Law of Attraction and self-censorship

In a recent ask, someone expressed anxiety about opening up to their best friend about the amazing things that have been happening to them. Why? Because they’d formulated the impression — from various sources — that if you speak with someone who has doubts, this will encourage you, yourself, to have doubts and that, in turn, your own doubts will alter the course of things and block you off from the otherwise amazing things that might be in the pipeline. In other words, they expressed a worry that, by talking to someone who is a skeptic (regarding something that was very much important to them and for which they had high hopes), they would be attracting the outcome that ran in opposition to their hopes on the matter.

Here’s how I see things.

It’s good to be aware of who you’re talking to and how they’re going to treat what you're going to share with them. Spiritual awakenings, certain kinds of soulmate and twin flame connections, and psychic gifts are terra incognita for a lot of people, and many of these people are less than open-minded about it all. Makes sense: we all have some trepidation in the face of things we do not personally have experience with (or things we do have experience with, if that experience has been painful or otherwise difficult).

While it can be very beautiful to connect with people who are supportive of the burgeoning love and lightness that we feel and who encourage us to trust our hearts and believe in our own deeper senses and intuitive impressions, it can be, also, exactly the opposite when we encounter the opposite kind of people. That is, when we encounter naysayers, sometimes their doubts reflect doubts already within us, and finding our own doubts magnified can sort of stunt our process of discovery.

There is nothing wrong with either possibility; whatever we experience is exactly what we need, at that moment, in order to make our way to a level of greater clarity and peace.

My thoughts are, if it feels right to try sharing with someone — try it. If it doesn’t, no need. If it HAS to come up, it will. (Example: I tried hiding from my best friend for MONTHS some crucial details of my twin flame experience. The universe made it pretty obvious though that something had happened with that guy — from the very first time my best friend and I ever hung out. I eventually opted to tell him, inspired, in great part, by the universe’s frequent “signs” suggesting that he was, indeed, meant to know.)

Sometimes we can just sense that it won’t be fruitful for us to talk to a given person about some topic or other. That’s fine. If something in your gut tells you that that person would be capable only of offering unbalanced, ungrounded, and/or fear-based advice, why go there? You’d likely find that, instead of being able to unburden your heart or share your joys, you’d be pressed to devote a lot of energy to defending yourself and your ideas. Who wants to spend their energy on that?

But don’t worry that talking to the “wrong” person (by accident or otherwise) is going to set a negative mood and engage the L.O.A. to rip that blessing from your life. The blessings that this universe intends for us are far too important (and on such a high, loving vibration) that pessimism won’t hold them at bay forever. In other words, what is meant to be “yours,” will, be this blessing a relationship, a gift, a healing experience, etc. Your pessimism might slow things down and make stuff harder for you, but what is destined won’t be halted forever. And any doubts you encounter along the path before you receive it? They are probably just part of your path. :) Because learning how to face doubts and dig deeper into our own truth, regardless of what anyone else might be saying, is also an important lesson the soul learns.

Remember this also: self-censorship, when not motivated by love (e.g., biting your tongue because you want to be compassionate), is motivated by… fear. Do you really want fear to dictate the conversations you will and won’t have, or the people you will allow yourself to talk to? Consider whether your own energies of fear are holding you back from accepting the gifts in your life for what they are.

Hope this makes sense, everyone. I’ve written it quickly, and the law of attraction isn’t my area of expertise. I’m sure there are those who would disagree with me, but my sense is that while, yes, it can make things harder for you (emotionally and “energetically”) to surround yourself with and confide in skeptics and naysayers, it is ultimately going to be up to YOU to pull yourself up from any cynicism in your life anyway (or, at least, to strike a more balanced, stable outlook on things), so it’s not the talking to them, in itself, that will hurt. It’s more important to ask yourself WHY you want to confide primarily in people who don’t support you as you continue to grow, and consider whether any changes in your relationships may be in order.

Either way, when you’re dealing with blessings like life-purpose opportunities, twin flame partnerships (also a life-purpose-related opportunity), and so on, I feel like these cannot be indefinitely held off. They are so integral to the highest good in the cosmic unfolding that they WILL find a way — through and beyond your doubts.

So don’t be scared.

Peace and love, Laura
