The Practice of Recovery
If You Like What You're Getting,
Keep Thinking What You're Thinking
There's a saying in recovery that
goes something like this:
If you like what you're getting,
keep doing what you're doing.
The law of attraction would say:
If you like what you're getting,
keep thinking what you're thinking.
The essence of both sentiments are correct,
but nothing happens first without thought.
Quantum Physics states that not a single thing
is solid. Everything is free flowing energy and
this energy (including you) vibrates constantly. These
waves radiate outward at various frequencies and always
attract an exact match to it without exception.
The very low vibrations are created by anger,
fear, despair, agitation, insecurities, etcetera.
The higher the frequency, the better the emotion
and the quicker the match to it. It is not
simply a cash machine for which only
some of us have the pin number.
The law of attraction operates in the same
manner as any other Universal law.
Whether you fall from the bridge or jump
is irrelevant to the principle of gravity--it just is.
Gravity doesn't take a sabbatical every third
Tuesday and neither does the law of attraction.
It just is.
Of course your thoughts can't dictate any law
of gravity outcome. You cannot leap from the
penthouse balcony and expect any power of
intention to cushion your fall.
However, holding a lifelong mind set of
things never work out for me guarantees
you an existence of mediocrity and struggle.
When you occasionally manage to attract
something wonderful to you, the
thought will consistently be:
This is too good to be true--this can't last.
You got that right.
After giving a friend a basic breakdown
of Quantum Physics she replied,
"So this is just about getting what you want,
when you want and to hell with everybody else?"
Uh, no.
Contrary to every midnight infomercial, there
is no peace in financial abundance if it isn't
accompanied by abundance in all areas of your life.
Being number one at anything is phenomenal,
but how joyful is it really if it isn't coupled with
gratitude and compassion? It's meaningless.
And it's a life based on a separation from Truth.
I was so utterly taken aback by the accusatory
tone of the question that I completely missed
what caused my friend to react that way:
A fear of accountability conveniently
cloaked in self righteous indignation.
It's a startling concept that everything about
your life that you hate you actually created.
Who but you can think your thoughts?
It is precisely those thoughts that
manifest your reality -- period.
You and only you control what flows into
and out of your environment.
You invite each situation into your experience.
I can wish for you endless riches and
peace of mind, but if you continue to nurture
old ideas of how things never work out for you,
then things will never work out for you.
Your thoughts trump my good wishes.

Look again at my friend's question.
What is always underneath anger and resentment?
Fear.
She's afraid that the Universe will run out of
blessings by the time she gets to the front of the line.
If the rest of us are busy hoarding the endless
abundance then what sort of cosmic crumbs will be
left for her when "they" finally call her number?
Who can look at the Universe in
an honest way and a way of faith
and think there wouldn't be
enough for me?
She is operating from the exact
position of lack that continues to create
only what it can...more lack.
The paranoia of not getting her share generates
exactly that. She doesn't know that we're all
at the front of the line and that it's a choice
to see herself standing at the back of it.
And what does this notion create besides
more of what you don't want?
Greed, envy, competition, and wars.
There will never be enough for me so
I have to get mine any way that
I can even if it means taking yours.
The law of attraction does not have a
glass ceiling. Just because your neighbor
got a new toy does not mean the Universe
balances that out by withholding from you.
If cousin Mary is filled with gratitude
and joy does that mean there is less
happiness for the rest of your family?
Yes, if you continue to focus
on her haves and your have nots.
Thoughts expand.
