The Law of Attraction - Why it Doesn't Always Work

Law of Attraction Not Working – How Come I’m Not Getting My Stuff?

In a previous post about thought vibrations and the law of attraction, we explored the power of intention.

The concept of the law of attraction says like attracts like, so if you are in a particular mindset then this universal esoteric law should provide more of the experiences of that mindset.  This concept is backed up by the concept of the “collapse of the wave function” in modern physics.

In my view of the world, there are many potential outcomes for any given situation, but only one will collapse into a particular outcome.

So yes, there will certainly be some attempts at affecting your experience which simply won’t manifest.  It’s not all about you or me.  We are not omnipotent…

It’s about how our intentions and creative energies harmonize with the Cosmic Soup.  Lao-Tzu called it “The Tao” – the way of things.

If our desires are completely in tune with the larger unfolding of reality, then we can achieve anything.  However, if our desires are selfish or abusive, they will tend to rebound on us, creating a state of stagnation, and can actually poison the whole process.

As mentioned, I don’t like to focus on creating physical things.  I believe the mechanics are basically the same for manifesting material ‘stuff’, but there is a higher goal in life.

When you choose to focus on creating positive feelings and outcomes in yourself, your family and your workplace, you are choosing to bring a better experience not only to yourself, but also to others.

“Stuff” is an unavoidable part of life.

But you will waste vital energy trying to create stuff – energy more effectively invested in creating a better personal experience.

Everything material eventually degrades through entropy as we have already explored.

Things slowly lose their luster.  What we desire today is not what we will desire tomorrow.  Focus on achieving the experience of life you desire and the physical accoutrements will come to you as required.

But your intention is the key!

The universe itself is “the manager” that allows or denies these multiple realities to exist simultaneously.  The Tao has no opposite, it just is.  Collisions will occur, but we are not the cosmic traffic cop in charge of the process.

While there is empirical evidence that intention does have an effect on outcomes of physical actions like the rolling of dice, your efforts at creation would be better served if your focus is on personal development versus trying to manifest a specific physical result (in my humble opinion).

When I use the phrase “affecting reality”, I’m referring to a very holistic, or top down approach, whereby your attempts at using focused intention revolve around creating a generally positive attitude toward your total life experience.

When you get caught up in trying to manifest a car or a boyfriend, you can lose sight of the bigger picture.  If you do achieve your limited goal, greed can then arise, demanding to be fed bigger and better “stuff”.

If your goals fail to manifest, then self-denial and an attitude of limitation can begin to reflect in your experience.

Before you know it, you are once again feeling out of control.

So what can you do?  Find out next post…
