Law of Attraction

You can't will it and you can't force it, but you can attract it with intention and faith. You know how the Law of Attraction works, why else would you be drawn to some people and want to avoid others. Your vibrations are either in sync or they are not. Vibrations are the core of manifestation. When you focus on an idea with your thoughts, those thoughts set up a vibration that reflects the energy of those thoughts. Those vibrations in turn create a vortex that attracts other like-vibrations to it. This continues on until the formless becomes formed. What happens when you very much want something to resolve itself into form and it doesn't seem to be happening? That's where faith comes in. You have to believe in and trust the Law of Attraction. You must have faith that it works the way it works. And the greater the faith, the faster it works. How do you build faith? Like anything else, you practice. You practice by being aware that the Law of Attraction does work. Sometimes you have to find yourself up against a wall before you stop trying to force it and are willing to give up and allow it to happen. Quite a few years ago I arrived in Santa Rosa, California from New York City with two dogs, two cats, and my mentally challenged granddaughter who I was raising. I had no job, but I knew what temp agencies paid. I had no house, but I knew what rents were. I also knew there was a holistic community here. I distinctly remember standing on a street corner and surrendering. I passed the baton: "There is no way that I know how to find a good special education school, a house that will take pets, and a good job in a town I don't know. It's your turn, Spirit, take it away." And of course, Spirit did. It all fell into place. I had done two things. I had surrendered and I had faith. Practice surrendering to the Universal flow and then be aware of what shows up. Often times there are things that appear that you couldn't have dreamed up but they are very, very right. Sometimes the timetable is nothing you would have thought up-it's either faster or slower and takes you by surprise. Just keep observing. Each demonstration will deepen your faith. Your thoughts, turn into an intention that is filled with faith that creates your life experience. You make it up. You direct it. You choose it. You are responsible for it. If you don't like it, you know what you can do-change your thoughts, change your intentions. If you do like it you also know what to do, keep thinking and intending the way you have been. Even when you've been practicing faith in the Law of Attraction for a long time, you may hit times when you wish things would manifest a little faster, or a little more clearly. That's a good time to ask for signs from the Universe. Ask for a sign you are on the right path. Ask for a sign that you are making the right choice. Ask for a sign that it's on its way. Then keep a look out, for there will be many signals. Set your intention, believe in the Law of Attraction, surrender, trust and have faith. I rest in sweet serenity I need only do that which is in front of me. All that I need comes to me as I need it, all the resources, the clarity and the opportunities. The power and plenty of God Is bigger than any situation I face. I am guided and supported each step of the way. I rest in sweet serenity -Rev.
