This topic is used by people who don't believe in Law of
Attraction to try to prove their case. They say "if Law of
Attraction is real, did 6,000,000 Jews attract their own
death in the holocaust?"
It sounds like a great argument. All LOA gurus don't like
to deal with this argument. Even my own favorite author
who is a recognized leader in the LOA movement has
responded to this question at her seminars by saying to the
questioner who asked about the Holocaust..."why do you
choose to ask questions about such negative scenarios which
in turn, keeps you focused on resistance in relation to
your vibration?". Now I am paraphrasing what she said but I
have definitely caught the flavor of her response and IT IS
NOT AN ANSWER.
So where to start to give even a glimpse of a proper
answer. I must lay some foundational ground rule
assumptions. This all can be looked at as no more than my
opinion. I 'am not saying that this some written in stone
answer. It can also be looked at as perspectives of
"being'. However, I assure you it is not contrived.
Do adversaries of LOA believe that a human being is just a
higher animal form destined to die into nothingness? Do
they believe that the "being" that is human has any special
powers or is omniscient and omnipotent? In order to
understand my explanation, one would have to first believe
in this foundational assumption... that "beings" who are
human ARE endowed with powers that are omniscient and
omnipotent. That foundational belief can be quite a stretch
for those who argue against LOA.
O.K. so now, assuming, we have a very "Godlike" being
existing in a physical body. We of course must assume that
the "being" has NO LIMITATIONS while the physical body IS
LIMITED to physical laws.
More questions...Do you believe that you, as a human
"being", can manifest any circumstances at all in your own
life? Elsewhere, your life has been represented as your
"canvas". How others view your life is what they are seeing
and surmising from the canvas that you have created and are
demonstrating.
Now we must entertain areas that become even more
questionable to many and those are areas such as mass
manifestations, the mass mind, the sub conscious, the super
conscious and the choices to which any "being" has access.
The choices a being has, are infinite. A human "being" is
by no means a simple creature.
A person's life can be looked at as that individuals
"demonstration" or as stated ...his or her canvas. The
final stroke upon that canvas is the individuals type of
departure or "death OF the physical". There is no death for
the "being".
We have expressions like "the good die young" to quell our
sadness when we see young people die in a car accident or
in battle or die in some atrocious way. We question the
meaning of seemingly senseless deaths, senseless murders,
senseless illnesses, senseless disabilities or deformities
that babies carry at birth. It is all not senseless. These
ARE demonstrations. Could "beings" choose these horrific
demonstrations you ask?
Some believe these conditions are inflicted upon the
individuals by fate, luck, destiny or God. To believe that
is to believe that your life is controlled by outside
forces. To understand my answer to this question you would
have to believe in manifestation, mass manifestation,
freewill, and the omnipotent power of a "being" that is
human. You would need an understanding of the subconscious,
super conscious, and the mystical magic of this powerful
being's choices of demonstration.
Again this sounds like quite a stretch for the average
"human being". Can your imagination make these "stretches?"
The opinion of one's own self can be high or low or
anywhere in between. I, simply, choose ...extremely high.
For some individual being to make the choice that his
personal demonstration will contain such horrific or
atrocious "qualities" is unfathomable for most people. They
"believe" that no individual being would choose such a
seemingly ugly demonstration of life and death.
Let's face it, most people don't believe we choose our type
of death or control the time of our death because they do
not understand the "being". They have no connection with
their super consciousness and they look at life from quite
different perspectives than those that are mentioned here.
Even if you are going along with me purely for the sake of
your momentary entertainment, I realize your mind may be
spinning and flooded with questions and counter arguments.
You might ask and state simultaneously, "this is absurd, no
one would choose such horrible demonstrations even if they
could". My response to that is...Who are you to say what
the perspectives of an individual omnipotent being would be
and what reasons that being might have for making choices
that you as a "human" can not fathom. Now we are coming to
the point.
There is a difference between the physical human and the
all knowing "being". That understanding can take humans
many lifetimes of physical experience to achieve. That
understanding is contained by the "being" before and after
its physical birth and death. It is an awareness quest that
the "human" embarks upon. It has been called enlightenment.
As humans, many of us see death as a tumultuous event. As
beings we see death as no big deal. As beings we see death
as being no more tumultuous than going to sleep at night
and waking up in the morning. To the being it is not only
some simple, matter of fact, transition, but it is a
welcome transition because the being knows that it returns
to what has been called source or the non physical. That
place is adored by the being and feared by the human. I am
speaking of most humans and all beings.
So now, with all this foundational belief information....I
say these mass manifestations in situations like the
Holocaust do not put the "victims" at fault. Other evil
players, like Hitler, certainly played their part in
creating and bringing these events to fruition. Some people
with a distorted view of karmic retribution might say that
the evil players will reincarnate for eternal lifetimes as
a fly in stool. I am not going to get into explanations of
karmic lifetimes but I will say that justice does prevail
especially in the alternate realms. That justice has been
described elsewhere as self inflicted...the most
appropriate of all justice.
To the beings who participated, their choices were holy,
dignified and superior choices. They are, many times, the
choices that only the greatest beings and spirits could
make and they often appear as victimization.
These demonstrations are a way of going to war against
atrocity and teaching by example for generations to come.
These demonstrations expose the perpetrators and defeat
them in a way that no war could ever do. And mostly these
demonstrations are chosen on a super conscious level
totally unbeknown to the human personality. Only the being
knows the growth and expansion that it creates through
these scenarios. Only the being knows why it chose to be
the one to participate, possibly for reasons relating to
its own character and journey.
Step outside the "human" box for a few seconds and sense
your own omnipotence. At that moment you may sense the
magnificence of other beings that have gone before you, are
here now and are yet to come.
Any one who has gone into battle in war could have chosen
not to do so. There are a multitude of options available to
not experience that. Any one who, as they say, fought the
hard fight or took the higher road was definitely not
taking the easy way or path of least resistance. These
questions addressed here are a factor of perceptions. You
must look deep to find answers that strictly relate to the
"being" and not the human. When you look deep, you will be
amazed at the deceptions that the human creates. You will
be amazed at how the being operates in these seemingly
mystical and omnipotent ways even while in a physical body.
I want to say to my favorite author and LOA expert, that
you can not brush these historical incidents under the rug.
You can not tell people "oh don't ask that question and
don't think such negative and resistant thoughts". You are
not giving answers that way. You are just avoiding the
question. At times you too prefer the path of least
resistance. You worry sometimes that addressing certain
issues will be bad press for you. I say practice what you
mostly preach.
