A new sense of having control over their lives motivates them to create and learn more. After several consciously intended uses of the "Law of Attraction" and their subsequent celebrations of this new found ability, something comes along that wasn’t intended. In fact, this experience is very unpleasant. They come running back to their teacher and say “This stuff doesn’t work.” With a grin I gently remind them of their previously created shiny new car but don’t insist they take it back to the dealer. “Maybe this stuff does work!” For those of us who have been up and down the “Spiritual Block,” so to speak, we know that the Law of Attraction works, and it works absolutely, whether our point of attraction was conscious or unconscious. Realizing the Law of Attraction does work absolutely, without exception, can be a big pill to swallow. When those manifestations and experiences come along some may not be pleasant or we may not be proud of. Rather than cursing or condemning them, it behooves us to look at this as an opportunity to look into that mirror of experience and seize the lesson that it offers. What it offers is to see what it is within us, that through our thoughts, actions, words, feelings and expectations we are attracting this experience. Once we “own” this we can move on to greater understandings. Then and only then will our experience change. It is not a new understanding that we tend to be products of our environment. If we grow up in a family that argues all the time we are likely to experience the same thing in our own family — that is, unless we make a conscious choice to experience and ultimately expect something different. It is our expectation that is such a powerful force in perpetuating a set of conditions, something we experience over and over again.
