Your Perception Is Your Reality

Did you ever see the movie Star Wars? If you didn't or if you missed it the Jedi spoke of "your focus determines your reality".

Okay, so we are not in a galaxy "far, far away" nor is it a "long time ago".

But how much truth is that statement? Are the Jedi really talking about your perception creating your reality?

What does this mean? Are they alluding to the Law of Attraction?

Okay, lets get back to Earth.

Lets start with the definition of the Law of Attraction:

The basic definition of the Law of Attraction states: "That which is like unto itself, is drawn."

This means that the more you focus on something you attract it into your reality. This is one of the Universal Laws.

By definition this Law is one of the Creation Laws.

So, when you put your attention on it you attract it to yourself.

You have to be aware that this also means that when you put your attention on something positive OR negative you bring that into your world.

For example, if you are convinced that you are having a hard time paying the bills or that you are broke, the Law sees what you are saying and says: "Oh, you want to have a hard time paying the bills and be broke? Okay, so here you go you are having a hard time paying the bills and you are broke."

But if you change your words to: "I am having an easy time paying my bills and I am wealthy." AND you believe it through and through, then you attract that into your world.

So, the Law would then say "Oh, you want an easy time paying your bills and you want to be wealthy? Okay, so here you go you are having an easy time paying your bills and you are wealthy."

It is important to note that wealth means so much more than just monetary. It also means friendship, love, health and emotional.

You may find abundance in the above four categories before monetary gain. But it is important to note what is going on.

To the Law of Attraction whatever you put your thoughts on you attract to yourself. The Law wants you to be happy and content, not sad or struggling. But it makes no distinction between positive and negative. It sees simply that you want whatever you are thinking about.

In addition the more you think about anything and you put your feelings behind, the more you attract that into your world.

With all that has been said about the Law of Attraction and what has been said here, that you should be beginning to realize that your perception IS your reality.

Because your perception is about how you think AND feel, it is about YOUR point of view.

So, when the Jedi were talking about your "focus becomes your reality", they were discussing the Law of Attraction.

In the same way your perception is your reality because it is your focus and that is the essence of the Law of Attraction and the other two Creation Laws (the Science of Deliberate Creation and the Art of Allowing).

It is your absolute belief and focus that brings whatever your wants are into this world.

So be mindful of your thoughts and feelings. Because it is these two (plus letting go) that create what you experience in your world. The Art of Allowing will be discussed soon.

Simply remember this: Think, feel and let go. If you are to create, the Laws are basically that uncomplicated. However, it is us that get in our own way.
