“It is easy to understand how you would come to the conclusion that your path to feeling good is through influencing or controlling the behavior of others. But as you attempt to control them through influence or coercion, you discover that not only can you not contain them, but your attention to them brings more like them into your experience. You cannot get to where you want to be by controlling or eliminating the unwanted.” ~Abraham
“The opposite of control is ‘allowing’. Do not confuse ‘allowing’ with passiveness. It is not the same, although people who are highly prone to attempting to control others often see it that way. This is only because they do not understand the potential of deliberately creating a new reality outside of EGO – yet, and fear that appearing passive depletes their power. That too is an illusion as you will read in Volume I of the series, BEing Spiritually Intelligent.
Allowing is moving with the flow of life and includes following your heart but also taking action. Control has quite the opposite effect and is a different energy frequency. Remember the true essence of the Law of Attraction: ” that which is like unto itself is drawn”. If you feel that you live in a world filled with people who are always manipulating the control of others and situations, take a look at the energy you bring to the mix.” – Susan Abrams Milligan
