Hi Raymond, thanks a lot!
I see it better now, “the process of acknowledging fear or sadness is to clear them out from our mind and let them go. It’s the process of clearing rather than the process of manifestation.”

Agree with you that it’s the process of clearing, and eventually we must take a step and focus on the good things that we have.

Thanks for spending some time to write this post,
Robert

I would just like to add. Befriend in this context means, to take the example, fear, instead of resisting fear, just make friends with the feeling of fear. The idea is not to react, which is what is meant by resisting. Reaction is a response to a stimulus. If you make friends with the stimulus itself, you will transcend the stimulus.

Yes, this quote is very much in line with the laws of attraction.

You know the guy from the Secret that was finding parking spaces and getting checks in the mail wound up not being such a good guy.

I do believe in the law of attraction. I have evidence of it in my life everyday.

Bad things happening to seemingly good people has become a difficult pill to swallow however. Still working on understanding that aspect completely.

I also believe in the law of attraction…have you read any of the Jerry Hicks books on the learnings of Abraham. Very enlightening, the key is to focus on what you want, not what you dont want.

I’d like to add to the discussion about befriending to transcend. In our lives, we can experience many situations and we label each one as good or bad based on our perceptions/beliefs. With this mindset, we often embrace the ‘good’ but push away the ‘bad’. But if we befriend every situation, we can start to see the value in each. Every situation we face is meant to share something of value to us. And so there never really is a bad or good. It just is.

So “bad things that seemingly happen to good people” is merely one perspective. Often times when we look at a situation, we don’t know all the details. We don’t know what that person was thinking, feeling, focusing on, etc. And from a higher spiritual perspective, we don’t know if a particular person chose that ‘bad’ experience to help the greater whole.

I can understand the confusion around attracting a bad experience, if you believe manifesting is just about positive thinking and focusing on things you want. Because who would choose to focus on bad things, right? But we do all the time and it’s more than just about our thinking. We create based on the energy we put out; we create based on our dominant vibrations. So every thought, every action, every emotion, every belief – conscious and subconscious – becomes part of our energy blueprint. So even if you’re thinking positive about attracting money but you’re worried about your safety, you’re worried about paying your bills, you’re thinking about not having enough money, etc… you can attract circumstances that threaten your safety, you can attract more bills, maybe create an accident or have something break down because all of these things are in vibrational harmony with what you’re putting out there.

So anyway, I hope this helps.

How does one break the addiction to thinking about what he fears? Think about what he wants? I noticed when I started smiling while reading the posts, the fear lifted.
Thank you.

Hi Gregory,
What I do is similar to what Raymond does. Once I’m aware that I’m feeling fear, I will shift my mindset to what’s positive, what’s working in my life. And then I’ll get into the feeling of why it’s all working. Just spending some time here will help shift my focus and lift my energy. I then acknowledge what was creating the fear in the first place and start exploring the possibilities that could resolve the situation. When we get into fear, our mind and energy become very narrowly focused and it feels confining. So by exploring the possibilities of what could happen, it helps open up our mind. It gives us a sense of hope. After this step, I will get in touch with how I want to feel, i.e. peace, centered, etc. And then I will do something to activate this feeling in me. So if I wanted to feel more at peace, I might take a walk outside; I might do some tai chi. These are activities I know help me feel more peace. For you, it may be different. I invite you to try out this process and let me know if you want me to clarify anything.
