What if learning LOA and using it IS our soul guiding us? After all those masterful at LOA are in alignment with Source, because that is what makes LOA work! Isn’t our soul expressing itself through manifestation of our inner world?

I’d point out that desires of the ego don’t often manifest and why some people struggle and others don’t. Money or other physical things are just different forms of energy and so it depends on our perception whether or not these things are related to egoic desires, or soulful desires. To top that off, it is well known (to LOA players) that we go to the source of our desire, not how it comes to us. We target the essence of the desire not the actual physical form. Which brings me back to the fact that it can’t be ego if it is in its purest form. It is a desire from our soul.

(That’s not to say that we don’t get lost along the way and forget our true nature!! It is the fun of reawakening to our spirit and realizing our true potential and power.)

I just thought I’d bring your statements full circle if I could… considering you remain undecided. I’m just offering more to consider.

thanks for the thought-food!!

Yes, it does work. But just because it works doesn’t mean it is in our highest good to use it. (She personally believes it is black magic. I remain undecided.)

She says this life is not about magnetizing resources to us to satisfy the desires of our ego/personality, but rather about coming into alignment with Source/God/Spirit and doing a lot of healing, asking for our soul to navigate and guide us. Allowing the soul to express itself through us. It is not about “creating” the life we think we want, but rather simply “remembering” the angels that we are.

Food for thought…

Abraham also says something I´ve just heard and that resonates, which is line up with your decision, whatever it is. So first decide you want to chase the dog away from the birds – because you are in alignment with birds flying around your house or some other joyful reason – (to use your example Jeanette and then line up with your decision to do it…You may want to query yourself: why am I really creating this? Out of love and joy of what I want..or to avoid the pain of what I don´t want? Always a good question to ask!

Hmmm… I think I¨ll be asking myself that more often. Thanks for the thought-provoking article!

hugs,

(I just picked up one of his other books at Costco – the stepsister/Cinderella one.)

Sounds like you’re getting LOTS of reinforcing signs, Kristy!! Ever since I read this post of yours, I’ve been seeing witches EVERYWHERE. It’s seriously ridiculous, even though it IS nearing Halloween time. lol

Here’s to more Good Magic! woo hoo!

One thing that caught me off guard was that he said that one of his inpirations for how Elphaba looked was Laura Nyro.. my heart stopped because the only time I had ever heard that name was from a teacher who always told me how much I looked like her and called me Laura Nyro! It was surreal.. and he said he loved her ‘long dark hair’ for Elphaba (something I always get complimented on)

It was a kind of night my soul needed… and when I went home, I got an e-mail from a friend of a friend who said he can do my headshots really cheap (we kept going back and forth with whether he could do it or not and I wasn’t getting a direct answer) and an e-mail from my elementary school/middle school BFF (who I havent seen in about 8 years) that she is coming to the city with her BF and wants a reunion/shopping day… crazy!
.. not to mention that photo is of a Wicked witch on the main article

.. all about the ‘magic’ now.. good magic

You’re right – this IS fun!

So El, what you discuss from the book with archetype energies reminds me of my experience working with animal totems/animal energies. Each animal has a particular gift and power, so you can call apon that to assist you. I find myself aligned with nature and the natural rhythms of the earth. I will have animals come to me in dreams to teach me things. It is subtle energy but so powerful. I love it because animals and nature have a way of respecting each other. Most animals eat only what they need too, and defend only what they need to for survival… they co-habitate in the wild better than we humans do, that’s for sure- or so it seems. I guess it depends on perspective. Right?!

Thanks for all the sharing! This is fun!!

PS. my husband is an aries and he has a ram tattoo on his shoulder and the funny connection is he loves playing this game called God of War. I always tell him in a past life he was a warrior. It runs so deep. Anyhow, I found this connection to your post interesting!!

Which I probably needed because archetypes might be language that could have turned me off, since I never really embraced Carolyn Myss’ .. what book was it about the archetypes? Just never got me.

But I know I’ll have a different experience now with Deepak’s book. Thanks for posting, El!

Shunsuke’s comment about Gods reminded me of something I just read. I am currently reading “The Spontaneous Fulfillment of Desire” by Deepak Chopra. I have a link to the “look inside the book” page at Amazon on my main page if anyone wants to browse it. AWESOME book! The first half is user friendly explanations of quantum physics and the second half is an explanation of spiritual paths and how to get from point A to point B and so on.

ANYWAY, Deepak gets to talking about archetypes. The subject of archetypes is something I always thought kinda silly. It’s very common in the craft to call upon an archetype to assist you in casting spells and creating. I’ve never assosciated myself with an archetype just because I felt silly calling on help from an imaginary entity.

So Deepak gets to talking about archetypes and he says that all archetypes represent qualities that we as humans are supposed to possess. That if you need help in a specific area, you should call on and invite the archetype who specializes in that area to help you. That what you’re really calling upon is that specific energy. Also, if you find you want to embody an archetype’s energy more, you should meditate in the morning and invite said archetype to work with and through you.

Back to Shunsuke. It sounds to me like a Japanese version of asking specific archetypes to assist you in your chosen creation. I think it’s down right ASTOUNDING how many specifics of different religions are exactly the same, and yet they all point fingers at eachother and talk about who’s wrong. The root of every religion is to love your brothers and sisters…. but that’s the one thing that most ignor.

Christians call on Jesus for assistance. Buddhist call on the Buddha. Muslums call on Mohamad etc… I’ve decided to embrace archetypes and allow that energy to assist me in my ventures. I feel like I found this book on purpose because I’m needing what it contains, so I’mma go with the flow baby! Funny too… I’ve always felt attached to the fact that I’m an “Aries”. I’ve even consitered a small ram tattoo in the past. Mars rules Aries. God of war. I’m not one for war, but I’ve always been a warrior. Stubborn to the end. I love creating waves in conventional thinking. OOOoo maybe I’m learning about archetypes now because I’ve embraced Aries so much, I need to embrace new archetypes to better find balance. HMmm
Ok.. shuttin up again!
