There are three main pillars that form the law of attraction (LOA) on which the process is based. First is desire, which comes from contrast, as we have discussed in last weeks' HuffPost article -- changing your thinking to view negative life situations as potential opportunities. You naturally ask for things that you have not yet experienced, and you also ask for change when something feels bad or in contrast with your desire.

Seeking Enlightenment

Many people seek enlightenment as if it were a destination to arrive at, a prize or a status to attain. Those people are using spirituality or enlightenment as a form of food for their ego. It is only the ego that seeks the prize, status or the greater destination to arrive at. Why? Because only the ego feels as though there is something missing and it seeks what it feels it lacks in your life circumstances.

The Dalai Lama, when once asked what surprised him most about humanity, answered: Man. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health.

To heal after trauma, you have to create the right environment for healing to occur. This means your mind must be filled with your belief in the healing process and your ability to navigate it.

Why, why, why? Why do you want what you want? Why do you do what you do? Why are you being the person you are? If you want to unlock the answers to some of your questions you must stop and look at those questions and ask them to yourself in relation to all the different areas of your life.

If you can’t be truly honest with yourself expect the answers that you find in life to be reflective of your level of honesty.

I had a lightbulb moment recently: I was feeling stressed about all the stuff I had to do (you probably know the feeling). After this went on for a while, I stepped back and kind of watched my mind, and could see that I was thinking of these various tasks as things, like big rocks that were rolling down a hill toward me and which needed to be handled, lifted, moved, fended off, or broken into pebbles. As soon as I dealt with one thing-y boulder, another one was rolling toward me. Shades of Sisyphus.
