Wheels of Life - Part 2 - The Law of Attraction

by Adrian Cooper

This week we will continue were we left off two weeks ago with our look at how the humble wheel is such an excellent metaphor for life, this week focusing on The Law of Attraction.

From our previous discussions we know that there are three levels of "Mind" at work in delivering our wishes, desires, and of course unwanted things in accordance with our thoughts.

To remind ourselves, these levels of Mind are as follows:

1. The Conscious Mind: This is the aspect of our Mind that interacts with the physical world through the five physical senses
- our conscious awareness. The conscious Mind is still, in many people, motivated by the demands of the ego and by driven by a desire to collect material things. The survival instinct is also a powerful aspect of the conscious Mind.

2. The Subconscious Mind: This is the aspect of our Mind that is infinitely powerful. Any thought, positive, negative or neutral that is impressed upon the Subconscious Mind will be brought in to our physical experiential reality sooner or later with immutable certainty. The Subconscious Mind never judges a thought - every thought is always automatically deemed to be the desire of the individual and will be processed accordingly.

3. The Universal Mind: The Universal Mind is the Mind of God in which we live and move and have our being, and Who is at once Infinite and Eternal, Perfect, Omniscient, Omnipotent and Omnipresent and Who has always existed and always will exist. We, as humans, as with all Creation exist as Thought Forms in the infinite Mind of God. Our Subconscious Mind, when presented with a thought from the conscious Mind, will either act directly on our body if the thought is of that nature, or with the Universal Mind of which we are all inseparable aspects.

Moving on to our Wheel we can see how The various levels of Mind fit this metaphor extremely well.

If we examine a wooden cart wheel it fundamentally comprises the following:

1. The Hub: Positioned at the centre of the wheel the Hub represents the Universal Mind, The First Cause, The Source of All that Is.

2. The Spokes: Radiating out from the Hub, each spoke represents an individual human being, a race, a nation, a Galaxy, Star or Planet
- indeed anything in creation. As evolution takes place, vibration increases, an consciousness travels up its own unique spoke until finally the vibration is such that it approaches that of The Hub, The Source.

3. The Rim: The Rim may be regarded as the cycles of life - these are the same cycles of Life for example that the Maya observed, charted, and used as a basis for their calendrical systems, astrology and of course predictions.

As a point along each spoke - which we will consider to be a human being in this case - is further and further from the hub, the more the illusion of separation is perpetuated. It is an illusion of course because in reality we all share the same connection at the Hub.

Now, as the Wheel of Life begins to slowly revolve, so we experience, and as the wheel connects with the ground, so we bear the weight of that experience.

But here is the important thing. Because everything in the Universe is connected by the same Ultimate Wheel of Life, of which all other wheels are simply cogs on the Great Universal Mechanism, each experience is shared by every other wheel, and also transmitted back long the spokes to The Source.

The Source therefore receives the benefit of All such experiences as individuated wheels turn, and in so doing The Source Experiences and thereby Expands - and thus the Universe is in a perpetual state of expansion.

As mentioned before, as the wheel turns we observe the cycles of life. These cycles can be infinitesimally small, or they can be so large as to be beyond the comprehension of humans.

Everything takes place in Cycles at an individual level, rising and setting of the Sun, the passage of the seasons and so on. The Mayan Long Count calendar measured such cycles, observing the fact that a great cycle comes to an end on 21 December 2012 - an event the effects of which extend far beyond Earth itself.

The Galaxy in which we live has a centre - The Galactic Centre, around which the wheel revolves, and which exerts a profound influence in accordance with its own Wheel of Life.

So there is nothing mysterious about 2012 - it is a wheel that has been turning since the Galaxy was thought into existence by the Universal Mind, and will continue until one day the Galaxy continues its own journey back to The Source.

2012 therefore is not a "prophesy" it is a "prediction" based upon the Galactic Wheel of Life.

But we should never fear any Wheel of Life. The Universal Mind knows only Unconditional Love, and would never "harm" anything in Creation. However - humans can harm themselves, and that is why each and every person must understand these things, and look forward to whatever is to come with great joy and expectation, knowing that it is ultimately for the greater good at all levels.
