In this, the tenth and last
installment of the manifesting joy article series, we're going to cover a key
point to making the law of attraction work for you: thinking about your
emotions as a scale. Recognizing that your emotions are a scale is paramount
for manifesting joy in your life; however, it's incredibly helpful for the rest
of your law of attraction work-in many ways because it reminds you that the law
of attraction is a process...
And this is the last and maybe the
most important reason you'd want to actively manifest joy in your life: having
control over your emotions will allow you greater control over your point of
attraction. Plus, to be completely honest, emotional control will be so handy
in your life that it's a virtue well worth having just for its everyday value.
So, what is this emotional scale?
Well, your emotions range from horrendously bad (in my opinion, existential
angst-the feeling that the world no longer responds to your being, i.e. you and
everything you do is completely worthless-is the worst feeling you can have) to
amazingly good (in my opinion, the expression of true love-I don't mean
romantic love here really, though it could be... ).
According to the law of attraction,
the results in your life are a direct correlation to what you're thinking and
feeling. So, the better you feel about the world, yourself, and your desires,
the more likely you are to receive them. And other than the obvious fact it
that it feels extremely horrible, this is the reason I think existential angst
is the worst feeling possible. I mean think about it for a minute: even on the
most secular reading, the more you believe and feel like you can do something,
the more likely you are to do it.
You can see this a little more
blatantly if you look at the states of failure. Procrastination is thinking and
feeling like you don't want to do something. Indecision is thinking and feeling
like you probably shouldn't do something. Fear is thinking and feeling you
can't do something.
In other words, to really succeed
at your goals, you have to align yourself with them vibrationally, which is to
say become the kind of person who has what you desire (i.e. pickup their
thoughts, beliefs, and actions). And this isn't an idea just in the law of
attraction, it's all throughout 19th, 20th, and 21st century thought. For
instance, "class consciousness" in Marx is the idea that you're born
into a classed society and indoctrinated into your class. Napoleon Hill
discusses poverty and wealth consciousness-but with a major difference from
Marx being that he's interested in the proletariat becoming the bourgeois
rather than eradicating classes...
And the most important in our
context is modeling, a concept from NLP. When you model, you find someone who
does what you want to do exceptionally well, find out how they do it, and then
do it yourself. For instance, if you wanted to learn guitar, you'd want to find
the best guitar player you could and learn "everything they know".
Unfortunately, this is the exact opposite of the way most people approach their
lives-why develop, stretch, and grow when you can stagnate and lord over other,
weaker people?
In other words, something you may
have caught onto about the law of attraction: if you don't have something in
your life, it's because you're not the kind of person that has the things that
you want. In fact, becoming an "xyz magnet" (a monopole magnet of
course), a very trendy topic in LOA is nothing but teaching people how to be
the kind of person that attracts such things e.g. if you desire sex, become a
"chick magnet", which is to say a seducer.
So, what does all this have to do
with manifesting joy? Well, if you've followed along carefully, you've realized
that being joyful is a choice; however, this choice entails overriding many of
your basic beliefs, emotions, and actions and finding new ways to be that
actually serve you. You've realized you should find a hero, a person who's
already joyful, to mimic. Likewise, you've learned that emotions are a scale
from horrible to amazing-and maybe you realized the important key to this: the
law of attraction is a process, a journey, and as such, you need to take it a
step at a time. Many people fail trying to feel better because they don't allow
themselves the opportunity to tiptoe their way to joy-they feel like they must
leap to joy. But as people who try this usually find, between despair and love
is a vast, deep canyon that's better travelled by donkey than by trying to
mimic Evel Knievel and jump over it.
