On the "law of attraction"

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.


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.
