I have not written on my blog for a while.
I do not know what to think of the world I am living in.
I want peace on earth.
I want to be able to live my life in peace.
I want to bond with others.
I want to fly:

Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me:

Lately, I have been connecting with the energy of Abraham.

When I need inspiration I sometimes turn to Abraham, a group of non-physical beings channeled through Esther Hicks. (http://www.abraham-hicks.com). Abraham speaks in terms of vibration and teaches us that The Law of Attraction.

I’ve referred to the Law of Attraction in previous posts without definition of the term. Law of Attraction involves raising one’s vibration to match the thing that we desire. In other words focus on the thing that makes us feel good.

I have been in a discussion about why we call God father. I pointed out that often God is referred to as father/mother. I find it helpful to emphasize the feminine aspects of God such as nourishing and one who gives birth. I was listening to a favorite album of chants by Robert Gass and On Wings of Song. The song/chant “Ancient Mother” is a classic. I found several versions on youtube. This is my favorite. It beautifully illustrates various ways God has been imaged in feminine form across cultures and time.

I was reminded today of something that I heard when I was at Kripalu.

The seeker said to the guru: “What is the best practice?”

The guru said: “The practice that you do.”

I looked up the concept of dialectic on google but did not understand everything I read. I had to rely on the idea I had built up over the years. My idea of dialectic is also known as Marxist dialectic.

Thesis- antithesis – synthesis.

This makes since to me.

For example:
Thesis: The law of attraction.
Antithesis: ?

Recently I have had discussions with some folks about this idea of the law of attraction and whether it is right?

The idea is that there is a higher law which is seeking the kingdom of heaven. The law of attraction begins to break down in favor of the story of the manna, God provides.

The law of attraction may be the antithesis.

Thesis: God provides.

Antithesis: We create our own reality.

I am trying to logically draw a conclusion about something that can only be understood through experience. Try it; put your intent on one of these. “God provides”, is the mystical way. The law of attraction is the metaphysical way. Both work. as do countless others.

Synthesis: ??

Perhaps a prayer. Perhaps seeing an aspect of God in another person. Perhaps practicing gratitude and being my authentic self.
