Who Attracted Bernie Madoff?

The other day someone posted this comment:

"How did Bernie Madoff's victims manifest being wiped out of all their wealth? They weren't anticipating it…most were happy being rich, enjoying prosperity, networking up, surrounding themselves with beautiful luxurious things…they certainly thought themselves worthy and entitled to great wealth, unlike many of the rest of us mortals. So, as the economy deteriorates, and many who were making 6 figures suddenly find themselves impoverished…how did the law of attraction put them in that situation?"

I've answered questions like this numerous times and in numerous places. But since so many people are asking again, wondering what is going on in the world when people are losing their homes and their savings, I thought I'd answer one more time.

First, if you're clumsy and keep knocking things over, you don't blame the law of gravity. You try to be more aware. You try to fix the problem inside you. The Law of Attraction is the same way.

You don't blame it. It's simply the underlying principle at work. It's neutral, just like the law of gravity. The issue isn't with the Law of Attraction, it's with what you are thinking and doing to create the experiences you attract.

Second, no one knows what is in the unconscious mind of anyone, including yourself. What we get in the outer world is a reflection of what we believe in the inner world.

Most people have issues with money. We think it's bad or evil, so we aren't comfortable with it. You might manage to attract some money, but if you don't feel you deserve it, you'll find a way to get rid of it.

Who knows what the "victims" were thinking who lost their money. They might be relieved. They might see it as a new opportunity. They might be blaming others. I don't know. Neither do you. The point for you is to look at your own beliefs, and change the ones that aren't serving you.

Third, you get what you focus on. Too many people are paying attention to the mainstream media. I was trained as a journalist in the early 1970s. I know the media's job is to seek out and often even create bad news.

If you pay attention to it, you program yourself to think the world is not safe and something bad can happen to you at any time. Over time, this programming sinks into your unconscious. Before you know it, you live it out. You then become part of the bad news reported in the media. You have to break the cycle to break free.

None of this is to say you are to blame. As I say in The Awakening Course, it's not your fault, but it is your responsibility. Your job is to awaken.

You have to think and do things differently to get different results. Here are some suggestions on how to accomplish that:

1. Change your beliefs. You may need help in spotting them and replacing them, but help is available. There's everything from Miracles Coaching to my Nightinglae-conant audio program, The Missing Secret.

2. Get support. You'll accelerate your change if you get support from a positive group. That's available, too. See the Attract Miracles Community.

3. Do something different. I read a book the other day ("Think Like a Billionaire, Become a Billionaire") that had a great line in it: if you are upset about your current reality, all that means is you are not planning on changing. Do something different to get a different result.

What you do is based on what you think, so cycle through these suggestions to get into a better place.

Finally, anyone can change.

If I can survive being homeless and in poverty to reach a lifestyle today that is one of daily magic and miracles, then you can do it, too.

It all begins right here, right now.

The next move is yours.

PS -- To illustrate how little I pay attention to the mainstream news, I had to google Bernie Madoff. I had no idea who he is or was. You don't need to watch the news to have a good life. My guess is, the less you watch, the happier you'll be.
