Law of Attraction and Applied Spirituality: Why Violence Begets Violence and Love Begets Love

Finding research showing that violence breeds violence is fairly easy. It’s pretty much common sense and simple logic. Trash in; Trash out is computer jargon. If we were to think of the human mind as a computer, it applies with equal truth. “If you sleep with dogs, you wake up with fleas” is a saying that gives a physical image to the same logic. Today it is known as the Law of Attraction, as if we have never heard this truth before. But what seems certain is that we have difficulty applying simple logic from one context to another.

The Law of Attraction by any other name simply describes “what would you expect?”

If I physically date a certain type of person, then sooner or later I will evidence some of their predominant characteristics. So if I’ve spent considerable time with people who are millionaires, it logically follows that I’ll “absorb” some of their characteristics. I will be influenced. [Note to self: hang with millionaires]

What is this thing called “influence”? It is a pattern of thought that influences me in one way or another. Influence, like all things here on planet earth, can be good or bad. But influence itself is an energetic form. All thought is an energetic form: books, speeches, movies, plays, music. They are all produced with the intention of influencing, just as much as this article.

I intend for us to begin to understand and respect the power of our thoughts and therefore our thought forms and the resulting influence we have on one another. The idea that we are creating every bit of our reality is of paramount importance; because what we think matters (becomes matter or action) and what we say and do influences others. The idea that “God” has anything to do with this is only true to the extent that a single individual has “connected” with the Infinite and received guidance and inspiration to impart the message from him.

We can create individually, which is how we can and do experience our own unique lives. And we can and do co-create with others, which is how we have our collective experiences as a family, as a club, as a corporation, as a nation. We create through our thought forms that we have. However, the last ace in the hole for each and every one of us is free will. We can choose to think a thought of our own sovereign decision. In the privacy of our minds with our own absolute choice, we can think anything, take any position, harbor and believe whatever we want: with the collective or with ourselves alone. No one, absolutely no one, can choose a thought for you.

Here is the basis, in fact, our fundamental freedom. I can hear all kinds of thoughts all day long in the press, from my friends, in movies and books, but at the end of the day I’m the only one who can sort out the trash and do without whatever I choose. being “no good” for me and keeping those things that I feel are “good” for me. I choose not to be afraid. I can choose to be creative. I can choose to be free.

Thought forms have momentum; Some more than others. For example, the way of thinking and the resulting behaviors regarding war have deep roots in the history of man. It is what has always been done. If we think of a thoughtform like war having deep ruts in the road while traveling in the chariot, then you can imagine the difficulty of getting that chariot out of the ruts let alone on another road. The deeper the grooves, the more entrenched the pattern, the more habitual the behavior. The intellectual thought (human mind) responds with phrases “that’s how it is done”; or “that’s how it is”; or “it is our tradition” or “our history”.

Free will gives us the option to do anything the way we want. Many times, though, we’re riding in this rut ​​and decide we don’t like the ride anymore. We want to do something different. (This is certainly no different than changing a habit on an individual basis.) But then there’s this thing called momentum along with the other thing: that we don’t know any other way. The new path is – for the moment – unknown.

The human mind likes to compartmentalize experiences, which is why we have trouble learning something as simple as “sleeping with a dog” as a general principle for living. So dealing with the human mind is the whole point of making a change.

As long as I have been alive, I have known about peace and the peace movement and the desire for that change. It has been a thought form with little momentum, that is, a new thought. In the last 40 years it has been gaining more energy and, therefore, it has increased its momentum. I mean, more people right now are entertaining, thinking, pondering, considering the idea of ​​”peace” – the energy of peace – than ever before.

And common sense logic asks, “what can you expect?” More of us now know and consciously realize that if we participate in war, we can expect more from it.

In doing some research for this article, I found a wonderful academic article written by Laura E. Weed when I was at the College of St Rose in Albany, New York. has the right, Why violence begets violence and love makes love possible.

The really wonderful thing about Ms. Weed’s article is that it talks about the biology (the science) of the brain when it focuses on “good” or “bad.” Using the research of Andrew Newberg, Eugene d’Aqili, and Vince Rause in her book, Why doesn’t God go away?Ballantine Books, 2001, illustrates the science of changes in the brain when focused on a violent event as opposed to the biology of the brain when focused on a spiritual event.

now remember who can choose where we focus the brain. We make. Each of us has sovereignty over the focus of our thoughts.

Since we can choose where we will or will not focus our thought energy (our spirit), our Life Force, and by the very act of that choice we change the chemistry of our anatomy, then we can correctly conclude that we are creating the entirety of our own reality the 100% of the time. We are creating 100% of our biology, 100% of our individual experience and 100% of our collective experience.

Thus, in a small article it is conclusively shown that the Law of Attraction is true: in fact, violence begets violence and love makes love possible. It is what we can conclude with simple common sense. The mind blower is that we control the focus completely.

The reason we undertake a spiritual practice (not necessarily a religion) is for self-mastery.

Self-mastery can be summed up as conscious and deliberate control over one’s Life Force energy focus..

Science and spirituality are blurring, aren’t they?
