"We all have an inner voice, our personal whisper from the universe.
All we have to do is listen -- feel and sense it with an open heart.
Sometimes it whispers of intuition or precognition. Other times,
it whispers an awareness, a remembrance from another plane.
Dare to listen. Dare to hear with your heart."
~CJ Heck


"The Key to the Universe is Love, Together in a
Partnership with Awareness."

Why Life Becomes Contrary
Part 2
by Neale Donald Walsch


There are times when life becomes contrary. It simply goes not, and will not give us what we want -- or anything CLOSE to it. Why IS this? What is going on? If the Law Of Attraction works so darned well, why isn't it working for ME??? That might well be your question.

In our last entry here, we talked about gratitude as the attitude that helps us to best utilize the "always on" power of personal creation. Then we asked ... how can one move into gratitude when the circumstances or conditions presenting themselves are utterly miserable, desolate—or even life threatening?

The answer is: By knowing that every moment in life is an unparalleled opportunity for you to inwardly declare, express and experience the Divinity that lies within you. This is something that is not made clear by a simple announcement that there is such a thing as the Energy of Attraction. That principle must be explained, not merely revealed.

“Inadvertent Selection” is just one little known aspect of Personal Creation that can cause people to think it’s not working. There is also the Law of Opposites, about which people know even less, and which produces the same effect as Inadvertent Selection, but for a different reason.

The Law of Opposites is the second of the five great Principles of Life and it works in perfect harmony with the Energy of Attraction. This principle states that no sooner will you call something into your reality than its exact opposite will also appear —- and always first.

What is this now? What am I saying? I am saying that the moment you choose anything —- any outcome, object, or experience -— the exact opposite of that will come into your life in some way. It may show itself in some far distant quarter, or it may pop up right in front of your eyes, but it will be there, absolutely. It is necessary for the “opposite” of whatever you are choosing to create with the Energy of Attraction to show up, for the reason that life cannot be experienced in a vacuum. A context must be produced in which you may experience what you have chosen.

Because not many people know this, they can easily turn negative in their thinking, just when the Uuniverse was preparing to place before them all that their hearts desired. They do not see the appearance of the Oopposite as a sure and certain sign that they are on the right path, heading toward their chosen objective. Rather, they see it as an obstacle, a blockage.
They experience themselves to be up against the wall, when really they are standing in front of a doorway. Only discernment would allow them to know the difference.

The Law of Opposites is based on the fundamental and founding principle of all life: “In the absence of that which you are not, that which you are is not.”

I know, I know, that’s not a very clear sentence. Let me clarify. Let’s say, for the purposes of illustration, that you wish to experience yourself as “the light.” (Many people, by the way, have actually chosen this. They wish to be The Light—and thus to bring The Light—wherever they are, wherever they appear.)

Now let us imagine for the purposes of this illustration that there is nothing else around you but The Light -— indeed, that there is nothing else in existence but The Light. This would make it impossible to experience yourself as The Light. You may “know” yourself as that, but you cannot “experience” yourself as that. (There is a difference between Knowing and Experiencing, and it is Experiencing What It Knows Itself To Be for which the soul yearns.)

There is only one way to experience yourself as The Light, and that would be to find yourself in darkness. Yet remember, in this example there is no “darkness.” In this illustration, there is nothing but The Light. You, therefore, must create the darkness. You must call it forth. And you will.
