Transformational Times:

By now every man, woman, and child in the US must know about the“Law of Attraction”. Having its origins in New Age circles, we can thank Esther Hicks for making it a buzzword in mainstream America.

“The Law of Attraction”—–what does it mean?” asks the neophyte.  It means that if you concentrate and focus on what you want, you will attract it to you.  Hey man, you can fulfill all of your desires!  How cool is that!  And because it’s a “Law” its spiritual too!

Hmmm…what’s wrong with this picture?  Don’t the eastern religions teach spirituality is being Detached from one’s desires?   They say we need to release our desires to move forward on the spiritual ladder.

When we focus on the “Law of Attraction” we are merely reflecting our consumer-oriented society’s needs and our culture’s disconnection from gratitude.  As if we don’t already have enough, now we can satisfy our More Syndrome and fulfill all our monetary desires.

The “Law of Attraction” is but one Law governing this Planet.  Let’s balance out our actions by learning about the “Law of Reciprocity”. Then instead of fulfilling our desires, maybe we can change our lifestyles and save the world.

So what is the deal with the “Law of Reciprocity”? The “Law of Reciprocity” is based on the “Law of Right Relationship” which says that all life is sacred and that everything in the Web of Life is connected.  When we get something, we need to honor the Sacred and All of Our Relations, (the 2 legged, 4 legged, fishes, insects, plants, trees, winged ones, mountains, stars), by giving something back in return.

And when we give something back, it needs to be:  Without Attachment, Without Controlling the Outcome, and Without Strings Attached.

An interesting thing happens when we allow ourselves to work with the“Law of Reciprocity”. All of our:

-  Poverty transforms into abundance

-  Greed & envy transforms into gratitude

-   Competition transforms into cooperation

-    And domination transforms into equality

If, we had as many people committed to the “Law of Reciprocity” as there are committed to the “Law of Attraction”, a wondrous healing and renewal could happen on Earth and in its human collective.

Wouldn’t it be nice if this change began with YOU!
