I have been so very busy it has really been difficult to make all of the rounds. But, as you were there today. I myself am finding a very comfortable balance between Eastern and Native American philosophy as a Chrstain. I too have long since learned to look upon my challenges in life as truly only a means to learn something new. Therefore....strife in some forms are actually blessings sent to us from God that we may learn what he is trying to teach us. I am also very,very sad that I missed June 6th. But I have my globe now...and, I have emailed it to Mimi and I am headed now to put it on both of my sites. Thanks for showing up today...isn't it odd how intuition works? Somehow...I he always sends someone my way...just when I need it the most...or, when I am missing something. ~Jackie I am so pleased that you stopped in today.

Thanks for the reminder. Yes, I find several aspects of the law of attraction difficult to wrap my head around. With regard to situations like those that exist in many African countries, I think that there has just been a prolonged influence of negative thinking - such as greed, hostility, or despair - so any change will have to start first with changes in thinking. Fighting against it will only prolong the situation. What is needed is hope and faith in the inherent goodness of people. The good news is that it does not take a majority to effect a change. The higher consciousness of a few can outweigh the lower consciousness levels of the many. Steve,

I don't believe that life is concerned about being "fair" at all, so that really leaves it up to us to change how we deal with it. Hi Jennifer,
Thanks for your comment! I don’t believe that life is concerned about being “fair” at all, so that really leaves it up to us to change how we deal with it.

I’ve felt for a long time that we could change the world if we simply quit complaining about how unfair everything is and pointing our finger in blame. I agree with you that attempting to create a fair society via external force won’t cure things, but creating a fair society via internal personal power will. That’s the law of attraction. You know, I study history subjects as a hobby, and it makes it hard to understand this law of attraction stuff when I look at it in a historical context. I’ve been fascinated recently with African history, in particular southern Africa – Zimbabwe/Rhodesia, Namibia, and South Africa. It is an amazing area rich with nature, resources, and culture, but cursed with a horrible violent history (and present). And I have to ask myself, could we end it, by changing the way we think about it? I doubt it. Could the people that live there change it by changing the way they think about each other? No, but it’s a good first step. How many people would have to change the way they think, feel, and act to turn that part of the world into the paradise I believe it was meant to be? Chris,

Whether life is fair or not, there is just something about acceptance and inner peace that removes the judgments and inner turmoil that comes from believing one is treated unfairly. Like you, waiting until life is fair is so NOT the answer! ;-) Warmest wishes and thanks for this great information and inspiration! Jennifer Great article…
