Lesson 1: The World You Attract

In this week’s module we’re going to continue our discussion of the laws of vibration and attraction in order to see how to apply them to our day to day lives. You’ll remember we already looked at the fundamental mechanics of these laws in Module 2, so I encourage you to go back and review any of the concepts presented there if they remain unfamiliar to you.

Before we go further, I want to quickly review a few of the main principles from that module.

The first is that your entire experience is a vibration, including yourself. You are constantly emitting a vibration and whenever you perceive a situation you do not like, the process of changing that situation is one of moving from the frequency where you currently are to the one in which you would prefer to be. You do this by changing your energy and changing your emotional state.

The second key point to realize is that your thoughts are powerful creators. They hold an incredible impact over your individual experience of the world around you and how that world responds to the actions that you take.

Finally, I want to emphasize that the key to changing your frequency — to moving from one state of vibration to another — is to leverage the thought-belief-emotional spectrum. These three areas, when taken together, form the seat of your power and the seat of your influence over your attitude, your vibration, your frequency, and how the world responds to you. We’ll be looking at each of these areas in more detail over the next few modules as well.

Again, if any of these topics sounds unfamiliar, I encourage you to go back to Module 2 and revisit any of the videos you need in order to get a quick refresher before continuing on.

No New Skill

When you’re first learning how to apply the law of attraction, one of the most important points to keep in mind is that you are already using this law.

Everything you have ever done, every experience or circumstance you have ever faced, has been the results of the concepts we’re talking about in this course. You simply weren’t aware that you were using this law naturally. I think that’s important because it takes a lot of the effort out of the equation. You don’t have to struggle in order to try to use this law, all you have to do is to become conscious — to become aware — of how it’s being applied in your life, and thus how you can use it to work with it, rather than against it.

To think about this, I like to think about the analogy of gravity. Gravity has always been present in your life, even from when you were a little toddler and first struggling to walk (and struggling against gravity) for the first time. At that point, you didn’t know that there was this thing called gravity. Later on, someone taught you that, and if you continued in the study of science, you learned formulas about it and eventually how to apply it to real-world constructs. Thus we can fly around the world and send satellites into orbit.

The point is that The Law of Attraction exists in much the same way. Everyone uses it. Some people are aware that they use it, while others are not aware they use it. Very few people are able to consciously take the steps that they need in order to control it and gain mastery over it in a practical way throughout their everyday life.

That’s the point I hope to get you to throughout the rest of this course.

You Are Already Attracting

I want to take a moment to harp on this same point a little further: you are already creating every single experience that happens to you in your life.

You can realize this intellectually, academically, before you actually realize it experientially, but it’s important to take that experiential step, to start to become aware of the fact that you are already attracting everything that you experience to you. This is a major step that you will take. A lot of people, when they first start to hear about The Law of Attraction and become familiar with the concept, still think of the idea in terms of: “Oh, I need to work to attract the things that I want.”

They don’t make the connection that even when they have the things they don’t want, that they are still attracting them. This means they don’t take responsibility in the way that they could were they to more fully recognize that concept.

This is really important because as you start to experience — not just to know, but to experience — The Law of Attraction in your day to day life, you will begin to feel responsible for every single thing that happens to you. This is a major milestone in your journey from victim to creator consciousness, which is something we’ll talk about more in the next module on beliefs.

For now, simply begin to reflect on ways in which The Law of Attraction is already active in your life, both the good and the bad.

Exercise: Are You A Victim?

In order to really drive this point home experientially, I want you to take some time to create a list of three to five experiences that, when they happened to you, felt out of your control. I want you to take the time to reflect on these experiences, beginning to take responsibility for them.

I don’t mean this in the traditional sense. I don’t mean taking responsibility for your actions (though that may certainly be a part of it), but rather taking responsibility for your vibration. I want you to reflect on how every detail of the circumstance was your own creation. Reflect on how your thought, belief, and emotional patterns led you into that situation and led to whatever consequence or result came out of it.

I know this can be difficult if you’ve never been through this process before. If you find this exercise challenging, there are two tips you can use to help with it.

The first is to try to look at events that were further in the past. Sometimes it helps to have a long timespan between the event and the recognition of all of these forces that came into play with it. Sometimes when something happened just last week or last month, you don’t necessarily have the perspective you need to see how all of the different factors played out, so look further into the past to see if that helps you to gain responsibility.

The second is to look not just at the big things, but at the little things. Sometimes we’re so involved in the major dillemas and major life dramas that we experience, that we can’t view them objectively. If that’s the case, try looking for an example of a more minor situation, perhaps one that doesn’t really matter, so that you can play with it.

Remember, the idea is always to have fun with these exercises. The idea is not to give yourself a complete psychological evaluation and see how you’ve created everything bad in your life. The point is to start to play with looking at how this energy is already at work, and to start to become more consciously aware of it. That’s a major first step in order to then be able to control it in the future.

Exercise: Identifying Patterns of Thought

Once you can start to see how this energy has applied to your past, it’s time to start playing with how it applies to your present and your future.

For this exercise, I want you to play with the thought of something that you want. It can be something you’ve wanted for a while, or something whimsical you come up with right now just for the purpose of the exercise.

I want you to play with looking at what attitudes you hold, what thoughts, beliefs, and emotions do you hold about that subject, that might be keeping you from experiencing the desire you want? What is it that’s holding you back?

You can think about this in terms of your personal action, but I strongly encourage you to think about it in terms of the energy behind that action. For example, there might be a specific step you need to take in order to achieve something — you might need to go work on a project — but rather than thinking about the action, think about why you haven’t yet done the work. What thought do you have that holds you back from it? What emotion do you have in relation to that step that you know you need to take?

Try to do this exercise playfully. Try to make it fun. If it helps, pick a desire that isn’t the be all and end all for you, but is a secondary whim you want. That will help you to play with it a little more easily, without stressing that you need to master everything in your life in one day.
