The Law
Reckless selection of the company that we keep may prove to be damaging our aim of maintaining high levels of positive energy in our mind. We need to avoid all company that promote ill talk, gossipping, slandering etc. If we are in a situation that we can not avoid such company, we will need to maintain our physical presence only allowing the mind to escape. If we practise Reiki, I would have recommended drawing a protective energy shield around us before entering any company. We are again talking of building a new habit.
We need to take the precaution that we do not enter into any debate on the genuineness of The Law. We need to be secure with our faiths, beliefs and knowledge. Such debates may even erode our own power.
Temperance and moderation in the use of all things, and in the play of emotions, are essential for sustaining the power to attract. We need to make up our mind that we will not get annoyed by what annoys us in normal course. In due course we will stop experiencing these annoying experience. Annoyance leads to dilution of focus and dispersion of energy. Here is another habit that we need to work upon - building immunity to annoyance.
I have been talking about lot of habits that we need to build up. How do we do that when the old habits are deep rooted due to their existence within us for very long periods? Let us not presume that this will be easy. This will need effort and time. Old habits can be changed. It is also not necessary that we need to change each habit one by one. There is a way which is much easier and which will correct a bunch of old habits at one go. We will come back to habits in subsequent posts. I will recommend that we start identifying the prime habits that we must correct. The prime habits will be one or two. A prime habit can be defined as the one which we resort to most often or which disperses our resources, both physical and psychical most noticeably or one which we would like to stop doing most but are unable to stop. Think over carefully and identify the prime habits (pH).
Meanwhile let us look at certain other parameters which have bearing on our power to attract.
The condition of our minds does get influenced to our advantage or disadvantage by the action of other minds around us - be it conscious or unconscious - and by our environment - objects, scenes, squalor etc. We experience this phenomena when we become happy and joyful when we are close to natural beauty. I , personally, feel the impact of a bad environment when I enter a place where people are pulling down one another. I feel depression taking over and my energy level starts going down. I like to visit a few of my relatives and friends because their home environment exudes positive sensations. I avoid going to some, at the cost of relationships, because the environment in those homes is filthy and tend to drag me down.
Do we not remember our doctors prescribing a change of scene after passing through a serious illness as a means to recuperation? A change of scene not only implies a change in things that one sees, but a change also in thought, as new ideas and new state of mind comes through when the mind starts to feel "fresh".
A person who remains in the same place and among same set of friends, who is doing the same work everyday, year after year, grows stale and becomes bereft of new thoughts and new ideas. He will repeat the same story over and over again. He regards the world as worn out and his vision becomes myopic. Lacking in life and variety he perceives the world as void of life and variety. For life is to us is exactly as we see it through the spectacles that we wear. The ageing process sets is very fast for such a person.
The mental diet that we feed ourselves has much more significant impact on our heath and vitality than the material food that we consume. Hence we need to be very careful in getting out of the drudgery.
I always recommend that whenever we start a major initiative like applying The Law, we should take a short sabbatical and start the process, in seclusion, at a place which is abundant in nature's beauty. One will literally feel ones mind opening up. I strongly recommend that each one of us who want to apply The Law should make it a point to invest some time everyday in learning something new, in expanding our knowledge.
