Let HAL, a non-physical being, explain  how Spirit created and evolved the universe.

The Law of Attraction and Magic

Many people attempt to apply the Law of Attraction, fail, and become discouraged. They wonder whether this universal principle is just a scam! Failure at applying LOA stems from some fundamental misunderstandings.

For example, when people first encounter LOA, they think it’s magic.

“All I have to do is think a bunch of thoughts and I can have what I want!”

Well, that does not usually work, does it?

The magical component of LOA is the invisible, subtle energy component. Thought is invisible to the human senses, and so are the thoughts that interact with each other vibrationally. When your thoughts match with others, there is an alignment and a coming together; a meeting of the minds, as it were. If these thought forms are powerful enough, and if there is enough openness and reception, there is an impingement upon the conscious awareness of the beings involved. This is how coincidences and happy accidents occur.

What happens if you want a Porsche but don’t have the money for it? We have talked about this before. What if you could think some thoughts and have a Porsche appear before you? Well, do you understand electronic fuel injection? Do you know about camshafts and carburetors? Do you comprehend differentials? Do you know what materials go into tires? Do you know about Bezier curves? All of these and a thousand others go into the making of a Porsche. If you are ignorant of these things, then the magic Porsche you conjure from your thoughts will look like a child’s scribble. That is why teachers always tell you to have an EXACT idea of what you want! Garbage out, garbage in!

Fortunately, someone has already figured out how to make a Porsche. But your degree of alignment to “Porsche” determines whether or not you can have one. The fellow who wants a Porsche, but doesn’t have one, is usually more aligned to a used Pinto! The gal who owns a Rolls and wants a Porsche is more aligned to a Porsche!

“No, stupid, the gal who has a Rolls is more aligned to MONEY.” Well of course she is! But if you ask yourself, “What is a Porsche vibrationally?” the answer for almost everyone is, “the cost of a Porsche.” That’s because you aren’t knowledgeable enough about Porsche’s to be able to build one from scratch. But I promise you that if you WERE that knowledgeable about Porsche’s, you would most likely already have one! This is a practical example of what vibrational alignment IS.

Vibrational alignment is not “I want a Porsche,” for here you are at Pole A looking over at Pole B. But that’s where almost everybody who applies LOA is at. Vibrational alignment is when you ARE already at Pole B, the Porsche. This does NOT mean that you have to already have a Porsche in order to be vibrationally aligned with a Porsche. But it DOES mean that you first have to BE somebody with a Porsche before you can HAVE one!

“Oh for goodness sake,” you say, “That is total crap. I’ve heard so much of that garbage that I’m sick of it. The Law of Attraction is just a marketing gimmick. If you want a Porsche, you better get two more jobs, and save your money.”

Well, that is definitely one way to align with a Porsche! But it’s a long, hard road, that.

If you were serious about Porsche’s and didn’t have any money, you probably would already have pictures of them on your wall, or in your scrap book. You probably would have already studied up on automobiles and know a lot about them. You probably would have some Porsche magazines lying around. The degree of your alignment with anything is determined by how you feel about it. If you ask the guy who has lots of Porsche posters about Porsche’s, he might tell you “Yeah I really love Porsche’s, but they’re way too expensive for me. But I sure like to look at them!”

The guy who was more aligned to Porsche’s might be in a Porsche car group. Or, he might be working at a Porsche dealer. The more vibrationally aligned a person becomes with Porsche’s, the physically closer he gets to them. A mental image is as far as some people get. Closer still is a poster or a magazine. Closer still is someone in the car group who goes to a Porsche auto show. Closer still is the guy who works at the dealer and may be able to take one out for a spin. Closer still is the gal who MAKES UP HER MIND to ACTUALLY GET A PORSCHE FOR HER OWN, and begins to devise ways of doing that.

Vibrational alignment generates inspiration. If you aren’t inspired, you probably aren’t aligned.

The great thing about LOA is that it will help you. The stronger is your desire and intent, the more inspired you get, and the more windows of opportunity open for you. The more happy accidents occur in your life.

(Dead–heads and nay–sayers will say, “If you believe in LOA you are just delusional.” These are people who have already given up on their dreams, and want company in their muck. Don’t listen to them!)

The gal with lots of money may want a Porsche, but decides she doesn’t have to have one. Has that ever happened to you? If you know you want something and can get it at any time, you often don’t even feel the need to have it! That is vibrational alignment: a complete knowing that you and it are one and the same, even though there is not physical possession.  That’s why people make scrap books and diaries and mind – movies: to make the thing so real that they become it.

A psychological study demonstrated this several years ago . A bunch of people were put into cubicles with loud music, and were asked to do math problems. Half of the people had  buttons on their desks that could shut off the music, and half didn’t. Those who had the buttons often didn’t use them, because they knew they could at any time. “Well that’s no good,” you say, “Because the physical representation is already present.” Yes, but the point is that if you desire something, you DON’T have it and you want to get it. The way you GET it is through vibrational alignment. KNOWING, or CERTAINTY, is vibrational alignment. To the universe, “I have it” is the same vibration, whether you have manifested anything or not! The greater is your knowing, the stronger is your signal and the more you rendezvous with the people and resources you need. 

When talking about LOA, the question is, “How aligned are you with what you want?”

Are you the guy with a mental image? Or the gal with a firm intention, and a plan? That lady has an image, knows what she wants, and has made up her mind. And LOA will work with her. That’s how it has always been and always will be, folks. LOA has always been in operation, since Day One. It’s just that the vibration of humanity is finally rising high enough to become aware of it. More and more people are asking and believing in themselves and in the manifestation of their dreams. And that process is raising the vibration of humanity, and the planet. That’s what vibrational alignment is all about. That’s what the Law of Attraction is all about.

You just have to get beyond the stupid idea that because what you want has not yet manifested, that your certainty is somehow delusional. The universe doesn’t operate that way. The universe requires you to be certain BEFORE the manifestation. Being comes before doing and having.

For example, I was having trouble designing a web page one day. Suddenly, at dinner, I figured it out. I knew I could go in at any time and write the code, and it was such a good feeling that I savored it for a couple of hours. I went for a walk, then read a book. Vibrational alignment yields a feeling of certainty! Ask yourself this: Can you be certain of something, even if you don’t yet have it? Do you enjoy the creative process? Can you still feel good about what you are doing and where you are going, even if you can’t see every step along the way? Joy comes from creating your own personal path towards the goal.

What you want materializes to the degree that your thoughts have evolved toward the vibration of it. That evolution of thought is called the creative process, and usually requires getting your hands dirty. But that’s the fun of LOA! People who fail at LOA often want a magic bullet. They’re looking for “instant abundance.” Somebody forgot to tell them that the fun is in the getting!

In this article, Ken explores the relatioinship between honesty and duplicity. These opposites are actually connected by the design of the universe itself, and have a great deal to do with politics, and the actions of people in every day life.

Honesty vs Duplicity

What is the difference between integrity and duplicity?

The difference is that one is open and confident, the other requires secrecy and results in insecurity. Before one decides to abandon integrity there is already a pulling away from trenchant and correct observation. Secrecy requires a veil of obscurity.

For example, an honest business person keeps a set of books that describe the activities of the business. An honest person would never think of keeping two sets of books, because he or she wants an accurate representation of his business.

A criminal, on the other hand, keeps two duplicate sets of books. One to show the tax man and the auditor and the stockholders, the other he hides. He must hide the second set, because behind the veil of secrecy he is engaging in illegal activities, or cheating his customers or stockholders in some way.

Secrecy always results in a lowering of intelligence. This is because secrecy obscures truth.

Double–dealing is perfect word for such a fellow, for his stock in trade is confusion and obfuscation. This occurs through unnecessary duplication.

Geometrically speaking, open–ness is the One, and duplicity is the two.

 Funny how that works, is it not, for without two–ness a universe could not exist! A universe by definition must involve polarity, or “double–dealing.” In mitosis, a cell divides, creating a duplicate cell. There is nothing wrong with this, unless the intent is to hide or confuse.
In a cancer, for example, cell division occurs too rapidly, creating too many new cells in a disorganized fashion, killing the organism. Ordered division or duplication is growth, unordered duplication is chaos and illness.

Integrity is strength, for an honest person sees clearly, with open eyes. Duplicity is weakness, for it sullies and pollutes perception, weakening conviction and intention. Intention to harm may be powerful, but it is always misdirected! Thus the seeds of destruction are contained within the criminal.

Lets make a diagram of this:

You   ––––––––––––> A.
  You create some thing –– a business, a product, whatever. You are totally open and transparent. Anyone who looks at A can see that its is A with no hidden agendas. Everything is up front. You are proud of what you have done, and you want everyone to see it.

Shady character Jake the Snake also creates something:

Jake  ––––––––––> A

But Jake has ulterior motives. He’s trying to fool people. For Jake, his business is just a cover for some hidden agenda. Maybe he’s a politician who likes power, and he’s trying to sell his political campaign as something that will “help the people” or “move the nation forward.” Maybe he’s an embezzler who keeps two sets of books. What happens?

There are now TWO creations, not one:  the front, and the hidden:

Hidden Duplicate <––––––––  Jake –––––––> A

Two poles set up an energetic gap. If two things were exactly the same, they would BE the same thing. Therefore, A and Hidden Duplicate are different and there is an energy imbalance, causing a flow between them.

But of course, people look at A and say, “there’s something fishy going on here.” That’s because Jake isn’t open and honest about his business. He’s got two sets of books. People pick up on what he’s trying to hide! You can FEEL the energy moving from A to Hidden Duplicate and back again. it exudes out from Jake’s every pore, no matter how hard he tries to hide it. That fake smile doesn’t fool an honest being! The best crime fighters can pick up on this energy and it will lead them to Jake’s second set of books, and he winds up in jail. If you are paying attention, you can pick up opn this when you listen to politicians, or to anyone for that matter.

 Because Jake is lying, he has to create another lie to support the inauthentic structure he has built. When George Bush lied about WMD’s in Iraq, he had to create another lie: that Saddam was linked to Al–Qaeda. Then when that was exposed ,he created another lie, and another, and another…that’s what happens when you are not open and transparent. Your lies create more and more lies, and more and more energy begins to flow between them. Soon you have a structure that is, like a cancer cell, totally out of control:

This is duplication in the form of duplicity.
When you create something that is open and transparent, however, order  and logic results. This is how the universe itself is built. Healthy cells divide and grow with perfect order. Atoms come together based upon geometric order.

Lying and cover–ups are what Marx and Lenin called the Dialectic:

Thesis–antithesis–synthesis. The Leninist model, however, is built upon duplicity and deception. The thesis is the apparency: A. The hidden agenda is the antithesis, B. This leads inevitably to a synthesis built upon falsehoods, each of which requires the creation of another falsehood:.

In this diagram, each synthesis takes Jake further away from the truth. Chaos and disorder is the inevitable result. Jake begins to feel very uncomfortable, and he can’t figure out why. Because he is trapped in his lies, Jake’s solutions always revolve around his current vibration, and never result in a good solution.

Example: The economy is in a recession. The dollar is weak because so many have been printed and borrowed over the past 50 years. Inflation is rising as a result.

The President announces an “economic stimulus package” and claims that creating more money –– which is what the stimulus package does –– will “benefit the economy.” The President knows that this is a lie. An economic stimulus package creates more money, and will only increase inflation, leading to further economic erosion.

To understand this, pretend you are playing a game of monopoly. The “bank” has only a limited supply of money. Let’s say that it costs $10,000 to buy Park Place and $500 to buy Ventnor Place. The poor players in the game are sick and tired of the rich folks  and their domination. So they convince the Bank to print more money. “If everybody had more money, we’d be better off,” they say. So the Bank doubles the money supply from $50,000 total to $100,000. Now the poor people have enough money to buy Park Place, right? Wrong!!! That’s because Park Place now costs $20,000 instead of $10,000. So no one is better off. In fact, the poor are worse off because their money buys less. Instead of a loaf of bread costing $4, it now costs $8. They don’t make any more money at their job than before, but now everything is twice as expensive.

Richard Nixon imposed wage and price controls in the early 1970’s to stop inflation, but of course that didn’t work, because rising prices aren’t the cause of inflation. Increase in the money supply is the cause of inflation: too much money bidding up the price of products and services. Think about it: if it costs a shopkeeper $3 to buy a loaf of Wonder Bread, she can sell it for $3.25 and make a reasonable profit. But if she has to pay $6 for a loaf of Wonder Bread, she has to raise prices to $6.25.

Is it the fault of the shopkeeper that prices are going up? Is she a greedy price–gouging profiteer? Of course not!

The blame lies with the Congress –– who spend more money every year than the gov’t takes in –– and the Fed, who continually print more money to cover up the politician’s lack of integrity.

Criminality ALWAYS leads to chaos, confusion and disorder. When you ask dishonest people to explain themselves, you get more lies, because the entire structure of their lives is utterly dependent upon more lies to sustain it!
By it’s very nature, duplicity creates illness and pain and economic and political turmoil.

A fine line exists between duplicity and duplication. Both words involve creation, which is essential to the very existence of the universe itself. Both words stem from the Latin duplicare, to double. But the manner of doubling makes all the difference!

Honesty and openness creates transparency and order. People LOVE to look at something and be able to see it for what it is. “I love ACME Corp. Their products are so well–made, and they always deliver on time. And when something goes wrong, I know I can always call up and get my problem handled satisfactorily.”

Privacy is over–rated, folks. Openness is strength. Only someone who truly has nothing to hide can be unafraid. If you are afraid, you are dishonest in some area of your life: most likely, the area in which you experience fear.

If you are ever in doubt about how to act, act honestly and aboveboard.  BE honest and aboveboard. Avoid lies.

As we have seen above, lies and secrecy create an energetic structure that quickly moves out of your control. You WILL be found out!
The more open you are, the stronger you will feel.

That’s why therapy, when it is done correctly, is so beneficial: the unburdening process is just the acknowledging of secrets; bringing them out in the open, for inspection.
That person is truly strong who can allow others into every nook and cranny of his or her life. The most successful people are those who have bared their souls!

When the criminal is confronted by the truth, he or she very often caves. That’s because it requires so much energy and work to keep lies in place. it drains you, makes you weak. Whereas a person who is open and honest knows who he is and what he is doing, and can point proudly to his creations, and his life.

The phrase “crime doesn’t pay” isn’t some moralistic phrase. It’s the absolute truth. Sure, criminals make money. But what good does it do them? The criminal who lies and kills for money is never satisfied. He always wants more, he is always fighting with others to keep his possessions from other crooks who are vibrationally the same as he is. That’s the Law of Vibration and the Law of Attraction at work. Such people have lost themselves in their own lies. Thye are weak.

Things are not always as they seem. We are seeing a great awakening of consciousness in the world today. That which has been hidden is now being exposed. Duplicitous people are finding it more and more difficult to hide their activities behind a veil of secrecy, for that veil is being pierced by the rising consciousnes of humanity.

Fellow spiritual seekers and lightworkers, continue in your excellent work! Underneath the surface, within the species consciousness, is where all the action is. Your personal inner work benefits the whole and is leading to the cretion of a new paradigm of thought on planet earth, and a potential human Renaissance.
