Your World

I invite you to join us in unlocking the secret code of the law of attraction in action.

Synchronicities

Here we are at lunch, at an Indian restaurant in downtown Helsinki, on a brilliant new summer’s day sitting with my good friend, a public relations manager for a well known company, and we are talking about burn out.

“It was amazing. We had lunch and were chatting just like this and the next day I heard he was in hospital having collapsed from burn out. He seemed totally himself. No signs of stress.”

Our good friends eyes widen “Amazing! Only this morning I heard a similar story. My friend works in an office and suddenly one of her associates climbs up on the window ledge wanting to throw herself out. It was though a switch was suddenly turned. And I’m hearing stories like this almost every week now.” She face was a mixture of amazement and deep concern.

Beside me on the table is a book I had an hour earlier purchased by chance. I had gone into the bookshop and what first caught my eye at the far end was a set of CDs titled The Law Of Attraction. I picked them up and read the back cover and said to myself “Interesting. CDs. No, not for me. When would I get time to listen to CDs?”, and there were four of them.

Then I spoke to the shop assistant to see if she could search her phone book to find the hospital my friend was in. She found the address and kindly located the hospital on a map and then turning to go I thought “I must have a quick look to see if there is a book for me.” And there it was right in front of me. The very book the CDs were about with the same name as the CD’s.
“Twice. Can’t be an accident.” So I purchased The Law Of Attraction.

She asks about the book. What can I say, I hadn’t even opened it. Handing it to her, I said “Just open it up wherever you like and read the first words that meet your eye.” She hesitates for a split second. Opens it and, where her eyes fell, she reads to us “The world’s hospitals are full of people suffering from dysfunctional thinking…”

Her mouth drops open and she leans back, bolt upright in her chair. “Oh no! The hairs on my arms are standing on end. I have goose bumps all over! How can that be?” She places the book on the table all the while gazing at us wide-eyed searching our faces for an answer.

Some Clues

As we walk back to her office, we reflect on the possibilities. An accident perhaps? The chances were too remote. “There must be some principle at work. A law. What is it?” We say goodbye and go to the park to sit in the sun on a bench and see if we can unravel the code of how the law works.

On the back of your parking ticket we write what we believe could be keys to the code:

• Something that fills our mind. In our case, burn out.
• Something that we are emotionally charged about. Our friend was obviously concerned about stories she was hearing of people suddenly suffering from burn out.
• An action. Opening the book was her action.

Thought and emotion in action attracts what is in keeping with the thought and the emotion.

“Did she create the outcome?” you ask.

“Yes and no. The book was there. The words she read were already written. Did she simply connect her inner reality of her thoughts and emotion to the outer reality that was there?”

“Like two worlds colliding.”

“Yes. But what are these two worlds?”

“Is one world what we think and feel and the other world just an infinite world of possibilities, some already in form and some that have the potential to take form?”

“Seems like it. But what are we then? Are we, you and me, just a world of infinite possibilities? Is that who we are?”

We both fall into silence reflecting on the enormity of the idea.

You speak first. “Perhaps there are not two worlds at all. Could it be that it is all just one world with our ‘inner world world’ of thought and emotion just being an integral part of our so-called outer world?”

“No separation you mean? All the one stuff?”

“Yes.”

“But you are not me and we are not her.”

“At a sensory level you are right. She’s in her office and we are enjoying the sun.”

“But I think that maybe a very small part, a kind of an illusion if you like, of a far bigger reality that its all one. Us, her, the friend in hospital, the book, what she read out. It’s all connected. Maybe each is just a part of a whole unified field of possible and emerging reality?”

We sit in silence, I don’t know how long, and look out across the park.

“We are onto something”, you say as we get up.

“We can’t stop now. We have to keep searching. Got to find out how this whole thing really works. Not just what’s on the surface, but the really deep stuff behind what we see and touch.”

“Yes, this is really important. It’s life important!”

“Let’s talk soon.”
