Inherent within life, and its great mystery, there is a mechanism to facilitate the expansion of consciousness. This we will call the Law of Sympathetic Attraction or as it is more popularly know now the 'Law of Attraction'.nnWe commonly know the law of sympathetic attraction as 'like attracts like'. However, less obviously but equally important, the term also covers the principle that 'opposites attract' - opposites being the polarized extremes of the same principle.nnIn the creation of karma - that which we are holding in denial, in separation, in sub-consciousness as karma, is held at the particular vibrational frequency at which movement was stopped, for example pain, fear or rage. Even held still, that which is denied is held in the magnetic energy field of the emotional body, albeit disconnected from conscious awareness.nnThrough the law of sympathetic attraction, the separation in us, attracts to us a reflection of a corresponding vibrational frequency to that at which it is held. The purpose being, that the external reflection of what ever it is that we are holding in sub-consciousness, is attracted to us to create a vibrational resonance.nnWhen the external manifestation comes, the resonance begins to vibrate what it reflects within us (that we are attempting to hold still). In vibrating, what is held within us is caused to move. When it moves we begin to feel it: and when we feel it we can become conscious of it; when we are conscious of it, we can then be present to it. We can then allow it to move, and allow it the expression it needs to resume its movement and transformation into expansion and life.nnWe release what we are holding by allowing the feelings to move - by feeling and expressing them in appropriate ways. Allowing them to move, allows what is held in denial of life to resume the movement in the expansion and evolution of consciousness; and to be transformed from the fixed frequency and form in which it was held. As we experience such release, understanding often arises from the feelings of what was held and the scripts and behaviors that have been wrapped around it, and thus the subconscious becomes conscious.nnKARMA (Subconscious) > REFLECTION < Resonating / Vibrating > MOVEMENT > RELEASE > HEALING > UNIFICATION > LIBERATION (Conscious)nnIn this way we can reclaim those places from sub-consciousness and separation, and re-unify them into the entirety of our being. Not only do we liberate the energetic life-force that is held still as denied feeling, but we also liberate the energy that is required to keep holding that place still. So, we reclaim our life-force, our 'power' and become that much more present in and to ourselves.nnREFLECTIONS OF SEPARATIONnnThe experiences we have in life, that come to us where we experience pain, separation or suffering of any kind, are reflections of places in us where those energies and patterns are held. We couldn't feel what we feel, unless it was already within us to be felt. Our feelings do not come from outside, they are not created by the external circumstance.nnThe external is not the cause of the feelings; it is simply a reflection of what is already held within us; it serves as the 'trigger'. It is in fact the mechanism of our healing, the means of our liberation. The external, however painful is putting us in the place where our liberation can occur, right here, right now in the present moment.nnEqually, all the unified experiences that life brings us - be they joy, harmony or love - are reflections of what is within us. Scripts arising from separation like "I'm not good enough" or "I'm unlovable" often do not allow us to fully receive, accept or believe the unified reflections, as us.nnVery often what is held within us, is painful, traumatic, uncomfortable, distressing, terrifying, all the things that we didn't ant to feel and probably still don't. So when an external reflection begins to resonate with those places within us, and we begin to feel them, habitually we put even more energy into holding them still and we put even more energy into denying those feelings. In doing this, we add more energy to what it is we are already holding. So the intensity, the quantity of energy that is held increases, and the energy needed to hold it still, and prevent us from feeling it, increases. We tie up more life force, more of our power, and give it over to denial, give it over to sub-consciousness and lose even more presence. This is how Karma perpetuates and holds our awareness in unconsciousness.nnRay Baskerville is a healer, meditation teacher, certified hypnotherapist, yogi and proud father.
