The ‘Law of Non-Resistance’ is the first in the series of ‘The 11 Forgotten Laws’ that should expand our understanding of the Law of Attraction. “Whatever you resist, persists”. When you resist something, you actively give it energy. We have talked before about how the Universe deals with absolutes – in other words, there is no distinction between ‘I want’ and ‘I do not want’. You always get the thing in question. That is why the Universe can’t tell the difference between you actively trying to attract something versus you trying to resist something. In either case it’s coming your way.
Does that mean you cannot have undesirable things around you? Not at all. We live in a complex world that we share with other people. As long as you are dealing with other people, you’ll come across desirable and undesirable people, events, and circumstances. The lesson here is not to try to push away the undesirable. Just let go and let it be. Give your energy to what you want.
Until next time,

I have heard people claim that the Law of Attraction does not work for them. It’s a really bizarre statement, since how can a law work for some and not for others. If it is a law, then it must by definition work each and every time, for every person, in every situation. What could be happening is that it works differently to how people expect it to work.
The basic premise is that you attract into your life whatever you are aligned with in terms of your thoughts (conscious and non-conscious) and feelings. You are always attracting things into your life, but you may be attracting things that you don’t necessarily want. That being said, there are other laws in the Universe that have not been popularized to the same extent as the Law of Attraction through the movie The Secret.
I came across some material online by Bob Proctor where he talks about the ‘11 Forgotten Laws’ that relate to the Law of Attraction. The way Bob Proctor put it was that the Law of Attraction is a single ingredient in a cake, but you need other ingredients to make it. Over the next little while I’ll cover the different laws, which will hopefully give you some useful information.
Until next time,

Today I have a success/achievement tip for you – benefits of which I you’ll be able to experience for yourself the first time you apply it. How’s that for quick results? Anyway, here we go…
If you have something that you want to do but never get to it, do it first thing in the morning before you do anything else. Anthony Robbins called this ‘the hour of power’ where you take the first hour after you wake up and use it as ‘your time’ for that important activity that you never get to. It can be reading, writing, playing a musical instrument, or going for a run. The activity does not matter – what matters is that you get it done.
This surely requires some discipline, especially if you have to be at work at a certain time and need to wake up an hour earlier to create that time cushion. And it is a lot easier to sleep that extra hour when you know you can too – I would know 
. But all that is still easier than finding time for your activity later in the day. Something always seems to creep up and get in the way. That is why you do your task first thing in the morning before anything has a chance to get in the way. Give it a try and see for yourself….
Until next time,

There is this really neat video on youtube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Q_GQqUg6Ts
that explains the 11 dimensions. It took me quite a few viewings to somewhat understand what the heck they are talking about, but to this day I don’t quite get it. In either case the video is quite interesting!
For those of you wondering why I am talking about the 11 dimensions while the video title is about understanding the 10th dimension, it’s because dimensions start at 0, being a point. So 11 dimensions go from 0 to 10.
Enjoy the brain cramp!
Until next time,

What a difference it makes when you are excited and motivated by what you do. It is a rather obvious statement in and of itself, but the implications are pretty serious. I don’t know about you, but I’ve been on both ends of the ‘excitement’ spectrum. There were times when the things I was doing felt like a total grind and there were other times when I couldn’t wait to get working on something. The difference in the quality of experience, and in how I perceived life at those different times, is tremendous.
It would be amazing if every day work was that challenging, that exciting, and that motivating. If you have achieved that state, that is incredible. Chances are that regardless of what you do, there will be days that feel like a drag. However, iif most of the days are the opposite, then you have probably achieved something that most people only dream of.
I do believe that every person has had the two types of days, even if the days of great excitement were not due to work (though if it was work-related, that should be easier to explore and analyse). Looking into what factors made the day so great should provide you with some valuable insight into what you may want more out of your work. Then, hopefully, as you integrate more of those factors into your daily job requirements, you’ll have more of the times when your vocation becomes your vacation.
Until Monday,

If you have been following the World Cup, you may have heard about Paul the Octopus living in the Oberhausen Sea Life centre in Germany, who predicts the outcomes of the German soccer matches. To get a match prediction, two mini tanks are set up with the octopus treats inside, marked with the flags of Germany and their respective opponent. When Paul the Octopus goes for the treats, the country represented on the mini tank is the predicted winner. So far he is been able to predict the outcomes of all five German matches in this World Cup. In the Euro 2008, Paul the Octopus was 80% accurate. So what is going on here?
As per usual, there are two possible explanations. First is that Paul the Octopus can actually predict the outcomes of soccer matches. If everything in the Universe is Energy, and everything is connected, and the concept of time is actually an illusion, then quite possibly Paul the Octopus may have ‘a gift’. On the other side there are skeptics who explain that statistically predicting outcomes of games with such accuracy it is not that improbable – and there is no need to involve anything ‘supernatural’. Picking 5 out 5 correct matches by chance is 3%. So if there were 100 animals picking outcomes of games, 3 of them would get all 5 right. The challenge is, we don’t hear about all the times that the match outcome was not consistent with the foresight.
Whatever the case may be, there is another prediction and another test for it later today. Paul the Octopus picked Spain to defeat Germany. I am cheering for Germany, so I hope that the damn octopus is wrong. If he is right however, I’ll be inviting people over for a Polpi in Umido.
Until next time,

Yesterday I wrote about how making significant changes in life, especially changes in beliefs, is something that takes time, effort, and energy. In other words, it requires a great deal of focus. Focus is also essential in many other areas of your life where you want to get worthy results, and unfortunately, we have so many things fighting for our attention, that maintaining focus is becoming more and more challenging – we need to focus on being focused.
Focus allows you to concentrate your energy on the task at hand. When you are focused on the task, as opposed to having your mind occupied by other things, you complete it better, faster, and more accurately. The challenge is that we have many things that keep distracting us on the ongoing basis.
One of the worst offenders is email. Most people check their email every few minutes and email clients commonly make some sort of sound to notify you of a new message. That constantly distracts you from what you are doing and eats up a lot of your time during the day. Smart phones are not much better. Now you have phone calls, emails, text messages, and facebook and twitter updates that come to a single device that rings, blinks, and vibrates to notify you of life calling. I noticed that my smart phone was commanding my attention so frequently, that I turned off all notifications except for phone calls. I feel that it saves me at least an hour every day.
Take a look at how you spend your day and pay special attention to the different things that constantly grab your attention without a good reason. Work to minimize those distractions in order to create longer spans of time during which you can give your undivided attention to the important things. Then enjoy the benefits…
Until Monday,

As a final project in the Science of Mind class that I have been taking, we were supposed to present our vision for a better world. Yesterday’s post gave me an alternative vision for a better world than the one I actually presented. To tell you the truth, there are a lot of things that can make for a better world, so this is only one of them. What is it? People taking personal responsibility for their lives.
Think about it…how different would the world look if every single person took responsibility for their lives, for their actions, and for their behaviours? Now we are playing that ‘what if’ game, but I think that if that was the case, people would not be complacent and would actually take action to change things they do not like – politicians, economics, relationships, etc. People would stop blaming others, which will result in more love and peace. People would live more happy and fulfilled lives as they would not remain stuck for long in any particular place that they do not like. People would pursue what they want in harmonious ways.
That would truly transform the world, don’t you think?
Until next time,

I talked a few times about this important step in the manifestation process, which is creating a picture, or an image, of what your end-goal looks and feels like. Once you have that picture, you can play with it, contemplate on it, add things, take away things, etc. The ‘Ideal Life’ visualization that I described in the past is also based on this very picture. There is one small, important details that turns out some people miss – putting themselves in the picture.
Kenn Gordon told a story as a joke on this very topic in order to illustrate the point. The story goes something like this. This guy – we’ll call him Mike – watched ‘The Secret’ and was fascinated by the Law of Attraction, so he decided to attract a brand-spanking-new red Maserati into his life. So he goes down to his garage and cleans it all up to create a space for this new red Maserati. He puts up a large Maserati poster on the front wall and paints the side wall red. He pictures that red Maserati in his garage twice a day – once in the morning and once before going to bed. After about a month of this, his income is not increasing and the red Maserati seems as far away as it was when he started. That weekend, as Mike is mowing his lawn, his neighbour – we’ll call him Jim – walk up to chit-chat for a few minutes. Seeing the open garage with a clean, neat space, he asks Mike, “Hey, I just got a brand new red Maserati, but I don’t have an extra stall in my garage to put it. Do you mind if I rent that open space from you?” *laughter*
Mike did all the things right, and ended up attracting the red Maserati to his garage…but he forgot to put himself in the picture. Try not to make the same mistake…
Until next time,

It’s nice to feel nice. Actually, what I am trying to say is that it is very useful to feel the way you want to feel – and this is not just a play on words. We talked many times about the importance of feeling in a way that is conducive to creating the experiences you want to have more of. So if you want to bring about more happiness you need to feel happy, to experience more abundance you need to feel more abundant, to experience more love you need to feel loved, etc, etc. So pay attention to the things you do and the little cues in your environment that make you feel a certain way that would be useful to you. Let me give you some examples.
If you find that you feel really connected and appreciated when you hang out with a certain person, make an effort to hang out with them more often (this is of course assuming that you want to experience feelings of connectedness and appreciation more often). If you find that buying lunch for a friend makes you feel abundant, start inviting more people to lunch. If you discover that driving a clean vehicle makes you feel on top of you game, go wash your car more often. If you…you get the idea.
Have fun with this!
Until Monday,
V
