The Law of Attraction - Always? (continued)
The Law of Attraction - Always? (continued)
Following on from yesterday’s post, I have just finished listening to a teleseminar in which the well-known internet marketer Mike Filsaime interviewed Dr Joe Vitale, author and teacher from The Secret.
Joe’s rags-to-riches story is quite inspiring, and he is a great exponent of the effect of the Law of Attraction in all circumstances, good or bad. It was therefore interesting hear him being asked about the point I wrote about yesterday by Donna Fox, one of Mike’s business colleagues.
Donna prefixed her question with a warning that it was not a ‘feel good’ point that she wanted to make, and that it might be tricky for Joe to answer. I appreciated the fact that Donna felt able to pose a ‘difficult′ question to Mike’s interview guest, and it was to Joe’s credit that he didn′t try to duck the issue.
In essence, what he said was that responsibility is not the same a blame, so there is no question of ‘blaming the victim′. I guess he could have gone on to question the appropriateness of the the word “victim″, with all its connotations of helplessness, but time was limited.
He expressed the view that, while it may be hard to understand or to accept, there is a fundamental law of ’cause and effect′ at work at every moment in our lives, and that includes at the time of birth. Whether or not we accept responsibility for what has happened to us, we can take responsibility for our reaction - in other words, what we think and do about the situation.
For me, this is the key point. The past is the past, what’s done is done, but we have control over our current thoughts and actions which will influence (if not control) our future. If we accept that it is not just our actions but our thoughts which matter, then we have gone a long way to ensuring that life will go the way we want it.
We can accelerate this process by learning some simple steps to focus and direct our thoughts through simple techniques and tools, and this is the essence of what Dr Joe Vitale and others were saying in The Secret.
