Law Of Being It seems to me the Law Of Attraction might be better understood and utilized if it’s thought of it as the Law of Being. Why? Because it’s how we are BE-ing that determines what we are attracting into our lives. Are you being joyful? Then, you are attracting conditions and experiences to be joyful about. Are you being appreciative? Then you are attracting more to appreciate. Or are you worrying? Then you are attracting more to worry about. Are you being irritated, self-righteous or resentful? Then you are attracting more to be irritated, self-righteous and resentful about. Are you doubting yourself? Then you will attract outcomes that prove your doubts are valid. Or, are you being confident? Or are you finding reasons to be confident? If so, you will find it easier and easier to be confident. To utilize the Law of Attraction, notice how you are BE-ing. It is how you are BE-ing that you are attracting. And if you’re not sure how you are BE-ing, notice how you are FEELING. Because, how you are FEELING is an accurate measure of how you are BE-ing. And if you are not feeling (BE-ing) like you want to be, know that there are many healthy ways to improve how you are feeling. Here are a few: Cognitive (Rational Emotive)Therapy The Sedona Method EFT Play Prayer Journaling Meditation Physical Exercise Reading Inspirational Material Yoga Tai-Chi Chi-Gong Humor Talking with a trusted friend, coach, counselor, etc. Deliberate Constructive Thinking Make Affirmations Conscious Breathing Get out into nature Sing Relax Take a walk Be of service Finish a chore Do something fun Do something creative Listen to inspiring music Remind yourself: It’s good to feel good. Dwell on how good it would feel to have something you want. Accept the feeling. Ask yourself: What can I do or think right now to feel better? Give yourself permission to feel good. Bless yourself, others, and/or a condition or circumstance. Imagine God or the Universe sending you blessings. Imagine being peaceful, feeling loved and loving, happy. Imagine greater well being. Ask yourself: What does it feel like, to feel good? Feel your answers. Bottom Line: Improving how you FEEL improves how you are BE-ing, which will then constructively effect how conditions and experiences change in your life. “Things will constantly change to match the feeling you have inside."

Good one, thanks Phil! Question: what if you're simply happy, with no desires, no CMIs, no goals? In my view, you need both for SOGR ...  Sandu-CanDo! Looking for online business associates | |||

I read this and thought 'he's right!' and then I thought 'hey, wouldn't it depend on what you were happy about?' and wouldn't that focus bring more of the same? So if someone were happy, then whatever their focus was on at anyone time, then the energies would begin weaving that 'thing' into that person's life more and more. So that person would get happier and happier because more of the same would be in their vibrational field as it got stronger and stronger... and on it would go Seems good to me  Paix, Carolyn x | |||

How about just accepting that where you are and what you are feeling is perfect - whether you are happy or sad, rich or poor, just BE with whatever it is you are.. that is: don't fight it, drop those paddles and let the stream carry you... whatever emotion you are feeling, just feel it - be with it - and let it flow... I was stunned at how much better I felt when I decided that where I am at is okay!

I have found this to be a very important part of learning mastery over the emotions-that is, accepting unconditionally where you are at allows you the freedom to emotionally go where you want. Phil, thanks for another wonderful post. Being in touch with exactly where you're at is a wonderful way of knowing what it is that you are attracting. Feelings are my Friends-YES!!!

Nice post Phil, it encapsulates what I think is the essence of SOGR. We have to be happy, joyful, or whatever feelings we want first, before we get what we want in physical form. There are people who unknowingly go round thinking if only I had this, then I would be happy. It really is the other way round. Be happy, abundant,and everything you want to be NOW, then all the riches you want will flow towards you  Blessings Blessings Kevin "I think of life itself now as a wonderful play that I've written for myself... and so my purpose is to have the utmost fun playing my part."

this post shows the reasons I choose my name... I realize the NOW is all there is, tomorrow is not NOW and never will be the past is never NOW although when we relive the past in the NOW we are not in the NOW. Just BE IN NOW and the rest falls into place. You don't get what you want! You get what you ARE! | |||

I think, if it works for you it has to be valid. I agree and believe in what you’re saying, but not wholeheartedly. I think Julia put it very well when she said to have a ‘friendly’ attitude towards our feelings. No added negativity or judgments about feeling angry or resentful, or self righteous, irritated, worried, etc. More of being like a friend to them, willing to hear or feel them out, so to speak. But, it seems, even this tact depends on what kind of friend I am. I’ll try to explain. Should I be the kind of ‘friend’ that stands by and lets my buddy drive a car when he’s wasted drunk? Or should I be the kind who takes the keys away from him? In the past I used to get very angry on a regular basis. Sometimes I would get out of control and break things. Sometimes I would break things and not even mean to. I really got into my anger, and the same with worrying and feeling irritated, resentful, etc. But that didn’t work for me. What seems to work for me is, when I get feelings I don’t like, I allow myself to feel them, but what works for me is to NOT give them carte blanche free reign. The image I have is, I kind of treat them like children throwing a tantrum or getting into a funk. I let them have some freedom of expression but I don’t let them take it to where they lash out or start breaking things or physically hurt their selves. Possibly the best thing I’ve done, in terms of dealing with painful feelings, is come to have a much better UNDERSTANDING of them. At first I learned that a bad feeling was NOT necessarily an accurate assessment of reality or what was happening. Now days, it seems to me, a bad feeling is NEVER an accurate response to reality. Now days, it seems to me, the only accurate response to whatever is, is a good feeling. Now days, what makes sense to me is, bad feelings are highly misleading. And the thoughts that support good feelings are practically ALWAYS more accurate, or attuned to the good that is possible or waiting in potential. I wonder if I've cleared anything up, or just muddled things? Phil "The Universe is responding to how we feel." Esther Hicks | |||

Hey ME I got to love the way you put it!
I kind of imagine myself in the eye of a tornado if I am feeling out of whack with the natural abundance of the uiniverse. and guess what's at the centre of a tornado, total stillness. It's the same way when an athlete faces the ultimate challenge, to rise up to his greatest self under the sternest of tournament pressures...and the prize is mastery over one's self. Great thread!

What a great thread Phil. Thanks for the topic and sharing your thoughts.
I believe you have cleared some things up. If I might venture an opinion, here is how I see it. I am not trying to put words in anyone’s mouth. This is just my opinion.
When I read this quote (above) from Alison’s post I think “she’s got it”. My thoughts go to “don’t beat yourself up over anything”. The phrase that comes to mind is “go with the flow”. This was a crucial step in my development while studying SOGR. Then I think, “Suppose I am feeling bad about something”. I don’t beat myself up over the thought. However I do choose to change my thoughts and shift my thinking onto some aspect of what is going on that I do feel good about. If necessary I shift my thoughts onto something entirely different. I am able to do this because of practice at seeing truth in every situation as opposed the appearance of something else. What I am seeing is that acknowledgement / recognition / acceptance are one crucial step. This (I think) is what Alison is referring to (please correct me if I have misunderstood). Step 2 is where the joy comes in for me. This is where I am so in tune with my feelings that I am able to see the good in every situation regardless as to how it might look at first glance. It allows the thought shift to be almost instantaneous. So while I have accepted the feeling, if it is one I prefer to move past, I choose not to nurture it or allow it to linger. The added benefit here is that as my thoughts and feelings continue to be mainly joyful / happy, the Law of Attraction is sending me more of the same. An example might be in paying your bills. You can sit and lament that you have no income, etc. You can be accepting of those feelings and be happy that you are not getting down on yourself. This is an important step. However, instead of letting it end there, you can look at all the fun / important things you received in relation to having these payments to make (home, auto, travel, food, clothes, etc.). When I get into this type of joy I know I am attracting good things into my life and putting the Law of Attraction to work for me.

I'm happy that my earlier post in this thread resonates with some of the readers/posters. Phil, I can understand where you are coming from with this. I've also been known for my anger/passion and years ago broke things in rage (Haven't done that in YEARS - like over 20 years now! Thank God!) The thing is, we have to feel our anger and express it or it turns inward and creates depression. How we express our anger is key...and I guess that's what you mean by mastering our emotions? Rather than suppressing them? "Listen to your inside, it's all inside, all you need to know is written inside, all the answers, all the questions..." from the song 'Listen' by Alison Boston | |||

Phil, I had to read your post two times to start letting it all sink in, and I still feel like I need to read it over and over again to where it will sink in and stick. It's like quagmire or quicksand, we can either struggle and be pulled under or we can float on the top and crawl out to safety. Or in ME's words, with a different view on it, don't fight it, drop those paddles and let the stream carry you... whatever emotion you are feeling, just feel it - be with it - and let it flow... I was stunned at how much better I felt when I decided that where I am at is okay! Now I know that my analogy may seem strange to some of you, but when you understand what I'm saying, this will all make sense to you. Julia I love how you put it in a nutshell when you said, I have found this to be a very important part of learning mastery over the emotions-that is, accepting unconditionally where you are at allows you the freedom to emotionally go where you want. Like Dave said about lamenting over paying my bills, but not having any income to do so. I can either lament about it or I can accept this is the situation. However, according to how I think of it, of how it's not going to stay the same if I allow myself to not allow the feelings to pull me under. In other words, just accepting who I am and where I am right now, at this very moment, and not trying to be anything I'm not. Yet, by changing my thinking, simultaneously, I can get out of anything that doesn't feel comfortable to me and start realizing another reality, the true reality, which is, I can be anyone, in any place, in my life, I want to be.

My take on 'mastering' is the awareness of all that is. Before becoming aware we would tend to close our eyes and shut out everything that make us uncomfortable. Being aware is the allowing of all that is, no more 'comfort zone' hindering our growth and awakefulness. You don't get what you want! You get what you ARE! | |||

I've been mulling over Phil's post and the other posts and here's what I'm concluding (which doesn't make it right, of course. )But I'm wondering if we aren't talking about two different types of negative or bad feelings. One type of bad feeling is caused by maybe just getting out of the wrong side of bed or a co-worker saying something hurtful. Course, those types of incidents would easily be put aside by blessing by some of us or any of Phils suggestions. However, some negative thoughts are the resistent type that keep popping up from our subconscious. In those cases I like Kate Nowak's suggestion which is in her Day 2 email for the Blessing Challenge. She says: Excerpt: ---------------------------- "Our problem, however, is that more often than not, we label something as bad, or unpleasant or unwanted and then push it as far away from us as we can, refusing to even think about it. Especially those of us who have followed the teachings of the positive thought movement. We try constantly to remove ourselves completely from every negative. In so doing, however, we literally shut ourselves off from the information the negativity has come to reveal. In the end this doesn't help us at all. By ignoring the negative, we don't even get rid of it, because it will keep returning again and again, through repeated experiences, until we are finally willing to look past the mask of negativity to discover its purpose for being in our lives. When we realize, however, that anything included in our awareness -- the good, the bad and the ugly -- is present because it has information to depart, then the information can come forth and the so-called negative or bad experience, it's purpose fulfilled, can easily dissolve away. Labeling everything good helps us do that. We are not refusing to acknowledge it. We are simply allowing ourselves to accept that perhaps there is more too it than we, at first, are able to see." --------------------------- Just food for thought. May you all be blessed with all things good, SharonSS | |||

I read this quote and the first message I receive is that I have a problem. Kate says: "Our problem..." Hmmm....the way I see it, is to let the energy flow, we don't even identify or label it as a problem. Rather we say: That's the way we HABITUALLY 'think' or 'perceive'. So how about starting off by saying: "Our habit.." then it is a habit to change rather than a problem to solve, and by changing the label we instantly have a solution, or an action to take. So how to change the habit? Accept yourself and your current situation as perfect, it's perfection may simply be that it forces you to address things that you might otherwise neglect.

Taiy Taiy, Penwright! Thanks for the vote of confidence! I wish I was as brilliant at practicing it as I am at writing about it! There's got to be a way to get my mind to do as I say! Anybody else have contradictory behaviors?
