The Law of
Attraction states that 'like attracts like.' Many people look on this as
some kind of new-age nonsense, but it is firmly grounded not only in the
laws of matter, but also in human relationships. Let's take a look at
how 'like attracts like' applies to real life.
Rick and Sam are both
tired of their jobs as salesmen for a big corporation, and both want
to start a new business. Sam thinks that it would be a great idea,
but that it’s really impossible.
Rick decides that although he has no
employees, infrastructure, or money, it’s going to happen. On the
way home from a conference in another city, Sam is sitting next to
Bill. Sam is tired and grumpy, thinking about his crummy job and how
he wants out. Bill leans over to start a conversation but Sam turns
away, looking out the window. After the plane lands Sam is waiting
for his ride when a woman bumps up against him. “Sorry,” she says,
and is about to make chit–chat, but Sam is irritable and moves away.
When Bill leans over to talk to Rick,
however, Rick is receptive, for he has been making plans during the
entire flight and is feeling juiced. They shoot the breeze for a
while and Bill mentions that he’s about to retire after 30 years
from a well paying executive position. It turns out that Bill, in
his late middle age and with a fat bank account, finally wants to
take some risks in his life; he’s tired of his corporate job and is
looking for a challenge in his retirement. Bill, in his fantasies,
has always dreamed of managing a small start–up but never had the
guts to do so before. Now he’s ready. Rick and Bill get excited
about Rick’s new venture and exchange email addresses.
What happened? Sam’s very strong
desire for a new business put him within vibrational reach of Bill,
but Sam’s decision that it’s hopeless sabotages the opportunity. The
woman who bumped Sam is a software engineer who is also looking for
a new opportunity, and might have made a good employee or partner in
Sam’s business. That’s how the law of ‘like attracts like’ works.
Through a series of seeming ‘coincidences,’ based upon the content
of your conscious vibrational signal, you meet up with people with
matching, or similar, desires to yours. It’s your free will decision
to take advantage or not, but one thing is for sure: Rick is going
to have a lot easier time of it than Sam creating his new company.
The thing is, you never have a clue
about how this works unless you are vibrationally ready for it! A
guy like Sam would say that it’s total nonsense. And for him, it IS
nonsense! He is always vibrationally out of range of those who can
help him, even when they are sitting across from him.
Rick and Sam illustrate an important
point about the Law of ‘like attracts like’: you can only perceive
within a limited range, so you can only come together with those who
are in your range. If Sam continues to focus more on his crummy job
than on the new business he wants to create, he will no longer even
meet up with people like Bill, for they will be completely outside
of his vibrational bandwidth His friendship with Rick will also
suffer, for Rick will want to hang out with someone whose outlook is
more congruent with his.Sam will probably find himself associating
more and more with people just like himself: disgruntled and
dissatisfied workers who have given up on their dreams.
The Law of Attraction is your
obedient servant, but it always matches you up with your true
vibration. Despite the apparent unfairness and injustice in the
world, the Law of Attraction is scrupulously fair, and does not
discriminate against anyone.
Sam would probably disagree! Even
though Sam wants to change, he is unwilling to do the necessary
inner work to alter his state of being. And this is quite
understandable, for Sam, during the course of his life, has gotten
into a habitual pattern of self-limiting thought. Sam knows that
it’s very hard to change, for he has observed his father over the
years struggle with his business and his family relationships. Sam
just knows, deep down inside that change is difficult.
Sam’s belief sets up a vibrational
pattern of thought, attitude, and emotion that is vibrationally
matched by the LOA and is reflected in the people he meets and the
situations he finds himself in.
Rick, on the other hand, makes his
decision for positive change and keeps his focus on the goal. Rick
gets up joyfully every morning with his new business in mind, and
he’s constantly coming up with new ideas. His new attitude makes him
a better employee at his present job as well, and he receives a
raise. For Rick, life is grand!
The good news for Sam is that when he
truly decides to change positively, his life will begin to mirror
those changes. But Sam has to get some new thoughts first! He
cannot spend 95% of his time in frustration and expect that Law of
Attraction to magically give him his new business. Like Rick, he has
to make his dreams the predominant focus of his conscious attention.
When he does that, Sam will, like Rick, begin to magically meet up
with the people and the resources he needs.
Your work is to align your thoughts
with your desires. When this happens, you will notice an inner
excitement, and a desire to get into action. Those actions will be
lined up with the goal, and will proceed along the path of least
resistance. Manifestation must inevitably
follow.
