Evil And The Law Of Attraction

As I write this article, I wish to convey the depth of love that fills this universe. It’s always around you — you are wrapped in love. We just don’t sense it because our perception is severely limited.
When I wrote “We are all causing evils”, you may have felt uncomfortable. Some of you may reacted thinking, “No way. I am a good person. I don’t do bad things. Plus, how could I possibly have caused the starvation in Africa or debilitating diseases to innocent children?”
Well, even though it may not be so apparent, we all have caused the evils in this world. You, me, everyone. And this is a great news. Because if we have caused them, then we can cease to cause them.
I have a few tips how to. . .
What you focus on expands
The Law of Attraction says what you focus on expands. It doesn’t matter if your focus is a positive one (“I love this! I want more of this!”) or a negative one (“I hate this! I don’t want any of this!”)
And this is how so many sick people unwittingly aggravate their situation and how we increase bad news such as crimes and social injustice.
Let’s say you get sick. The original cause may have been some kind of infection or nutritional imbalance or stress, etc. The problem is, once you acknowledge you have the health problem, you keep thinking and worrying about it so much. This way, you energetically feed the disease. Eventually, you may even start identifying with the disease.
Focus on health and joy, not on health problem
Let me use myself as a humble example. So I had some problems with sugar. The original cause may have been hormonal imbalance with my age or yin yang imbalance or something else or all of the above.
Strange things happen when I start worrying about my eating habit. The more I try NOT to eat sugary foods, the more cravings I get. And things get worse and worse.
The solution is to direct my attention to something I want. If you have the same problem, make a basic plan of what you eat in a day, perhaps with a plan for physical activities, too. And more importantly, focus on doing something you enjoy (hopefully, this includes your work as well as your hobby).
When you have the craving, just observe it like you observe passing thoughts in meditation. It will pass if you don’t feed it by reacting to it (that is, arguing against it or reasoning things out to it or forcing yourself to ignore it, etc) We are incapable of holding one thought for a long time. Know you are more than the thought or the thinking mind, and just observe it.
Even when you end up eating that forbidden food, don’t punish yourself. Just take care of yourself (you may be feeling sick, so take a rest, take some supplements like vitamin C). Don’t dwell on it but instead re-direct your attention on the things you enjoy.
I am not going into details with other health issues but I hope you get the idea. Make a plan of your recovery and healing with conventional and/or alternative healthcare professionals, follow it, but don’t worry about your disease. And definitely don’t identify with your disease. When fear and anger arise, release them by simply observing them. Direct your energy to what you can do and enjoy.
Bad news sell
The same energetic dynamics is at play with evils such as social injustice. The more we focus on the bad news, the more bad news we create. And the media loves it — after all, they know bad news sell.
So the solution is to direct our attention to love, peace, compassion, harmony, and joy. Any small act of love helps. Actually, not just the actions to promote peace and compassion, any loving thoughts help.
As I wrote in the last post, there is no significant difference between me getting frustrated in the traffic jam and someone starting a war. So rather than worrying about the bad things happening, live your life with love.
This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t give to good causes or do other activities to promote peace and justice. But worrying about evil really is counterproductive. (And reduce the time you watch the news. It reduces the bad news and helps your health.)
100th monkey
“But how can I, in the little corner of my town, affect the end of war that is happening thousands of miles away?”, you may ask.
Because the energy moves across space. Have you heard about the 100th monkey effect? From Wikipedia:
“(The scientist observed that) some of these monkeys (in the island) learned to wash sweet potatoes, and gradually this new behavior spread through the younger generation of monkeys—in the usual fashion, through observation and repetition. Watson then claimed that the researchers observed that once a critical number of monkeys was reached — the so-called hundredth monkey — this previously learned behavior instantly spread across the water to monkeys on nearby islands.”
So the monkeys in group B, who never met the potato-washing monkeys (group A), somehow figured to wash their potatoes. Not by direct communication. How could this happen?
I believe this is the effect of energetic communication.
The same thing can happen with you practicing kind acts in your humble life — once we reach the critical number, that kindness can spread even if you don’t directly teach it. (Note: The 100th monkey effect is disputed, like many psychic phenomena.)
You may also have noticed multiple people in different areas of the world seem to come up with very similar ideas almost at the same time. Like Edison and Bell conceiving the idea of the telephone. It’s like they both received the idea from — heaven?
It’s another sign that energy travels across space with no problem.
Conscious creation
Before, we didn’t fully know how powerful we really are, that we are creating our reality. So we became victims. But now, we know.
Are ALL evils created by us entertaining negative thoughts? I am not sure. For example, small children seem to take up the negativity in the collective consciousness and manifest it as their health problems. They also seem to come with certain health challenges as a way of learning — after all, we are all here to learn our life lessons, and why is it so wrong to learn it through health challenges (or financial problems or relationship difficulties)?
I am confident that the answer to the world’s seemingly overwhelming and complicated problems is quite simple. Change comes with one person choosing love and peace. And another person. And another. Join us!

I am really enjoying these articles. Would you explain a little more what you mean by identifying with your disease? Especially since you said to definitely not do it!
Thank you,

Joshua,
Identifying with the disease (or any other type of problems) means the problem becomes part of who you think you are. For example, I was watching the movie “Simply Raw” the other day. It is a documentary of six volunteers, who are all diagnosed with diabetes, spending 30 days at raw foods retreat.
One of the volunteers is a young man who was diagnosed when he was a young boy. People told him he would have to take insulin for the rest of his life because he has type 1 diabetes (meaning his body cannot produce insulin). As the days went by and his blood sugar went down, reducing his need for insulin, he basically panicked. He could not accept his recovery although he wanted to attend this retreat to get better. He did various self-sabotaging things.
Being a type 1 diabetic was so much part of his identity that he could not risk to lose it.
Many people do similar things. Let’s say you’ve had a certain health condition for some time. The health condition has probably become part of who you are and you see yourself with that colored glass. You also expect others to see you with that condition.
Good thing you are paying attention to this. Even if you do have a health condition, treat it like you deal with a business task and procedures. Don’t get emotionally invested. Your thoughts and emotions are best directed to something you choose to enjoy.
Hi Akemi. We have not really met yet. I have given these issues lots of thought because of my life and I no longer believe it is that simple. It all depends where in awareness a person is living, I think. Ex: if you speak hundreds of affirmations but the whole time your gut says NO WAY, the gut will rule. I have life long eating disorders and the first thing I had to do was to graciously allow myself to eat whatever I wanted to disconnect from dieters consciousness, and only then can I carry out healthier choices. As for illnesses, I have observed too many times when people run off with this idea in its many forms and will hit ill people over the head with a mental “you created it” or convey the person did something negative, etc., or the ill people hit themselves over the head and wonder why they can’t “create” something different, or they feel they did it to themselves. Again I think a loving embrace, an acceptance of the whole person and the condition, validating every aspect, even what you would term negative or harmful, and THEN the door to other thinking seems to open to other views because there is no longer conflict with the self, …..and I think there is a better reason for giving kindness and allowingness because not everyone is going to find healing….. it may be something else they find that is a blessing, or maybe they will not find a positive outcome….. but love, and kindness, validation and support always lifts the spirit and the body if the person is open to that and wants that. In the end I think it is whatever path brings serenity, freedom from fear, tolerance, acceptance (freedom from conflict), and allowingness in our own minds because there are mysteries and we can’t always figure everything out, or heal every situation, and the lesson or cause can be hidden away from the awareness of the most awesome practioner/healer, and from the most diligent seeker,….. and this leads to the concept of divine timing and a higher will happening in the life of each of us, Your LIfe Path. Lastly I know there are always those who seem to flow along and bless you, but there are so many lives that do not and will not ever fit into these wonderful sounding concepts for creating your best life or living your best life beyond the fact that of course it is always best to not indulge in dark thinking and fostering sadness, but sometimes this too needs to be lovingly accepted and allowed. And of course I am not talking about those who have ascended to that conscious awarenss of mind who can live and experience life from that level of awareness. Thank you for letting me share.
