Day 27 Law of Attraction Centering Thought

I am made in the image of the Divine.

The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light.  ~  Luke 11:34

What is the body?  That shadow of a shadow of your love, that somehow contains the entire universe.    ~Rumi

The Greatness Within

Many of the scholars who have written about the Tao Te Ching over the centuries consider this 25^th verse to be one of the most significant lessons in the entire manuscript. In his book, “Change Your Thoughts – Change Your Life, Living the Wisdom of the Tao,” Dr. Wayne Dyer writes that the Tao is synonymous with what is great. There is nothing within the Tao that is the opposite of great – there is nothing that is puny, insignificant, weak, or even average. To begin to know this formless perfection, you must “understand the great within yourself”. Imagine how worthy you can feel if you do understand that the greatness of the Tao is within you.

Unity

Lao-tzu invites you to examine your thoughts and ideas that are inconsistent with greatness. Others in our Wisdom Traditions taught this same phenomenal observation. Lillian Smith in her book, “The Journey”, described it like this:

“The need that one feels every day of one’s life, even though one does not acknowledge it. To be related to something bigger than one’s self, something more alive than one’s self, something older and something not yet born, that will endure through time.”

Dr. Dyer writes that there is a sense of being permanently aligned with a sort of senior partner that is greatness itself. Your greatness is found within you not in a classroom; an apprenticeship; a teacher; or flattering comments from well-meaning family members, friends or lovers.

Building Awareness of Your Greatness

You can become conscious of this greatness that constantly flows through you in meditation, appreciation and the lessening of the influence of contrary points of view. Lao-tzu suggests becoming aware of the planet, its people, and the heavens and see greatness. Then look at yourself and see that you’re a component of them all.

Dr. Dyer suggests that you are not this body you occupy, which is temporary and on its way back to the nowhere from which it came. You are pure greatness . . . precisely the very same greatness that created all of life. Keep this thought uppermost in your mind and you’ll attract to yourself these same powers of creation; The right people will appear. The exact events that you desire will happen. The financing will show up. That’s because greatness attracts more of its own self to itself, just as thoughts of inadequacy act upon a belief that ensures that deficiency will become your reality.

Abraham teaches that when you do clearly align vibrationally with the Source within you – when you feel good and recognize that by your choice of thoughts you have deliberately manifested your desire – you feel your worthiness.

Processes:

A few hints on how to feel your worthiness from Dr. Dyer.

Affirm the following to yourself over and over until it becomes your automatic inner response to the world: I come from greatness. I attract greatness. I am greatness.

Catch yourself in the midst of any utterance that reflects your belief that you’re average. Silently speak warmly to that belief and ask it what it wants. It may think it has to protect you from disappointment or pain, as it probably did earlier in your existence. But with continued accepting attention, the feeling will always eventually admit that it wants to feel great. So let it.

Watch for misbeliefs and give them a chance to transform to what they (and you) really want. Example: It probably won’t happen for me but it is on its way. I get what I think about, whether I want it or not. Then begin the process of looking for even minute evidence that what you desire is indeed on its way.

Keep in mind the ancient axiom; I get what I think about, whether I want it or not. Think about how fortunate you are to have greatness located within yourself.
