Article 32

ATTENTION TO WHAT-IS ONLY CREATES MORE OF WHAT-IS

     The Law of Attraction is responding to you, to your point of attraction--and your point of attraction is caused by your thoughts.  The way you feel is caused by the thoughts that you are thinking.  So the way you feel about yourself is your strong powerful magnetic point of attraction.  When you feel poor, you cannot attract prosperity.  When you feel fat, you cannot attract thin.  When you feel lonely you cannot attract companionship--it defies the Law.  Many around you want to point out "reality" to you.  They say, "Face the facts.  Look at what-is."  And we say to you, if you are able to see only what-is--then, by the Law of Attraction, you will create only more of what-is . . . . You must be able to put your thoughts beyond what-is in order to attract something different or something more.

     Your emotional attention to what-is will root you like a tree to this spot, but an emotional (happy) vision of what you would like to begin attracting into your experience will bring you those changes.  Much of what you are now living, you want to continue, so keep giving your attention to those things, and you will continue to hold those things in your experience.  But anything that you do not want, you must take your attention from.

     They do, indeed.  You are offering vibrations even when you do not know you are doing it; that is why there is creating by default.  You cannot turn your Creative Mechanism off; it is always functioning, and the Laws are always responding.  That is why there is such value in understanding the Laws.  Not understanding them is a little bit like coming into a game where you do not know the rules.  And so, as you are playing the game, you do not understand why you are getting what you are getting.  and that sort of game becomes frustrating, and most want to leave it.

     Do not think about what you do not want.  Do not give thought to that which you do not want--for your attention to it attracts it.  The more you think about it, the more powerful your thought becomes, and the more emotion comes forth.  However, when you say, "I'm not going to think about that subject anymore," in that moment you are still thinking about that subject.  So the key is to think about something else--something that you do want.  With practice you will be able to tell by the
