I discovered the true importance of attitude, in my own life, rather indirectly. I spent hundreds of dollars and tens of hours using several different kinds of psychedelics to contemplate on, what I was calling at the time, the zero point moment. The now. I don’t know if it was reward or treasure or knowledge that I sought but something primal compelled me to find A way to perceive the zero point moment, even if for A fleeting second, so that I might bring something back worth sharing.
In fact it was several months after my consumption of psychedelics ended that I had the epiphany. You see, whether I knew it or not, I was seeking A revelation to the mystery of manifestation. We always ask ourselves, "whats the secret?" more so I was looking for A short cut. A tool for making manifestation easier. Now, i’m fairly confident that to this day, there remains to be no shortcut, however, I believe that what I did take from all of it is as close to a shortcut as anyone can get.
I imagine most of you have heard of, read, or have seen "the secret". They pointed out the law of attraction and regurgitated much of the usual plattitudes that are, for what it's worth, mostly true save for much left unexplained. Just about everything told on the secret you can hear in the first five minutes of talking with a hipster. The fact is, most trust in this law without actually knowing how it works. which leads to lots of frustration with the manifestation process.
When you hear talk about the law of attraction you should be relating it to magnetism which of course deals in a positive and negative polarity. Attitude is your compass. It has a north and south pole so you might think of north as being your divine path which means the increasing ease of the manifestation of your will (unity), and south as being resistance/deviance (disunity).
just like in magnetism, there is a constant flow of resonance going in both the south and north direction simultaneously but because consciousness is a focal point (law of focus), when a choice is made (action taken) it is going to be oriented in a north (positive) or south (negative) direction and contrary to popular belief, a "negative" polarity does not mean one that is cancerous or aggressive. A negative polarity's sole purpose is to manifest the OPPOSITE of that which is intended.
If you want to be simultaneously aware of where you are in the process while allowing the unconscious to manifest, you will need a tool.
The name of the tool is ATTITUDE.
POSITIVE/NEGATIVE FORMS OF ATTITUDE
Now in order to appreciate attitude you have to be able to appreciate the value of the external reality as being symbiotic to the internal. What that means is you have to be able to understand that the reality you see around you is one and the same as the reality within you. As above so below, as within so without. What i’m speaking of is the reoccurring pattern that can be found in all things natural. Specifically I am referring to fractal nature which all of reality ultimately consists of. Everything you perceive is within your mind and every ONE you perceive is another version of you reflected back to you. You aren’t JUST a body, you are the environment. You are the planet. You are the sun. You ARE the UNIVERSE! You in the next layer of reality created this version of you so that you could immerse yourself in a whole new perspective, and your attitude is exactly HOW you are communicating with that encompassing mind.
When practicing the discipline of attitude, you will find that there can be a time when patience can be met with the need for urgency, or a time when willfullness can be met with the need for inaction. Discernment is the most important point of any thesis. In every conscious moment there is an opportunity to take "right action" which is to say, to enact an APPROPRIATE attitude.
In conclusion, how you interact with the environment is in fact how you are interacting with yourself. So treat the external as you would treat yourself, with a loving attitude and I promise you, that you will know happiness. Most of all, have the attitude you want to see more of in the world. Be how you want to be remembered.
