TLDR/Watch;
No.
Ok goodnight folks!
Just kidding.
I know that this is one of the most popular 'spiritual' ideas out there.
That our 'vibration' is what 'attracts' certain things to us/repels other things. That we are vibrational beings that are constantly sending out signals to the universe, and the universe is simply 'reflecting back to us' what we are at all times.
We're told that we can 'manifest' all positive experiences/things we want to have in our lives or we can 'manifest' a whole host of NEGATIVE experiences/things based on our thoughts, feelings and intentions.
That EVERYTHING that happens to us is some sort of parallel to what's happening WITHIN US - meaning if we just perfect our inner space, get aligned enough, get positive focused enough, pray enough and raise our vibration enough - only positive things will happen to us.
To me, this is a MASSIVE over-simplification of what is a true teaching - some things are within our control - and a massive misunderstanding of the COMPLEXITY of reality.
Not everything that happens to you is because of you or about you. I know this is hard to accept - because then it means we have to face the chaos of living in a world we can't ultimately control - but this is reality.
If we can come to understand the nuance of this teaching, and use that to help us navigate the things we CAN control, as well as to help us understand how to work with the things we CAN'T - I think we will be much better off.
Let's dive into all of this today.
