Quoting himself from an earlier post on this topic, JJ Dewey wrote:
"Why does this principle work?"
Quoting himself again from yet another post, JJ states:
Later I added this:
"There is another principle involved that I touched upon earlier which, on the surface, seems to contradict this principle. It is that oftentimes things that are seemingly opposite attract. What is the principle behind this phenomena?"
JJ then continues:
Actually the core principled that makes both of these work is the same. There is spiritual life and essence in all things whether there is like attracting like or two beings who hate each other. In both cases the spiritual essence lives in a state of oneness with the Source. The difference is that the like which is attracted to like has eyes open to the soul because differences are not getting in the way of seeing this spiritual essence. The two who hate each other still have that essence within that is attracted, but the attention on differences throws up a veil so the essence is not seen and no attraction results. Instead repulsion occurs.
Seeing the soul causes vision of similarities and seeing the differences causes vision to overlook the soul and only see the separation.
In the case of opposites attracting something else happens. The differences are seen, but the focus is still on the soul and not the outer differences. In this case seeing the differences does not create greater separation. Because the soul is the point of focus the differences will be seen as a part of the whole rather than a separation from the whole. The differences will be seen as complimentary and stimulate loved and appreciation rather than hate and disgust.
I liked "Livs" words indicating the progression of differences toward unity as follows:
"Polarity, Duality, movement, evolution, becoming, reconciling, integrating, synthesis and unity."
Ruth pointed out that magnetism was involved which is true, but what brings on the magnetism? It is activated when oneness as seen through the eyes of the soul. When oneness is seen as the state of joy at the end of our journey then the consciousness of two beings will have an interplay of energy that indeed creates a magnetic force.
We'll call these two principles that of "affinity and compliments." These two are part of a greater principle that bring the many back to the one.
These principles largely determine whether our future, whether in the body or out of the body, will be heaven or hell.
Heaven or hell in this life is largely determined by the people and associations that come into our lives. If one does not look through the eyes of the soul his consciousness will focus upon differences that divide and he will attract people to him with annoying differences. His life will thus be hell on earth, and in the next world he will be around entities of a similar negative focus to his own, and will not be stimulated by many degrees of consciousness as we have here on earth.
The person focussed on the soul will draw to him others like himself, which will be a pleasant or heavenly experience, because the love of the soul will be shared. This heavenly sharing will be amplified in the next world because unloving people will not have access to interfere with the love of the soul as they attempt to do here on the earth.
The greater principle governing affinity and compliments is the law or principle of vibration.
This is [Spiritual] Principle 68.
What does vibration have to do with like attracting like and compliments attracting?
What is the difference of vibration as it manifests as spirit, matter, light and sound?
What does it mean when it is said you respond to the vibration of another person? What are you really responding to?
Contemplate comment on this seed thought:
"In the beginning was the word, the sound, the vibration, the light and the form."
In message number 35126, entitled "Vibrations," posted on May 19, 2008, at The Keys Of Knowledge Spiritual Discussion Group JJ Dewey added the following:
Concerning vibration DK [Djwhal Khul] said this:
"The sensitivity of the mechanism of the soul to spiritual vibration has to be cultivated and existing sensitivity to lower psychic impressions has to be tuned out; so many voices clamour for attention, so many impressions emanating from the physical and astral forms around us register upon our consciousness, that the vibrations and sounds coming from the subjective and spiritual world are lost and not registered and recorded. You will find it interesting to note, at the end of a few years, the difference in the data recorded and the development of sensitivity to the right kind of impression. This can only be realised after much time has elapsed and much spurious material has been eliminated, after being recognised for what it is: astralism, spurious claims and thoughtforms. ("Discipleship in the New Age," Vol 1, Pg 15, by Alice A. Bailey)
Question
DK here gives us some good advice. Contemplate this and expand upon it by asking:
"What does my own vibration have to do with contacting higher spiritual vibration? Am I to alter my vibration, manifest an existing vibration, create a new one or what?"
Contemplate what you must do with your own vibration to contact one that is higher.
