The Law of Correspondence establishes what is happening external of you is a mirror of what is occurring internal. Another way of explaining this is to say the unconscious patterns, thoughts, and beliefs you hold create what you see in the world around you. If you unconsciously believe in lack and scarcity, then you will see lack and scarcity in the world around you. This law requires two things to capitalize on what it teaches us.
- It requires the belief that everything happening is happening for you to learn, grow, and evolve. When you don’t learn you repeat the pattern again and again until you collect and apply the lesson which stops the pattern from repeating in the future. With this perspective we can see how everything, indeed, is happening for us. (Yes, EVEN my husband going to prison. I can’t count the number of ways I’ve become a more lovable and loving person!)
- It requires radical responsibility. If you do not take responsibility for what’s going on internal that creates what you see external of you then nothing shifts.
I am not saying that you can change the circumstances you are in, but you can change how you perceive them and how they make you feel. For instance, when Travis’s investigation began, I thought it was a huge problem, the future was uncertain, and I questioned whether I should be partnered with him. I couldn’t change the legal situation, but I could take responsibility for the thoughts and feelings I had in response to it.
I challenged by values and discovered unconditional love meant more to be than a clean legal record, I valued the honesty in our relationship more than other people’s opinion or perspective of our situation, and for the first time in my life I fully committed. Okay, perhaps the second time in my life because I fully committed to the first boxer I adopted, Ike, who was always up to something mischievous and was much more than I bargained to get. But you get the point.
Because of this radical responsibility will Travis and I never experience hardship or challenges in our relationship in the future? I sure hope that’s the case, but it’s very likely along our path together there will be more bumps in the road. I know for a fact what will be different is my unwavering commitment, my absolute certainty we can get through anything together, and my unconditional love for him. With these certainties the next challenge won’t be as difficult to traverse because I won’t be questioning what it means about the relationship. Instead, I will be able to place all my focus and energy into finding the solution to whatever situation arose.
What’s the key to breaking the patterns the law of correspondence allows you to identify in you? Opposing energy.
Yep, it’s really that simple. Feel wronged by someone? Apply forgiveness, including self-forgiveness. See scarcity and lack in the world around you? Sit in nature and observe how there’s constant nurturing and balancing take place between the different species or perhaps journal about all of the things you have in great abundance in your life.
Have you experienced trauma or hardships in your life that’s locked in these views of the world and applying the opposing energy doesn’t help?
