What's Your Preference:
Guilt, Blame...or Neither?
Attention: Do not read this if you just have recently suffered a traumatic
event!
(I am not joking; you would want to strangle me.)
When something happens to you that brings on the most horrendous feelings,
you probably tend to react either by blaming others
or else take the blame and burden of guilt upon yourself.
Neither of these two options produces a successful outcome... they will only
lead you to attract similar events.
You may think: Well, this was exceptional; this was an isolated event.
But take some time and ponder on the reality; was it truly an isolated
event? Or
was it part of a pattern? Have you experienced
the same kind of feelings/results in your life before? When?
Look back and you may recall numerous situations that provoked the same
response...
sometimes from your earliest childhood.
When you take the time to focus on the feeling experienced in these
situations,
you will find past events that yielded the same reaction.
Do you tend to attract accidents, angry people, roller coaster financial
situations, or what?
Think honestly while kindly opening your consciousness to the possibilities,
and begin to observe the pattern in your life.
You want to stop this pattern, but neither guilt nor blame will do the
trick.
You see, we create absolutely everything in our lives: the good and
the bad. The universe works like an atomic clock...automatically. Thoughts
send out a signal and attract things and events to themselves.
We often deny this simple fact because we fail to see which thought process
actually attracted this event into our realm of experience.
A colleague of my husband's was growing increasingly angry about his life.
He expressed his dissatisfaction and rage every day for a few months, after
which he experienced a car accident. Which angered him all the more.
The cycle of creation was attracting similar creations. Now if you had told
this person that
he was responsible for attracting that accident himself, he might strangle
you.
And you couldn't blame him; he would not see the connection between
the "SOB" who ran his car over and his own rage towards his wife for
divorcing him.
In scenarios such as this, awareness of the law of attraction easily allows
you to
connect the dots. Without this understanding, your beliefs and thoughts that
attract
patterns of events in your life go unnoticed and uncontrolled.
You may have been thinking these thoughts for years; they now actually
construct your
"reality". That's just life...may be your conclusion.
These beliefs are like the patterns on the wallpaper in your office.
You literally don't see them anymore.
You might even consider these beliefs to be truth because by now you have
plenty of proof that they are true. Of course you have attracted
into your life all the proof needed to validate your belief. To you right
now,
false assumptions may have become your "truth" in this way. The fact that
they are only your beliefs lies hidden by your ability to continue
attracting
events that prove out your "truth". From this position you can't even dream
that by changing these beliefs you could change your "reality" and begin
attracting
new experiences.
Whenever you see a repeating pattern in your life... or you seem to be
attracting
events you don't want... ask yourself this question: Knowing from the law
of attraction that I am emitting a signal to the universe that attracts
these events, which of my beliefs is responsible for this pattern?
If you feel stuck with this question, step back and ask it in a way that is
safe and non-threatening: "What belief might someone have in order
to attract this event/situation in their life?"
In our society we tend to either blame or feel guilty; both lead
nowhere because there is no inner change. Consequently, you may continue to
emit the same vibrations from the same unconscious beliefs
that have been powerfully dominating your vibrations for years.
Last week in my advanced class we worked on discovering unconscious
beliefs that produced a lack of steady abundance in the lives of the
participants.
We "dug in" for an hour and it was fascinating how many beliefs
came to the surface when we simply asked the question stated above.
After each belief was stated, I asked them what evidence they could
observe in their lives that proved out the truth of their belief.
It was fascinating how many events they had attracted throughout
the years that helped confirm their own erroneous belief.
Persevering with the digging, each participant finally came to a
core belief that they never knew they had. An ah ah! moment.
Once you unearth an unconscious belief, you hold power to change your life
immediately. You can stop the action of this creation pattern forever.
I remember a pattern I discovered one day while doing this exercise.
I used to experience very minor accidents that created dings and dents on my
car.
When I dug into it, I found an anger toward my father for valuing the
physical
"stuff" more than he valued us as his children. So by my subconscious
actions
I was "getting even" with him, showing him that I didn't care about the
material stuff. I realized that my unconscious was just getting back
at daddy that way. Well, as soon as I unraveled this thought, I realized
I didn't have to keep running into things...it really didn't produce the
effect
I was looking to achieve with this behavior. Since that realization,
I have never bumped into anything with my car again.
When you uncover a belief, you have the power to dissolve it and let it go.
It will change your life.
Now instead of blaming the economy, the neighbor, your wife, or yourself...
just stop and think: What belief do I hold that has attracted this into
my life? And if you persevere you will find it, and a new pattern of
creation--one that really brings you happiness--will begin immediately!
There is no feeling more exciting than that of knowing you are finally
in control of your life!
Warmly,
