The Law of Attraction: Choosing From Feelings versus Fears

For years, I had been given a message through my life experiences, the people I attracted into my life, and my own intuition. The message seemed simple, and yet I resisted. The message is that to really understand how to operate in this life, I must move back to choosing my direction based on how I feel, instead of operating from a place of ego and faulty belief systems adopted from others. For me to change my life I would have to learn---actually re-learn---how to sense the emotion that I was having and change it to attract more of what I desired.

What I had done for large parts of my life was to make choices based on perceived outcomes, largely based on three reasons: safety, approval/acceptance, and control. These reasons all result from living in a state of fear. Fear can be good, when it's in an instinctive situation that keeps us from harm. However, when we operate from that place all of the time, the result is that we create an energy field that brings to our reality more reasons to have fear.

The law of attraction is very clear: Whether you think good thoughts or bad thoughts, they will attract the same energy as you give them. This is true because the energy of your emotion resonates with like energy.

Imagine that you enter a room filled with tuning forks of every key on the musical scale. You pick up a C tuning fork and hit it against your hand. The resulting energy of sound that reverberates through the room will cause all of the C tuning forks to resonate. The other forks remain silent. Like attracts like, no matter what form the energy appears. Emotions are the tuning forks of your life. They are both vehicles and interpreters of energy. They send out energy, and receive like energy.

By paying attention to the signals of your emotions, you can gauge the strength or weakness of your connection to Source Energy. The better you feel, the more you are in connection; the worse you feel, the less you are allowing the connection.

Thoughts and emotions are intrinsically linked: Thoughts stimulate emotion; emotion impacts thought. Even if you are not happy, when you move your mind to memories of happy occasions or to imagine pictures of being joyful, your emotion will begin to change. Conversely, if you experience an emotion, you begin to have thoughts about the cause of that emotion, because you desire to have either more or less of it.

You get what you think, and the subsequent emotion, whether you want it or not. If the majority of your thinking and resulting emotion is focused on the things you desire, your life experience will reflect those thoughts and emotions. If they are focused on scarcity, lack, and fear, you will experience their reflection. Nothing happens in life without your inviting it to you.
