Why Learning Law of Attraction is not Victim Blaming, Self-blame, or Truly Insensitive.

So there is a common discourse with detractors of Law of Attraction that the acceptance of this idea is very insensitive, some even call it solipsistic or even narcissistic. When we consider the horde of truly heinous things happening to people all over the world every day from just our physical perspective, this would absolutely seem to be true. Seem is the operative word in that sentence though. It only seems to be insensitive on the surface, but in actuality, it is truly empowering to know that this reality does not define you. You get to define [and create] you. That is the ultimate truth of Law of Attraction, not one of self-blame or of victim blaming.

Law of Attraction is not about self-blame or blame of other, but empowerment and tuning into the flow of the Universe.

If there are really people out there doing heinous or even just hurtful things to others and then proclaiming, “well, you attracted it,” as if they didn’t just do something hurtful, that’s truly distasteful and completely unhelpful. It’s obviously to avoid responsibility. There probably aren’t any true students of this Law that would do something like that. Instead, we understand that we make misaligned choices sometimes, and some of them very much so, and we take responsibility for that. We take responsibility for acting from a place of shame or insecurity and leave it up to the other person to correct their vibration. It isn’t our place to do that, nor is it our place to act negatively towards someone because we notice that they’re vibrating with insecurity or guilt or powerlessness either. A true student understands the underlying principle of Unconditional becoming and how lovely that feels. Therefore, we want to radiate love and compassion on those who aren’t there when we can. Especially when it was something we did.

Now this might be a bit more difficult to understand unless you’ve experienced it. The, “it," in question is the feeling of absolute empowerment and joy when you’re truly in alignment with Source Energy, as well as the experiences of attracting almost perfect reflections of that alignment. Conversely, true students also kind of fundamentally make peace with the perfect reflections we see of the lack of alignment we feel or have been trending on within our thoughts and vibration. When you experience that degree of empowerment and therefore understand you’re creative power, taking responsibility for what you attract negatively doesn’t quite feel like self-blame in the way that most people, who have forgotten that aligned feeling, would feel when taking that same responsibility. We just sort of start to inherently accept that we get what we think about, whether we want it or not, and develop a compassion for ourselves when we are vibrating and attracting negatively. So because it becomes so undeniable, it doesn’t have the same, “blameful,” quality.

Furthermore, the sensitivity to vibration that comes with that alignment sort of makes us much more self-aware of the way that were feeling and therefore vibrating. So the blindspots that those who don’t really experience this alignment have of their own vibration, which is indicated by the emotion they feel, don’t really exist to us. We’re sort of always aware of the way that all of our thoughts feel and are therefore less surprised than most people when something we really don’t want happens. This might be a hard pill to swallow for people sitting on the fence about Law of Attraction and it probably really hits a nerve for people who really have an aversion to it, but it really is the truth. It isn’t supposed to be a holier than thou thing either, it’s just a simple truth about vibration. The more aligned with this energy that you become, the more sensitive you become to when you’re out of alignment with it. Therefore, you’re just simply more aware of how things are coming to you - even the things you do not want.

This brings us to the absolute kicker for many people when it comes to the idea that thoughts create reality. “Okay, but what about babies who have cancer or people who are getting bombed all over the world? Are they attracting that?” The hard and almost unacceptable answer is: yes. Let’s get the harsher and more critical understandings out of the way first when it comes to this. For one, you literally can not know what’s going on in any other person’s vibration and to claim so is absolute folly. Yes, you can get a feel for where someone is at in the moment and they can describe these things to you, but you can not ever know what is going on with someone else’s multi-faceted and constantly fluctuating vibration. Not even the person that is sitting right next to you or even the person that you’re closest with - let alone people on the other side of the globe that exist in a completely different culture. So using other people’s attractions, who you potentially have no real idea about, as an excuse not to clean up your thoughts and live your best life is actually kind of insensitive in its own backhanded way when you think about it.

For two, everyone demands objectivity until you utter the words, “Law of Attraction is such a fair friend.” It’s funny how the same people who will criticize being too emotional or think it’s unintelligent to be emotionally led, and therefore demand and venerate objectivity, will then turn around in an accusatory mess when you dare say that people create their own reality. In other words, they do not realize how much they’re contradicting themselves when they decry emotion and subjectivity, and then in that same breath get offended when you try to tell them that they [and whoever they’re using as their excuse not to clean up their vibration] create their own reality. It really is a hard truth to swallow, but again, when you start to really feel that alignment and understand the empowerment it brings, it has the complete opposite effect.

Now that was pretty critical, but it is however very true. Let’s lighten it up now. For the most part, when people are criticizing Law of Attraction in this way, it is coming from a place of empathy and care for other humans. It isn’t always about avoiding taking responsibility for their own vibration and thoughts. Usually, it’s just kinda lacking the awareness of their own vibration, having gratitude for the fact that they don’t experience anything absolutely heinous in the ways that other people do, and also having that sense of empathy or compassion for those other people. Yes, some people do use this as an out for acknowledging their insecurities, and to some degree anyone who denies the truth of Law of Attraction is on some level doing that, but most of it is coming from this place of compassion. It is quite disheartening to imagine that the reason someone is experiencing something horrible is because they’re attracting that to them. However, this is just sort of reframing the nihilistic perspective of a, “cold, unforgiving universe,” into one of understanding the absolute Unconditional Love that is driving life to be and to become, in the sense that we are an extension of that and can choose to either allow or resist that becoming. In other words, it reframes the, “cold, unforgiving universe,” into a universe that is always beaming this love to you and through you. Though it can not make you choose to align with it, it and your true expression of it absolutely want you to. You sort of come to grasp this once you really begin to experience the power behind alignment and that cold, hard truth becomes a very loving and empowering one.
