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,

Last night I took the opportunity to watch the meteor shower. It was a very cool experience, something that I will definitely do again next time. Being under the bright starry sky, watching rocks burn up as they travel through the Earth’s atmosphere just reminded me how tiny and insignificant humans are in the grand scheme of things. How arrogant it is to think that all that was ‘created’ for us to enjoy?! We are such a tiny spec of existence that the Universe wouldn’t even know if we were gone.
Trying to picture all that space, those astronomically huge distances, and how most of it is emptiness gives my brain a cramp. It’s not easy to imagine infinity. I can see how people develop fascination with the sky. It is so beautiful and so surreal that it is highly intoxicating. And today, most people will never experience this. People clump together in cities that are full of bright lights that make it impossible to see the sky at its full glory. And let’s be honest, how many of us leave our cities far enough to escape the lights of the civilization? Very few do it on the regular basis. Most hardly leave at all.
Until Monday,

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,

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,

Affirmations are great and they are the reason this website exists. The way they are phrased is very important, so let’s review some of the basics of affirmations.
Affirmations are supposed to be affirmative, positive statements, should have ‘the speaker’ included in them, and need to be stated in the present time. To expand a little bit on the basics, affirmations are supposed to talk of what you want instead of what you don’t want. So, if you are dealing with a health issue, the affirmation should mention something about “being in a healthy state and feeling great”, instead of “not feeling sick and tired anymore”. You sense the difference?
Whenever writing or saying an affirmation, make sure to feel included. I wrote a post a little while back where I shared a comical story of what could happen when you do not feel like part of whatever it is that you are affirming.
Finally, affirmations should be stated in the present tense. If you say “I will be healthy” you are sending your energy to the future. However, saying “I’m healthy” when you are not can feel awkward. So there is a little trick that I read somewhere for phrasing affirmations. Instead of saying “I am” start your affirmation with “I’m in the process of” – that puts the statement in the present and at the same time keeps it more true, since the end result can be ‘in development’. I personally really like that trick. Have fun with your affirmations!
Until Monday,

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,

This is one of those phrases that sounds nice and playful, yet contains a lot of power and wisdom. I’ve talked in the past about the vital role that expectations play in our lives, and this phrase, which I heard in a Bob Proctor program, puts it rather eloquently. The idea is pretty simple – your true expectations will create your experience. It’s not what you want, not what you wish for, but what you truly expect that becomes your experience. I don’t know about you, but I’ve had countless situations that reflect that very principle at work.
So, ‘never expect what you don’t desire’! Pretty simple, right? In theory yes…in application it can be more difficult. If it wasn’t we’d never get what we don’t desire. But seriously, if you don’t desire something, why in the world would you expect it? It’s a logical statement, but we are not very logical beings. The same holds for the other side of the equation – ‘never desire what you don’t expect’. If you desire what you don’t expect, you simply will not be able to bring that into your experience. If there is something that you desire, work on expecting it in your life.
Now I’ve got to go work on the lesson in this phrase myself…
Until next time,

In class last night we had a lengthy discussion on how emotions differ from feelings; people had ideas, but no one seemed to be able to effectively get their point across to the rest of the class where they agreed. Often people use these words interchangeably, but when you study this in a little more detail, there is a difference between the two. And the most peculiar thing is that the difference is not very well defined. I’ll give you my understanding of the difference between the two, but I’d really like it if you could add your thoughts through the comments.
My understanding is that feelings are physiological responses to stimuli, where a physiological response involves the chemistry of your body, and a stimuli can be a thought, a external event or occurrence, someone’s words or touch, etc. Feelings are physical and chemical changes in your physiology – you feel love, anger, frustration, stress, and joy as a very real sensations in your body. Emotions, on the other hand, are the labels that we put on those sensations (happiness, love, anger, etc). So the two are closely related – no doubt – but they are not the same. First you have a stimulus, which creates a physical change in your body (a feeling), which we label with a name of a certain emotion.
Feelings are ‘absolute’, while emotions are ‘relative’. What I mean by that is that a given feeling is always the same (a feeling, again, being a certain physiological state of your body), but that same feeling can get a variety of labels from different people (called a number of different emotions). When I push on my desk, the desk pushes back (that would be equivalent to the feeling), but I can use several phrases to describe that behaviour (call it a number of emotions), like “for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction” or the “Newton’s Third Law of Motion”. They are different words describing the same overall idea.
Who knows, I may be out to lunch with this… what do you think?
Until next time,

Pretty much every book that talks about the concept that we are responsible for what we create and attract into our own lives, says that it is the feelings that get the creative process rolling. Sure, everything begins with a thought, but though by itself will not create much – you need to be emotionally involved in the idea – that means that you need to have corresponding feelings about that idea. More importantly, those feelings need to be supportive of you experiencing and achieving whatever it is that you are after; if you feel like you are incapable or unworthy of the given goal, it’s counter productive and will keep you away from what you desire.
We talked about how vital our subconscious mind is to the creative process. So how do you know what you mind is doing? A great way to check that is to check your feeling. This idea came to a friend of mine who shared it with me, and I thought it was a very insightful observation. If at any point in time you want to get an idea of what you are brining into your experience, ask yourself how do you feel. Feelings are like a temperature gage for your consciousness, that is your conscious and subconscious minds put together. Do you feel happy, loved, joyful, and abundant? Or do you feel sick, lost, confused, and generally pitiful? That is what you are bringing more of into your life.
I think that “How do I feel?” is a great question to ask yourself throughout the day. It will likely provide you with some very interesting insights into what is going on in your mind.
Until next time,
