Pushing Against - Creates More Of

16th June 2008

To reiterate a lesson from “The Secret”, the more you push against something unwanted, the more of it you will attract into your life.

Whatever you give your attention to, you attract more of.

Pushing against something unwanted, creates more of.

As was mentioned in “The Secret”, Mother Teresa understood this principle. She was quoted saying…

“I was once asked why I don’t participate in anti-war demonstrations. I said that I will never do that, but as soon as you have a pro-peace rally, I’ll be there.”

A few weeks ago, I discovered a wonderful YouTube video demonstrating this point perfectly. Click here to see that video.

It isn’t a hard concept to grasp, yet, I still see “spiritually enlightened” folks giving their attention to what they don’t want. A year ago, a young British girl, Madeleine McCann, went missing whilst on a holiday in Portugal.

I must have received about 5 non-personal emails from people forwarding me a message from the family asking to help find young Madeleine.

But the problem with these types of messages is that they are pushing against something they did not want. They didn’t want Madeleine to be missing, and because they were so fearful, they were sending messages left right and center.

The more publicity the situation got, the more negative energy was being created around this subject.

Can negative energy attract what you want? No.

Feeling negative and feeling fearful only attracts more situations that are in vibrational harmony with what you’re feeling. The fact that this missing girl situation got so much publicity meant that the collective consciousness was growing with more and more fear and worry.

As more and more people tuned into the news and forwarded emails trying to find her, the more unwanted feelings and unwanted energy was created.

A year later… Madeleine has not been found. It’s a perfect vibrational match.

So, what could help this situation? I believe that if you take your attention away from feeling sad about a missing girl, and focus on anything that makes you feel good, or focus on how happy the family will be when they are reunited, that will greatly shift your own personal energy and contribute some positive energy to mass-consciousness.

If there is to be peace in the world,
There must be peace in the nations.
If there is to be peace in the nations,
There must be peace in the cities.
If there is to be peace in the cities,
There must be peace between neighbors.
If there is to be peace between neighbors,
There must be peace in the home.
If there is to be peace in the home,
There must be peace in the heart.

- Lao Tzu

    yes, i know this is true but doing it is another task. I know negative brings more negative, just like a stream of water flowing down a hill gains momentum and starts washing away the top soil, so does negativity tear at our lives and souls.
    This task is huge to change our thought processes to only positive thoughts. Yes, positive feels so much better. Change has to begin with me and change will follow, as our lives and energy touch the whole world.

    Thanks Julia, Irene and Patricia for your comments.

    Gary

    (Great idea Patricia! :) “I don’t want MORE money!!!” … “Don’t give me more money, whatever you do!!!”)

    Love it! I don’t want more money too! I have often been amazed at how often I will mention something that I don’t want and in no time at all - there it is. I don’t feel as if I am focusing on it, I guess it’s just that I mentioned it.
    Thanks,
    tbea

    Ha… the tricky thing may be to feel that fear about it, that inner rejection.

    Everything IS ABOUT FEELINGS. What we should focus is on mastering our feelings. Then things are (will be) easy.

    :) Love these conversations!

    20 years ago when I was living in England, I was in a tiny cinema in Edinburgh where the rows of seats were all very long and once you were in the middle of one you were pretty stuck as to getting in or out. As I looked at the people coming through the door, I noticed a very scruffy looking man with long uncombed unwashed hair and I said to myself over and over ‘don’t come and sit down next to me.’ There were plenty of seats left at this stage but where did he go - he came and sat down right next to me and the pong was indescribable and I was trapped there for the entirety of the session. All I can say is that after ten minutes of so one’s sense of smell is habituated to even pongy odours. But I learnt my lesson and never again did I consciously wish for what I didn’t want. If I see a baby coming onto a plane, I block it out of my mind and I try to do this with negative things, so I will never watch crime shows. Keep up the good work Gary. Reading your entries is how I now start my day. Bye for now.
