The Law of Attractin... Exoteric or Esoteric?

Those are interested might consider the difference between this law as we understand it through our personalities and in what ways it would differ when view by us as souls.

There are many good posts here which deal with the law of attraction and it's manifested results. These are Earth based however. From the soul's point of view The Law of Attraction is more to do with that which is derived from the tension which exists between polar opposites. In the case of the lower this might be physical creative forces but on a higher scale if is more to do with how consciousness is produced and sustained.

I realize the above is a bit much for this forum but do we ever wonder, truly think about what exists behind it all?

Well, I certainly hope so!

If you would like to expound on how Consciousness is produced
and sustained...I, for one , would love to read it.
Great title for a thread or continue on here.

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru

Consciousness just is as far as I can see...now, awareness is a whole other matter.

It is our understanding that consciousness is not the result of anything but rather a principle unto itself, inherent in all (types of) matter; that it is directly "of" the creator but also that it varies in accordance with "where" it is observed. A single atom is conscious.

If consciousness is a principle then how is it produced?

I can't know Bartholomew's path, but he's speaking of the esoteric understanding, something that's not discussed much on this forum. The spiritual laws underlying the subject, as opposed to the human being's thoughts and desires on the subject. From the esoteric pov, behind every physical-material manifestation is a spiritual principle or impulse. Love is a magnificent principle and impulse for example. The acorn becoming the oak tree is another great spiritual principle and impulse.

The key is in Bartholomew's last comment, "Do we ever wonder, truly think about what exists behind it all?" The answer is mostly no. If we did, people wouldn't ask, "How do I make _______ happen in my life?" People mostly explore their spirituality from a human-centered, material place of inquiry. Whereas the esoteric exploration inquires after and seeks to understand the spiritual laws and principles of creation that underlie physical-material reality and human soul-spirit incarnation. That said, we all have to start somewhere in our understanding journey, and just posting on a spiritual forum is certainly a start.

Likewise people would do the same -- seek to understand those spiritual laws -- when exploring LOA questions. I try to do that in my own way. I speak of higher self interaction as the motivational principle behind LOA reality. It is not what the lower self and ego wants, it is what the higher self requires of soul.

Exactly.
And all the 'empty space' within the atom!
(If you threw a ball from the nucleus of an atom....it would be over 10 miles to an electron, btw.)
May I ask who said what is in the quote box?
