CO screened the law of attraction a couple of weeks ago for all in our unit. I was rather prepared for something more philosophical and introspective when he suddenly announced the movie screening. I mean, through his blog and given that its literally office hours, how ridiculous it is to screen a casual movie unless it is one which has a greater profound meaning and realisation behind it?
Yes, so we sat inside the comfy conference room, and we were introduced to that show. It started off like some advertising gimmick, brandishing confidence in its purported "secret" It appeared far-fetched at first impression, but you know, since its CO's show,it would definitely reveal some substance later on. So my patience was put to the test. But surprisingly, stories unfold and we were later enticed to know what's really the secret. And it was told as the law of attraction. So whats really the law of attraction? As its name implies, its like the workings of a magnet; you attract it, it comes into your life. Ok, i'll stop the narration now. Its time for me to give an insight to my opinion of the law of attraction.
A couple of posts ago, i emphasized that humans are actually rationale creatures, and we play a significant part in formulating our own perception of things. Law of attraction is a tool for this crafting process. As we let our mind wonder, our brain would think of something randomly. It never stops working, just like our heart. The only difference is whether it appears immediately conspicuous to our soul, or whether we pick these vague signals up. When we do so, we are casting an imaginary net to capture that object, (i.e. capture the thought that emanates). Then our mind ruminates over it, churning out a myriad of possibly related happenings and links to it. Through passive reorganisation of these bit-sized details, we piece together the full picture of our jigsaw puzzle, which is a perception. So the law of attraction takes up a primary role in gathering this bit-sized fragments.
For example, when approaching an examination, we involuntarily invite the element of fear into our minds, consciously reminding ourselves that we havent start preparing and would be doomed to fail. When we introduce this fragment into our mind, we are obviously trimming our perception to accomodate this negative element. In fact, law of attraction happens too sub-conscious that many people proclaim to self-despair that they cannot rein in their perceptions. Well, it isnt as easy as i say to just tell yourself to think of optimistic things so that our fragents would be positively connotated and as such our perception is a desirable one. The greatest hurdle of mankind is its ability to acquire complete authority over its emotional factory. We are adept at obtaining things which are tangible, but we it comes to the intangibles, we put up a weak front.
Thus, i believe that there must be a "revamp" or a "reboot" of our human minds at times. Or literally a brainwash, or in the techno sense, a reformatting of our hard disks. Its definitely not back to an original blank slate, but rather giving ourselves a chance at repicking our fragments. This "revamp" i am talking about actually happens by two ways: Passive or Active.
Passive: It happens rarely in humans in my opinion, only for the selected few. These people have extraordinary willpower and conviction. But in tandem with these two qualities they must yet be receptive. Most people do not belong in this category, because although they might have a strong willpower, they are also resistant to changes.
Active: This refers to the environmental factor. The situation and circumstances surrounding us. The force of nature, not its wrath though. The essence of it is a sudden, swift, unexpected change in our environment such that it weightily impacts on us, automating the self-discovery of our perceptive obsoleteness and redundancy. Its like "a knock on our head" to make it simple. But of course chancing upon such circumstances isnt that much frequent either, but it is the predominant stimulus for perpception changes in humans.
Right, i guess i've delved too deeply into the micro aspects of perceptions. For those who dont really understand the above load of rubbish, do not get frustrated and irritated here. Take a deep breath, take it easy. For if u attract such worked-up thoughts, you are likely to get a bad day today.
So now do you understand it? =)
