Attraction can be frustrating. You struggle to bring into your life your desires, and nothing much happens. Your days are filled with deprivation, not abundance. You lack love. You go without friendship. You miss intimacy. You wallow in debt. You put in hard labor that goes unappreciated.
The list of what you don’t have and don’t want seems endless. So how do you turn this around? Do you rail at “the system”? Do you blame nameless “elites” and believe yourself a victim of forces beyond your control?
Since you are reading this book, you already at least suspect that you play a central role in creating the reality you live every day. You are fairly sure it’s up to you to attract an abundant life filled with love, friendship, financial security, and whatever else you desire.
But here’s the rub. You are not certain of how to go about attracting/manifesting all of the aforesaid. You want to understand the mechanics behind attraction and, especially, what blocks or hampers the process. You want to remove or at least lessen those obstacles, but don’t know what they are or how to find them. That is what this chapter discusses.
Redefining energy and consciousness
The ability to attract arises out of consciousness. Consciousness is a field of energy that surrounds your physical body, which is also energy in a material form. This energy field is your essence, and exists regardless of whether or not it is attached to a physical body. This energy field imbues you with self-awareness, personality, thoughts, feelings, and beliefs, and connects you to Source/God/Goddess/Universal Mind/All That Is. (Pick your preferred label.) Some people refer to consciousness as the soul.
Soul-consciousness is a unique energy, however. It is not energy as defined by science. The scientific definition of energy is the ability to do work. The heat from burning coal transforms water to steam to drive a piston that pushes a locomotive down a track. That is the ability to do work. Science provides a material understanding of energy that is too limited to explain attraction.
A more useful, spiritual definition of energy defines it as the ability to love. Defining and understanding energy this way immediately shows how it relates to the divine, to soul-consciousness, and to attraction. Love, after all, is attractive and attracting. People yearn for love. They are drawn to it and want to attract it into their lives.
And the divine/God/Goddess are words that describe the ability to love unconditionally, meaning without any limits of any kind. Unconditional love is the most powerful, most expansive, most all-encompassing love possible yet also the gentlest. It makes no demands, sets no standards, imposes no expectations, which is why it is unlimited. Few people do not long to feel loved unconditionally.
