Everything Produces in Kind

Don from Canada is this weeks winner. Yee ha!
——————————————————
I have something very special to share with you.

These powerful words are shared by David Cameron Gikandi. He was a consultant on the movie, THE SECRET/

Enjoy!

Everything Produces in Kind
Today we would like to notice a very simple, universal yet
hardly noticed principle of life. Noticing this will
dramatically improve your life in all areas and situations -
relationships, health, career, business, politics, sports -
all areas of your life. Sometimes the simplest of things are
the most powerful yet least understood. Let us look at one
such simplicity. Here it is:

Everything produces in kind.

An orange seed produces orange trees, which produce oranges.
This you can count on.

A frog gives birth to frogs. This you can count on.

Water evaporates into steam. This you can count on.

So what can you not count on? The impossible. You cannot
count on the impossible. The impossible is this:

You cannot count on an orange seed growing into a banana
plant, for that is impossible.

You cannot count on a frog giving birth to a gorilla, for
that is impossible.

You cannot count on water evaporating into steel, for that
is impossible.

In other words, everything produces in kind, and trying to
go against this is impossible and at best a pure waste of
energy resulting in pain and no result. Try it if you don’t
believe it.

Here is a bigger insight into this: Everything gives rise to
that which is like it, only in a different form. So the
orange seed, tree and fruit are one and the same thing, only
appearing in different form. The frog, egg and tadpole are
one and the same thing, only appearing in different form.
The water, steam, clouds, ocean, and ice are one and the
same thing, only appearing in different form. Now to expand:
If you did not know what a frog was or a tadpole and saw
them both at the same time, you would think they are two
different creatures completely! If you have never seen water
or ice and saw them both at the same time, you would think
they are two different materials!

Ok, fair enough. It is easy to see how this is so with the
physical world around you, but what does that have to do
with your life and life affairs?

Simple. Everything gives rise to that which is like it, only
in a different form. Sometimes, if you are not aware of the
big picture, your mind may get tricked into thinking there
is no relationship between things that are obviously
related. And this is what happens all the time. It is the
norm rather than the exception. Watch.

We all know that our lives arise out of our thoughts. You
are reading this now because, by a chain of choices you have
previously made, including the choice to read to this point,
you have thought of reading such material before. In other
words, if it was not in your mental interest or field of
attention, you would never have read this article you are
reading now. Sometimes in your life you have seen a clear
connection between your thoughts and the world arising
around you. at most other times you have not seen this
connection and thought even that you were a victim of
circumstances. Now is the time to see that, truly,
everything gives rise to its own kind. And this is how you
do that:

Your thoughts give rise to like thoughts, words and actions.
If you think a thought A, it will and must, under all
circumstances, result in an experience in your world that is
exactly like thought A, only appearing in different form. In
practice, this means that you worry about things because you
worry about things. It means that the very act of worrying,
which by definition is the consistent and excessive thinking
of the worst case scenario, is that which gives rise to
conditions that make you worry even more.

Again, every thought you have gives rise to experiences and
results of its own kind. This is sealed and unbreakable. To
simplify, w happy thought results in happy conditions and
experiences, and a destructive thought results in its own
kind, and these can never be interchanged.

To simplify even further, worry results in conditions to
worry about, and anxiety results in conditions to be anxious
about. That is how your world arises out of yourself.

Now, we need your attention here for the next statements. So
please pay full attention now. There is no point to worrying
about anything. You worry because you think that worrying is
doing something about it and hence by worrying you believe
that you will help prevent disaster. You worry because you
believe it works for you. And when the events you were
worried about finally come about, you feel justified, that
you were correct in worrying about them because, look, here
they are now! The truth is, the worrisome conditions came
because you worried about them. Everything gives rise to its
own kind. You worry, and sooner or later you are faced with
the circumstances you worried about, or something similar in
context and essence but different in form and appearance.

Worry, or any negative thought, will under all circumstances
give rise to negative external outcomes. Never, under any
circumstances, will it give rise to positive outcomes
because by definition worry is the envisioning of the worst
case scenario. Remember, the connections between the causing
thought and the resultant effect may not be obvious to you,
but be assured that even if separated by space, form and
time, a thought always gives rise to a matching result.

It is interesting to note that Jesus is quoted in the New
Testament as having said “be anxious over nothing”. Worry is
useless, because at best it can only disrupt the desired
positive outcome, and at worst bring about a negative
outcome. There is not a single instance where worry can work
positively. So why bother do it any more?

Now let us look at the grand daddy of this universal law
that guarantees that everything produces of its own kind.
Where is it most clearly given to us? In just about all the
worlds major religions, no matter where they come from or
how they started, they say one thing: you were created in
the image and likeness of the Original Creator. The Creator,
by extension of Itself, creates that which is like It in
essence, though not necessarily in form. Form changes all
the time, but essence is eternal. The only reason you do not
experience yourself with the magnificence you would imaging
the Creator possessing is because (and again this law comes
in) you have put forth and held a thought that your not that
which you are, and hence you experience that as well. And
that is why all spiritual streams emphasize on going within,
waking up, remembering, recognizing your unity with Oneness.
And this is how deep this law goes, that like produces in
kind. Whatever thought you hold in mind, whatever belief,
you will experience it in your reality, even when it is
contrary to truth, in which case you would be experiencing
illusion, but you will, under all circumstances, experience
that which is like the thought held.

Where else have you seen this law talked about? You have
seen it in more places than you may remember. Here are some
examples: birds of a feather flock together, you reap what
you sow, you shall know them by their fruits, karma, what
goes around comes around, do unto your brother… You know
the rest.

Now back to your life. Life can be dramatically simplified
if you just always remember this simple law. You need not
fight against anything, cause fighting against results in
conflict, for resistance is born of conflict and thus births
conflict. If you find there is something in your life you do
not like, simply choose another. If you don’t like having
little money, simply stop worrying about money, stop
thinking of situations where you may lack money, stop
speaking and thinking from the position of poverty. A poor
thought gives rise to poverty, a rich thought gives rise to
wealth. It is very simple. And this applies to all areas of
life, even in relationships and health.

Let us look at what works and what doesn’t:

Flowing from a mental and emotional position of abundance
results in wealth, but struggling and working hard from a
mental and emotional position of lack results in tiredness
and little wealth, no matter how long you do it for.

Flowing from a mental and emotional position of peace
results in peace, but protesting and fighting against war
from a mental and emotional position of conflict results in
conflict and polarity, no matter how long you do it for.
Don’t believe this? Well, ask yourself this: If everyone in
the world fought against a cause they believed to be worth
fighting for, all 6 billion people each with a justifiable
cause to fight against, what would happen? Now, what if all
6 billion people held peace in their mind, regardless of
what everyone else does, what would happen then?
Impractical, you say? You haven’t tried it yet. I guarantee
you that holding your own peace is the most effective way to
peace. No matter how big this planet gets, it still comes
down to what each person does, and hence the sovereignty and
power of an individual is guaranteed high and capable. Every
invention, revolution or leap started with one person,
spreading to more. But that is another topic all together.
For now, remember this simple law and live by it, and your
life will simplify and multiply under a new clear direction.
If you wish to know more, see http://www.imagesofone.com.
Remember, everything gives rise to its own kind, so direct
your thoughts deliberately, and under all circumstances, be
anxious over nothing.

Pam from the USA is the winner of this weeks Lawttery of Attraction

——————————————————————————-

So what did happen to the Bald Guy in a Blue House the past couple of months?

Hmmmmmm

Well let’s take you back to my niece’s birthday party.

You remember, Meadow turned 1 in May. 

How appropriate that the party was held in a meadow.  Which by the way is where she lives with her mother, my sister Arlene, and dad Pete in a big tent.

Yes I am not joking.  Their beautiful tent is called a Yurt.

Wikipedia`s definition  is

A yurt is a portable, felt-covered, wood lattice-framed dwelling structure traditionally used by nomads in the steppes of Central Asia.

The Yurt

By the way Pete and Arlene are now Movie Stars.  They were at the Toronto International Film Festival on Friday Sept 11. because they are featured in a movie MY TOXIC BABY.  Here’s a trailer for the film http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=FMDEYPL59go

Pretty cool.

And get this.  The movie will have it’s television premiere on Friday September 25th at 8 pm ET on Global TV (in Canada)  ”Currents”. 

Arlene also wanted to add this, “As a BIG Disclaimer, the narration in this film states that we …” eat only the food they grow”. This is not true. Not by any means. There was some creative license taken here. But we would love to claim that “…we eat only the food that we, or those we know grow”. If you can help us out with this….get in touch!”

Now let’s return to why I haven’t had much of presence online these past few months.

You see my day starts usually at 5:00 am.  I am out the door by 5:40 am and most nights I don’t return home until 8 p.m. 

Ouch.

I know.

That leaves 2-3 hours to clean up, eat and choose what I should be doing with my computer time.

Also my computer was being difficult most of the summer. 

Acting strange and slow.

Hmmmm.

And to top it off I had guests staying at my house during the week.  Yes some of my co-workers travel over 2.5 hours.

So the Blue House has been full most nights.

Needless to say, I haven’t had much time during the week to keep writing.

Okay Bald Guy, I will give you that. But what about the weekends?

Great question.  We are fortunate enough to have a trailer located on one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever been on. 

And because Debbie’s job allows her an enormous amount of time off during the summer.  My kids and wife are basically beach bums. 

However in order to see my family. I travel 2 hrs to enjoy visits with them on the weekend.  And guess what there is no internet service there.

So these are not excuses.  This is just my life at the present moment.

In the old days I would have been angry and extremely frustrated at my predicament.  However I chose a new course.

I allowed.

When my computer was acting slowly or bizarre. I turned it off.

When my co-workers wanted to engage in conversation about the law of attraction.  I became a beacon.

I was a shining lite . 

Glowing with enthusiasm.

Verbalizing about my understanding how this physical world works.

It was awesome.  I loved those conversations.  It clarified my position and maybe planted some new seeds in others.

When I was basking in the sun on our beach.  This little ditty came to me.

“The more you enjoy what is being offered.  More will be offered to enjoy.”

Brilliant.

This is some of what has been offered to me.

Making a decent living.  Creating art out of people’s landscapes.

So if you are ever in a situation that makes you feel angry or frustrated.

Stop!

And just allow.

In fact I finally realized why I was called to work at Nature’s Palette. 

You see we were having dinner the other night at Jeff Felske’s, my mentor, and he mentioned …..

Well let’s save this amazing story for another time.  It deserves to be on it’s own.  Yee ha!

Hi Dave,

Not sure if something is wrong with your blog, but the dates are out, or else it is not updating. When I clicked on this weeks notification of a winner I got the date of July 13th. I’ve tried refreshing, but it stays the same. I had noticed previously I seem to be missing weeks, altho with one thing and another I had missed several weeks entering - but I did go to see your blog and couldn’t find new entries.

I also finally got round to sending a tweet about your give away, and have scheduled it to run every now and then, so hopefully that will generate some interest for you!

Wishing you heaps of awesomeness (coz you are!)

luv Annie D

Annie Desantis

 

I replied to Annie:

Hi Annie
 
As one of my ardent supporters I feel I have let you down and I ask for your forgiveness.
 
I have had trouble with my computer for the past 6 weeks and finally fixed it a week ago.
 
However I find it very difficult to write recently.  My work has been gruelling both physically and mentally.  On top of that I have had 2 workers staying with me during the week and I find it hard to find time to write.
 
Also my kids are away at our trailer at Long Beach most of the summer.  The only time I can see them is if I go there on the weekends.
 
I no these are excuses however some things are more important .  I will try and make an effort to at least mention the names of the winners.
 
However  I will promise you that I will keep giving and that The Lawttery of Attraction is happening. The last winner was Mira from Canada.

P.S.  Thank you for your continued support.  I appreciate and I am grateful for your tweets.  You Rock!
Annie responded:
Hi,

lovely to hear from you, please don’t feel you need to ask forgiveness, and definitely don’t make yourself feel bad! You are doing what you need to do in your life at present, and sometimes it does get a bit much to fit it all in! We all get to overwhelm at times (no wonder your computer had a meltdown!) I’ve been getting the auto replies saying the competition has closed, so I couldn’t figure out why I couldn’t get your blog to update!

MOST importantly do the things you feel most inspired to do, or if it is things you are feeling you have to do in your present circumstances, then find a way to feel good about that. Seems to me your major focus is your family - either bringing in money to support them, or wanting to spend time with them. That’s more important and worthy than pretty much anything - our kids grow up incredibly quickly and we have to spend as much quality time with them as possible. You are such a wonderful role model for your kids, they have chosen you well!

Go gently on yourself my friend,

love Annie D

Thank you Annie for your encouragement and support.
And this from Carol who I went to high school.  Her words actually inspired me to take action and  keep this amazing project, The Lawttery of Attraction, moving forward.
Hey Bald Guy in the Blue House,

I’m not sure why i’m writing this and I hope you don’t mind, but I think the motivator needs some motivation.

Maybe the universe sent me…or maybe not, but your last entry in your Blog was July 13 and I don’t want you to lose sight of your dreams, David.

I think you’re busy and it’s summer and all your left over energy needs to go to your family….but i’m issuing you a challenge….10 minutes a week for your blog…that’s my challenge to you…or you can get one of your guest writers to write for you…sometimes…

I’m just worried that being away too long will slow down the energy and some readers may also disappear….

Sorry…I hope you’re not mad….I just took a gamble that sometimes all it takes is a reminder from someone you don’t know all that well. 

If i’m way out of line (sometimes I am)..then ignore me or write to me and tell me to mind my own business..cause it’s true there’s lots I don’t know…but just in case you just needed a kick in the butt (figuratively, of course)..I thought I might as well be the one…since I love kicking people’s butts and Yuichi needs a day off!!
 

Sincerely,

Waiting to be inspired in japan…and i’m sure i’m not the only one.
——————–

 

Thanks Carol.  You are awesome!

I am grateful for everyone  who took their time to write to me. 

Trust me your words have had a direct impact on my heart. 

 I promise to keep sharing my passion with you.  And I will do whatever it takes to get those pictures up to you by next Monday. 

If not sooner. 

Thanks for playing The Lawttery of Attraction and for reading the rantings of a bald guy from a blue house.

And again 3 cheers for Jerrell for winning this weeks Lawttery of Attraction.  $55.50 is on its way.

P.S. I have a meeting with my boss in  5 hours.  I have asked if I could present him with some ideas on how to make his business more successful (my brain has been going crazy with ideas the past 2 weeks). There will be a little Law of Attraction sprinkled into my presentation.  Let’s hope he is receptive.

P.P.S.  Don’t forget you have to play The Lawttery of Attraction at http://www.IWannaGiveNow.com in order to attract your winnings.
