On the “law of attraction”


“Asked and you shall received”
How often did I hear that!

Then I came upon books that talked about the law of attraction and how to manifest our most cherish desires. I pondered about it and came to my conclusions. Being closer to the Buddhist and Zen traditions in my own understanding of life, I understood one important thing: blessings shower on us when we understand that we are already complete and that we need nothing! Manifestations also occur we were become a “clearing”…an open space.

As long as we ask with having the feeling of lack in the back of our minds...then we may miss the whole thing. But most people just can't see the blessings that are already in their lives and they always "want" more.

Sometimes to make place for better things to manifest in our lives, situations that may seem difficult to handle do happen: a divorce, the loss of a job etc...
I have been there so I know; I think I was clear and open about important matters in my experience and I brought to myself wonderful new friends and a better mate for myself.

Now, I am at a point in my life and personal evolution where I can see and experience true and deep love on many different levels, with my children, with my boyfriend and with my friends as well as family members.
We, as humans, often place many labels on everything and love is not excluded from this. We have an idea of what love should be or should not be. But what if we opened our hearts a little more?

I have experienced the meaning and joy of unconditional love with my children at first then I realized that it was possible to experience this quality of love with others as well. I was told by a sage man that true love is accepting the other as he/she is or not. He told me that true love requires nothing as well. It then became clear to me that I had to drop the idea that my lover was mine. We are not possessions. We are gifts to one another. I also dropped the idea that I had to be number one at all costs. We can't order love...we just can't have someone love us because they have to! We are their wife/husband, aren't we?? No, it does not work this way. Love is not something that is learned as well.

Love showers on us like rain does. It comes unexpected and we are possessed by it and it gives wings to fly. Yet, we are at choice as how we are going to express that love to one another.

I feel privileged because I was able to experience this first hand, with someone. The connection we have requires nothing. It is the purest and deepest bond and it does not cast a shadow on my present relationship. Because it is in the open...because honesty is one of the values I cherish the most.

I used to think that when you loved someone deeply... the intimate and love making aspect had to be present and expressed.
Love making is indeed a beautiful gift of love. But what if the ultimate gift of love is to love so deep and true that all that matters is the other's happiness, whether it is expressed and lived with us or not? It is my present understanding and probably the deepest one. Love is not selfish.

I have two wonderful beings in my life...one shares my daily life and my intimacy, we are having real fun together, we grow together and we are having projects going on for our future. Of course, we have arguments at times but we communicate even when it is quite difficult to do so. I have realized this week, that since I have been honest about every aspect of me with him...he shares a lot more and I think he must feel that he can be honest and open with me at all times as well. Both being divorced, we now know that nothing is granted and we take it day by day...enjoying one another and loving one another.

The other being...is a soul that I have always known. No physically is needed...we just know that we have and will always be there for one another. This bond is beyond time and what we refer to as space. I know this sounds strange but this is how it is.

Then, I have found that the love I had for my ex-husband has been transformed and we have become like brother and sister. I knew that he would always have a place in my heart. Because for some reasons I seem unable to hate someone I loved. And he is the father of our three children.

My writing projects are underway. The most beautiful and fun experiences are happening...I even was on a TV show and enjoyed the experience very much.
I am not longer a spectator in my life. I take action and I am open to what I bring into my experience.

It is soooo great to hear/read "the most beautiful and fun experiences are happening..." yay of yays! hey danebe, you are a gem and now you are just experiencing yourself!

Let me back up, to the topic heading. Attraction. Like magnetism - often the key is BE WHAT YOU WISH, it'll simply resonate, gravitate, harmonize and compliment you - itself - naturally. Law of attraction... you stated this very well. I learned much of these types of waaaaay valuable lessons from the old Chopra boards, in learning "how to pray." I would put a prayer - correction - I would put an intention, worded as a want, a desire, an idea. One of the angels there would sometimes rewrite it as a prayer! I learned to say just about anything, as a loving prayer! Really! In addition:

I learned that the best way to state the intention is as if you already have it, and many will say that the desire is the biggest part of manifesting something! So, for example: "Thank you god and angels for the good health I have, great friends, creative gifts and experiences I wish to share. Thank you for the musical and other ideas I have come up with that I wish to share. Thank you for allowing me to put together the greatest method of sharing them with the world, in the best ways for all." And so be it.

I think you are manifesting your highest self, your greatest goals, dear Sylvie, and it is wonderful because instead of "trying," fighting to, pushing your way into, beating down obstacles, you seem to have found the correct path for yourself, and you seem to be sending out positive vibes in all directions, friendship with your ex on a deep level, coming to some of the silent witnessing experiences of what BEING LOVE really is... wowee!!

I'm sooooo glad you are sharing you wonderful experiences with us here, and I send you every possible good vibe and posite energy I can so that you continue to manifest your magical, angelic, heavenly SELF!

Yay to you! 3 cheers to Kiliwia Danebe Genie Sylvie! Yay! Yay! Yay! YOU GO GIRL!!! he he..
