Love. It is everything. The source of life. I like to consider myself a loving person however today I have realised something that I will try and explain now. That is this: if you focus on eliminating the things you hate you are more loving. The law of attraction would suggest that we should concentrate on that which we want. That is true. It is also true that we can’t think about what we don’t want without thinking about it because our subconscious mind does not process negatives directly. So what should we do when we are reminded of something we detest? Think about how to eliminate it.
This thought occured to me this afternoon whilst eating my lunch and reading the newspaper. In that paper there was an article about a corrupt mayor and a suicide. I was shocked to the core that this still occurs in our world because for a very long time I have completed avoided news for the reason that I hadn’t realised how I should deal with the negative material that ubiquitously appears in our news. Then I realised that if I can’t avoid it then the rational thing to do would be to use my energy to think of new ways to eliminate these things from our world. If i focus on eliminating corruption, eliminating suicide, eliminating addiction, eliminating poverty then the law of attraction is working in the right way.
I am also trying to deal with another emotive experience that occured last night. I was in Parnell meeting with a group of successful businessmen at a high class restuarant. On my way inside I saw a Maori women cowering from the cold wind in the corner of the shop entrance. She wore all black and had black hair, she was obviously homeless. In a hurry I didn’t have a chance to think of helping her even though I had a wad of cash in my wallet. I went to my meeting and left without further thought for the woman until I was in the car on the long drive home. I realised I must have walked straight past her on the way out from my meeting, which was short and sweet, and completely ignored her. Not that she wanted to be noticed, however on the drive home I felt awful because I realised I could have and should have taken the time to help her. Or at least offer some assistance. Perhaps this a step in the right direction.
So did you turn around and go back? That would have been “taking action”.
