A human incarnation provides the opportunity to learn more about ourselves, our nature, and our way of Being. Through the teachings of the Law of Attraction, we learn that we attract, or create, in accordance with our habitual thoughts and feelings. We understand that apparently external circumstances are not, in fact, independent; but actually reflections of who we “are.” This may turn some students away, because we’re asked to accept that we have created, perhaps subconsciously, the conditions of our ifle. It demands that we acknowledge more of our responsibility. To explore this at a deeper level, please contemplate the imaginary day in the life of John Doe. It’s a day without the mirror called Life.

Thursday, July 12th: Mr. John Doe (who’s thirty-five, father of three, and a carpenter) drives to his work site, picks up his tools, and begins his day. He hammers nails, saws lumber, and shouts orders to his crew. He climbs ladders, helps raise a wall, and speaks with his foreman. He eats, drinks coffee, and goes to the washroom. After a number of hours, he climbs into his truck and drives home. When he enters his house, his wife asks him how his day went. With a puzzled expression, John replies, “I don’t know. I know that I pounded nails, cut some 2 x 6’s, ate, drank, and urinated several times. “Do you know what you built?” she asks. And to this, he says, “I haven’t a clue.”

As ridiculous as this example seems, it can still help us understand the workings of life. How could we ever know who we were becoming if it wasn’t reflected in our circumstances? Without a feedback loop how would we learn? We could be as clueless as John Doe; who didn’t know whether he was building a bungalow or a barn.

A few questions may help: Are your beliefs about love building wonderful relationships? Are your beliefs about success building lasting significance? Are your beliefs about health creating vigor and a balanced lifestyle? Are your beliefs about prosperity creating a life that’s reflects true wealth? Without the mirror of life, and the reflection of people, experiences, and circumstances, our state of being would remain a mystery. Without the mirror. we could never evolve because we wouldn’t know the outcome of our daily experiments. With this understanding, we realize that life is actually teachings us; it’s on our side.

Our soul task, if we care to embrace it, is to express the best version of ourselves in this moment. And then the next, and the next after that. As nothing remains static, we can only do our best in this moment. The quality of our thinking is integral to our success as human beings and the results that we experience. Choose wisely–the mirror called life is always reflecting.

Dare to dream (and care for one another).

With heartfelt regards,
