Fear Driven Attraction

The laws of attraction can be summed up in one sentence: “What you think about, you bring about.” So happy thoughts = manifesting more things to make more happy thoughts and the same is true for every other emotion. Emotions greatly influence the way we think, and the more powerful the emotion, the more powerful the attraction.

Fear is one of the most powerful emotions. If you’re worried or anxious about things, the universe is going to toss you more situations to be worried or anxious about. This is what I spoke to in the video above and relayed in an extended metaphor about a King in a castle with no locks… you’ll just have to watch because I have something else to share in the following paragraphs.

The Current State of the Economy – Recession

This post is all about fear driven attraction, so you can probably already guess where I’m going with this.

Now I already mentioned how emotions drive attraction at an incredible rate. Now what happens when you have a collective conscious experiencing the same emotions over a lifetime or during the same time periods? Really really really big things start to happen.

Economists and financial experts can talk all they want about the housing market crashing, and the stock market doing this or that etc. While many people would say these are the reasons for the way things happened. I would consider them symptoms of what actually happened.

I want you to think for a moment, about a group of people that lived through the Great Depression. Who were those people? The parents of the Baby Boomers – people born between 1945 and 1960 (basically). They lived in a time where money was pretty tight and bread lines were quite likely to be a part of their experience. For many individuals, those times were very emotional and left an imprint on them forever. As they grew up they were more cautious with money and more likely to be frugal or stingy with it.

They passed all these feelings onto their children, the boomers.

The boomers worked hard throughout their lives to fight the thoughts of scarcity. They weren’t going to live like their parents and they sure as hell weren’t going broke. They put all their money in investment vehicles. Anything from real estate to stocks and bonds and God knows what else.

And then there was this little thought festering in the back of everyone’s mind, mostly subconscious. It’s impossible to make a blanket statement about this, but I can only imagine that many of the boomers accumulated their wealth from a place of fear or scarcity - “I don’t want to live the way my parents did,” or something very similar.

The universe, in its infinite wisdom, needed to show everyone that they weren’t crazy, that there is something worth fearing. Then the economy crashed. And now we find all the same turmoil and desperation in our citizens as we did almost 80 years ago in the United States through the Depression.

Collective conscience. Fear Driven Attraction. Don’t believe me? Think about how you grew up. Did your parents tell you “Money doesn’t grow on trees?”

Now think, does my current financial situation reflect a reality where money doesn’t grow on trees? Meaning, is it lacking in abundance?
