Beyond Prayer and the Law of Attraction


Have you been praying for something for a very long time, but still have not received? When I say a very long time I am referring to years or decades. Have you purposely implemented the Universal Law of Attraction, yet, no manifestation has occurred? You have done all the things we have been advised to do, such as making affirmations, visualizing what you want, acting as if you already have it, and so forth, but, without desired results 😞. You are now becoming mentally exhausted, tired and weary. You no longer believe your pastor when he or she hollers, "Your change is coming! Your breakthrough is on the way!" If I keep it 100, most of the changes and breakthroughs have occurred in the pastor's bank account $$$$$$ Cha-ching! Sadly, you are losing faith, hope, and and your light is getting notably dimmer. Your heart might even harden making you bitter and pessimistic. On top of that, you are observing other people who have achieved the exact things you desire. Consequently, you either become depressed or envious aka a hater...trying to tear down and discredit those who have accomplished what you have failed to do. The worst scenario is you resorting to illegal and/or unscrupulous methods to get what you want. Inevitably, that will lead to bad karma...more of what you don't want.

Based on my research, observations, and personal experiences, I have discovered potential obstacles to acquiring the things we need and want in our lives. 

Begging and Pleading Will Get You Nowhere

I love my mother and I know she taught me what she thought was right. I was raised to pray to this "being" up in the clouds. I had to beg and plead for whatever I wanted. I pictured him as this old man with a long white beard sitting on a stone or marble chair floating in the clouds. I was terrified of him because I thought if I was bad he would send me to that terrible place! Therefore, I begged and pleaded and hoped he would have mercy on my filthy soul. I was so lost and misguided back then it physically hurts to think about it now...ouch! We humans are not suppose to beg and plead, but manifests as we were created to do. Manifestation is activated through our affirmations that we have already arrived to the destination. "I am healed and my body is disease free. My daughter has been accepted in the college of her choice with a full scholarship. I am living in my beautiful dream house." All things are manifested from the spirit realm. There are no restrictions of time and space within the spirit realm so our desires already exist. However, we must draw them toward our physical existence via the Universal Law of Attraction. Praying is one of the avenues by which the law of attraction is assessed. Thus, our prayers must affirm what is already ours without the need to beg and plead for things. When we activate the law of attraction we draw energy to transform reality. The transformation is called Alchemy. It changes low frequency to high frequency and operates through the Universal Law of Perpetual Transmutation.

Moving Backwards is Not Progress

What is the use of taking 3 steps forward if you are going to take 3 or more steps backwards? You are counteracting your forward movement by backward movement. Counteraction is worse than no action. We often unintentionally sabotage the law of attraction by saying/doing things that negate what we are trying to manifest. For example, you wake-up every morning and affirm you are a multi-billionaire. However, later that day, you converse with your coworkers about how you are barely hanging on, financially broke, and struggling with bills. The next day the cable man arrives to provide service and you offer him "under-the-table" money to hook you up with all the channels...of course, unknown to the cable company. Later you go grocery shopping and you only choose the cheapest brands of every item although you have enough money to purchase the better brands. Can you see where I am going with this? 

Although you routinely make the affirmations of financial wealth, you habitually think, talk, and conduct yourself like a poor person. By conversing with people about your financial struggles, you are drawing more energy to it, instead of towards the circumstances you desire. We don't speak things unless they are first on our minds, whether from the conscious or subconscious. Our focus is obviously what lingers in our thoughts. Hence, the focus must be shifted so our words will reflect what we are trying to manifest. Words are powerful energy receptors so we must speak in ways that draw the energies we want. 

Accepting bootleg products/services is a poor person's behavior and yields that same energy. Most people with lots of money are capable of paying for their products/services and reject bootleg and under-the-table offers. Positive affirmations cannot override a mindset and behavior that demonstrate the opposite. We must stop doing the things that characterize a situation we are trying to change.

Please note, there is nothing wrong with purchasing only cheaper generic brands, particularly if you have no other choice. However, in many cases, higher priced items tend to be of a higher quality, such as organic foods. Someone who gravitates towards the higher quality items are more in alignment with financial prosperity. 

Although we can’t see it with our physical eyes, everything in the universe, material & non-material, is constantly vibrating in motion. Specific things vibrate at specific frequencies giving rise to a signature waveform/energy. The Universal Law of Vibration mandates we align ourselves with the energy we are trying to attract. If we don't, we are counteracting any progress achieved from our affirmations.


Clear the Clutter

In order to effectively manifest, one must make room and create space for whatever it is. That space could be mental or physical. Either way, the circumstances must support the manifestation. A person decides they want a puppy. However, the person has an ultra-busy schedule, lives alone, and is rarely home. Pets require a lot of attention, training, and 1:1 care, particularly when they are young. Also, the home environment is not pet-proof and could be unsafe for the pup. This individual must modify their schedule to have more time at home and rearrange their home to create a safe environment for the pet. If not, they will need to reconsider what they are trying to manifest for something that fits their lifestyle, such as getting a fish tank instead. 

Another person is lonely and is trying to attract their dream-mate. Yet, they still have significant psychological damage, pain, and baggage from a previous dysfunctional relationship. If he or she does not clear the clutter, they will potentially run off or scare away the person they desire. It is best to work on yourself and create the best version of you. In that manner, you will attract the best person for you. An excellent question to ask yourself is, "Would your dream person realistically want to be with someone like you?" You may not like the answer, but be honest. If yes, you are on the right track. If no, make the necessary personal adjustments or modify your requirements for a mate. Never rush the process. Keep it real and be true to yourself.


The Present is the Priority

When trying to manifest a better situation, it is imperative to make the best of the one you are in. The past is gone and the future is not here yet. Therefore, the present is the only status that truly matters. Creating the best version of the present stirs emotions of higher frequencies. As a result, you will attract higher frequencies in your life. In short, you will receive the things you are trying to manifest a lot faster! Case in point, a severely overweight individual trying to achieve weight loss and a healthier and more attractive body. Presently, this person absolutely hates their body, how they feel, and look. She has accepted that her ultimate weight goal is not going to happen overnight, but is a process. She makes daily affirmations of weight loss and physical fitness. She starts working out at the gym and has adopted a healthy eating regimen. While losing weight she pampers herself with routine facials, manicures/pedicures, and massages. Make-up and hair always on point bringing out her best features. Clothing is chosen that fits properly and accentuates her plus-sized body. She is maximizing her present situation and improving her status prior to reaching her destination. By shifting the present energy higher, the future will have no choice but to go with the flow.

Another common undesirable situation is someone who loathes their job and dreams of a better one. By all means, take the necessary steps to acquire the job or business you want while maximizing your present one. Things a person could be doing to maximize their present circumstances while pursuing something better includes the following: 

  • Developing more competent skills to improve job performance. When we perform a job well, even if we don't like that job, there is a notable level of satisfaction experienced.
  • Maintaining a healthy lifestyle. The healthier we are the more endurance we have and greater ability to tolerate stressful situations. 
  • Networking with influential people at the workplace. People with authority can be great reservoirs of information and/or resources.
  • Identify and focus on any positive aspects of the job. No matter how horrible you perceive your workplace, there is always something good that can be recognized. After all, it is paying your bills and maintaining your survival. Not everyone is able to do that if the unemployment and homelessness rate is any indication.


Be Grateful 

The universe/our Creator loves gratitude! Prayer and the law of attraction are enhanced by our expressions of gratitude. It raises the vibrations exponentially. We can never overdo it with being appreciative and thankful for the positive things in our lives. Let me reiterate, we cannot overdo it with gratitude. In return, we get more of what we desire so we can express even more gratitude. Human beings tend to respond the same way being microcosms of the macrocosm. If someone appreciates our efforts, we are more likely to continue whatever it is and do even more...As Above So Below


Opposites Attract?

According to quantum mechanics, positively and negatively charged atoms called ions are attracted to each other. We know this as fact in the physical world with the mechanics of the batteries we use on a daily basis. The positive and negative poles of batteries are attracted to each other. The device will not work if that process does not happen. Yet, we are told that we attract the same energy we put out. It sounds like a contradiction, but based on my research it is not. Metaphysics essentially explains how the physical world interacts with the spiritual world...It connects the 2 realms. Human emotions (non-material) are determined by chemicals in the body known as neurotransmitters (material). The 7 major energy centers of the human body known as chakras are believed to have significant impact on these chemicals. Neurotransmitters are found in the nervous system and carry messages between brain cells called neurons. Their presence or absence causes the gamut of emotions we experience. Mental illness is often caused by an imbalance of neurotransmitters in the brain. 

The article Negative Ions Create Positive Vibes by Denise Mann explains that negative ions that enter our blood stream from the environment increase levels of Serotonin in our bodies. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter responsible for feelings of happiness and well-being. It is described as relieving stress, providing energy during the day, and fighting depression. It appears that negative ions facilitate positive feelings. It just might stand to reason that positive ions stimulate neurotransmitters that cause negative emotions and/or inhibit serotonin. Positive thoughts emerge from negative ions in the brain. Negative thoughts emerge from positive ions in the brain. Remember, the brain is the physical house for the soul while we are in human form. Some practices that are reputed to increase negative ions are 432 Hz music, burning sage, chakra unblocking, and prayer/meditation. The spirit realm detects the positively or negatively charged brain cells via a metaphysical process. Ultimately, the complimentary energy is attracted that manifests in one's life...It is only a theory and I must do more research to confirm, but so far it makes sense.
