Recently, a woman I have great reason to trust said to me, "I believe in the law of attraction, but I live by the law of alignment."
"What's the difference?" I asked, already loving the sound of this new LOA. (Let's call it LOALI)
"For me, the Law of Alignment incorporates the law of attraction but is a higher law," she said. "It states that when I am aligned with my spirit, and therefore with my purpose, my life flows in the right directions and attracts what I need when I need it."
"So the basis isn't so much getting certain things you've set your mind on, but rather ..." I hesitated, my pause inviting her to pick up the trail of my thought.
"Knowing your own deep truths and moving forward in life based on those truths. Sometimes in the process, things you thought you wanted fall away because you weren't truly aligned with them or aren't any more. And others manifest instead because they are more resonant with your spirit."
"I've had that experience!"
Then her voice went soft and she said to me, just above a whisper, "And therefore, you sometimes manifest things you couldn't possibly have imagined."
A chill went through me. I knew what she meant. In fact, meeting her was an example of that very thing. I'll tell that story a bit later, but for now...some thoughts about LOALI.
