Law of Attraction
Here are some of those problematic questions (all are generalizations of ones I received via email):
•What happens when people put out conflicting intentions, like two people intending to get the same promotion when only one position is available?
•Do children, babies, and/or animals put out intentions?
•If a child is abused, does that mean the child intended it in some way?
•If I intend for my relationship to improve, but my spouse doesn’t seem to care, what will happen?
These questions seem to weaken the plausibility of the Law of Attraction. Sometimes people answer them by going pretty far out. For example, it’s been said by LoAers that a young child experiences abuse because s/he intended it or earned it during a past life. Well, sure… we can explain just about anything if we bring past lives into the equation, but IMO that’s a cop-out. On the other hand, objective reality without the Law of Attraction doesn’t provide satisfactory answers either — supposedly some kids are just born unlucky. That’s a cop-out too.
I’ve never been satisfied by others’ answers to these questions, and they’re pretty important questions if the Law of Attraction is to be believed. Some books hint at the solution but never really nail it. That nail, however, can be found in the concept of subjective reality.
Subjective reality is a belief system in which (1) there is only one consciousness, (2) you are that singular consciousness, and (3) everything and everyone in your reality is a projection of your thoughts.
You may not see it yet, but subjective reality neatly answers all these tricky Law of Attraction questions. Let me ‘splain….
In subjective reality there’s only one consciousness, and it’s yours. Consequently, there’s only one source of intentions in your universe — YOU. While you may observe lots of walking, talking bodies in your reality, they all exist inside your consciousness. You know this is how your dreams work, but you haven’t yet realized your waking reality is just another type of dream. It only seems solid because you believe (intend) it is.
Since none of the other characters you encounter are conscious in a way that’s separate from you, nobody else can have intentions. The only intentions are yours. You’re the only thinker in this universe.
It’s important to correctly define the YOU in subjective reality. YOU are not your physical body. This is not the egoic you at all. I’m not suggesting you’re a conscious body walking around in a world full of unconscious automatons. That would be a total misunderstanding of subjective reality. The correct viewpoint is that you’re the single consciousness in which this entire reality takes place.
Imagine you’re having a dream. In that dream what exactly are YOU? Are YOU the physical dream character you identify with? No, of course not — that’s just your dream avatar. YOU are the dreamer. The entire dream occurs within your consciousness. All dream characters are projections of your dream thoughts, including your avatar. In fact, if you learn lucid dreaming, you can even switch avatars in your dream by possessing another character. In a lucid dream, you can do anything you believe you can.
Physical reality works the same way. This is a denser universe than what you experience in your sleeping dreams, so changes occur a bit more gradually here. But this reality still conforms to your thoughts just like a sleeping dream. YOU are the dreamer in which all of this is taking place.
The idea that other people have intentions is an illusion because other people are just projections. Of course, if you strongly believe other people have intentions, then that’s the dream you’ll create for yourself. But ultimately it’s still an illusion.
Here’s how subjective reality answers these challenging Law of Attraction questions:
What happens when people put out conflicting intentions, like two people intending to get the same promotion when only one position is available?
Since you’re the only intender, this is entirely an internal conflict — within YOU. You’re holding the thought (the intention) for both people to want the same position. But you’re also thinking (intending) that only one can get it. So you’re intending competition. This whole situation is your creation. You believe in competition, so that’s what you manifest. Maybe you have some beliefs (thoughts and intentions) about who will get the promotion, in which case your expectations will manifest. But you may have a higher order belief that life is random, unfair, uncertain, etc., so in that case you may manifest a surprise because that’s what you’re intending.
Being the only intender in your reality places a huge responsibility on your shoulders. You can give up control of your reality by thinking (intending) randomness and uncertainty, but you can never give up responsibility. You’re the sole creator in this universe. If you think about war, poverty, disease, etc., that’s exactly what you’ll manifest. If you think about peace, love, and joy, you’ll manifest that too. Your reality is exactly what you think it is. Whenever you think about anything, you summon its manifestation.
Do children, babies, and/or animals put out intentions?
No. Your own body doesn’t even put out intentions — only your consciousness does. You’re the only one who has intentions, so what takes precedence is what YOU intend for the children, babies, and animals in your reality. Every thought is an intention, so however you think about the other beings in your reality is what you’ll eventually manifest for them. Keep in mind that beliefs are hierarchical, so if you have a high order belief that reality is random and unpredictable and out of your control, then that intention will trump other intentions of which you’re less certain. It’s your entire collection of thoughts that dictates how your reality manifests.
If a child is abused, does that mean the child intended it in some way?
No. It means YOU intended it. You intend child abuse to manifest simply by thinking about it. The more you think about child abuse (or any other subject), the more you’ll see it expand in your reality. Whatever you think about expands, and not just in the narrow space of your avatar but in all of physical reality.
If I intend for my relationship to improve, but my spouse doesn’t seem to care, what will happen?
This is another example of intending conflict. You’re projecting one intention for your avatar and one for your spouse, so the actual unified intention is that of conflict. Hence the result you experience, subject to the influence of your higher order beliefs, will be to experience conflict with your spouse. If your thoughts are conflicted, your reality is conflicted.
This is why assuming responsibility for your thoughts is so important. If you want to see peace in the world, then intend peace for EVERYTHING in your reality. If you want to see abundance in the world, then intend it for EVERYONE. If you want to enjoy loving relationships, then intend loving relationships for ALL. If you intend these only for your own avatar but not for others, then you’re intending conflict, division, and separation; consequently, that’s what you’ll experience.
If you stop thinking about something entirely, does that mean it disappears? Yes, technically it does. But in practice it’s next to impossible to uncreate what you’ve already manifested. You’ll continue creating the same problems just by noticing them. But when you assume 100% responsibility for everything you’re experiencing in your reality right now — absolutely everything — then you assume the power to alter your reality by rechanneling your thoughts.
This entire reality is your creation. Feel good about that. Feel grateful for the richness of your world. And then begin creating the reality you truly want by making decisions and holding intentions. Think about what you desire, and withdraw your thoughts from what you don’t want. The most natural, easiest way to do this is to pay attention to your emotions. Thinking about your desires feels good, and thinking about what you don’t want makes you feel bad. When you notice yourself feeling bad, you’ve caught yourself thinking about something you don’t want. Turn your focus back towards what you do want, and your emotional state will improve rapidly. As you do this repeatedly, you’ll begin to see your physical reality shift too, first in subtle ways and then in bigger leaps.
I too am just a manifestation of your consciousness. I play the role you expect me to play. If you expect me to be a helpful guide, I will be. If you expect me to be profound and insightful, I will be. If you expect me to be confused or deluded, I will be. But of course there’s no distinct ME that is separate from YOU. I’m just one of your many creations. I am what you intend me to be. But deep down you already knew that, didn’t you?
surfers paradise
Yes this is indeed Surfers Paradise....Every surfers paradise...im not a surfer could this be my paradise too? Yaahhhh! Im taking it literally again! YUp its evryones paradise unless you dont love the beach! The beach was fascinating and i love it since i love to swim too bad i wasnt able to take a dip since i opted to go some more exciting places other than the beach...anyway i got my picture and of course more activities to be done should follow!
There are more than a beach in surfers paradise..theres a lot of tourist haven waiting for you here! You can buy all kinds of souvenirs and cheap chocolates with macademia! Aside from shopping...you can saee alot of good sights here! I cant forget seeing a lot of people in their bikinis...guys in their hot surfer shorts! boy!Im really looking at a lot of gorgeous pewople. We were even joking around that UGLY PEOPLE ARE NOT ALLOWED IN AUSTRALIA! Its really surely entertaining watching the locals,the foreigners (including ourselves) from Americans,Japanese,Chinese,Koreans etc...
Thats me ! From the pictures i got and the one from the beach front!
Queensland here i come
Brisbane... after approximately an hour of plane ride we are now in Brisbane. A bus is waiting to bring us to our destibnation...in Queensland..Gold Coast Australia! Im not a Bus person so this is really something i have to endure. I really have something in riding Buses and please its either i sleep or i hold my breath once in awhile cause i really feel sick while riding the bus.
On this trip i opted not to sleep cause i want to see the view...practically i just felt envious with their hi-ways and even planes...i barely felt any bump in that ride. Nice infrastructure indeed unlike here in our country where you can experience lots of bump in the ride...i guess its part of our tourism program...its like riding in a rollercoaster bumpy ride!
Since we were already in Gold Coast...we were given advisory that we can wander around Surfers Paradise and see the view(just a short story see the picture? we were all going agag over this store i guess we dont need to argue on why we got so excited!) Our Hotel rooms are still not ready when we arrived there so ok picture taking and more picture taking to go!We did some shopping this time and since we are ohh so full eventhough its lunchtime we just grabbed something liquid anyway we were like pigs eating all the time in the plane. I do have some extra shirts for me to change but since everyone said we can change our clothes in the hotel later on i just complied with my friends....good thing that the airline gave us something to freshen up thanks to the toilettries. Remember i had no toothpaste on hand? The place was so gorgeous and since i am a dog lover loved all those dogs passing by! I had an experience with a dog owner i dont know the breed of the dog so i got so excited and blurtted out "its so cute!" the owner(man) smiled at me but his wife (a filipina i am pretty sure!) said..."can"t you see? Its a dog! Havent you seen one?" i was shocked! "yes i know its a dog! Its just happened its my first time to see that kind of dog!" She was really sarcastic thats why i answered back! I guess i wont get jailed talking back to a local there(who i think is a nasty "kababayan"!)
Walk walk and a never ending walk!!! i bought a lot of stuff for my friends and family i guess most of it is a miniature kangaroo and koala...wow everything is expensive thats why i wascontrolling my expenses coz i stll have
first stop...sydney
After 6 hours of flight...now im really am in Australia!!!! HOWDY!!!! Not to mention the air pressure i experienced while the plane was landing...argh! I barely got any sleep...why? Aside from enjoying every refreshment given at the plane i really enjoyed watching now.. an oscar nominated film "The Queen". It was entertaining and really though i had a serving bottle of red wine i wasnt able to get a good sleep! I guess that will be attributed to my excitement i guess! The movie was good and so were the actors too bad our lane lost our audio and hmph! I dont know what happened thereafter!
on the way to the land down under
It will be my first time in Aussie! AUSTRALIA! I had been so excited about this trip of mine! I guess i am blessed to be going there doing some bussiness and a little pleasure on the side. After the pre deaprture orientation you know...what you can do...and dont do in Australia,to bring or not to bring....the day before, everyone was ecstatic! Me i guess i can see those adorable Koalas ang Kangaroo! Yahu!
I will be aboard Quantas(my first in this airline) for a flight to Sydney then a connecting flight wil be waiting for us there off to Brisbane! The International airport in our country is very strict no liquid/water,gel form or any handcarried item with the same consistency is allowed. I guess that will be goodbye cologne, goodbye face spritz for me! And that also means goodbye toothpaste! Well i guess its better to be safe than sorry! We were on the airport 4 hours before our time of departure...i guess all we can do there is goof around and look for something we can be entertained of. After all the processes we just roam around the pre departure area...eat something here and there...but yup no buying first...dont want to spend my pocket money for something not important i guess i just bought myself a diet coke since i was nearly dehydrated hahaha! We waited till departure time and when we got in the plane we were already extremely hungry but it doesnt matter...there will be food in the airline for sure!!!

CHRISTMAS OUTING
We then went back to our car and get some clothes so we can freshen up! Thank God our Boss gave us boxer shorts as gift!And i gave my little sisters ttowels so i think we were ready! Dinner inside the park under the beautiful fireworks! We wanted to go to nearby Tagaytay for coffee but since its raining it will be a little foggy going up there so we decided to end the night after Enchanted Kingdom closed.
Little Chong Jae
I was so amazed when i saw these pictures of JunJins' future children both of them looked like my nephew and niece too bad i wasnt able to take a picture of my niece to show off but i guess my nephew Kyle can attest to what im claiming. Too bad Kyle is a little older now and he doesnt look like the picture above but im trying to look for her old pics as soon as i see his mom! Hahaha! I swear he really looks like the picture above when he was a little younger!
Hyun Young..Im shower girl

SWEET ANIMALS
HOW DADDY JJ GUARDS US
THE FIRST RAY OF THE THE SUN
After 3 weeks in the dark my puppy crys can now see the light! His first ray of light was last December 28. During this period crys can enjoy seeing his mom,dad and his brother dot. Im so excited seeing him with eyes wide open and crawling little by little since he can now see the surface he has been moving for quite sometime.
Crys will turnout to be a cute and cuddly dog in a few days time and by the way...since last Dec 30 was saddam husseins death and his death was all over the television my dad now calls crys...saddam! But for me he will always be crystal that may be called jinsung sometime. My pets can really relieve my stress. Thank God i have lots of them!

CRYSTAL
(IMAGINING HIS SMILE WHILE READING THIS that is if he can understand this)
BI AND SONG
Newsflash!!! Well if you all know when did I ever got a scoop from these people?Well just wanted to share my views with this. I love them both Bi the guy who made me move on to life's struggle and challenges and the woman who I may say the epitome of beauty...Song Hye Kyo.
Speculation,facts and fictions but what’s the truth behind these Full House stars?Are they or are'nt they? When I saw their chemistry on the small screen no wonder this series made it bigtime. Who knows...but my heart has been open to the possibilities that they can be an item. I will be very happy for both of them for sure. My love for Rain has moved to another level... And respect can now be given. Respect that I know one day Rain needs to find a person to be with. It may not be song but I would be more than happy if it would be her!
FEELING THE PRESSURE
Christmas eve is my favorite day!Why? Its the time for me to see how old I really am! My birthday was never an indications of my age, anyways its all just numbers but the funny part...what’s the connection of the eve of the birth of Christ with what I’m telling you about?
Its been a family tradition for 26 years to be exact(yes we celebrated our silver anniversary last year) to get together in my aunts house.I could still remember my 1st time attending this gathering...not so long ago. Hmmm ok around 21 years ago. Since I’m the youngest in the 2nd generation line I tend to be enjoying the kiddie games with my nephews and nieces...can’t forget how I do my "fundraising"activities that time since I have many cousins that are already yuppies that time I tend to get a lot of gifts and cash from them and from my aunts ang uncles.hmmmm its really fun to be the youngest!
But time really flies! I saw many toddlers now...but no they are not my niece or nephews...they are my grandchildren already! My niece and nephews got married ahead of me! But who's putting the pressure? Anyway I still have a long way to go! But seeing these kids really gives me so much joy and imagination...imagination that I will have 1 someday with someone I imagine to be with.
