The Law of Attraction is difficult for people with a depressive state of mind. The whole concept of the Law, the attitude that makes it work, is one of positive thought.

Therefore, if you’re pessimistic by nature and feel that although you’re prepared to go through the motions, in your reality you feel that it’ll never amount to anything. Because of this, your chances of enjoying the benefits of the Law are slim to nothing.

I would suggest, then, that before you do anything else, before you envision your new life, your new found wealth, that you dig into yourself as deeply as possible, right back into your childhood as far back as you can remember, and see if you can fathom those occurrences that produced the less than happy state in which you find yourself today.

It’s so easy for people to tell you that you must always be in a positive frame of mind. They’re perfectly correct, but let’s assume you’ve just lost your job, or, if self employed, that your business is going from bad to worse. Your spouse, not being the most supportive person in the world, is showing distinct signs of restlessness to the point where she’s taken a lover.

Now these setbacks would be difficult for anyone to take, even a person who’s mind is free from depressive thoughts. The chances are that the marriage and the business have been going down hill now for some time. As far as the latter’s concerned, you know you’ve done everything you can except, perhaps, diversify. So you concentrate on this and experience a fairly healthy turnaround.

All of a sudden, your wife and her lover have a blazing row, most especially as you’re beginning to earn decent money again, and she decides she’ll make up with you. Whether you accept this or not is outside the purview of this article, but you’re certainly much more in a position of strength. You’re very anxious to pursue the Law of Attraction, and now your mind has been eased by the general improvement in your circumstances, you redouble your efforts, determining that you won’t allow such things to cloud your progress with the L of A in future.

Unfortunately, however, you’re not of this type. As a child, you suffered from parents who never encouraged you in anything you did. Indeed, were you to do something well, the only reaction from them would be a sniff and a raising of the eyebrows. Through your early teens, you tried your best to please them, but to no avail. Finally, when you reached adolescence, you realized it was a pointless cause and that perhaps you were pretty hopeless. You’d been told you were often enough.

You proved that you were a good mechanical engineer, however, and held down a job in this capacity for a number of years. You came across the Law of Attraction and decided to try it. It made perfect sense to you, and you made a conscious effort to turn your thinking around until, for the most part, your thoughts were really quite positive. Then, through no fault of your own, you lost your job and all the memories of childhood came flooding back.

“You’re useless.” “Never amount to anything.” So the good, positive thoughts you’d taken so long to nurture, flew out of the window, together with any hope of benefiting from the Law of Attraction. You don’t suffer from major depression. Never have. Your thoughts just go hand in hand with pessimism. So through no fault of your own, you’ve been knocked off your perch again.

But, no more. You mustn’t let this negativity conquer you. You have one life and you deserve all the good things it has to offer. Dig deeply into yourself. It’ll take some time, probably, but exorcise all that nonsense you were forced to listen to as a child. Write it all down. Was any of it true? Of course not.

By doing this, you’ll be well on the way to turning your life around and enjoying the benefits of the Law of Attraction

Let’s look at the lesson we should all pay attention to in the
Bible, the flight of the Israelites from Egypt. Was their
escape through the Red Sea merely an exploit by God or
was there some other signifigance to this act?

1 Cor. 10:1-2; Paul says that our forefathers were all under
and protected by the cloud (God’s presence) that went
before them, and everyone of them passed safely through
the Red Sea. Exod. 23:21, 14:22,29; says each one of them
allowed themselves to be baptized into Moses in the cloud
and in the sea. This baptism is very signifigant because it
now meant they were obligated to the law, to Moses, to the
covenant. They were consecrated and set apart to the
service of God.

Today our own baptism in water obligates us to our
covenant with Christ. This submerssion and emerssion
symbolizes our consecration from death into eternal life. It is
our resurrection from sin and death.

During their journey, God provided them all with the same
spiritual food and water which came from the Rock, a
foreshadowing of Christ. Today we eat the same spiritual
food which comes from the Word of God. 1 Cor. 10:5,6 says
that when those who fell away from the truth by lusting after
their carnal desires perished. This still holds true today.
Once we take hold of the truth, we are then held accountable
to keep the truth and never tempt God by doubting Him.
Once He makes a promise He is obligated to keep it and so
are we!

To doubt and fear is in itself a sin. Why? It’s a lack of faith.
Rom. 14:23 says that anything not done in faith is a sin.
That’s a pretty steep accusation. What do you doubt and fear
in your life?

These Israelites began to fall away and perish because of
all the complaining and doubts they had. Even though God
had just brought them through a sea, it still wasn’t enough
to get their trust in God. This consequently led to their
demise, their spiritual death which seperated them from
God. God is holy and righteous and therefore He cannot
fellowship with ungodly behavior. (1 Cor. 10:10,11)

When we fall away from the nourishment in the Word, we
too become malnutritioned and face temptation and the
contempt of sinning. This is why Paul warns us that no man
should be fooled into thinking that he is above being
tempted, even when you are strong in the Word. It’s just
human nature to be tempted by sin. This is not a sin in itself,
it’s only a sin when we give into the temptation. As a
Christian the best defense to this is to know ahead of time
how it will be handled.

Adam and Eve established man’s sinful nature and as a
result we all have it. (Gen. 4) God spoke to Cain after his
irreverential offering. Imagine, having God Himself speak to
you about your behavior and you act like a spoiled child and
tell Him to “talk to the hand”!!! This is disobedience in the
biggest way. Cain disregarded God’s worthiness by giving
Him only what he felt like giving Him and not offering Him
the best of what he had. We are selfish like that today in
giving God what is left over. But since God is ruler over all,
He demands that we give Him our firstfruits, the best of us,
the best of whatever we have, it all belongs to Him. We
wouldn’t have any of it it weren’t for Him anyway. But we are
a selfish breed of people.

Abel on the other hand honored God with his firstfruits. He
made atonement for his sins by giving God the best with a
right heart. God doesn’t care about the amount, he looks at
the motive in which we give, He looks at our hearts. God
was pleased with Abel’s offering, but Cain’s on the other
hand was an insult to Him. God came down and told him
face to face that he had a choice to either do good or to give
into the sin that would always be crouching at the door. God
knew that after Adam and Eve’s temptation, we would all be
facing the same temptations but we have a choice to either
open the door and let it in, or keep it locked and walk away.
Temptation must be mastered.

God said He would give us the strength to master it if we so
choose. He will give us the strength to make the right
decision because He promises to never leave us nor
foresake us. This is wonderful news, but Cain chose not to
heed the good news. Just like a spoiled child, he probably
sat there with his arms crossed in disrespect. And we
wonder where our children get this attitude today? Cain’s
bad attitude was a sin of self-righteousness, pride and no
regard for God’s advice. Instead he deliberately turned
around and murdered his brother out of his emotions.
These emotions of anger, rage, and jealousy are all carnal
which lead to an inevitable death. His heart was corrupted
with sin, therefore commiting a contemptable act of murder.
He broke the first law of “Thou Shalt Not Kill”, which God
later made into one of the 10 Commandments for us to
follow today. As a result of his disobedience, God cursed
him with spiritual and eternal death, because Cain never
atoned for his sin. In other words, he reaped just what he
sowed.

1 Jn. 3:12 tells us not to be like Cain who took his nature
and motivation from the evil one. His motives were wicked
and malicious while his brother’s were righteous.

Jude 1:11 says, “Woe” to those who run riotously in the way
of Cain. He abandoned himself for the sake of his own gain.

There is no way around God, we cannot continue to be
stubborn and think that He won’t deal with us. It’s time we
wake up and realize that we are “not all that and a bag of
chips.” We do have a choice, God gave us that freedom, but
the consequences are also ours to bear. We can either
resist the temptation or not. What’s important is not to be
fooled into thinking that we can do it on our own. No one can
withstand the temptation of sin without God’s help. He
promises to be faithful to His Word and His compassionate
nature. He is very patient with us. We can turn around at any
time no matter what we’ve done if we confess our sins and
admit that we can not do this without Him by accepting His
one and only Son Jesus Christ as our intercessor. Don’t let
the enemy lie to you by thinking you are not worthy. The truth
is, no one is worthy. That is the price that Jesus paid for
when He hung on the cross and took all our sins as a
ransom for our lives. He was the only One worthy because
He Himself was without sin.

Once you are saved by grace, God will give you the strength
and patience to bear up under the pressures of the outside
world, which is carnal. However, He doesn’t promise it to be
an easy journey, there will be struggles and many trials, but
He will equip us with the knowledge to fight it. When we say,
“The devil made me do it” is only self deception. Even the
devil can’t make us do the wrong thing, he’s not that
powerful. We give him too much credit. Everything is a free
will choice, don’t ever assume otherwise or blame anyone
or anything else for your responsibility.

Just how are we suppose to do the right thing? It’s simple,
we are to get rooted and grounded in God’s Word. He has a
whole book of instructions. Just like the Israelites who were
fed on the “Rock”, it’s still the same “Rock” today. We are to
feast on the Bread of Life, which is Christ. He is also the
“Living Water”. When we eat and drink this, we will never go
hungry or thirsty again. We are guaranteed a place in the
Lamb’s Book of Life. Is your name written in it?

To merely read the Bible is not sufficient, you must
understand it or it will not fulfill your hunger. God’s Word
must feed us spiritually so that it will create in us a new way
of living. The battlefield is in our minds and our minds are
what guide us and tell us what to do. As a man thinketh, so
he is. What kind of thoughts are running through your head
today? Consequently if we have wrong motives then we are
obviously being starved to death, literally. Ask yourself if you
are spiritually fed or do you still hunger for more?

Remember when Paul said that the wages of sin is death?
The choice is up to you. Do you long for eternity in heaven or
hell? Choose one because they are both real.

If you’re not sure of your salvation, get honest with God today
and ask Him to forgive your sins, even the ones you are not
aware of. He knows your heart and will reveal them to you.
Take Jesus as your Lord and Savior and tell Him you can’t
do this on your own. If this confession is from a pure heart,
God will honor your request and you will soon start seeing a
difference in your life. It’s amazing how free you will be once
you realize that you now have an eternal life in heaven and
will inherit all that God has for you.

The person who is too busy to have a daily Bible study is too busy. God did not intend for man to live life at a frantic pace. The Scriptures teach us to “Be still and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10). When we always work and never rest we experience a subtle form of self-destruction. Our soul loses touch with God. We no longer sense God’s presence. The solution for this condition is to slow down, focus on God and listen for His voice. Being alone with God enables us to breathe the air of eternity. When we set our hearts on things above, we see another world; we see Jesus standing at the right hand of God (Acts 7:55). Consider how Moses, David, Daniel and Jesus demonstrated the importance of taking time to re-orient their life around God and not themselves.

Exodus 33:7-11 Moses set up a “tent of meeting” outside the camp, some distance away. Anyone inquiring of the Lord could go to the tent of meeting. As Moses went into the tent the pillar of cloud would come down and stay at the entrance. The Lord would speak to Moses face to face, as a man would speak with a friend.

Psalm 119:164 Seven times a day I praise you for your righteous laws.

Daniel 6:10 Three times a day he got down on his knees and prayed, giving thanks to his God, just as he had done before.

Mark 1:35 Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and when off to a solitary place, where he prayed.

Gordon MacDonald tells a story from African colonial history: In the deep jungles of Africa, a traveler was making a long journey. Natives had been engaged from tribe to tribe to carry the loads. The first day they marched rapidly and went far. The traveler had high hopes of a speedy journey. But the second morning these jungle tribesmen refused to move. On inquiry as to the reason for this strange behavior, the traveler was informed that they had gone too fast the first day and they were now waiting for their souls to catch up with their bodies.

Do you have a “tent of meeting” where you spend time alone with God? For many years my “tent of meeting” has been a near-by restaurant. Early every morning I hold an appointment with God himself. When I was first learning the practice of daily Bible study, I would write TAG (Time alone with God) in my calendar. Once scheduled, it becomes an appointment I keep.

How about you? Perhaps it’s time to make an appointment with God for a daily Bible study so your soul can catch up with your body.

One of my angel teachers, Susan, is a heavy goods vehicle driver. She had a new lorry and was on a run abroad where there had been many break-ins. Her husband suggested she find another job but her response was that she was perfectly safe as she called in the Silver Violet Flame to surround her lorry. Soon after the conversation she took a photo of the vehicle and there all round it is a cloud of silver violet light.

So why did she feel so safe when her lorry was held in the light of the Silver Violet Flame?

History of the Gold and Silver Violet Flame

The Gold and Silver Violet Flame is one of the most powerful healing and transformational tools that we have been given. It is a divine gift and blessing and each time another ray is added it becomes more refined and gracious.

In Golden Atlantis the Violet Flame was one of the powers that people could access because of its ability to transmute negativity, especially in relationships. So whenever a disagreement of any sort took place the people involved invoked the Violet Flame and all the negativity was dissolved. As Atlantis devolved, the Violet Flame was misused, so it was withdrawn. Only a few esoteric groups retained the understanding of it. One was Elizabeth Clare Prophet who wrote her lovely little book Violet Flame to Heal Body, Mind and Soul to keep the knowledge of it alive.

The Violet Flame of Transmutation

In 1987 the Earth started a twenty five year period of purification in preparation for 2012. In August of that year at the Harmonic Convergence so many light workers prayed for help for our planet that St Germain petitioned Source for the return of the Violet Flame for use by the whole of humanity.

The Silver Ray of Grace and Harmony

In 1988 the Silver Ray of Grace and Harmony merged with the Violet Flame. When this is invoked negative energy is transmuted, then replaced with something beautiful and harmonious.

The Gold and Silver Violet Flame

In the last year we have been offered the ultimate blessing, the merging of the fifth dimensional Gold Ray of Wisdom with the Silver Violet Flame. Wherever you focus the Gold Silver and Violet Flame, it transmutes the old, harmonizes it, then raises the situation, place or relationship to the fifth dimension and holds it there.

How you can invoke it?

You can invoke the Gold and Silver Violet Flame by calling it in aloud or mentally or you can visualize it, imagine or sense it surrounding the place, person or situation in question.

What you can use it for?

You can visualize it burning up negativity in part of your body or send it to someone who is sick. You can send it to dissolve anything that is holding you or a friend back. Where there is disharmony in relationships or between cultures, invoke its transmuting, healing power. Ask it to blaze a trail in front of you purifying and harmonizing your pathway. Use it to transmute your own or other people’s anger, fear or negativity. Send it to clear the energy of war and disruption. Picture it blazing wherever there is need of cleansing.

Archangel Zadkiel

Archangel Zadkiel works with St Germain as guardian of the Violet Flame. With Archangel Mariel he looks after your Soul Star chakra, which is about eighteen centimeters above your crown and opens as you expand your consciousness. Visualizing the Gold and Silver Violet Flame within your Soul Star will accelerate your ascension.
cloud law

Many people, from business experts to philosophers, from number crunchers to mystics, have actually believed in and spoken about the Law of Attraction for centuries. If you are spiritual, you don’t have to go very far to the great religious texts of the world, to find it written about. If you are a concrete realist, you don’t have to go very far to find it alluded to often in the great speeches and biographies of those who have “made it” in capitalistic world. Proctor writes that the inspiration for this current book and film come from a “simple little book written in 1910…called the “Science of Getting Rich” by Wallace D. Wattles.” Wallace points out that while we function with what he calls “the competitive mind” (and who in business doesn’t), we must “learn to harness our creative mind.” Again, he affirms the idea – scientifically as well as philosophically – that the Universe is made up of energy. Our very thoughts are energy…and as we ‘put out’ in thought, so do we ‘attract back’.

You have only to think of the people in your life who seem to live under a perpetual cloud. Yes, bad things happen to good people. However, it is up to us individually to go through the bad things, and come out on the other side. It is when we stop and allow the bad stuff to take control of our outlook, of our thoughts, that we literally hand over our energy to the Universe to keep us stalled in one place. And so, the black cloud stays put – right over our personal heads. Proctor paraphrasing Wallace puts it more succinctly, “All that you include in your mental image will come to you through the physical realm – through the process of natural ways such as trade and commerce.” Think of all those stories of men and women who manage to rise up against unspeakable, and often, horrible, odds. Millions of immigrants who have gone on to become successful business owners, and millions of no-bodies who have become household names, made it because they did not, would not, let go of what could be.

Did that mean that they didn’t encounter obstacles? No. Did that mean they didn’t get discourage, frustrated, and even sad? No. It means that their vision/dream of what they wanted to be and create was stronger then ANYTHING that could keep them ‘down’ and mentally, spiritually, and physically stuck in one place! The hardest job you and I will ever have is to get out of our own way – mentally. The time is now to affirm the logic of thoughts as real energy; the time is now to accept that our thoughts cannot only change our perceptions, but physically change where we are as glorious creatures meant to have and live an abundant life!

This is known as the law of polarity.

For every north, there is a south. For every outside, there is an inside, for every crisis, there is an opportunity and for every heads, there is a tails. For every concave, there is a convex.

For everything that comes to an end, something new begins.

The meaning we choose to attach to an experience is the meaning we create. When we interpret an experience as negative or bad, we will get into a miserable state, take lousy actions (even inaction is a form of lousy action) and produce negative results.

At the same time, when we interpret an experience as positive, we get into resourceful states, take positive action, and eventually create positive results.

This can be summarized in a formula that goes Event + Response = Outcome. This wonderful formula is given by Jack Canfield (Co-author of Chicken Soup for the Soul).

Many people believe that it is the events around us that shape our outcomes. They believe that people who are happier and more successful just happen to experience better events in their lives?

You and I both know that this is totally untrue. It is not the things that happen to us, but rather how we choose to respond to happenings and external circumstances that ultimately shape our outcomes.

As you well know, we cannot control every single thing that happens to us, but we can control how we choose to respond to it.

For example, if you go sailing, you cannot control where the wind is going to blow. You can complain and blame the wind all you want but it is not going to be of any use.

However, you can control how you maneuver the sails, and that will control the outcome of your boat’s direction.

We have heard so many stories of people who were born with all kinds of handicaps and despite all the odds stacked against them, they managed to create a life most others can only dream about.

What we must understand is that all meaning is context dependant. In other words, there is no meaning in life except the meaning we choose to give it.

When we look at things (an experience, an incident, an event) from one perspective, it may seem totally bad. However, when we change the way we look at the same thing, i.e. from a different context, the meaning completely changes.

It could become totally powerful for you.

You can also see that any experience in life carries with it multiple meanings. Anything is life has the potential to be either good/positive or bad/negative.

It depends on your perspective, the frame in which you are seeing it from.

People who succeed and live fulfilling and enriching lives don’t experience better events, they just re-present things and respond in a much more powerful way.

When you can’t get out of debt, the world seems like a cloud is following you each and every day. It’s hard to focus, and you can’t seem to find a way out. To get out of debt, you probably think that procrastination is your problem. You go about trying to kill the procrastination by forcing yourself to do things that you find dreadful or don’t have the skills to do.

If you want to get out of debt, start identifying the activities you do that keep you in debt. The things that make you procrastinate from paying off the debt. Do you continue to work at a job that you despise? Do you keep going out to dinner because you don’t like to cook? Do you feel a sense of entitlement to buying things because you deserve it?

These are all things that won’t help you get out of debt. They are the causes of procrastination. If you have a job that you don’t like, start looking for one that you do. I had a friend that had a marriage that was on the rocks, and they were unsuccessful in life. He had come to a crossroads that required him to make the decision between taking a high paying job at an office or taking a job that didn’t pay as well doing graphic design with a small company.

He really wanted the job that didn’t pay as well, but he didn’t see how it would help his family. I asked him, “Where do you see yourself a year from now if you take the high paying job?” He told me that he thought he would probably be divorced, working overtime, and depressed. “What if you took the job that doesn’t pay as well,” I asked. He told me that he would be happy and may even be able to increase his knowledge base and get a raise doing something that he loved.

That’s your answer: do what you love. When you do what you love, you don’t procrastinate. Have you ever gotten a splinter and tried to get rid of it? Did curing the splinter prevent this from happening again? No. Maybe you have a deck banister that needs sanding. Your body will reject the splinter, but it won’t sand the deck for you if you don’t want to. You might need to ask for some help or hire someone. Regardless, it wasn’t the splinter that caused the problem.

Procrastination isn’t the reason you can’t get out of debt. It’s the result. You can’t get out of debt because you are attempting to do something that you don’t love. Your mind’s psychic immune system is called procrastination.

When you start setting monthly goals that only include doing things you love, you start to get out of debt. Once you do this for some time, you’ll accumulate four or five things that will make you feel good about yourself. You’ll start to notice that your life is filled with blessings instead of debt.

Looking for law of attraction tips?

Well that’s a darn good thing to be looking for. It’s amazing how great it is when you find out how to create abundance in your life and how to actually utilize the laws of the universe. This is stuff they should teach in school.

I was just like you not too long ago. I was having one of those lives ya know? You know the type where it feels like the universe is actually out to get you instead of being on your side.

It felt like there was a black cloud flying over my head. Very disturbing, but I knew that there had to be a way to make it better. I kept hearing about things like “The Secret” and stuff and knew that this must be something that I needed.

I knew that I must have been doing something that was making the universe act against me, and I wanted to turn it around.

I started looking for law of attraction tips like mad. I watched “The Secret” and all sorts of stuff, but nothing much really transpired of it.

But I realized something that I was doing severely wrong. It’s actually a pretty common mistake and you may be making it too.

You see, when I was trying to attract things like an abundance of wealth and friendship I was focusing on how I didn’t want the opposite. In other words instead of saying “I want to have my bank account full of money” I would think about how I hated having an empty bank account and how I didn’t want that anymore.

It was really backwards, and it was hard to make that transition. What I was actually doing, by focusing on what I didn’t want was bring more of that stuff.

But that’s not all. Things started turning around even more so when I began to focus on very specific things that I wanted. When I went from focusing on general things like more money, to focusing on exact amounts, suddenly those amounts began to appear.

When I focused on the exact sort of people that I wanted to meet and have in my life, I began to have THOSE people appear, rather than just having “friends”. Believe me, friends is a very loose term, and you realize that when you start attracting them into your life, and realizing what you really wanted.

So if you can use those two law of attraction tips to create more abundance in your life then you’ll start to notice a big change.
