The Law of Attraction - An Example Part Two

Continued from Part One...

Let's go back to our original statement: how do Joe and Cecil come together, even though their natural vibrational patterns are opposing? We have seen how Joe likes to pick fights, and his indifference as to his opponents. We have also seen how Cecil has reactivated the vibration of fear toward bullies.

Now, Law of Attraction goes to work. Normally Joe would never find Cecil. It is up to Cecil to attract to him such a one as Joe. Only by Cecil's continued attention to his fear of bullies can this occur. As Cecil continues to focus upon the incident at the peace meeting, his vibrational signal becomes more aligned to bullies.

One day soon after Cecil is walking down the street from the metaphysical bookstore and in his musings unwittingly takes a right instead of a left and goes walking down toward the gym. At this time it just so happens that Joe has completed his workout and is feeling rather sprightly and aggressive. Joe looks around at all of the others passing and vibrationally feels Cecil.

Cecil's vibration is saying 'do not come to me, bullies. I do not want to fight. Please do not send me a bully, I do not like violent people.', etc etc etc. Out of all of the dozens of people who are passing by at this moment, only Cecil is a vibrational match to Joe.

So what happens?

Joe gets a taunting smile on his face and that old devil takes over. He feels the joy of battle, and the comfort of the life force surging through him. Joe sees immediately that Cecil is physically d5B4elicate and decides that he will have a little 'fun' with him.

"Hey meat -- yeah YOU!" he says to Cecil.

"Who me??"

Joe bumps up against Cecil and sees the fear turn on in Cecil's eyes. This is music to Joe's senses.

"Hey you bumped into me!" Joe says, all the while shoving Cecil backward.

You get the idea. A conflict of greater or lesser proportion will ensue depending upon how strong is Cecil's fear of conflict. In this case, it has less to do with Joe than with Cecil. Although it takes two to tango, for Cecil it is entirely up to him how far this encounter will go. If Cecil is fearful enough of fighting, his vibration is now more and more powerful, and more and more of a match to Joe's always very powerful desire for conflict. In other words, Joe's vibration is always for a fight, and in order for Cecil to encounter Joe, Cecil must bring his vibration toward Joe's.

This is simply the law of 'like attracts like' at work. It is a situation often described as 'karmic.' 'Karma' is simply Law of Attraction. Those situations which seem to magnetically pull you into the middle of them, are simply your own attention to, and focus on, a vibration matching the situation, in the present. Your attention to the person or situation now being experienced actually attracted it to you, not the other way around. It's not someone else, or the universe, imposing itself into your life, even though it sure fee5B4ls like it! It is always and only your free will offering of vibration that attracts whatever is in your experience, to you.

You might say, "but Joe's actions are terrible! What if everyone were like Joe?"

But everyone is not like Joe.

Every being incarnated on earth is unique. If there were two people exactly alike, one of them would be superfluous! There are 6 billion humans, all with our own unique set of preferences. We are all different. We attract unto us that which is consonant with our preferences. That is how the universe works.

This planet is in absolutely perfect balance. For every vibration of hatred, there is a like vibration to match it. For every vibration based in love, there is one of like kind to match it. In the case of Cecil and Joe, there is Joe's love of spirited conflict to exactly match Cecil's fear of spirited conflict. The common denominator is spirited conflict!

Cecil remembers the delight of the neighborhood bully, in his pushing and shoving and taunting of him; his utter dismay that there existed persons in the world with (to Cecil) such a crude and brutal worldview. It is the apparent joy of conflict for some people, and his utter inability to deal with it, which is uppermost in Cecil's consciousness. That is what attracted Joe to him!

Joe and Cecil are an exact vibrational match, like two waveforms of the same frequency and phase. Cecil's vibration attracted Joe'sB68 vibration and they fit together like a key going into a lock.

Thus we see that the victim is more responsible for the crime than the perpetrator. Without a like vibration to match to, no criminal could ever find a victim! This is an outrageous, offensive, and counter-intuitive statement that is fully supported by the laws of the universe.

The Law of Attraction never misses. It is infallible, because it is woven into the very fabric of the universe.

Many people think that it would be a good idea if the world would just shape up and others would behave themselves. Then it would be easy to be happy, for we could just look around and see pleasant things! So well-intentioned people form groups and organizations to fight poverty and cancer and war, and stamp out corruption and pornography and many other things as well. But things get messy very quickly, for when everyone in the world is acting to control others, many toes are stepped on.

If you desire that others should act in a way which is comfortable for you, be sure that they are feeling the same way about your activities!

Now we have a recipe for conflict. There are now lots and lots of people all acting to control you, in their fear that you might do something to threaten them. And you are doing the same.

I'm sure that you have, at some point in your life, tried to accommodate the wishes of a group of people, whether it be family, friends, or co-workers, and you very quickly came to understand the difficulty of pleasing everyone. That is why I said above that not even God would attempt such an endeavor. But such grotesque circumstances can be avoided, with a clear understanding of the Law of Attraction.

Let's look again at the portrait of Cecil and Joe. Joe is happy with his bar fights and his sporting encounters in the gym. Cecil is happy with his metaphysical friends. Each can live harmoniously in his separate world without ever attracting the attention of the other.

Because Joe would be merely inconvenienced by a metaphysical discussion, whereas Cecil would be seriously incommoded in a fight, Cecil has the most at stake.

But Cecil, if he understood the Law of Attraction, would know clearly that it is his perfect guarantor of safety and protection. The solution for Cecil is to keep focused on what he wants. By focusing only on peace, harmony and abundance, he attracts these into his life and automatically places himself in a position where Joe cannot ever reach him, for unmatched vibrations are never co-incident.

This is a much more elegant way to run a universe! Now, instead of each person having to control the actions of everyone else, it is only necessary for each person to control his or her own vibrational space. Now we can dispense with the inevitable conflicts that result when people are trying to stick their noses in each other's busi5B4ness. Joe can have his confrontations and Cecil can have the group which feels most comfortable to him, without there ever being a conflict. If Cecil is focusing on his desires for peace and harmony, he does not take that wrong turn and so never encounters Joe.

Where the Cecil's of the world get into trouble is when they try to limit or constrain the Joe's of the world. By pushing against the Joe's, they only get more of them. What you resist will persist in your experience. It is simply an alignment of energy. The universe works always to align energy. That is why there is perfect balance everywhere. The planet orbits around the sun, rotates about its axis, the atmosphere stays glued to the planetary surface, rain falls, geologic processes function to keep the earth stable, seeds always grow into the same plant every time, larvae and embryo's grow into their proper form.

The forces which operate to maintain harmony and equilibrium in nature are so powerful they cannot even be measured.

It is for us only to trust to this vast, immense, power of well-being that surrounds us, and which penetrates the very structure of the universe. By trusting to the infallible energy matching power of the Law of Attraction, we need only attract into our experience that which is wanted, and preempt those things we do not want. Therefore, we do not need to control the actions of others in order to get what we wan597t, and so it is not necessary to go into so much conflicting action to produce a pleasant environment.

The allowance of the actions of others is the true definition of harmony. Harmony is not everyone thinking and acting alike, but an energetic agreement to live and let live. It is a friendly dance of vibration! Harmony means attracting to you what you would like, and allowing others to do the same.

It means that even in the midst of incredible diversity and contrasting preferences, there can be peace. "To each, his own", as the saying goes. It only requires an allowing of the diversity of opinion and action, without resistance, knowing that if not resisted, nothing that is not wanted can ever be drawn to you. This is the powerful simplicity, the trenchant clarity, the perfect elegance of universal law!
