I have been deep into writing my screenplay, ‘Take Care’ but doing that thing where I am very involved in the project at hand while tinier fractions of my brain are saying, “We need to finalize Amuse II!” and “When is the last time you posted on the blog?”
Yeah, they’re assholes.
I need time management and outlines, not money men for the mob.
So, I’ve been dedicated in my endeavor while also keeping my eyes and ears open. This morning I saw a post about the Law of Attraction and winning the lottery.
The question posed was this, “If the Law of Attraction is so powerful, then why aren’t the people teaching it, big winners themselves?”
I scrolled through the comments that ranged from “Maybe their core belief wasn’t that of a winner…” or “Too much doubt…” or even “They created resistance by ‘trying too hard’.”
Deep sigh. Hey, I am as delulu as they come. I daydream all the time, you know this, you’ve read about it. And yes, I’ve manifested from these mind movies.
Interviews with David Draiman and Dan Donegan from Disturbed. All it took was watching a bad interview with David where the ‘interviewer’ (using the loosest quotes ever!) asked him about leather pants and sweaty balls.
That propelled me into a constant state of imagining my dream interview and how impressed he would be with all my intelligent questions and no nervousness whatsoever….yeah.
“Calm down my dear,” David Draiman cooed. I survived and dare I say it was a pretty damn good interview.
Let’s see, I’ve also manifested a free limo ride to the BART Station in San Francisco, an almost replica of a house that I had on my vision board (I didn’t win it, but manifested owning it.) and so many other really cool experiences.
But not the lotto, at least not in the big win kind of way.
My biggest win was $6200 at a California casino. Around that time it was nothing for me to win $800 or $1000 most trips…but it wasn’t a job, it was fun.
Why don’t these law of attraction gurus live off their constant winnings if they are so darn talented?
Ready for it?
Here it goes!
I have 2 words for you. Bruce Almighty
Yes, my response to why manifesting coaches and their students aren’t living off the lotto is the 2003 Jim Carrey, Morgan Freeman and Jennifer Aniston led movie.
Do you remember what happens when Bruce (Jim Carey) gets to play God for a day? SPOILER ALERT he screws things up big time. Like…
Granting every single lottery player’s prayer to win the big draw! Yes. Every. Single. Player.
They converge on the studio, where the drawing is held, demanding their big win. “I got all the numbers, so why am I getting $1.50?!”
So, while people want to debate the level of confidence of the player, the manifesting technique itself or a million other aspects, I don’t hear them talk about the competition.
Sure, they will talk about the odds but they don’t put any power behind them.
What happens when two wands with the same Phoenix feather attack each other? A stand off.
If I am confident I am going to win the next lottery then I must be not only more confident than my normal self but I must be more confident than you…times possibly, 1 million.
Here in Tennessee, there are 61 draws per week. Only 61 and some of the drawings, like Mega Millions and Powerball, are multi-state. Many of these players are also students of law of attraction.
And I’m also going to throw a big monkey wrench in there called ‘Sympathy’. I am a caring person so I wouldn’t want to win something if it’s going to take away from someone who ‘really needs it’.
The reason most manifesting teachers don’t promote the lottery, is this: It’s a lot of competition for a limited outcome.
These teachers and their students are usually making their money or receiving their prosperity from experiences they love, like helping others.
While a lottery win sounds exciting, it’s typically not a loving endeavor. I guess maybe if you were buying tickets for the church orphanage…hey that might make a good book or movie.
Speaking of, a woman in the hot seat at an Abraham Hicks event, talked about an experience where she wanted to manifest $25,000. She didn’t know how it was coming but she got excited about it. Out of the blue her friend invited her to lunch and announced, “I won the lottery!”. The woman asked her, “May I have $25,000.” and her friend said ‘Yes’.
Now that sounds fun to me!
Let me know, what are your feelings about manifesting the lottery, the law of attraction, the OTHER laws, or whatever is on your mind.
Until next time, Love and Blessings!
