With all that is preached in the New Age community that the Law of Attraction is the key to manifesting the life you truly prefer, where does divine order come in? Or is everyone meant to accept their lot in life and proverbially “turn the other cheek” leaning into their lot in life?

Someplace in between?

God knows…

Right?

The current paradigm is obsessed with the duality of good and bad, right and wrong, darkness and light and yes, these patterns run through the history of humankind, but what exactly is good or bad? Who makes that call? You? Me? Our notion of divinity? Can we get some answers please!

What constitutes winning or losing? Who’s game is this, anyway?

Maybe it merely comes down to defining what is success and failure for ourselves. Make your own determination what being a loser is, not culture, not your parents, not your peers or the latest status symbols. Just you, your ego, and the Great I Am.

Let the Universe be your guide. Maybe it’s really all in our heads when it comes down to it. No one’s perspective but our own is really relevant, unless we choose that as our standard. In the final analysis, I think it simply comes down to two small words.

Harm or help.

Do I like this way of being and is it helpful or harmful to me, others and the world at large? Oh no, how do “we” define what is helpful or harmful to others? That’s a toughie. Falling into the category of my favorite Rolling Stone’s song “You Can’t Always Get What You Want.”

People may not like the outcome of what is helping you, but if it’s helpful, truly for you, they get what they need, and if they don’t like it, maybe it’s their business to find ways to do what is helpful to them. Ah, wellness leveling the playing field again. Relations makes or breaks winning, choose your connections wisely.

In Wellness and with Reverence,
