The Law of Attraction–always functioning, ever present, one-hundred percent of the time. What we think about, we bring about. Due to it, we experience that which is in accordance with our habitual feeling-imbued thoughts. With that in mind, let’s examine the title of this post in more detail.
Most of us are familiar with the custom of tossing a coin to make a determination. It usually plays out as follows: A coin is selected and both sides (Heads and Tails) are shown. A spokesperson for the players involved (perhaps two teams of children) states his/her choice and waits as the coin is tossed into the air. The coin is caught and slapped onto the back of the tosser’s other hand. The covering hand is lifted, revealing the verdict. It’s simple: The team that called it goes first, or plays from a certain end. How that coin toss applies to the Law of Attraction is found through a saying of mine: You can never slice a coin so thin that it won’t have two sides. Please read that again and contemplate it deeply. What do I mean?
Based on circumstances that we witness, it can often be easy to assume that Life, Itself, has arbitrarily divided us into categories, in much the same way as the coin toss. On one side, Heads, we may mistakenly believe that only winners are allowed. They will be the rich, the famous, the ones with the great career, great family, and great health. On the other side, Tails, we may mistakenly believe that only losers are found. They will be the poor, the downtrodden, the ones with minimum wage jobs, dysfunctional families, and poor health. In this article, we’re going to challenge that belief through the Principle of Polarity, which is discussed in a book of esoteric teachings entitled The Kybalion.
All of us are aware of seeming opposites: Hot and Cold; Up and Down; Right and Left. The Kybalion informs us that both (although apparently opposites) are actually just poles, or extremes, of one thing. In the matter of “Hot” and “Cold,” no one can state where hot begins and cold ends; for both are merely differing degrees of the one; which in this example is temperature. So, how does this mystical teaching apply to our lives? It means that if we are experiencing the negative pole of any situation, we can mentally slide our attention toward the other pole, and, thereby, change our attitude. This would be accomplished through deliberate and conscious mental effort. If a situation is unfavourable, mentally toss the coin again–seeking the good that absolutely must be there! ! Please contemplate the following: The Tails side of the coin literally can’t exist in the absence of the Heads side! In time, as we mature as co-creators, we realize that we (via our thinking) possess BOTH sides of the coin about any situation. Each and every time, we may choose to toss the coin again and discover the good that exists within Infinite Living Mind. How, though, could our thinking possibly make any difference in our actual “real world” circumstances that we encounter? The reason is because this “reality” is not what it seems.
This article isn’t a Pollyanna exercise in trite sayings. It’s fact. We are the one having our life experiences, and we are the one labelling them. I’m not denying that challenging life situations will never occur; they do. I’m saying that in every situation we may toss the coin again (applying The Principle of Polarity) and discover the favourable side of the coin. On a grander scale, we may even realize that situations once labelled “bad” were actually blessings in disguise. We can change ourselves (our thinking and attitude) and, thereby, attract more better circumstances.

Dare to dream (and care for one another).
