Will the Law of Attraction Help Me Become Enlightened?

<h1>Will the Law of Attraction Help Me Become Enlightened?</h1>Author: <a title="Ariel Bravy" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/ariel-bravy/67662.htm">Ariel Bravy</a> So what’s the difference, first off, between the way people have traditionally operated in the world and the way they can now operate by using the Law of Attraction?
The normal way people got what they want was they went out, earned some money, and bought stuff using cash to ultimately find out that what they bought wouldn’t bring them happiness.
The new “spiritual” way of operating is to work in alignment with the Universe. They learn how the Law of Attraction works and get really good at it in order to manifest what they want, yet they still find out that getting what they want by manifesting it won’t make them happy.
It doesn’t matter whether they manifest it through the universe or they use more traditional methods, they still wind up with the end result of trying to get and experience what they want. Why else would they deliberately want to go and manifest something?
If you’ve noticed, no enlightened guru actually teaches the Law of Attraction. Why is this? The teachings on enlightenment are designed to help point you to the realization that none of that actually matters since it’s all an illusion anyways. All that matters is Oneness and the realization of your true Self. When the realization comes that what “you” truly are is All That Is, it just plain silly to try and “get” more of yourself anyways.
Now that’s not to say that the LoA is somehow “bad” and should be rejected. It certainly has its practical uses such as manifesting parking spots, but there’s the realization that whether or not you get the ideal parking spot (or anything else for that matter), it’s not going to make you happy. If you have to park in the back of the lot, so what?
The LoA is simply a tool we can use to play around with in this world, just like a car or a popsicle stick.
Now something that’s really cool is when you start aligning with your true Self, your whole life starts to become synchronistic automatically. It’s like you hop right into the flow and go right with the rhythm of life at just the perfect pace. Things manifest exactly when they need to without you actually having to do anything deliberately. You just be yourSelf and everything you need will be provided.
“Seek first the kingdom of God and all else will be added unto you.”
This is the meaning of that statement.
If you want to play with the LoA, feel free. You are welcome to do anything you wish with the free will that “you” have in this lifetime. Just don’t try to make yourself happy through it. Similarly, don’t expect it to make you enlightened.
The LoA is about seeing things the way you want them to be and believing them to be truth. Enlightenment is simply <a href="http://www.arielbravy.com/enlightenment/enlightenment-is-experiencing-the-world-as-it-is/">seeing things as they truly are</a> without any added mentation in the first place.About the Author: Ariel Bravy is a spiritual teacher guiding people along the pathway to enlightenment and unconditional love by helping people raise their level of consciousness and transcend their egos.

There is a Universal Law of Abundance - Part 2

By: Russell Symonds | 27/12/2009
Simply praying may not help much. Instead it may be more effective to meditate intensely for more than 15 minutes on the actual result of one's intent which must be in tune with the good of all and never against anyone's wishes. By understanding some of the timeless, mystical truths deeply embedded in the Lord's Prayer, one can find great comfort, guidance and inner peace, knowing that God's will for all is only happiness and prosperity.

There is a Universal Law of Abundance - Part 1

By: Russell Symonds | 27/12/2009
There is always within ourselves a wonderful essence of knowledge and joy that can be tapped into and enjoyed. Through regular meditation on pure love, and habitual thoughts of God's wonderful qualities, one can live in wholeness. What one habitually thinks and feels often determines the sort of life one will experience. It is possible to improve one's outlook on life and vibration rate through correct eating, forgiveness, knowing that we are Spirit, and loving God with deep devotion.

The Astonishing Revelations of Bashar - Part 4

By: Russell Symonds | 27/12/2009
There is documented, startling evidence of how a meteor impact ended the existence of Atlantis. Toward the end of a YouTube recording, "Bashar: Accelerating ET Contact Workshop 24" given by Bashar, he explains how Atlantis was plagued by warring factions and finally destroyed nearly 13,000 years ago by an asteroid. Two completely different sources, a 2007 scientific article, and a 1962 Leslie Flint seance recording, confirm this information.

The Astonishing Revelations of Bashar - Part 3

By: Russell Symonds | 27/12/2009
Probable futures, parallel realities, time-travel, and the real reason for the abductions (temporary detainments) by "alien grays" are explained clearly by Bashar's unprecedented insight and understanding on these subjects. The existence of Atlantis and how it ended is also confirmed by at least three entirely unrelated sources: Leslie Flint direct voice mediumship, a scientific article by Steven M. Stanley, and Bashar himself.

The Astonishing Revelations of Bashar - Part 2

By: Russell Symonds | 27/12/2009
Bashar's teachings on the "law of attraction" and related subjects are the most powerful, clear and extraordinary I have ever encountered. His knowledge comes to us from his multidimensional viewpoint, which to him is quite obvious and free of the confusion which so often plagues us "three-dimensional" beings. Bashar is here to help guide this world out of the darkness of limiting beliefs into a reality of spiritual light, love, abundance and universal peace.

The Astonishing Revelations of Bashar - Part 1

By: Russell Symonds | 27/12/2009
Many UFO's seen in our atmosphere are actually ships sent by advanced civilizations from higher spheres or worlds of vibration trying to initiate contact with our dimension. Bashar claims to be an extraterrestrial "hybrid" from an ethereal solar system 500 light years away and 300 years into the future. Bashar's reality of UFO's from higher spheres is confirmed and explained by some of the souls communicating through the direct voice mediumship of Leslie Flint.

Life in the Finer Realms Beyond the Veil of Death - Part 3

By: Russell Symonds | 27/12/2009
We shall discuss the "physics" of the astral worlds which are as real and natural as Earth only at higher vibrations of reality. What really are the astral worlds made of? Does time and distance really exist in the afterlife? If so, what are they like in the afterlife? Why is it so difficult for souls to communicate with Earth? What sort of multidimensional properties exist in the afterlife that don't exist on Earth?

The Law of Attraction is certainly a very useful and effective tool, but it will not ultimately lead one to enlightenment.

Waking Up From the Movie of Life

By: Ariel Bravy | 30/07/2008 | New Age
Just like how we get sucked into a movie and lose all sense of space and time, what we call "real life" is a movie just the same. We can learn to "snap out" of the mind-made world we create in our heads and come to experience a world that is even more exquisite than anything that we believe is real.

Meditation Helps to Manage and Relieve Stress

By: Ariel Bravy | 22/07/2008 | Meditation
Meditation brings about a sense of peace and helps reduce stress. One of the main reasons is that you detach from your reactions and give yourself the opportunity to respond in whatever method you wish to external stimuli. This allows you to choose your state instead of being controlled by external events and your own emotions.

By: Ariel Bravy | 16/07/2008 | New Age
