In various conversations I've had with people on the subject of "What's missing from the law of attraction", (see also Project Manage Your ...), often-times a disconcerting disconnect is evident.
Recently I sat in a meeting of people who discussed all sorts of spiritual matters and ideas, including the law of attraction etc.
When discussing the law of attraction, I asked a simple question that caused a fair bit of upset. And it's an obvious question that is often ignored, or avoided when people talk about 'attracting abundance' into their lives.
The question is this:
I've previously written about the importance and power of letting go the past, relationships that are 'toxic' and behaviours that aren't aligned with, or heading us towards health, wellbeing and happiness.
No surprise then to find others extolling the same approach.
This from a Sydney Morning Herald Spectrum article in which American author Augusten Burroughs is interviewed.
From the article:
Recently while at music festival I started chatting to someon who believes in the "100th Monkey Principle" — for those unfamiliar with the idea, here's an excerpt from Wikipedia
When chatting with a friend recently we discovered that we had (independently) come to a similar place in our lives — a wonderfully light, free and peaceful place.
We found that we each had arrived at this place by doing something exceedingly simple — we had finally "let go" blaming others, or blaming "out there" or "suffering" blame from others, or suffering or feeling lonely, or ...
I was chatting to a photographer today who's quite 'spiritually aware'. He's up to speed, so to speak, with the intuitive, artistic dimensions to life. In fact he spoke in terms of waves, and how we can build them (but not strictly from a quantum mechanical perspective -- but I digress).
As we chatted he suggested that I need to make my work more digestible, not so technical for the masses.
In recent years there's been much talk of the Law of Attraction, popularised in the film "The Secret".
As with many systems of belief, there is a great deal that is helpful and uplifting about the "Law of Attraction". We can and do attract favourable (or unfavourable) 'things' into our lives, based on our beliefs.
But the attractive principle is a deeply feminine energy - it's reliant on the receptive (on receiving); of being open and inviting.
As a small business owner, you've probably heard about the growing need for creativity and innovation. Let's put things in perspective. Firstly, we know that franchised businesses are generally more profitable and successful. We've heard the rule-of-thumb regarding the 80/20 rule. 80% of small businesses go out of business in the first 5 years, while the reverse is true of franchises - 80% of franchises are not only still in business, but thriving.
So what do franchises get right?
As has been more clearly and forcefully articulated by (Emeritus) Prof. Robert Jahn of Princeton, understanding the deeper complimentary and interdependent nature of 'masculine' and 'feminine' is immensely important to the future survival of our species.
