Perspective

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

Moods & Choices

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

Feelings Are Our Guide

TP*

Today’s Commentary-3/13

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

The Matrix-?

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…

Self-Confidence

Vibe Commentary-3/02

Greetings all,

Today’s Thought: Self-Confidence
“Did you ever see an unhappy horse? Did you ever see a bird that had the Blues? One reason that birds and horses are not unhappy is because they are not trying to impress other birds and horses.”- Dale Carnegie

Author’s Take: A comment of a disapproving shape or the state of condition of a vehicle or an unnoticed comment or action lend to our feelings of inadequacy. Our daily performances give us a feeling of pride that is short lived if it is not noticed or approved of by others. Until we know what others think, we’re not satisfied with ourselves.

Ending Thought: What others think of me matters, but it shouldn’t matter as much as what I think of myself.

Self confidence comes from a sense of pride and worthiness in knowing one’s self; our actions, knowledge or abilities. We want the recognition of those around us and even more, if we do something we feel is important or clever or better that what someone else has done. If we have a small accident or misspeak, we are embarrassed. What has made the opinions of others of so much value comes from the richest person in the tribe had the most…Horses, cattle, property, wives…! So mankind developed the Habit of Thought (Beliefs) that prosperity and worth came from Quantity of Possession. We still practice this today and it judged by peers and others alike. If no one were looking, would the gathering of “things”, the accumulation of “Stuff” be as important or make us Feel any better?

Animals don’t feel as we do. Yes, I believe they (at least my dogs) have Emotions similar to ours. I see the Love in their eyes, the Joy on their faces as they run through a field or the remorse when they’ve done something they shouldn’t have. They are almost always happy, with or without Toys, a roof, regular food. If their situation changes, they adapt quickly and don’t look back and Pine for the “better times” of the past!! As long as their Human gives them attention, or if on their own, they can be safe; they ARE happy. They don’t see another dog in a Mercedes & wish it was them…


What we feel of ourselves is important. In fact, it’s THE most important feeling we can have. Our self worth and values come from within. “Self-…” is the prefix that tells us that our value or worthiness depends on OUR opinion of ourselves. We crate our own reality and that starts with our Self-Worth. No one else came truly Make us do or feel anything. We may react (out of Habit) to a word; kind or hurtful, but it’s just that, a reaction; which is a choice. The choice to accept the feeling we assign to it also comes from within.

Happy creating. Live a life of Joy!
(This has been my interpretation of the LoA and my opinion of it’s application)

Keeping it Positive??

Tree of Knowledge

Vibe Commentary-3/01

Greetings all,
This will be a new point of view to most who may read this Blog. This Blog may be completely different in perspective. I’ll not be “railing against the wind” but instead I am offering a (my) 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 Perspectives; 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 I didn’t find a point of view that inspired sufficient contrast on which to comment.

Today’s Thought: Keeping it Positive
“A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.”-Herm Albright

Author’s Take: The feeling here is that people (seemingly ALL people) that have an attitude, either positive or negative, are “Charged” (I read that as- obligated) with the opposite feeling due to a self imposed guilt or at the very least, a desire to annoy another. Worse yet, in my opinion, is that those that are feeling a negative emotion are the (easy) targets of the rest; fair game to ridicule or make “sport” of.

Ending Thought: This seems to begin well enough but quickly turns. The thought here appears to be that upon encountering anyone; more so those with a less than assured or confident outlook, should be looked at as subjects whose negative reactions are to be observed & when presented, countered (we call it-Advise) with either an Optimistic or Encouraging position or inclination. Annoying them for the sake of annoying them, when we have all felt the same way at one time or another…

As I’ve mentioned before; I have been a student of PMA (Positive Mental Attitude) since my early teens. I’ve read as many books as I could find or those my father “forced” me to read. The first was “How to Win Friends and Influence People” by Dale Carnegie. I later became involved with their Training course, selling to business and conducting the initial classes & seminars . Through this experience, I was able to ‘Observe” how the very behavior the author of the book, I reference and am commenting on; (“The Daily Book of Positive Quotations”, by Linda Picone.* and using as a springboard for my commentary), uses to define how being Mean or Sarcastic, is how to respond to those with negative feelings; as long as it’s in the name of Positive Thinking, seems to appear as an acceptable course of action, if for no other reason than for the sake of one’s own entertainment.
This to me, is Not Positive Thinking, even in its most rudimentary definition. Originally, PMA has been around a while. It was believed that maintaining a Positive thought of what was wanted would bring about the Desired outcome. Seems logical, think Positive, get Positive results. The Law of Attraction’s constant response to the vibrations offered; “That which is like unto itself, is drawn”, positive thinking should yield positive attraction. However, most people do not maintain their focus on the Desire but instead, hold the thought of the Absence or Lack of what is wanted. LoA will Attract more of That!! Therefore, if you are “antagonizing” another to evoke an emotion or reaction to observe, you are also Attracting the essence of that which you are offering. In other words, you’ll be offering that same response in yourself.

Finding a Negative (attitude in a) person and prodding at it with your Positive attitude, will not help or improve their outlook or perspective. More often than not, you will create a more negative feeling in them and in You. This is due to the “Alignment of the vibrational Energy” the two people have in regards to the Subject matter at hand. LoA responds to the most dominant vibration and attracts more of the same to it. If you’re wanting to UpLift someone who’s exhibiting signs of Negativity (Doubt, Anger, Sadness…), pointing out the negative will only increase the feelings and compound them by your perspective of the other’s attitude.


Keep in mind, I honestly believe; much to the chagrin of those who know or talk with me, that if people get their Feelings Hurt or become angry, frustrated or any other emotional response; it is entirely of Their own doing. We, as much as we’d like to believe we can, are not able to control the feelings of others. It is their Choice. Society, outdated values of Morality and the habits of consequences dictates our behavior towards others, for centuries now. Outdated social needs of the Tribe or Clan, Religious leaders or doctrine and the lack of knowledge about the makings of the Universe, brought about Beliefs. A belief is just a Habit of Thought that is constantly Reinforced. The general population of the world has used these practices and beliefs as an excuse or reason (same thing, no?) to start wars, exact revenge or any number of Consequential standards to justify their actions against others. Where was the Positive Thinking there?

Positive Thinking, from the LoA and My perspective is more about holding Positive aspects of that and those around us. Maintaining an attitude of Appreciation and satisfaction will attract more of the same. This seems like a more pleasant way to pass the time we have here. -JMO

Perspective

Vibe Commentary-1/29

Greetings all,
This will be a new point of view to most who may read this Blog. This Blog will be completely different in perspective. I’ll not be 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 Perspectives; from where we want to feel “relief”.

Today’s Thought : Courage
“Courage is doing what you’re afraid to do.There can be no Courage unless you’re scared.”- Eddie Rickenbacker
Author’s Take-This seems to come from a standpoint of Fear being, if not the motivation to persevere, the guage we use to judge the level of safety in approaching a task. Acknowledging Fear, even though being embarrassed to admit it.
Ending Thought: “It’s ok for me to be afraid. I can admit this to myself and others and still the things that frighten me.”

We use (especially Male…) pride to motivate ourselves into doing things outside our Comfort Zone despite the reluctance to do so. Everything from killing a spider in the Shower to jumping out of a perfectly sound airplane to skydive for the first time, requires a level of courage, the will to Overcome fear and deep inside, the knowledge (and anticipation) of success. The anticipation of doing something we’ve admitted (if only to ourselves) “makes” us afraid… (to do, act, say) but do Jump right in without the thought of Failing, is what most See as Courage..

On an emotional level, Fear and Excitement are the same emotion, to our brain and body. The only difference is one of Perspective; how the person thinks the experience will impact their life.
The “Fear” of the first, long upward climb of a RollerCoaster brings fear into play as the train slowly clanks and creeks higher and higher; the crest of the first Drop looming ahead with nothing but empty sky beyond. We look down, just before reaching the summit and experience the Fear of Heights exhilaration, the rush of Adrenaline raising our heart beat and we hold our breath, lest we fall. The first cars are dropping over the ridge and our fear turns to Excited Anticipation, mixed with the lingering fear of the height; we plunge over the top and race down the slope at Break-neck speed, Free, Happily Screaming, thrilled with the physical sensation of Flight and Freedom. A letting go of everything as the body and Spirit prepare to transition to Non-Physical…Our vibrational alignment between our physical being and our Inner Being, is in tune. During this experience the emotion felt was the same kind of energy as was felt by the Fear. If charted on a Brain Frequency monitoring device; like an EKG, the results would show the same electrical impulses, within reason; given that the stimuli was comparable.

At first I didn’t feel that the author’s view offered any resistance or much contrast. I was not going to comment other than to agree, for the most part with her interpretation. On re-reading the context I thought better as the vibration I felt reading those words brought an emotion, a feeling of un-ease. I don’t disagree entirely with the Author’s perspective. However, in the perspective of LoA; acknowledging the unwanted only strengthens the (unwanted) vibration which causes more of the same vibration to be attracted to it, adding to the Momentum of Creation of the unwanted.
When we acknowledge fear, we focus our attention on the emotion of Anxiety/Fear/Excitement AND that which we observed that gave rise to the Feeling. The physical sensation is the same, only the person’s perspective manifests it into whichever label fits the situation. In the simplest sense, overcoming Fear is not to face it head-on but to recognize the source of the emotion, understand that the emotion is your Indicator of your reality at the moment and Choose to Feel differently. Like the Roller Coaster ride described earlier, the range of emotions covers the spectrum during the first 3 minutes of the ride. The Physical experience changes only when the person Chooses to experience the Joy of the moment or to cower in terror.

So now we have more tools of Choice, to feel the best, the happiest or most joyful at every moment. Living in the Now. When we know what a thing IS and we learn how to use it to our benefit, we can Choose how to use it to provide the easiest path to our desires. In other words; choose the feeling that feels the best. You can change your feelings, emotions and responses by simply making the Choice to do so. Happy Creating!

Courage

Vibe Commentary-1/29

Greetings all,
This will be a new point of view to most who may read this Blog. This Blog will be completely different in perspective. I’ll not be 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 Perspectives; from where we want to feel “relief”.

Today’s Thought : Courage
“Courage is doing what you’re afraid to do. There can be no Courage unless you’re scared.”- Eddie Rickenbacker


Author’s Take-This seems to come from a standpoint of Fear being, if not the motivation to persevere, the gauge we use to judge the level of safety in approaching a task. Acknowledging Fear, even though being embarrassed to admit it.


Ending Thought
: “It’s ok for me to be afraid. I can admit this to myself and others and still the things that frighten me.”

We use (especially Male…) pride to motivate ourselves into doing things outside our Comfort Zone despite the reluctance to do so. Everything from killing a spider in the Shower to jumping out of a perfectly sound airplane to skydive for the first time, requires a level of courage, the will to Overcome fear and deep inside, the knowledge (and anticipation) of success. The anticipation of doing something we’ve admitted “makes” us afraid… (to do, act, say) but do Jump right in without the thought of Failing, is what most See as Courage..

On an emotional level, Fear and Excitement are the same emotion, to our brain and body. The only difference is the person’s Perspective; how they think the experience will impact their lives.
The “Fear” of the first, long upward climb of a RollerCoaster brings fear into play as the train slowly clanks and creeks higher and higher; the crest of the first Drop looming ahead with nothing but empty sky beyond. We look down, just before reaching the summit and experience the Fear of Heights exhilaration, the rush of Adrenaline raising our heart beat and we hold our breath, lest we fall. The first cars are dropping over the ridge and our fear turns to Excited Anticipation, mixed with the lingering fear of the height; we plunge over the top and race down the slope at Break-neck speed, Free, Happily Screaming, thrilled with the physical sensation of Flight and Freedom. A letting go of everything as the body and Spirit prepare to transition to Non-Physical…Our vibrational alignment between our physical being and our Inner Being, is in tune. During this experience the emotion felt was the same kind of energy as was felt by the Fear. If charted on a Brain Frequency monitoring device; like an EKG, the results would show the same electrical impulses, within reason; given that the stimuli was comparable.

At first read, I didn’t feel that the author’s view offered any resistance or much contrast. I was not going to comment other than, perhaps to agree, for the most part; with her interpretation. On re-reading the context I thought differently as the vibration I felt reading those words brought an emotion, a feeling of un-ease. I don’t disagree entirely with the Author’s perspective. However, in the perspective of LoA; acknowledging the unwanted only strengthens the (unwanted) vibration which causes more of the same vibration to be attracted to it, adding to the Momentum of Creation of the unwanted.

Understanding the Law of Attraction

Today’s
Commentary-1/27

Greetings all,
This will be a new outlook to most who may read this Blog. Others may have a basic understanding of Gnostic knowledge. Some will reject my ideas, some will accept the concepts within. This Blog is meant to offer a completely different perspective. I’ll not be “railing against the wind” but instead I am offering a Common Sense approach to understanding how, I see that the Law of Attraction relates to the everyday things we all do. We all have “issues” that come from our Perspectives; a place from where we want to feel “relief” if not Satisfaction.

This daily (as much as I am able) 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.* It had been a very Up-lifting read and a daily reflection with a point of view I usually didn’t awaken with. (I highly recommend having some kind of Daily read; to get your mind/brain started).
For the first couple of years, I was inspired by most of what I read. As I grew more aware of the nature and my understanding of the Law of Attraction and how it affects us/me at every moment, there were fewer & fewer passages that resonated with me. As of this writing, I have stopped reading the book altogether, except for a few Quotes I kept separate for my own collection.

I will include the Quote of the Day with it’s author and the “Affirmation” noted afterwards. I will apply my understanding of the Law of Attraction (LoA) to the overriding thought of the author and Quote and offer my Opinion for that Vibe. I welcome any comment or perspective in response. I think this will help give some, more clarity to the most common questions we ask ourselves everyday.

Today’s Thought: THANKFULNESS
“Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we did not learn a lot today, at least we learned a little. And if we didn’t learn a little, at least we didn’t get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn’t die, so let us all be thankful” – Buddha

Author’s Take: Most people are the most thankful when they have the most problems and that Facing a Crisis makes us more appreciative.

Ending Thought: “I will start and end today thinking about how fortunate I am, right here, right now.”

The belief that Gratitude & Appreciation brings not only Happiness but material “blessings or offerings” is a wonderful idea, as long as it’s the result of a Struggle or Crisis/problem that was Solved. Otherwise, it was just luck or Fate.

Law of Attraction draws the vibration of Thankfulness to the vibration of the thought of Appreciation or whichever is Dominant. If it comes from a vibration of Lack and/or Problems with no expectation of solution, more of that will “manifest” in your experience. Appreciation, however, comes from a position expecting the having…

When we Face Our Problems, we perpetuate the very things we are wanting to Overcome or avoid. As all things in the Universe vibrate from the Energy from which they are created. EVERYTHING vibrates, at different frequencies and rates. LoA states, “That which is alike unto itself, is drawn”

When we say Thanks or are thankful, we do so from a position of Not Having; whatever it is we’re Thankful for, and not from a position of Appreciation. The definition of Appreciation is “the Act of estimating the qualities of things and giving them an appropriate value (to us). Thankfulness is expressing Gratitude or Appreciation”- but the Synonym aligns it to Beholden and Obliged or Obligated. That means that you came by something you needed because you didn’t have enough. A position of Lack! When you think or desire or ask from a Lack mindset, you activate the vibrational ripple that attracts more of the same vibration that continues to gain strength and Momentum; like a snowball rolling down a hill. We acknowledge gifts and acts of kindness, only because it is society’s norm of civil behavior. It’s not a requirement of the Universe.
How do we appreciate and maintain vibrational harmony? To appreciate your receiving of…by recognizing it’s value to you and any cost incurred by a giver. Be happy to receive or Allow from the heart (love).
Appreciation is the vibrational equivalent to Love and the Absence of everything Bad and the Presence of everything Good.

I fully agree with the day’s affirmation. We should all think of the good things in our lives by appreciating How it makes us Feel!! The feeling you have from the knowing (thoughts) of what you have is what causes you to be happy from the Appreciation. The feeling of being Thankful, however, comes from feeling a debt or obligation to someone for Doing something FOR you. We feel a need to repay kindnesses or gifts. This comes from learning shame instead of appreciation and Allowing or Accepting. Instead we are taught to be thankful; bringing the energy of Shame into the process of receiving. As always, when we focus on a Vibration/Thought/Energy or Feeling, Law of Attraction & the Universe/Source provides more of the same.

In the Ending Thought, the important part of the phrase is; “…right here, right now.”. This is the most important part to understand because most people do not live in the Now but in their past or imagined futures. Neither of which where we have any power or control.

Most people think of the Past in terms of the things that attracted the most attention. Memories are made of Things, Events, Places and People that affected our Experience at That time. At some later point in time, we showed some appreciation for whatever IT was. We recall the feeling then & come to believe it was the (thing) that “caused” the joy felt then. We “learned to live Conditionally; “…if I have That, I’ll be Happy”. Not realizing that the perceived happiness felt, Imagining having it was the “cause” of it appearing in our experience.

My desire for us all is to; Embrace your Joy, everyday. Focus on the Elements & Thoughts of the things that allow you to Feel Good. Have fun, even in the things we usually think bring us no joy.

There is much more in this simple idea. If you want to know more, learn a way to a new perspective and how to be Happier more; follow this Blog, comment and Ask Questions.

Happy creating. Live a life of Joy!
(This has been my interpretation of the LoA and my opinion of it’s application)
