Should I Change The Cause Or The Effect?
Mark S. Kearns, MA, N.H.D.
One of the callers on last night's law of attraction call asked for clarification on a comment that I made during the talk. I made the comment that some people don't realize the result they desire because they are more concern with changing effects rather than the causes.
I think the condition of the present economy offers some of the best examples of this. The moment people hear in the news that the cost of everything going up and up, the first thing they want to do is cut back on their spending. In their mind they want to keep as much of what little they think they have as possible.
At the moment, they don't realize that their idea of lack becomes the focal point for all of their energy. Now please don't misunderstand me. Prudence is important and it certainly makes good sense to reevaluate your budget when faced with financial challenge. However, this too often just becomes the way that people live, through a sense of lack. They begin to accept this as just the way things are.
There is an old saying that goes, "Where your thoughts go, your energy flows." And, with this thought direction you energy is going toward the environment of even greater lack. That is now the focus of attention. Trying to live through financial lack will not increase income.
Limiting spending will not increase your income. The only way that you will increase your income is by making more money. And, you can't very well do that when you main concern is limiting what you do. The question that most individual ask when they come to this conclusion, is how. How can I make more money?
Not so! A good rule of thumb for us to follow is that the finite should not tell the infinite how to do its job. You cannot imagine how to increase your income, especially if you are employed at a fixed hourly wage or are on a fixed salary simply because you are not aware of how to do it.
A few simple steps will have you using the law of attraction as it was designed to be used. It is here to help you rise above your limitation and experience the true abundance the universe has to offer. Here is how you could begin this process. Imagine your life after you have already experienced financial gain. What has changed? What can you do now?
Use your imagination to create that picture, that image of you with the money you desire. It can't be a selfish motive; the universe will not assist you with selfish desires. It must benefit you and those around you, but for most people this is easy enough to do.
Ask yourself some questions that help you add to the clarity of this image. For instance, what could you do, where could you go, what opportunities could you take advantage of now that you are in a much better financial situation?
The law of attraction is activated when this thought image begins to stir your emotions. You recognize this by feelings you sense beginning to stir. Your thoughts are now addressed by the infinite source because the intensity of your emotions is a signal that this is something that is very important to you.
Actually at this point your focus is no longer on what was perceived as a problem. Your energy now flows in the direction of what you really want, toward your true desires, leaving in their wake your fears and doubts.
