If everything is ONE, do we really need to attract anything?

"Who creates your life experience? You the identity (ego)? You the Observer (non-physical)? God? Do you believe you don’t create anything at all, but rather, follow a predetermined destiny? Is your life experience just a random game of chance where one simple decision can mean the difference between bliss and misery?

The brilliance of Consciousness (You) is, your experience will unconditionally reflect your beliefs through the identity projecting them (also You). In other words, whatever it is you believe will resonate truthfully for you (identity) until you consciously direct your attention somewhere else.

The amazing Truth about belief is, it’s never wrong… until it is. Meaning, your attention will always have a gravitational pull towards proving your beliefs true, because your ego (identify) needs to Feel justified. Are they true? For you, RIGHT NOW, yes. Are your beliefs real? No. Belief is completely made up, based upon an identity equally made up. You could argue that statement for sure, but I want you to Feel what’s really at the core of your need to be right. Belief is completely subjective. One simple awareness could change how your Observe reality forever, times infinitely.

The Law of Attraction is an empowering formula to attach to your identity. However, you’re still giving your power away by creating through the universe, rather than acknowledging that you are the universe. In the realm of unlimited possibilities (field of energy), nothing is modus operandi. Formula is a trick created by your identity. Your label-based identity creates the illusion of direct cause and effect. As the observer manifesting reality at the speed of Vibration, cause and effect only works if you look at everything out there as something completely separate from You.

To be more precise, everything is energy, and observation manifests Vibration into form.

You are the cause and reality is the effect.

I actually read that book before it was mass released. It was a test of my ability to remain constant on my chosen path of attention, because I had already written my book twice, and then Busting Loose came out with similiar content. Interestingly enough, I wrote a chapter in response to that book in Part Two of Becoming.

Mark, have you managed to look past the dream that we call 'objective reality' or are you still busy?

The reason I ask is I would like to know if you have experienced very strange 'coincidences' etc. and in what way is your life different?

I was not very successful using the Law of Attraction. I had been consciously applying the concepts of LOA since I was a little boy. A little tidbit that might interest this thread: When I was 9 years old, I was pulled out of 4th grade public school with brain cancer. I was told I had 3 months or so left to live. The cancer then spread to my bones, preventing me from walking or being able to effectively bend my back. I was pretty much a zombie since the cancer was in the part of my brain that effects sleep patterns, so I went almost 3 1/2 months without sleeping more than 15 minutes per night.

When I had reached the stage of feeling I was living on bowered time, I found myself getting angry. I really wanted the opportunity to experience life, for the simple pleasure OF THE EXPERIENCE. I realized at that moment that I never made my own decision in the living or dying process. I was watching "Happy Days" at 3am when I finally made my own decision, without a charge or Emotional baggage attached to it. I simply decided to live, period.

The very next days I could bend my back. The next night I slept 12 hours. The day after that, I was starting to walk normal again. I never went back to the doctor, by choice. I never did chemo. I never did radiation. I simply made a decision.

After that, I became a very reclusive kid. I consciously chose not to make friends. I enjoyed exploring life, by myself. I never went back to school either. I don't have a high school diploma, or the GED. I'm 100% self taught, without the aid of tutors, or even parental assistance. I used writing to assimilate my feelings.

It was on that night when I decided to live that it became clear to me that I don't need to create, manifest, or attract anything. By making a CHOICE, without a charge or agenda, that experience would always "pop" into my realm of perception.

It wasn't until around the time I turned 18 that I started giving reality my power. Until that point, I was a successful tennis instructor, making $400-500 per day. However, I made a conscious decision to integrate more people into my life. By doing so, I paid less attention to my CHOICES, and forgot altogether after a short while.

At the time, I couldn't figure out why life began feeling hard and scary. I then broke my back. Couldn't teach tennis any more... I got a regular job after I healed making pennies compared to my expectations. Again, I felt less powerful, compelled to project myself out there to find the answers.

An already long story short, it wasn't until I started reading about LOA that I started remember my true power again. While I failed miserably trying to apply the LOA, it brought me back to acknowledging I don't need an agenda to create. I'm always creating my merely observing. The act of CHOOSING experiences, not because I want something better, or judge what I have as worse has always been the key, for me, to effortlessly "pop" the experience into my realm of perception I want to play with.

To answer your question Bernard, yes, very strange "coincidences" appear all the time. Truly, the illusion of me and the experiences I have are nothing but making choices and watching them appear... out of nowhere.

What a wonderful response Mark. Very inspirational and many will be inspired by the challenges you faced and how you turned things around with your spiritual awakenings.

The point isn't necessarily inspiration... Everyone is on here because they want to manifest, right? Everyone wants to Feel empowered, in the most unlimited sense possible.

You don't need to attract anything, because you are everything. The more limiting beliefs you allow to fall away, the closer you are to the power YOU ARE. When you reach the place where you can simply make a CHOICE, your reality will effortless reflect it, because when you acknowledge your reality is YOU, manifestation is like...

When you look in the mirror, do you need to manifest your reflection? Of course not, BUT YOU ARE!

Take the same level of effortless manifestation it takes to create your reflection and perform it in your reality. YES! It's takes the same level of effortless knowing that your reflection will appear when you look in the mirror as it does to see your desired experiences played out in this realm of Consciousness we SHARE, as one.

Here's one statement that, I think, says it: "The more limiting beliefs you allow to fall away, the closer you are to the power YOU ARE."

This means to me that you open yourself to discovering your limiting beliefs. Limiting beliefs are those that bring about a sense of struggle and discomfort.

So in a way, it does happen by itself, because it already IS. I think that if it's so, and it's effortless, then those limiting beliefs will be revealed to you for what they are and they will naturally fall away. I think once you become aware of them in full, they lose their power. So trust yourself, because you are it.

Yes yes yes...we are all one.

And yes we do 'attract' things to us, but those things are not separate from us.

This is why the present moment affirmations are key. It is here, happening now.

We are calling a part of us forward...like when we bring our hand up to scratch our head. The hand is a part of us, but we must attract it to our head in order to scratch the itch.


I love the post though. It's a very fascinating topic.

Thank you,

I'm trying to understand this whole thread. If everything is one, why do we have individual experiences?
