RE: Law of Attraction and Focusing on News/Conspiracy Theories
Thanks for your article. I am a very spiritual person and I have studied the law of attraction and conspiracy theories, society and culture, a course in miracles, etc. I believe in freedom and health for all. I believe in justice for the Indigenous Nations.
Through my studies, on such things as "The Law of Attraction." i have come to believe that although there are many good belief systems contained in these teachings, it is harmful to live by these principles, simply because if we ignore what is going on around us and don't take action, then the corruption will continue and we will never experience freedom.
It seems to me that this is what our masters would want us to believe, that we are each responsible for our own circumstances and it is dependent on our thoughts and emotions. This keeps us blaming one another for our status in this society instead of looking at the systemic racism that is embedded within this society.
I believe we need to take action against the corruption and aim to create a better world for us all.
We simply withdraw from this system and don't offer it our support anymore. We don't buy their systems, enroll in their schools, use their currency.
To me the law of attraction was not very helpful and it feels like living with your head in the sand and saying to yourself that everything is great and wonderful, when there are many suffering around us and the system is set-up in such a way, to keep us enslaved.
An orca or dolphin cannot live successfully on land because they are not provided with what they need to survive, just like a enlightened person cannot live successfully within this capitalist society because we are not provided with what we require to be free here.
Thanks for your comment.
This is not what Law of Attraction is. Law of Attraction teachings teach us to take inspired action that comes from alignment with our Source.
I wish because this is what self empowerment is. Believing that others are in control of us is victim mentality which is the worst poison anyone can take.
These are common misconceptions and assumptions people have about Law of Attraction teachings who haven't studied in any depth.
I appreciate your response.
I was wondering how one is able to take inspired action if they ignore what is going on in the world in terms of corruption and injustices?
If you do not believe that others are not in control of us, then i'm not sure where you are living, but it cannot be in the west. Our lives, values, belief systems are dictated by outside forces. Our concepts and ideas are passed down from one generation to the next. Norms are established by social conditioning and rules and enforced and we are taught to obey and not ask questions.
Unfortunately today, we live in an increasingly toxic environment and our society is structured in such a way that creates inequality and is discriminatory and racist, in many aspects of the way it functions.
These are such things occupying stolen land of the Indigenous Nations, and then designating certain segments of the land to the Indigenous and the rest to the occupiers, who claim it as their own and then allow for the destruction of our homeland and the extraction of the resources.
Simply saying that one is playing the victim mentality ignores the genocidal actions of the past, and as the great thinkers have stated, if we fail to understand the true reality of the past and what caused these horrific actions, then there is a great danger that these events will repeat themselves again in the future.
I believe the worst poison we can take is accepting the values, beliefs and customs of the dominant culture of capitalism.
I believe that the Law of Attraction teaches to ignore reality and pretend that negative things are not taking place in the outside world. It seems to me it's like if someone were to be assaulted in the same room as you were in and instead of acknowledging this is taking place, you choose to close your eyes, and focus on more pleasant things.
This might be a better scenario for you, but it does little to help the other person in need.
That is how I see law of attraction, I see it as an arm of our masters. It's hard to accept anything that mainstream is selling and I prefer to follow the teachings of the Indigenous Nations, who have been here since time immemorial.
You can either fight them on their level of fear and primal savagery, perpetuating their story, or you can step into a higher paradigm with the Gandhis and the Martin Luther Kings creating a new story that's not in REACTION to theirs. Law of Attraction teachings are about being proactive, not responding to low fear. LOA is always in action regardless of what you believe. So you can choose to create out of reaction to others creating more violence, fear, negativity and illness, or stepping into a higher paradigm and proactively creating. Since this is a planet of free will, you get to choose.
as @freebornangel says
"No man is more perfectly enslaved than the man that thinks himself falsely free."
His information is on point, it's worth checking out, I believe.
