← CHAPTER OVERVIEW

Letting go of resistance & Attachment

Dear Creatrix,

Today we are going to look at the last two laws of the Basic Laws of Life: The Law of Resistance and The Law of Attachment.

We will look at the first two: As Above, So Below and As Within, So Without in the Relationships chapter.

The two laws we are looking at today, are quite interesting, in a peculiar way, because, I think, they are so contrary to what we’re used to.

What do you usually do when you encounter a problem?

Do you think about it, talk about it, and try to use your mind to find a solution?

Because according to these two laws, when you approach things this way, you are actually energising the problem and with that keeping it alive.

AGAIN, YOU ARE SIMPLY INVITED TO TEST THIS YOURSELF.

The Course of Miracle teaches in very many different words and ways, that behind every problem, there is a solution.

And I think most of us would easily agree with this.

Now, the choice we have, when we are faced with a problem, is to focus on the problem or the solution.

Which one do you think is more useful?

And in a way, that is what we did when we looked at the fears and the desires behind them, so we can replace the fears with those desires and wishes and with that change our destiny.

THE LAW OF RESISTANCE

The Law of Resistance teaches us, that whatever we resist persists because we are energising whatever we are resisting with our thoughts.

Let’s have a look at what this might look like in practice:

Imagine that you think that you don’t have anyone in your life who truly understands you. What do you do?

As long as you think: “I’m lonely, there’s no one here for me, I have to go through this all on my own,” you keep this situation alive. You are resisting your current situation.

When, instead, you could also focus on the possibility of meeting someone who understands you.

Just ask yourself who you would have to be to meet that person?

You can imagine what it would be like and what you would do together and how this could positively change your life.

The more you feel like this is already in your life, the more you are living the life and fall in love with yourself and your life, and live like this is your life already, the more likely it is to actually happen.

Imagining this, you will turn into the person who is ready to meet their soulmate by opening up to them, as you are inviting them into your life and prepare your life to be with them (more on this next month when we talk about relationships!).

Often we boycott our dreams with doubts, or by energizing our current realities and saying things like: “I’ll be happy once I have this,” instead of: “I’ll work on being happy so that I can have this.”

We can choose to energise the reality of loneliness, hopelessness or self-pity or that of love, abundance and endless possibility, but we always have to take fate into our hands and create what we wish for – and not complain or wait for others to do the work.

And whatever we focus on will be our reality.

YOU CHOOSE WHERE YOUR ENERGY GOES, IN EVERY MOMENT.

So the Law of Resistance basically reminds us that if we continue to give energy to an unwanted situation, we keep it alive, by actively resisting it.

The same is true for physical health, for example, something we explore in the MOVEMENT chapter. When we notice a pain or a sickness and focus on it – we energise it. So what we have to focus on is how we wish to be, to guide our body into becoming that. It’s always first the image, so all our energies are aligned to make this our new reality.

If we focus on the problem, and resist the reality, it is keeping us in a lower vibration, that of resentment or sadness or jealousy.

It’s like resisting our call to cross over the river. As long as we do, we keep the fear alive. And the only way through is to actually work our way through it and use our fear to guide us to what we wish for.

If we think we can’t have something, we can’t and that’s the reality we are creating.

If we don’t pay any attention to what we don’t want, however, it simply disappears.

And if we focus on what we do want, without doubt, or excuses, then that is what we will have.

This isn’t as easy in the beginning and takes a lot of practice, just try for yourself, but it can be done with love and patience and if we don’t give up until we actually get there.

And we already looked at how to do that, by simply…
