The Breathing Prosperity blog

For any of you who have seen The Secret, there will be a familiar line about how, if you focus on what you really love about another person rather than the things you don’t like, the Universe will set things up so that you ‘zig’ when the other person ‘zags.’ In other words, the Law of Attraction works so that you cannot be in the same space as someone is vibrating with a totally different energy level than you are, at least for long.

Today I have a question, because it seems to be plaguing me as far as what is ‘right’ in this game of understanding and applying the Law of Attraction. If you are in a relationship with someone there will be things that you wish the other person would change…if you are in it long enough! Knowing about Law of Attraction, you may decide instead to look inside and see what you are doing to create whatever the situation is, and if the actions of the other are destructive, you may choose at some point to end the relationship. My question is this: at what point do you draw the line?…What if the other person’s actions are not harmful to you, but somehow you feel you need or want something more/different and you realize it is not fair to expect anything of the other person than to be who they are…? If we are absolutely in control, then we should be able to create the perfect relationship with just about anyone…thus there should never be a reason to leave ie. if we change ourselves enough, any relationship should work out. Of course I am not discounting the desires, and level of maturity, development, etc., of the other party; this is merely a concept I keep kicking around and cannot seem to find a solid answer. I have been asked by many people who are unsure of the point at which they should give up on a current relationship, and I’m asking myself the same question. After ensuring they are not staying out of fear of being alone, how does one decide? If there is already a relationship with a lot going for it, how do you know whether to focus on enjoying the good parts (ie. make those expand in your consciousness and in reality), or to really go for having everything you want, 100%…?

I always seem to enter into the most unusual conversations, and yesterday the conversation was no different. Maybe if I stopped talking to Shauna, LaKeitha and Peggy, then I could have normal conversations like what color is the rainbow, how bad the weather is or how the cow jumped over the moon (by the way my uncle says that’s a stupid thing to teach kids – cows jumping over the moon who ever heard of such a thing – please don’t let my uncle read this blog). You know I’m beginning to think my sense of humour is shared only by myself, as I seem to be the only one laughing at my jokes.

Anyway, as one of the usual culprits to my unusual conversations LaKeitha and I started having a conversation where I blurted out  ‘By the way I was driving and I could have sworn this rapper was singing an affirmation.’ So it’s got me thinking: are singers/rappers actually singing or rapping affirmations?

Who hasn’t listened to Celine Dion as she sang My heart will go on and made you want to go out and find someone to love? I remember Mary J.Blige No more drama album made me not want to have anymore drama in my life. Alanis Morrisette made me start to think Isn’t it Ironic; Kirk Franklin’s Imagine Me made you want to imagine yourself diffrently; James Brown’s I feel good made you, well, FEEL GOOD.

I just heard Dixie Chicks’ Not ready to make nice and you know what? Now I’m not ready to make nice either. If you’ve ever belted out any of these songs then you know where I’m coming from…most singers or rappers write their own songs from their own life experiences, and write about what’s going on in their world at that moment in time. Their thoughts go into their songs which they sing with a lot of feeling – ie. Law of Attraction; thoughts, feelings manifest in physical form.

So what happens when you hear a song on the radio, you feel so much emotion through their music and words that it moves you, and you sing along and you feel those feelings and you set in motion a thought and strong feelings to the Universe? The Universe doesn’t know the difference between a song and what you truly want. The Universe just responds to feelings and thoughts without fail.

I remember quite a few years ago as I was pregnant and incredibly unhappy with the father of my child and his behaviour. I happened to hear a newly released song from JOJO Get out right now – It’s the end of you and me – It’s too late and I can’t wait for you to be gone.  Well I tell you what – soon that song became my affirmation as I felt those feelings and soon I was telling this guy to GET OUT RIGHT NOW. As a matter a fact, every time I hear that song I think of him. 

Depends on the song you are listening to; I know Alanis Morrisette was making me think how ironic life truly is and how good things in life get dragged out from underneath you – Guy wins the lotto and dies the next day, rain on your wedding day, getting a free ride when you’ve already paid…man life is harsh…

Which brings me to an interesting point. Have you noticed what rappers are rapping about these days? I got money in the bank or Make it Rain – ie Money it Rain Money – from Fat Jo…as a matter a fact a lot of these rappers sing or rap about their pile of money, which results in piles of more money. So what happens as you listen to Beyonce tell the guy to put all his stuff in the box to left? You feel emotion, which is energy in motion, and that energy eventually has to manifest somewhere in your life – Law of the Universe.

We talk a lot about concious things that you manifest but what about the unconcious things you are putting in motion? Most people can see that coffee you put into motion, or that dollar bill, but the majority of their lives they can’t really figure out when they set that into motion. The Universe doesn’t pick or choose what it will bring you; it just brings you what you ask for whether you realize it or not.

In our Love and Gratitude Program (not available at this time) we tell people to listen to a love song before you send out love, as you feel love during or right after that. Your heart is open – usually a pretty hard feeling for people to generate on the spot. I know if I want to stir up some angry feelings, I just pop in some 50 cents and look out! because everyone one gets the brunt of my anger.  So it begs the question: Are singer/rappers feeding you affirmations?
