The (Not So) Hidden Truth About Jesus & Law Of Attraction

Note: CONTINUED FROM PART 1.

We concluded part one by saying that we'd explore many more similarities between the teachings of Jesus and Law Of Attraction teachers, so let's get right to it.

Jesus taught gratitude as much as LOA teachers.

Gratitude in Hebrew is ‘ydh’ and in Greek is ‘eucharisteo’ (roughly) Some form of the word ‘thank’ comes up about ~71 times in The New Testament, but the actual number of times the idea of gratitude comes up in The Bible altogether is probably quadruple that.

“Give THANKS IN ALL CIRCUMSTANCES; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” — I Thessalonians 5:18

This means to give thanks even for terrible tragedies. Wife left? Give thanks. Lost job? Give thanks. Caused a species to go extinct? Give thanks.

This seems extreme, but Jesus knew that the world (nature / the universe) is operating properly, and that joy and pain, light and dark, are necessary contrasts that are ultimately blessings allowing us to experience life and find our own divinity.

“Be care-ful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with THANKSGIVING let your requests be made known unto God.” — Philippians 4:6

To manifest your desires, pray (meditate) with gratitude.

“Giving THANKS always and for everything…” — Ephesians 5:20

Here Paul echoes Jesus’s teachings, emphasizing being grateful for everything.

You’re getting it, right?

Jesus taught gratitude as a tool for navigating life just as passionately —if not more so— than any LOA teacher you can name.

Plus, Jesus talked about ‘visualization’ as much as LOA teachers.

They didn’t have the word ‘visualization’ back then, so instead they used the word ‘vision.’

Vision is mentioned ~130 times or so in The Bible.

“WRITE THE VISION… For still the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end—it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay.” — Habakkuk 2:3

Habakkuk recounts teachings from the Lord. Namely, that what we visualize will manifest. Writing down a vision for your life and expecting it to come to pass, --aka “creative visualization,” in LOA terms-- is found in The Bible many times. Plus there’s also science that backs up visualization, and it’s especially clear in athletics.

“Where there is no prophetic VISION the people cast off restraint, but blessed is he who keeps the law.” — Proverbs 29:18

Prophetic vision (visualization) is good, so do it.

When Joseph had a vision that he’d rule over his brothers, he was seen as crazy and deluded, but he kept believing in his vision, and it eventually manifested.

Jesus was basically teaching peeps to visualize their sh*t, because if you do, you’re gonna get it.

Speaking of ‘getting stuff...’

...Jesus taught abundance as much as LOA Teachers.

Proverbs 2:22 tells us that God (source) is responsible for manifesting richness or poverty, and Jesus did his best to teach followers that they too can manifest either wealth or poverty for themselves.

“The Lord will open to you his good treasury, the heavens, to give the rain to your land in its season and to bless all the work of your hands. And YOU SHALL LEND TO MANY NATIONS…” — Deuteronomy 28:12

In fact, The Lord encouraged him to envision good people being on the ‘lending’ side of things (ie: they were wealth-holders, not desperate debtors.) Jesus encouraged people to manifest their own income streams, and to do it well.

“Let him labor, doing honest work with his own hands, so that he may HAVE SOMETHING TO SHARE WITH ANYONE in need.” — Ephesians 4:28

“So that you may walk properly before outsiders and be DEPENDENT ON NO ONE.” — 1 Thessalonians 4:12

Jesus and his disciples (Paul in this case) encouraged people to make a good living and be so well-off as to have plenty to spare when others in need came into their experience.

“You shall remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you POWER TO GET WEALTH...” — Deuteronomy 8:18

And verses like…

“God, who RICHLY PROVIDES us with everything to ENJOY.” — I Timothy 6:17

Show that Jesus clearly knew wealth came from source, manifested in many forms, and he had no problem tapping into it.

Do you think Jesus supported a huge staff of brilliant minds, marketed and ministered to thousands, and left a giant legacy… without money? Do you think he did his good works without wealth? Do you think he was a poor, destitute beggar people walked by and ignored?

No?

Then follow in Jesus’s footsteps and manifest abundance. Wise people get them racks, yo. (See Proverbs 21:20)

Jesus taught the ‘law’ as often as LOA teachers too.

Often ‘law’ is mentioned because Jesus wanted to address the countless rules of men, other times it’s because he wanted to teach about the Universal Law.

I won’t get too deep into this, but The Bible mentions some form of the word ‘law’ more than 500 times, just like any book on law of attraction would reference ‘law’ extremely often.

Why? Because The Bible and LOA Books are both about the same thing… manifesting a fulfilling life by leveraging the law (of attraction) in our favor.

And you know what else LOA books use a lot? Affirmations.

And yes, Jesus used affirmations incessantly.

The Bible is full of Jesus proclaiming “I am” this and “I am” that.

I am the truth. I am the gate. I am the light. I am the way. I am the door. I am the vine. I am life.

I am, I am, I am.

Jesus used the (massively powerful) phrase “I am” often, because he knew it was a manifestation tool.

"Jesus said to them, 'Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.'" — John 8:58

Another view is that when he said “I am” he was using it as another name for God (‘source.’) For example:

“I AM the vine; you are the branches.” — John 15:5

Jesus likely didn’t mean that he was personally the one and only vine responsible for all the fruit in the lives of the 8 billion people living on earth today. He just meant ‘I am’ in the sense that The Great “I Am”, God (source), was the vine, and by us tapping into it properly we can manifest wonderful fruits.

And remember, Jesus taught us over and over to follow his example. As in, we ‘should’ all be using “I am.”

He also taught that...

...God is impartial & unconditional, like the law of gravity.

Many Christians see “The Father” as some judgmental deity, looking down and judging everything that happens.

But “The Father” is just a metaphor for source energy. And Jesus knew that source energy doesn’t judge. He knew that it’s impartial, unconditional, and constantly in application to everyone. He knew that anyone could use it to manifest anything they want, without condition, without the label of ‘good’ or ‘evil.’

“By what kind of law? By a law of works? No, but by THE LAW OF FAITH.” — Romans 3:27

Every. Single. Human can use the tool of faith or belief. It is the only law that matters for creating a fulfilling life. It is impartial, unconditional, and accessible by everyone at every moment. Jesus knew and taught this.

He was indeed teaching that anyone can manifest at any time, with zero condition, restriction, or judgment put upon them beyond the simple nuances of law of attraction.

This unconditionality is seen often in verses such as John 15:7, John 5:14, and Mark 11:24, and one of the clearest call-outs about this is:

“GOD IS NOT MAN, that he should lie, or a son of man, that he should change his mind. Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it?” — Numbers 23:19

The Bible explains here that God (source) is an impartial, always-applied law that doesn’t ‘change its mind’ or respond differently to different people. God is a universal energy, utterly reliable and consistent, because it’s not a ‘person’ with a ‘changeable’ mind, it’s a universal law.

Like gravity, the law of attraction applies equally to everyone, at all times.

It doesn’t lie, misguide, misdirect, misrepresent, or change its mind.

Jesus tried so hard to teach us all that if you use LOA well, you’ll get fulfilling results, and if you use it poorly, you’ll get bullsh*t.

But huge amounts of Christians busy themselves arguing over trans, gays, marriage, and more instead of practicing manifesting goodness themselves and those around them.

Jesus taught proper application of the law of attraction, period.

“Not everyone who SAYS to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who DOES THE WILL OF MY FATHER who is in heaven.” — Matthew 7:21

(“Only those who connect to source manifest ‘heaven.’”)

“Do not be conformed to this world, but BE TRANSFORMED BY THE RENEWAL OF YOUR MIND, that BY TESTING you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” — Romans 12:2

(“Be unconcerned with current reality, and instead use your mind to manifest better results. Test it and see how well and what good you can manifest.”, in fact I encourage you to test everything I’ve said here for yourself.)

Jesus knew that over-concern with unpleasant situations limit you from achieving your true potential. He points out that the way to attract a new reality, aligned with your truest desires, is to transform your thinking. He encourages us always to elevate our mentality and attitude to the highest vibration possible, one of love.

“Give, and it will be given to you. Good measure… running over, will be put into your lap. For with THE MEASURE YOU USE it WILL BE MEASURED BACK TO YOU.” — Luke 6:38

This verse is a clear message that you attract what you feel.

The vibrational frequency you give out is the frequency you attract. When you feel abundance, you attract abundance. When you feel positive, you attract positivity.

“Look not to the things that are seen, but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the THINGS THAT ARE UNSEEN ARE ETERNAL.” — 2 Corinthians 4:18

Paul explains that what’s in our imagination is the eternal, indestructible reality that has yet to manifest. And to manifest it, you need to ‘see’ it, or ‘visualize’ it. Don’t focus on the undesired current situation, instead focus your attention on the reality you actually desire.

Source is an energy that acts as master architect, designer, or creator responsible for all reality. It’s the infinite energy responsible for creating every bit of matter in the universe. You can look into quantum physics for more on this, and Jesus surely had some understanding of it, since he refers to god as infinite light (photons), and seemed to easily ‘jump’ quantum realities in order to create ‘miracles.’

The point I’m making with all this is Jesus’s teachings are so similar to LOA, it’s hard to believe they’re not just LOA from a different time, in a different language. It’s crazy how often Jesus taught us to adopt the high-vibration of love. It’s shocking how consistently he hammered home the path to manifesting well:

Elevating our beliefs, uplifting our moods, stilling our minds in meditative prayer, and soothing any doubts or resistance… all because that’s the only path to connect with source.

And he didn’t do this by binging YouTube videos, or even reading articles like this one.

Jesus knew the only way anyone can manifest miracles is to follow our internal guidance.

Jesus didn’t follow a ‘Bible’, a book, or a religion.

***He followed his own personal connection with God. ***

And remember, he encouraged us all to follow him in this and do the same. Jesus never envisioned a world where everyone’s arguing over Bible verses. He envisioned a world where people truly understood their connection to the divine, and truly understood how to access their own personal kingdom, their own personal dreams and desires, their own personal heaven on earth.

He didn’t invent the name ‘Christians’ or ‘Christianity.’ Jesus avoided labeling people. He didn’t believe in ‘religion.’ Jesus believed in source energy. He didn’t insist people use crosses as symbols. Jesus was a ‘heathen,’ a ‘pagan,’ and he did not follow a religion. Instead a bunch of fans and supplicants created their own religion around him after he was gone.

Jesus simply followed his internal emotional compass. He followed the light which was within him, the ‘lightest’ emotions he could access, moment-to-moment. It’s this light that he said we also could find within us, because we’re human just like him, with our own emotional guidance.

Jesus was never teaching that all 8 billion people on earth today need him, him specifically, and him only. Jesus was confident, not despotic.

But what about...

“Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes to the Father, but by ME.” — John 14:6

Isn’t Jesus saying that “he” is the be-all and end-all for success in life?

C’mon.

Jesus didn’t mean that every human from now until the end of time --including primitive, illiterate, uncivilized tribes had to ‘find Jesus’ in order to live great, fulfilling lives and tap into heaven (on earth.)

He just meant that they had to find the ‘Christ’ within themselves.

It was a metaphor meaning that the only path to source was Christ-consciousness and uplifted vibration.

Jesus didn’t mean that people had to repeat his metaphors and take them literally.

He just meant they had to internalize the concepts he taught and remember their true power as manifestors to create a heavenly life here on earth.

Jesus meant that he was a ‘top-tier role model,’ showing us the way to connect to source, and that although there’s as many paths up the mountain as there are humans on earth…

...the ‘only way’ to manifest well is to elevate our beliefs, tune to our emotional guidance, and soothe all resistance and doubt.

He meant that his teachings were correct. That the overall concepts (NOT the literal minutiae) were the only way that the law of attraction works, and just like the law of gravity, there’s no way around them.

He meant that there was no other way to manifest our dreams properly, because desire, resistance, and belief are the rock-solid criteria for leveraging the law of attraction.

“I am the way” is Jesus’s catchy, attention-grabbing method of getting people to follow his example, but surprise-surprise, the uh… well-intentioned Christians scattered all throughout history took it literally, insisting every human being simply MUST ‘find Jesus’ if they want to live well.

Can you get more elitist, exclusionary, and divisive?

Can you picture Jesus turning up his nose at primitive tribes who can’t read ‘the good book’? Or him scrambling to convert them to start tithing their funds to a ‘church?’ Or trying to subvert whatever their hearts lead them towards?

All Jesus wanted was for people to experiment with things for themselves.

He just wanted them to do the work and manifest a better earth.

“A man had two sons. And he went to the first and said, ‘Son, go and work in the vineyard today.’ And he answered, ‘I WILL NOT,’ but afterward he changed his mind and WENT. And he went to the other son and said the same. And he answered, ‘I GO, SIR,’ but DID NOT GO. Which of the two did the will of his father?” They said, ‘The first.’ Jesus said to them, ‘Truly, I say to you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes go into the kingdom of God before you.’” — Matthew 21:28

Jesus was passionate about humanity loving one another in healthy ways and he just wants people to practice connecting to a vibration of love, to source. Literally, practice it often. He doesn’t want them debating all day long about who’s more righteous, or who has the correct interpretation of some book.

He didn’t want people speaking hollow words, or calling him ‘Lord’, he just wanted them to apply the teachings.

“Why do you CALL me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not DO what I tell you?” — Luke 6:46

He just wants us to practice LOA properly and actually manifest some good works in this world instead of grinding away miserably at some 9-to-5, blaming everything on others, or getting stuck in abusive relationships or whatever.

“Not everyone who SAYS to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who DOES the will of my Father who is in heaven.” — Matthew 7:21

(“Calling me nice names like ‘Lord’ is meaningless, only taking action to still your mind and elevate your heart and connect to source will work for you.”)

“Everyone then who HEARS these words of mine and DOES them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock.” — Matthew 7:24

(“Seriously guys, listen deeply, interpret well, and apply my teachings and you’ll manifest your dreams on a solid LOA foundation.”)

Jesus was about actually manifesting positive works for the world, not all the empty chatter.

Jesus was all about motherf**king practice.

(Note: Jesus also didn’t care if someone swore. He gave props to foul-mouthed harlots, thieves, and Roman soldiers.)

He wanted people to practice what he practiced. To follow in his footsteps. To see for themselves the ‘miracle’ of properly applying LOA.

“But be DOERS of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.” — James 1:22

James knew that Jesus disdained empty words. He knew Jesus disdained hypocrisy. He knew Jesus had no time for pedants, and instead insisted that people seek their own, soulful, connection with source over any ‘letter’ or man-made law, always.

“SEEK FIRST the Kingdom of God.” — Matthew 6:33

Very specific. Don’t go looking for a church, or a Bible, or a Bible-teacher, because...

How do we seek the kingdom of God (connection with source)?

“The Kingdom of God is WITHIN YOU.” — Luke 17:21

It’s your thoughts, moods, and choices. You have about 55,000+ of them a day, and most people are NOT seeking them, tuning in to them, paying attention to them.

This is not something that religion is comfortable with. Most Christian institutions don’t want you to seek a personal connection with God, because they make money by being the middle-man. They have relevance and significance by being the middle-man. They can maintain a position of power, authority, and superiority if you have to come to them, rather than simply do the work of elevating your own thoughts and emotions (a powerful ability you’ve been blessed with since birth.)

Jesus said to seek the kingdom of God within yourself first.

Seek it within you.

In your heart and mind. Society has trained us to be distracted. This is why most people can’t manifest because facing their true thoughts and feelings is too dark and scary. It’s too unfamiliar. It takes actual effort to apply ourselves, to look within, and admit truths about ourselves.

But Jesus did it constantly. He was always seeking “The Father” (source) within, first and foremost, and he wants you to align with source energy too.

Whew!

At this point, we’ve looked at tremendous similarities between today’s law of attraction teachings, and the teachings of Jesus. Some of the most common words, themes, and concepts taught in The Bible are directly parallel to similar things in LOA.

But the biggest sign that Jesus was teaching the law of attraction, for me at least, was the fact that...

Jesus constantly told us that we’re divine, all-powerful extensions of God (source.)

“I can do nothing ON MY OWN.” — John 5:30

Jesus knew that he (like all humans) was powerless when disconnected from source. He knew that lower-vibing materially-focused minds accomplish practically nothing without connection to source’s divine inspiration first.

Jesus knew he was human, but he also knew that (like all humans,) he had a divine soul or consciousness that he (like all humans,) uses to pilot his body. So although low-vibration human endeavor accomplishes ‘nothing’, tapping into source is a different story entirely.

"I and The Father ARE ONE.” — John 10:30

“I CAME FROM THE FATHER and entered the world; now I am leaving the world and GOING BACK TO THE FATHER.” — John 16:28

(I --like all humans-- am a soul that came from source and entered a human body, now I am leaving my human body to re-merge with source, because while bodies tend to perish, souls are eternal.)

Over and over Jesus said that he wasn’t a paltry, powerless creature. Over and over he said he was connected to divine power.

And he said the same of us.

Sure, he says “I” in the above quotes, and some Christians think this meant he was proclaiming that he-and-only-he, was ‘special’, and that he was the divine one, not us dirty sinners.

But Jesus did his best to correct this misunderstanding too:

"Whoever believes in me WILL DO THE WORKS I HAVE DONE, and they will do even greater things than these." — John 14:12

(“Whoever follows Jesus’s teachings and example can and will manifest greater than Jesus.”)

“AS THE FATHER HAS SENT ME, even so I AM SENDING YOU... If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you withhold forgiveness from any, it is withheld.” — John 20:21

(“As source has empowered me, you are also empowered, just like all human beings who align with source.”) The message here? You have equal power to Jesus.

Jesus was constantly explaining that he was just like us, and that none was ‘better’ than another, and that anyone could turn their life around (‘be saved’) at any moment because we’re all connected to divine energy.

He knew what it was like to be human, just like all of us.

“But now you seek to kill me, A MAN who has told you the truth that I heard from God.” - John 8:40

Jesus explained that he wasn’t always perfectly genius, and had years where he had to f**k up, learn, and grow, just like all of us.

“And Jesus INCREASED IN WISDOM and in stature and in favor with God and man.” — Luke 2:52

(“Jesus grew beyond his earlier ways and gained more fame.”)

“By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come IN THE FLESH is from God...” — 1 John 4:2

(“You know someone’s got things right when they admit Jesus was fully human.”)

“Since it is written, ‘YOU shall be holy, for I am holy.’ ” — 1 Peter 1:16

We’re all divine beings. Period.

Jesus preached love, the highest vibration.

In the law of attraction, love is the highest, purest vibration of source. Just like everything else about this stuff, it’s called by many names: joy, bliss, union, harmony, clarity, freedom, abundance, expansion, etc.

Call it what you want, the vibration of love is all of those wrapped up into one. It’s the purest vibration we individual “souls in a human body” can access, and whenever we do choose to tap into love, we start channeling ‘miraculous’ things into our lives, just as Jesus did. And he knew this and did his best to teach us that love is the highest vibration we can achieve in our earthly bodies in order to manifest our desires.

Then why is there so much talk of ‘sin,’ and ‘evil,’ in the Bible?

Because…

Jesus understood contrast.

Negativity, darkness, pain, suffering, death. Jesus understood it all and did his best to teach people the relationship of those things to the law of attraction.

“Blessed are the POOR IN SPIRIT, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” — Matthew 5:3

(“People who’ve spiraled to great depths are the ones who rise to great heights. The lowest lows create the highest highs.”)

“And if your eye causes you to SIN, tear it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into hell...” — Mark 9:47

It’s a metaphor.

It means do whatever you have to do to elevate your beliefs/moods and to align with source, because that’s the only way to manifest your dreams.

If friends and family are bringing you down, move away, or spend more time in coffee shops, etc...

...Do whatever you have to do to get your vibe right.

Jesus ain’t saying literally “hey, go cut your eye out” to align with source. He’s saying that if it comes down to it, and you simply can’t see a path to healing, then sure, remove what’s in your way if that gets your heart & mind right.

But he also believes that’s not really necessary and that source can cure leprosy, or eye-pain, or anything else.

And Jesus tried to make this all simple.

He boiled all his teachings down to maintain a vibration of love, free of judgment or fear:

“‘Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?’ And he said to him, ‘You shall LOVE the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall LOVE your neighbor as yourself. ON THESE TWO COMMANDMENTS DEPEND ALL THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS.’ ” — Matthew 22:36-40

Basically, always vibe high in love, aligning with source energy, and secondly, all humans are equally part of source energy, so love them too.

Jesus wanted the process of manifesting a fulfilling life to be easy.

Is love as simple as I feel in my bones, in my heart, or will people still be unable to grasp that Jesus taught high-vibing love, and used it to manifest well?

I guess we’ll see.

And I’m psyched for the ‘contradictory’ Bible verses peeps will use to ‘debunk’ my points.

When I see them pop up in the comments, I probably won’t be impressed.

Jesus himself often had trouble getting the truth through to scholars, zealots, intellectuals, and people in authority.

“Woe to you lawyers! For you have taken away the key of knowledge. You did not enter yourselves, and you hindered those who were entering.” — Luke 11:52

(‘Lawyers’ here refers to scholars, public figures, zealots, etc.)

Jesus is basically saying the religious scholars and magistrates of the day weren’t seeking a high-vibration themselves and were more focused on convincing others away from learning to manifest their dreams.

Jesus encountered haters often because...

...in a land of liars one who tells the truth is a scapegoat at best and a victim at worst.

And that’s fine. My own family might love this piece, or they might hate me for writing it. They might applaud my insightful take on a master manifestor from humanity’s history, or they might decry me as a blasphemous, devil-worshipping revisionist, blaspheming who’s twisting the word of god.

I don’t care, because Jesus wouldn’t care.

Jesus knew the masses in his time were deaf and blind to the truth, but he gave it to them anyway.

He knew that understanding manifestation was the only path for people to achieve their dreams, and has been since the beginning.

He preached his truth and wisdom as much as possible but had zero patience for wisdom-avoiders.

“My people are destroyed for LACK OF KNOWLEDGE; because you have rejected knowledge, I reject you…” — Hosea 4:6

If Jesus were here now, writing a similar article, doing his best to communicate how to truly uplift your beliefs, soothe your resistances, and manifest your dreams…

...He would speak wisdom, value, light, and truth with passion. He’d do his best to uplift others, even in the face of their hate, ignorance, and righteous indignation.

So I welcome any ‘Christian’ haters-in-disguise.

“But now you seek to kill me, A MAN WHO HAS TOLD YOU THE TRUTH that I heard from God.” — John 8:40

It’s fine if haters seek to ‘kill’ me, a man telling you inspired truths that I heard from source. It’s fine if you feel judging and labeling me is the right thing to do.

The fact is, it doesn’t take wisdom to write someone off or label them. Anyone can slap the label of ‘heretic’ on me without thinking deeper. Dogmatic Christians might argue, rage, and quote verses at me.

Anyone can find contradictions in The Bible to further their own agenda while poking holes in others’.

In fact, you could argue that’s all I’ve done here myself, but if I’m wrong for doing it, then so are any hyper-triggered dissenters doing the same. Ultimately...

I read everything, the Bible included, from the perspective of love.

When people read things, they’re reading through a certain lens. And though most don’t admit it, they’re often reading with the subconscious goal not of finding real truth, but of proving themselves right. Or they’re reading to find ways to put others down. Or they’re reading to ‘win a debate’ and come out feeling superior to others.

When I read, am I doing any of those things?

It’s possible, but I sit with this question whenever I read anything, to make sure I’m reading with the best intentions. When I read The Bible I’m gleaning whatever value I can from it through the lens of love and empowerment. Because I know if I was sitting down with Jesus he would want me to do so. He’d be extremely loving. And even if he was ‘flipping tables’ in righteous anger, he’d be doing so out of love. Jesus’s teachings centered on positivity and love, and anything I read that doesn’t resonate with that, I’m unlikely to believe he said or meant it.

Does that mean I’m cherry-picking what works for me?

Yes, and I encourage you to do the same.

You’re on earth to live your individual best life. You’re going to encounter words from all across the ages, and it’s up to you and you alone to figure out the meaning and truth of them for yourself.

And you have all the tools necessary to do so.

You have your own personal connection with God (source), and it’s with you always regardless of time, space, ‘rules’, or language. You have your emotional guidance system, your internal compass. Use it to know what interpretations empower you to be more loving, and to know what drains you, or makes you a less loving person.

Only you know what’s true for you.

I’ve written this from my decades of study, practice, experience, and speaking the truth... and that’s what I’m doing once again here.

What really matters isn’t how many little holes someone can poke in what I’ve written with their ‘biblical ammo.’ What really matters isn’t whether I’m ‘right’ or ‘wrong’, a ‘devil’ or a ‘wise man’…

...What truly matters is YOU.

Does YOUR interpretation of Jesus’s teachings help you manifest the life you want easier, faster, and more fulfilling… or does the interpretation I’ve offered here empower you more?

Because disempowered humans suck, and Jesus never wanted that for you.

Does YOUR current understanding of Jesus’s teachings empower you to live well and create a great life, or does mine? Have you tried both on for size? Have you given each approach a reasonable experiment to feel your own conscience and personal connection with God guiding you as you experience them?

Because what I’m writing here is aimed to give you an eye-opening, empowering perspective on achieving your dreams, just as Jesus intended with his teachings.

Are you able to tune into your heart, and let it tell you whether or not the message behind my words is true? Or will you jump to triggered snap-judgments from an intellectual, debate-focused mind, eager to see only the surface level of a certain word or phrase?

"For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but THE LORD LOOKS ON THE HEART." — 1 Samuel 16:7

Jesus paid close attention to people’s ‘hearts’, their ‘vibes’, and discerned where they were coming from even if they didn’t speak his language or understand his teachings. He assessed people on their merit, value, and the love they embodied… then treated them accordingly.

This meant that sometimes he would dismiss his own family:

“And his mother and his brothers came, and standing OUTSIDE they sent to him and called him. And a crowd was sitting around him, and they said to him, ‘Your mother and your brothers are OUTSIDE, seeking you.’ And he answered them, ‘WHO are my mother and my brothers?’’” — Mark 3:31

Other times he would celebrate the most brutal pagans:

“When Jesus heard this, he MARVELED and said to those who followed him, ‘Truly, I tell you, with no one in Israel have I found such faith.’ ” — Matthew 8:10

The centurion in the verse above was one the most unlikely people to ‘marvel’ Jesus. He was a Roman Gentile, likely with a pagan upbringing, stationed in Palestine as a man of war, achieving centurion rank in the brutal Roman martial arts. Not exactly the résumé you'd expect for becoming one of the Bible's great heroes of faith.

And recall this verse from earlier:

“‘Truly, I say to you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes go into the kingdom of God BEFORE you.’” — Matthew 21:28

Basically, money-handling ‘bankers’ and scandalously dressed sex-workers Jesus said would connect to source and manifest their dreams before his supposedly ‘devout’ followers.

Think deeper. Ask yourself, “who is more aligned with divinity, LOA-believing-celebs like Oprah and Jim Carrey who are providing jobs, growing empires, and creating a huge positive impact on humanity, or anonymous internet commenters raging about how their interpretation is correct and everyone else is wrong?”

Kanye West is an incredibly accomplished manifestor. Many would say what he’s done in his lifetime is on the level of ‘miraculous.’ (Time Magazine certainly thought so.) On the other hand, many revile, write-off, or dismiss him as much as certain other historical figures.

Whatever the case, in the last few years Yeezy went ‘hyper-Christian,’ born-again-style…

...but did you know he’s also written a song called ‘Law Of Attraction’, which he later re-wrote as ‘Use This Gospel?’

Although Kanye never seemed to be the most articulate person, and actively avoids reading… If he and I discussed my article, do you think he’d understand what I’m saying? And do you think he’s more effective at aligning with source than you or I?

Because I’d bet anything he’s created his massive impact on society, culture, art, and the world using the law of attraction. And whether he calls it religion, LOA, quantum science, or something else, all that really matters is that he experimented with and practiced it for himself. He applied himself to see if it felt right or not. He saw whether it got him closer to his hopes and dreams, or further from them. And the same goes for you.

Food for thought.

Some of the best followers of Jesus don't get involved in any kind of ‘religion,’ and may not even mention Jesus's name.

How?

Because they're busy applying and living his principles, with hardcore commitment, even in the face of immense family or social pressure, press slandering, and more.

They're simply out there creating value for the world, manifesting their dreams, providing jobs, blessing charities, etc… and doing it with as much love as they possibly can.

Anyway, my point about the roman centurion, these celebrities, and even myself is this:

Jesus often saw the truth of people that the average person did not, so before we label anyone as anything, look deeper, just like Jesus would.

One final thing I’d like to note:

I didn’t write this to ‘convert’ anyone.

I’m not trying to get you to follow, believe, or ‘use’ the law of attraction.

I’m not seeking agreement about Jesus’s teachings.

I simply want to offer a fresh perspective that makes you think, and possibly nudges you towards a more empowering life for yourself and the people you care about. I could’ve been playing League Of Legends for the last few days but I wrote this instead because I aim to enlighten.

I’d like you to look around at the state of the world today, and ask yourself “What has following ‘traditional’, ‘standard’ interpretations of the Bible done for the world and your life in particular? Could more fulfillment be gained with a different view?”

Jesus and his disciples spat on people’s ‘traditions.’

“See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human TRADITION...” — Colossians 2:8

“Jesus asks why do you transgress the commandment of God by your TRADITION?” — Matthew 15:3

Ask yourself, “has the world become more filled with love with Christians ignoring the law of attraction? Or has it become more polarized, violent, and extreme? Is the world uniting more and caring about others more, or snapping, triggering, and turning away from others more? Is maybe this LOA stuff worth some real deep soul-searching?”

Maybe it’s time to put traditional interpretations aside for a bit?

What do you think would happen if all the “Judgy Judgersons” replaced Christian dogma with what Jesus was really teaching? What if they began meditating and seeking harmony within instead? What do you think would happen if people were actually clear on how to manifest their dreams without harming others?

I’d love for you to manifest your dreams, big or small. Jesus has taught us all how to do exactly that, using the law of attraction just like him.

The only question left is…

...Does your heart tell you to label & recoil from the views presented here? Or to ignore them altogether? Or does your heart tell you, deep down, that it’s wise to explore them further?

Whatever answer you come up with will affect the course of your life powerfully.

Choose with care.

“HEAR, my son, and BE WISE, and DIRECT YOUR HEART in the way.” — Proverbs 23:19

_{Note: Law Of Attraction is simple but –like many skills– has a nuanced execution and takes some time & effort to ‘get right’ for those not naturally gifted… so there’s more to it than mentioned here. I wrote this simply because many seem to think LOA & Christianity aren’t compatible, or that Jesus would’ve frowned on LOA when there's other views that may resonate.}

Anyway, thanks so much for reading, commenting, sharing, following, or even skimming. I appreciate you.
