Law Of Attraction Myth Series:
Emotions & Feelings
Having good emotions and feelings has been said to increase manifestation. Some of it is true, but some of it requires some clarification. Below are some understandings to help you realise the truth:
1. Too much positive and good feelings lead to fantasising and wishful thinking which stops you manifesting.
Fantasising and wishful thinking is not the correct way to manifest. Your objective should be to maintain control of the mind and without a fantasising and wishful thinking mindset creeping in. Here are some additional pointers:
a) When you're making attempts to always feel good, you create imagery in your mind of what makes you feel good. This imagery takes you out of the present moment, so you are not focused on the immediate tasks to reach your goal.
b) Fantasising makes you lack efficiency, focus and direction.
When you lack efficiency, you waste time on trivial things, and not the important things to reach your goal. Also, when you lack focus, you don't realise the significance of wasting time, and so you waste even more time. All in all, you end up going in a direction where you are miles away from the manifestation you want.
c) Fantasising and wishful thinking from good feelings means you lack detachment.
You need to be detached from your goal to manifest correctly. Having too many positive feelings makes you attached to the goal.
Good feelings are obviously a positive thing and will only help you achieve success, since you will have more energy and motivation to succeed. However, it is very important that you control the emotions which lie inside. This is crucial to achieving success.
2. Good feelings cloud the importance and significance of things to reach your goal
When you are feeling good, you become oblivious to potential issues which you may experience. It can make you feel "too positive" and not see the obvious stumbling blocks which can keep you back:
a) Feeling good masks the genuine bad signals which come to you.
Your mind sends signals to you and lets you know when you are off-track on your manifestation efforts. Therefore, you need to make sure you aren't masking those signals with too many positive feelings. Positive feelings can "cover up" the valuable signals which your mind is providing for you.
b) Feeling good gives you a false sense of security.
Feeling good is without a doubt, a signal of good thoughts. To achieve your goals though requires acceptance of the present situation and focus towards your goals.
Y
ou need to make sure that you are being authentic and are totally aware of the present situation you are in. If you are too detached from present reality, you will do things expecting a positive result and not achieve it.
3. Emotions are unpredictable and lead to lack of control of the body.
Control of the mind and body leads to manifestation. Emotions can change very quickly, and even in a static state, emotions signify lack of control. Lack of control means failed manifestation:
a) Emotions increase and decrease all the time. This means you're at the mercy of your emotional state and are not in control when your experience changes.
b) Emotions lead to more emotions. This is an automatic function, which means that you will increase in the lack of control you have, therefore losing focus, direction and momentum towards your manifestation.
More evidence that feeling and emotion is useless for manifestation:
John Rockefeller is a great example to use here. He was said to be the most emotionless person you could ever meet, and he was the world's richest man of all time with a fortune of $325 billion. If emotions were so important, then home come he managed to achieve so much, with literally no emotions and feelings?? It's because feelings are not a manifestation secret. In fact had Rockefeller had feelings like advocated in law of attraction circles, he would have achieved nothing.
Don't get me wrong. It obviously helps to feel good about yourself and be positive and optimistic inside. However, giving this area an emphasis to manifest is a waste of your manifestation time, as it literally doesn't do anything.
Key Points To Remember
1. Emotions change all the time, and go up and down all the time. Therefore, you need to contain your emotions, or end up losing too much of the control of your mind and body, which leads to no manifestation.
2. Good feelings and emotions can mask the reality of your situation by hiding bad emotions and situations which you need to deal with. Therefore, containing your emotions allows you to see the truth of your situation and act to improve on it.
What To Expect/Conclusion
Feeling good and having positive emotions only has a slight effect to improve your self-esteem, and nothing else. It has no power to manifest and will make no difference whatsoever. The true secret to manifesting is YOUR MIND and structuring your mind in accordance with mental laws. That system is called The Laws Of Mind and is available to you on this site.
