Attracting them vibes... a matter of perception

I have been practicing and learning a lot about the law of attraction for a number of years now, some proactively and deliberately and some not so deliberately.

What I want to discuss with you today is the perceptions and understandings we have connected to the Law of Attraction (LOA) i.e. the core belief of the LOA is that what you focus on and feel: what you are transmitting constantly is what comes your way.

I have seen this from various angles and also for me, some of my learnings have been that what I am focusing on sending to others is what I may even receive in return, particularly when I am least expecting it. And then SPLAT! Sometimes it's instant "Karma"... Now I know that what I am sending out may not necessarily be kind, hey I'm human after all! So if someone really winds me up and has somehow, in my perception, screwed with my day going smoothly, being human my automatic reaction would be to get peeved to the point where I am visioning them getting a taste of their own medicine which includes sending them negative vibes.

Of course aiming to learn and be loving all the time I have been berated myself many times when I have caught myself staring daggers at the woman who just jumped the queue and so on. I find myself frequently standing in my guilty corner without forgiving myself.

Now my topic for ponderance today is one that confuses me. in my life, I know some people who have spent their entire lives and every spare moment envying, despising and bad mouthing others simply because for them it is a given daily practice and a moment does not pass when they do not feel justified in belittling anyone and wishing them ill because they view themselves as god's neglected ones and born victims.

Now, when you think that "what you give is what you get back".... why are these people living comfortable lives free of pain with no sufferance that the naked eye can see or the mind perceive?

In fact, I know one particular case, an individual who has spent almost all of his life bitching, hating and resenting others and being mean to others. Frequently moaning about how he's been excluded from enjoying life's gifts and how every person in the world has been against him all his life, how life has dealt him a horrendous blow and yet his life, as far as I can see, has been comfortable and easy and made even easier recently with a lot of benefits coming his way.

In my opinion, this person has been so cruel to others in his life that in the case of energy being sent out I would have expected him to be overwhelmed with pain and dis-ease. Yet non seems to be apparent, this person appears to live his life peacefully free of fraught anxiety at any level.

What gives Universe? What have these individuals done to receive support and love all their lives instead of the jealousy and pain they constantly transmit to others?

The only thing I can think of is that at some level they love themselves beyond their minds and know at every level that they are unsoiled and therefore fully deserving of all life's blessings, which is what they have attracted and appear to be indulging in.

I am rather sad as I sit here unsure of how to bypass the feelings this quizzical conundrum brings to mind. I feel resentful about the pain these people have rained on others and wonder why they can enjoy their lives so comfortably.

But then again I am being overtly judgemental.

On the one hand the LOA says focus + energy = magnetic attraction of whatever you are resonating at... so you think bad... feel bad and send out bad... you get more bad in your personal experience... TRUE or FALSE?

Why then in the cases I have in mind do these individuals continue to experience the best of the best in life? As I write this I know that I am viewing these individuals' life experiences as being joyful, pain less and healthful and this may be a completely skewed perception.

In short - this is simply my PERCEPTION... yet I can't get past the fact that they seem to have to easy.

I then look for explanations elsewhere:

A) Theory number one is that the Universal Law Of Attraction does not work alone and that other universal laws are at play in these situations such as the Law of Balance, etc. which then complicates the dynamics at play in any given situation.

B) Theory number two is one that subscribes to the theory of this planet and universe being part of a "school" for soul evolution. A school where you come in to learn how to live in accordance with the Universal Laws and situations are created at a higher evolutionary level to help you learn and expand your soul's awareness.

C) Theory number three is based on the old eastern cultural beliefs of karmic debts. You are reborn because you have one or several karmic debts to repay a process of re-balancing the the soul account books so to speak. The danger here being is that in the life where you are repaying a karmic debt you could actually end up creating further karmic debts depending on how you behave in relation to basic natural and universal laws of balance i.e. be nice or else! ;-).

D) Theory number four, all of the above and more that i have not yet considered or am aware of.

As a person who is still learning and growing with my personal awareness I believe this is where the learning's will expand showing how and if these are related and what dynamics are at play in our daily lives. So watch this space.

If you have any opinions or ideas you wish to share I am very open to hearing from you.
