Is the Universe conspiring against you? Here's how to shift that.
“And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.”
Author Paulo Coelho wrote the above quote in his famed novel, The Alchemist.
You may recognize this as a way of stating the universal law of attraction. The idea of the “law of attraction” has been widely discussed in books such as The Secret, and you can find lots of people who promise to help you use the law of attraction to magically manifest whatever you desire.
Do I believe in the universal law of attraction? In a word, yes. Though I have quite a lot of thoughts about it, and about how it has often been misrepresented.
If it were as simple as wanting something and getting it, we’d all have everything we wanted fairly easily, and nobody would live in lack. As my grandmother used to say, “If wishes were horses, then beggars would ride.”
Yet there are hungry people in this world who badly want food and the assurance of regular meals, and they still starve. And there are any number of people who want more money than what they have, yet remain poor or at a lower income level than they’d like.
Probably, you have something or things in life that you particularly want. A different job, or a new partner, or better pay, or a fatter bank account, or a trip to Disney World.
It’s possible that you’ve been wanting one or more things for a long while. And those things haven’t come.
Instead of the Universe conspiring to help you, it may well feel as if the Universe is conspiring against you.
If you’ve been wanting something, and perhaps even trying to use the tips in The Secret or elsewhere to manifest it into your life, it might feel as if the law of attraction is crap.
I get it if you think maybe my belief in the universal law of attraction is misplaced.
But the thing is, it’s not as simple as having a wish. Even if it’s one that you are wishing for very hard.
I believe that the solution requires what I call “aligned alchemy.”
The type of alchemy I’m talking about involves uniting the four elements—air, water, fire, and earth—so that everything is working in harmony. Only instead of working directly with those elements, I’m help you use the corresponding metaphysical quality: thoughts, emotions, actions, and material resources.
Each of the elements has a longstanding association with other things, such as the four suits in a deck of cards (tarot decks or playing cards), and four components of our physical existence.
AIR is represented in the tarot deck by the suit of swords (which is spades in a standard playing deck). Air corresponds to thoughts, ideas, and communication.
WATER is in the tarot as the suit of cups (which is hearts in a standard deck). Water corresponds to emotions, intuition, and personal relationships.
FIRE in the tarot is represented by the suit of wands (which is clubs in a regular deck). Fire corresponds with action, ambition, and the creative impulse.
EARTH in the tarot is represented by coins, discs, or pentacles (and is diamonds in a standard playing deck). Earth corresponds to material resources (such as money), to nature, and to the physical body.
To have success manifesting a dream, it’s not enough to have a single thought, such as “I want a $5,000 raise” or “I want a new partner.” You have to have all areas of your life on board: your thoughts, emotions, actions, and material resources.
You have to quiet your competing thoughts—your inner critic who tells you that it will never happen, or you don’t deserve it, or you can’t have it because [insert reason here}.
You have to get your emotions on board, and believe that the thing you desire can be yours.
You have to take aligned actions toward your goal.
And you have to make sure that your material resources—including how you treat yourself or your money—are also in alignment.
My new one-on-one coaching program, Aligned Alchemy, coaches you to do just this. Because let’s face it—if it were easy to do on your own, you’d already have done it by now. The first three people to sign up for Aligned Alchemy get a special rate of $997. Once those are gone, the price rises to $1497.
