A New(merological) Spin on the Law of Attraction, by Michael Smith

(Article originally published in The Llewellyn Journal.)

The law of attraction is the well-known universal principle of transforming thoughts into reality using the vibrational principle of resonance, or, "like attracts like." And this isn't only something we do to get what we want but actually do all the time, whether or not we realize it.

As vibrational expressions of consciousness ourselves, we are always projecting both conscious thoughts and unconscious beliefs to the universe. However, the universe doesn't differentiate between wanted and unwanted beliefs. The vibrational thoughtform we hold, whatever it may be, is what the universe seeks to match with a reality of like vibration. Also, just as the twelve frequencies of the base-12 numerology cycle (shown above) are general themes or archetypes rather than specific intentions, our thoughts and beliefs manifest from a broad range of possibilities unless we restrict them to a narrow outcome—something we do all too often.

For instance, if you would love to visit Hawaii when you retire and can't stop thinking about the exhilarating freedom that tropical adventure would bring, it is actually the 5 theme of change that you are more broadly attracting. This therefore attracts a variety of experiences into your reality that resonate with that overall energy of change and freedom: maybe you are asked to travel to Mexico on an unexpected business trip, perhaps you run into an old friend who is a travel agent, or suddenly you get invited to a destination wedding in Aruba, all expenses paid.

This highlights the key to effective manifesting: the universe, your Higher Self and your spiritual team of guides know you far better than you do with your physically limited perspective. This is why it's always best to focus your thoughts on the theme you wish to attract rather than its specific form and to let the universe do the rest. If you hold out for a specific outcome, like that trip to Hawaii and only when you retire, you may miss out on many other opportunities and synchronicities in the meantime that would bring you the same type of joy in an even more timely and fulfilling way. So remember, the universe knows you best (please don't tell your mother I said that).

The Law of Attraction 1.0
The way the law of attraction is traditionally described is as a three-step process of focusing your attention on what you desire, maintaining your emotional alignment with that desire, and then allowing the best outcome to manifest without restricting the form it may take. This three-step process of asking, allowing, and receiving is how the law of attraction is typically summed up, and is the way I first learned about it.

Still, like myself, many experience mixed results in following this somewhat simplistic and vague formula. The great news is that the base-12 prime waveform expands and clarifies this process, explaining the specific vibrational principles involved in this powerful tool.

The Law of Attraction 12.0
Actually involving six steps rather than three, this new spin on the classic law of attraction incorporates all twelve themes of the base-12 numerology cycle in a vibrationally balanced way. To explain, let's review what that cycle represents.

The base-12 numerology cycle is what I believe to be the creative blueprint of physical and spiritual duality from which everything emerges, where the first half of the cycle from 0 to 5 represents physically focused themes and the second half from 6 to 11 their spiritually enlightened counterparts inspired by love. As such, each of the spiritual themes from 6 to 11 are vibrationally the result of adding the 6 of love to the physical themes from 0 to 5 (i.e. 0 + 6 = 6, 1 + 6 = 7, 2 + 6 = 8, 3 + 6 = 9, 4 + 6 = 10 and 5 + 6 = 11). These six pairings of 0/6, 1/7, 2/8, 3/9, 4/10 and 5/11 therefore represent the six steps required to manifest in a physically and spiritually balanced way.

Also, to know a theme well within the base-12 cycle is to experience and understand its full vibrational range, essentially the net vibration of the upper and lower waves when combined. This combined wave (shown in grey) is the path of resonance along which we can best resonate with the prime waveform—our path of least resistance to love. Note, too, how the figure-8 path of base-12 cycle follows a forward spin direction along the solid wave from 0 to 12 and a backward spin along the dashed wave from 12 to 0. The solid wave represents the positive polarity of asserting a theme into reality—of projecting our thoughts forward—while the dashed wave is its opposite polarity of allowing potentials to happen—of attracting matching outcomes towards us. As each of the twelve number themes are defined by its probability profile between those two waves and their opposing spin directions, it requires both assertion and allowance to "freeze" a theme's spin in place long enough for it to manifest.

So let's walk through the six steps to understand how they work together as a vibrationally complete and love-inspired process of turning thoughts into reality:

• Step 1: Imagine a potential (0) you are passionate about (6)
• Step 2: Focus (1) on that desire, believing (7) it is possible
• Step 3: Emotionally relate (2) to the feeling of it achieved, knowing you are worthy (8)
• Step 4: Allow synchronicity to guide you (3), trusting it will happen (9)
• Step 5: Be flexible as to the form it may take (4), keeping open-minded and alert (10)
• Step 6: Act on the opportunity (5) once it is illuminated (11)

Here are some additional tips to make the most of the base-12 manifestation process:

• In step 1, use your intuitive senses to identify what truly excites you, not just what you think sounds exciting. We are all unique and each of us have a different picture of what would make us happy, so follow your own inner guidance rather than what appears to make others happy.
• In step 2, make sure you're focusing on what you want (e.g. a supportive relationship) rather than avoiding what you don't want (e.g. a controlling and insensitive partner).
• In step 3, it is important to hold the fulfilled emotion of already having achieved what you're trying to manifest rather than the unfulfilled desire of something you still currently lack.
• In step 4, remember to release expectations and allow the universe to bring to you what is in your greatest good without trying to force a particular outcome.
• In step 5, keep your eyes open for little signs and synchronicities that are leading you towards your new manifestation. Here, you need to go with the flow and follow your intuitive GPS for what feels right. And above all, be patient as impatience is just another flavor of lack that will work against your best efforts to attract abundance.
• Last, in step 6, have the courage to seize what comes your way. We all have regrets about opportunities on which we didn't act, whether out of fear or complacency. So when positive things manifest, even if they aren't what you expect, grab hold and see where they lead.

Often when manifesting, your new reality takes shape over a series of choreographed steps rather than one big pay day. It's like playing chess; each move brings you closer to your goal but needs to be recalculated each step of the way depending on what the other player does and how the game board develops. We are never creating our reality on our own but rather co-creating with the realities of everyone and everything affected by our choices. Not to worry, though—the universe has a handle on this intricate network of cause and effect. All you have to do is simply trust the process and let the universe strategize your best path.

I have a problem that I'm sure you two have a lot of experience with. I'm a medium/clairvoyant, but I try not to let everyone know this for a number of reasons. While of course there are concerns that people will think I'm weird, the hardest thing for me to deal with is being swamped by people who all want me to read them as soon as they learn what I do. I imagine it's a bit like being a doctor and having everyone you meet tell you about their health problems in hopes of a bit of free medical advice. I don't want to be rude or seem uncaring, but there is only so much one woman can do! How do you two handle psychic hangers on?

Blessings!

Dreamchaser:

First of all, shame on you. It sounds like you want all the benefits of feeling connected to Spirit and none of the hassles. You only want to tell who you want, when you want. Is that about it?

Well, thanks very much for letting people like me and Astrea (who are out about being psychic with everyone all the time) take the heat!

I personally enjoy helping people realize that spiritual readers of any kind are normal, everyday people who have to go to the grocery store, the hardware store and the post office, just like them.

I like folks to see me in my daily life. I get to teach them by example what an ever-growing, imperfectly human spiritual being can be. I think that's one of the greatest gifts I can give to humankind.

I can tell anyone a psychic prediction, but I think my best teaching comes by allowing people to watch me in my daily life. I love knowing that people see or sense something different about me.

My best friend is also a great psychic reader, and we have a wonderful time exchanging tales about how people react to us. Lots of people start telling us their entire life stories just because we said hello to them. They just open up to us.

Of course, they may not be sure about us at first, but once they see us living normal lives, they realize we're not so scary. You've been given a gift, not a toy that you can pull out and play with when you choose.

Secondly, shame on THEM! Of course, there are freeloaders in any profession - that is just a fact of life. Like you mentioned, I'm sure that doctors are constantly asked to take a quick look at this or that.

Every doctor I ever knew would smile and say, Call the office on Monday and I'll get you in. Most folks will accept that answer and retreat, so you might say, Well, let's set you up an appointment for a reading. When are you available?

Instead of letting other people affect you so much, you have to take charge. By offering to stop what you're doing and set up an appointment for them, you are being polite, not rude. You're letting them know that you are a professional, just like doctors and lawyers and everyone else.

I'm sure you will also meet people who ask you a lot of questions about your gift and how it works just because they are fascinated by such matters. Take the time out to answer those folks.

Everyone is psychic on some level, for everyone has a sixth sense, and we can help foster that ability in the people who ask us about it.

I wish you the wisdom to be a great example!

Astrea:

My dear friend is also a psychic reader, and for a while, her neighbor would arrive on her doorstep daily, asking to have her cards read. She finally got fed up with her and said, I don't need any cards to tell you that you've messed up your life! That was the end of the neighbor's visits.

There are people I hear nothing from for months at a time, and then I'll get an email that says, Hi, how are you? Here is my problem, what do I do? Sometimes I answer them with a reading, and sometimes I don't.

When I don't, I simply tell them I'm not doing free readings right now. I can usually feel when someone just wants to emote versus when they are sincerely in need of guidance. I can't turn down a sincere appeal, but since they are so few and far between, they don't take much of my time.

My friends only ask me to read for them if they really need guidance, and they usually offer to pay, though I usually won't let them. Since they learn fast not to endlessly bug me about it, I don't mind doing it every now and then.

I know you don't mind helping your friends. The problem is there are TONS of people who are just looking for fun and wasting your time as a result. Over the years I've found it's easiest to say, Oh, do you want a reading? If you visit me at Kajama, I'll be glad to do one for you.

If they're the sort who won't give up, I might say, Oh Honey, I don't think it would be worth it to you. I charge too much for readings for what you want to know. Most of the time it's not that they want something for nothing, they just don't understand that doing readings isn't a hobby for me, it's how I make a living.

Also, you can always tell them about how people tend to value things based on what they invest in them, so people who pay for readings get much more out of them than people who are constantly angling for free ones.

There are a few folks who simply want to be entertained. Since those people aren't going to be important in your life anyway, I'd just say, I don't do this for fun, it's my job.

As strange as it may make you feel, you're wise not to broadcast your ability to every person you meet. This can even be a safety issue, as not everyone understands what we do or why we do it.

For example, for most readers, this line of work wasn't a choice but a true spiritual calling. Believe me: teaching ballet classes to screaming kids was a walk in the park compared to reading for people!

Some people aren't even open to TRYING to understand that we're not a bunch of fakes who just want to separate them from their money, while other people think we're all going to hell in red dresses.

(I have mine hanging on the back of my closet door, so it's handy just in case!)

Astrea:

Many times in life we hear, "You will always have what you NEED, but not necessarily what you WANT." Your spirit must have needed to experience the feeling of leaving your human body, and the suggestion in the next chapter of Sylvia Brown's book was all it took to get you there.

Even though you hadn't read it yet, your SOUL recognized the title of that chapter as something it had been seeking, and your soul, knowing that you had that reference to read after your experience, got with it and out you went!

While I don't usually recommend her books, Sylvia Brown has a wide reaching and powerful effect on lots of people. A Gemini like you would be able to relate easily to her writing and put it to good use. Synchronicity - you gotta love it!

I like your description of "getting caught." That's exactly what it feels like, isn't it? One minute you're free and hovering above the room, and the next minute, ZAP! back down into your corporeal form you go!

As a little kid, I loved that "feeling of return." With practice, most of the time we can control that event, but sometimes, when our physical ears hear a distracting noise or something else occurs to knock us back into reality, back we go. With practice you will be able to control your return better.

I find it interesting that you were visiting your mother-in-law and not someone in your own genetic family. Evidently, you and your husband got married for reasons that are even deeper than love. His family's interest in "psychic stuff" will nurture your children in such matters and help them to grow into their own abilities.

You'll never have to be concerned that when your daughter visits them, she'll be discouraged from exploring her own psychic life and power. My parents encouraged me to develop my psychic senses in a time when it wasn't nice to even discuss such things in public. Heck, it's STILL not considered a great topic at the dinner table in some families!

Your kids will get to talk about it ALL and ask questions and read and study. This is going to give them such an edge in life! Talk with your husband about how you want to present this to your kiddos, so that you are united in your approach and ready to tell them their experiences are all natural and okay.

A word or two of warning: Geminis often have difficulty staying grounded in REAL LIFE. Don't get so strung out on your ASTRAL life that you neglect what you're doing here on Earth.

You are at the beginning of a long journey to learn where your power really lies. Try to be patient with this process and take your time.
