My Theory and questions regarding the Law of Attraction

You've probably all heard about and seen the secret and seen many more people getting onto the band wagon of making money convincing people that the Law of Attraction will work for them. I know many people that this works for and I know many people that this doesn't work for. I don't believe it is just about putting a thought out there and being positive and believing it will come, I believe there is more to it than this. I question so much on our existence and why we are really here, my questions are a plenty :) And I don't believe we have all the answers or are even close to having the answers, we do what works for us as individuals.

If we all woke up everyday and had absolutely everything we had wished for, I don't think we would develop more deeply or evolve on a soul level. It is the bad experiences in life, the tough times that help us to grow, to make change, to see what we need to do better. I know from a personal level, that my soul longs to help others, I am a counsellor, empath, comforter, that is what feeds my soul and for me to be the best at what I do, I have to have had experienced what others are experiencing. To know how someone else is feeling is to have lived through it yourself.

About 30 years ago, I was told by a mentor, that our souls choose to come here to experience certain lessons. A soul may choose to only come as an embryo to just experience conception and then leave, it's all that soul needs, unfortunately the mother carrying the soul will suffer miscarriage and that will be her challenge. My soul and my choices will effect other souls' journeys. What if my soul decided in this lifetime to live in poverty, to always struggle financially so I could experience the emotions attached, so I could experience needing help from others, so I could understand that love is more powerful than money, so I could learn to be self sufficient and create myself? So if I were to put the law of attraction into practice and focus on having more money and putting that thought into the universe and yet it never came, i never had any more money, I only ever had just enough to keep me alive, is that the Universe not hearing me? Or my soul keeping me on the path I chose?

What if I chose in this lifetime, to be sick or disabled so my soul could experience what that feels like. You might ask, "why would I choose to be sick?", but what if the soul does choose to experience sickness? How would my existence effect those around me, my family members who would have to care for me? The difficulties in learning to rely on others, to not feel a burden on others, to accept help and care. How does someone who has a terminal disease use the Law of attraction to help them?

I have noticed with many, many people who have now written books and who speak on the topic of the law of attraction, have nearly all been bankrupt or depressed or had a time in their life where they had nothing and they were at the bottom of the hole and they managed to get themselves back onto their feet and prosper. This is what makes me think, have our souls lead us down that path to experience the bad so we can appreciate the good? Have we chosen to challenge ourselves to build our strengths and resilience and to fight or have we chosen to give up?

Whatever you are going through in your life right now, what are you learning from it? Take away all the ego's, negative thoughts, strip the problems right down to the core and what are you gaining from all this and why do you want to change it, or do you in fact really want to change at all? Maybe you are happy in your comfort zone on knowing what this feels like and it would be strange to feel something different. I believe we get to a point where we have learnt the lesson we wanted to learn and then we decide we want to change the way things are and that is where we turn to thoughts of wanting to attract something else into our life.

And it will only happen when we are ready and not before hand. I also believe timing is of the essence in manifesting anything into your life. There are third parties involved, things needs to move behind the scenes to fall into place and this can take years. We are forced to practice patience.

Maybe you get sick of waiting and change direction yourself with your own actions and then suddenly you are doing something different and you accept the Universe has given you a second chance, but was it the Universe or you making this happen? I do believe that our thoughts help create our reality. I have many questions which are my own point of view, ask yourself today, what do you believe you have created in your life and why?
