Being an allower - continued

I feel the urge to continue writing on the subject of being an allower.  Something happened today that made me feel that I must share it in order to offer clarity on this subject.

Just a few months ago I took a couple of hours and cleaned out my son’s toys – he has so much stuff. Like other children, his toys hold his attention only for a little while and then the fun is over and it’s on to the next thing.  There were boxes of toys that he had not played with for a very long time, so I took him down into the basement and we went through everything and brought stuff to the goodwill store close to home.  Then last week, my son brought home an assignment that involves creating a 3D display of an animal of his choice in its natural habitat.  Guess what, we had just got rid of all the plastic animals he had collected as a toddler.  Soon as I saw the assignment my mind raced to the words I had hear my mother say “soon as you get rid of something, then you need it”.  
Of course, that is why we never get rid of things.  Over the past few years I have been cleaning out the house and making it lighter.  As a result, I feel lighter.  It is good to know that I don’t have to hang on to things and that when I need something the perfect opportunity for getting it will arise.

I bit my tongue, because I was going to repeat my mother’s words.  I realized that if I voiced them then my son would learn them.  And that is not what I want to teach him.  I want to teach him that he can have what he wants when he wants it.  Isn’t that what the law of attraction is all about? When we hoard aren’t we coming from a perspective of lack that says “I must hang on to this thing because I may not be able to manifest it again”, whereas the law of attraction says, whatever we want can be ours.  I want to teach my children how to live with the law of attraction in their lives, by the example of my life.

Being an allower to me means that I must not communicate my negative beliefs.  

If I want to get rid of them why would I give them to other people, especially my children?  To me being an allower means that I should not offer negative beliefs that would instigate confusion or worry or anxiety to others.

Think about how many times in a day in our communication with other people we voice our preferences and opinions, and state them as the absolute right.  For example, saying something like “don’t eat that, it has too much sugar”.  First of all, eating too much sugar is not good for me only if I believe that to be the truth, and it does not have to be the truth for another person, for all I know their body is perfectly capable of metabolising the sugar and remaining healthy.  What if that person had never thought of it before?  Now I have introduced a thought into their minds that did not need to be there.

Wouldn't it be so much better if I could measure my words before offering them? 

Did you watch the Oscar Awards last month? There was this one video clip that went viral on YouTube.  It was called “the funniest acceptance speech ever”. I thought it was the most endearing thing I ever saw an actress offer in public.  She was so totally natural.  She was being asked the standard questions, but her responses were priceless.  Someone from the media made a comment and asked her a question “so you’ve been so successful at such a young age, are you afraid that it’s going to be hard for you to keep this up” or something to that effect.  The shocked look on her face was priceless as she said to him “thank you, I had never thought of that before, but now you’ve mentioned it you’ve made me afraid” or something to that effect.  And isn’t that the way it always is? We tend to ask people if something makes them nervous or anxious and even if they didn’t think so before, based on the feedback they receive from those around them they could start thinking “hum…everyone seems to think that there is something here to worry about, I hadn’t thought of it before, but I guess they must be right – I guess, I’ll just start worrying now.”  Doesn’t that sound absurd?

So the less said the better.  This come from my mother as well, and I think it was good advice “open your mouth when you have something good to say”.

I am so glad I found your post today. I can totally relate to your understanding of Abraham's teachings.
Years ago I had manifested a lot of what I wanted in my life. Even my own clothing designing company with agents selling every major market in the states.
I was told by my mom when I was a kid that I was very lucky and everything I wanted it will just happen because I was born on a Saturday.
And so it did.
Then one day I overheard my New York agent talking about another designer she was representing, and wondering what had happened. "Her first line was great but she has been going down hill ever since. Maybe she just had just one good line in her"
I remember going down on the elevator thinking about it. It had never occurred to me that it could be possible. Could that happen to me?
I did not know anything about the law of attraction.
Three years later I had lost pretty much everything.
I did not know what was happening.
I remember thinking what else can go wrong?
I could not do anything right, my good luck had fallen asleep and I didn't know what to do. Being angry and bitter I gave up.
That was fifteen years ago.
Couple years ago I had the strongest need to get some answers, I just had to.
I found Abraham on YouTube by " accident".
The answers kept pouring in. I just knew. Never questioned the source.
The Law of Attraction totally resonated with me.
My life started changing and my "little miracles" started happening again.
This time around the process of manifesting is slower. I am just staring to realize how many negative beliefs I established the last fifteen years. The more aware of them I become the easier it becomes.
And the easier it becomes, the easier it becomes.
I just love this Law of Attraction and I love reading posts like yours.
Very uplifting to see how you apply it to your every day life and how wonderful it is to be around kids of all ages that don't need reminding.

Hello Anireka,
What a pretty name you have.
Thank you so much for sharing your story. I find it so very inspiring. It is true that when you ask for answers the answers appear. We are blessed to have gained an understanding of the law of attraction. I think it is an on-going process, you are never done. Much as I have learnt over the years, I am still learning. The only difference perhaps is that now I am learning as well as sharing and teaching.
If you ever feel the inclination to share let me know - it will be a pleasure to post your story for others to learn from. You see we are all teachers.
Much love to you.
Have a perfect day!
Zehra
