We attract what we attend. More precisely, we attract more or less, the more or less we attend.
So, for example, the more I dwell in peace, the more I give my love, the more I share my joy, the more I follow my bliss, the more I conduct myself with grace, the more easily and quickly I tend to attract peace, love, joy, bliss, and grace into a place where I can make them manifest.
The key word here is "place". Ekos.
"Into a place" might mean "into my body" or it might mean "into my home" or "into my office or clinic or lab" or "into my car or truck" or "into my own private space" - into any place where I feel at home, where I feel "in-place". The more I value this "place", the more sacred I treat it, the more "in-place" I feel.
And the more "in-place" we feel, the more easily we can use our places as vessels of transformation, as containers for creative and divine expression.
When we feel safe and secure in our places, we feel free to explore, to examine, to elaborate, to explain, to express - creatively and productively, effectively and efficiently. When we feel safe and secure in our places, wherever they might be for us, we feel called to meet a purpose beyond need.
With needs met, our desires have a better chance of providing a means by which we can know a purpose. When we feel at home - in our bodies, in our places of residence, in our workplaces, in our own private spaces - we have the confidence to find, to know, and to meet a purpose.
To begin to balance the sacred and divine, we simply need to find our places, keep them safe and secure, and give our desires free reign so that we might find a purpose that resonates with our sense of place, before striving to meet this purpose creatively, productively, divinely.
A prosaic life need not remain prosaic. Any sacred place that supports a divine purpose can (and will) transform prosaic need into sublime intent.
How might we realize a purpose and still keep our balance?
For me, at this time, this is the million-dollar question.
