Witch Notes: Law of Attraction, 15 Nov 2015

I find the Law of Attraction confounding. I understand that my thoughts create my reality. I’m a witch. Of course my thoughts create my reality. An empath as well, I experience everything intensely. Everything is pure emotional resonance. All at once. How do I simply notice it all without feeling in? Because I think that’s where I get in trouble, the whole, feeling in part. It’s easy to get stuck in someone else’s emotional resonance without realizing that, in doing so, you’re activating the Law of Attraction. Then, all of a sudden, all sorts of weird synchronicities begin to happen.

Complete strangers tell me anything from something personal that they’re currently going through, to their complete life stories if we get stuck in the checkout line at the grocery store. I thank the Goddess that I finally figured out self-checkout. Otherwise, the Law of Attraction goes into overdrive. In self-checkout, everyone’s too busy doing their own thing there to even notice me. Grocery stores can be overwhelming for me. My aura is enveloping in nature, and too much disparate energy coming in on me all at once can leave me exhausted.

According to the Law of Attraction, if we think or talk about something, we draw more of it to us. Doesn’t matter what it is. We’re that powerful. We’d have to be, to focus part of ourselves into physical form. Each of us is creation energy made manifest. But my focus is mine. No one else’s. My husband’s focus is his. Not mine. The trick is not in how well we interact together, but in how well we stay in our own focus. Our experience here must be our own.

I experience people. Empaths are to observe, instead of engage, or we get stuck in drama. So the answer to my dilemma is right there. My reason for being here is to experience my creative vision of things. If that happens to overlap with someone else’s vision fine, but it’s still my creative vision. If I focus in on someone else’s creative vision, then I derail my own. Then I live in resistance to what I truly want. Spending time trying to understand the other person’s vision typically proves fruitless. So there you go. Stay in my own lane.

I don’t have to spend my time merging energy with anyone. We’re already one in Source Energy, so I can go within to experience that reality any time I please. Experiencing another as who he or she truly is, instead of what is presented in form, is the real challenge. We believe what we see around us as the truth of things, when it’s only based on perception. Seeing all as holy extensions of Source Energy is the real truth we seek.

Everyone else is in the same position I am. Each person has his or her own path that they too decided beforehand. We all are in the process of creating our own respective visions of the world. To live successfully within that construct requires no judgment to enter in. And when we do allow our focus to shift, and become immersed in another’s vision, that’s when the drama begins. Emotional intensity is the attraction, and it’s hard to shift back to our own focus. All the more reason for each of us to remember who we are, and to stay in our own resonance. Applying this concept to the world at large, it’s easy to see how conflict both begins and continues.  Judgment keeps us from experiencing our vision as the free flowing extensions of Source that we are. Seeing another as a sister or brother in Source frees us to resume our creative focus.

We’ve been told from childhood forward to suppress our feelings. I remember my mother telling me that I had everything, so why on earth would I be depressed? Golly, I don’t know. I was an adolescent living in an abusive home. Do the math. So even when it was appropriate to feel depression, I was ridiculed for it. But it’s our emotional presence that we need to listen to. It’s our guide, our intuition. I experience negative emotion as dense energy in varying degrees. Things slow down and the emotional intensity of the moment swirls chaotically around me. That should be my cue to divert my focus back to my own, but then I want to help, and who knows when I’ll come up for air.

I know I’m aligned when I fraggle about. I loved Fraggle Rock on HBO. Convincing John, The Wise and All-Knowing Trash Heap..it was awesome and my boys sat riveted every time it was on television. But that’s what happens when I’m in my alignment, my zone if you will. I fraggle about. I’m happy, centered, focused, aware of little else going on around me.

I write sometimes to figure things out. Today, I got a little closer to understanding how to make the Law of Attraction work for me, rather than against me. Below is a bindrune from Hagalaz, Nauthiz and Isa. A little rune magick to help stay aligned.
