Defined-*3: “proceeding from God or a god”
If we believe any of the Law of Attraction’s concepts, we should accept that we are extensions ( creations) of the Source of the very divinity we attribute to the creation of all. As such creations, we are also divine with powers of creation of our own. We create our own reality by our Thought & Emotional vibrational offerings. The circumstances we find ourselves in, that we observe around us, is a result of the thoughts we had along the way.
Even if you have a religious belief foundation, I think we all accept that we have some control over our lives, the things we Do, Say and Feel. This is Truly the only control we have!! Most religions allow for Free Will, giving us accountability for our deeds and their consequences. Unfortunately, most do not accept their responsibility for the events that happen as a result of the actions taken. If it turns out favorably, we attribute it to a divine Gift or our efforts and/or worthiness. We might show appreciation for the result, and should. However, if it does not work out in our favor; it’s God’s Will or plan.

The idea that to strive for understanding our role in the world is Not the reason we’re here. Our life is supposed to be one of Joy, Happiness, Success and Creation. That’s why we are here. I have a theory of our purpose in life, lending to expansion of the Universe. I won’t go into detail about it here. I explain that in greater detail in my upcoming book. I will say that our Desires or more, the creating and manifesting of them and the recognition of the achievemen;t all advance the energy of Love. That creation of Love, from Love, stimulates the Universal energy (or God, if that’s a more comfortable label). My theory is more involved than that but that isn’t today’s topic.
The “divine” is the topic. Where do we draw the line as to what is or isn’t Divine? Because most people connect the word Divine with the religious concept of god. There is a lot more information available today, about what we’ve been taught for the last 2,000 years and about the Perspective of Law of Attraction (theory), Energy from a new understanding and our place on the planet. Most will be a matter of Belief or the readiness to accept new information,

Since we Think out our Reality, by the things we Think & Feel; and we Are extensions of the “Source” of Creation; then our manifestation of the World, as we know it, could be considered a “Divine” creation.
Appreciate your surroundings and the way they work together in concert with one another. The “lower” beasts of the world do not worry about Their place in the world. They live their lives Happily, all their needs provided for by the Nature of their desires & LoA responding accordingly. As ALL living things come from the same Source, we all have the same basic connection to Source & with each other as well, as the energy that creates worlds. If we lived with the same mindset as “dumb animals”, we might be happier and more appreciative. Maybe ignorance IS bliss…
