Bitterness to Happiness:
Finding Your Spiritual Partner

In
this article, we investigate what it takes to develop a spiritual/conscious
partnership through the "law of attraction."
I
recently overheard a conversation between two men at the gym. They
sounded angry and bitter and jaded. These men complained that all
women are looking for is men with money. They talked about how they
were sized up by their car and joked about how funny it would be
to show up for dates with a rented Jag or Mercedes, and trick the
women into believing that they had money. They supported each other's
belief that what was keeping women from them was the size of their
paycheck. So many thoughts ran through my mind. However, the main
thought was, why do you think you are always attracting women who
want only money?
That
got me thinking more about the "law of attraction." The law of attraction
is very basic: you are responsible for your own reality. What is
in your life is there because you attracted it to you. Like attracts
like. What you think about, what you talk about, what you fixate
on, becomes your reality.
So
the question is, what do you want to manifest in your life? Many
of you may be familiar with the "I AM". I AM stands for you being
100% one with God. If you are that intertwined with God, doesn't
it make sense that you also have the same power to manifest? If
you are not enjoying the reality you have created, choose a new
reality. It is not enough to just "want" something else, such as
a woman whose primary value is not money. It is about looking deeply
at your own internal thoughts. Your thoughts vibrate and send out
energy. They then become your belief system and your beliefs materialize
in your world.
The
law of attraction also holds that if you think about what you don't
want, that is what you will get. For example, if I constantly think,
"I don't want to be fat", guess what, I'm attracting fat because
that is precisely what I'm concentrating on. The men in the example
above keep attracting women who only want men with money because
they think that's all that is out there and that has become their
"belief" system.
Here's
an exercise for you: Close your eyes, breathe deeply a few times
and ask, what have you always attracted into your life? Notice your
belief systems around what you have attracted. Write down these
attractions in the areas of relationship, money, and body. Is what
you have attracted what you want to continue to attract? If not,
then start with writing down what you want to attract. Focus on
it, visualize it. Feel what it would feel like to have that in your
life right now. (Make sure you are not feeling a "wanting" or "lack"
of what you wish.) Make this part of your daily routine.
Have
you been hurt in the past? Did you erect large walls around you
to protect yourself from future hurts? I want to mention something
about walls. How do you expect to become involved with a spiritual/conscious
partner if you are not willing to be vulnerable and show your partner
who you are? When your walls keep you separate from others, for
protection, you reinforce those walls. Then you can say, "Well,
I knew he/she wasn't the one for me". If you are hiding behind a
wall, how would you expect to attract a spiritual partner? Why would
a spiritual partner be attracted to walls?
What
would it take for you to let down your walls?
Here
is a hint... it is NOT about the other person you become involved
with, it is about YOU. It is having enough trust in yourself that
you can handle hurt, rejection, and abandonment. If you believe
we are all "one", then truly, who or what is the wall protecting
you from? Are you the one on the inside or the outside? What if
you are both?
Let's
go back to "I AM". Another way to look at this is: I stands for
"intention", A stands for "Attention or Action", and M stands for
"manifestation". So if you want to manifest something in your life,
set the intention, pay attention to it with certain actions, and
yes, it will manifest. See it, feel it, believe it.
Note:
If a piece of you believes this and a piece of you believes the
opposite, your vibration is not aligned and you will not create
or manifest your desire. Clarity of thoughts and beliefs will go
a long way. Allow your walls to come down, build beautiful fountains
of desire and belief around you, and see what comes your way.
