Alignment happens whether we know it or not.
We don't necessarily have to be aware of our alignment in order for it to have it's way with us. In fact, a lot of the time we aren't. Students of Law of Attraction call this creating by default. This usually means that we create something that we don't want due to not realizing that we are in alignment with it. It also can serve as an explanation for why we have people and events in our lives that we don't exactly view as positive and why people seem to get great things in their lives when it looks like they really don't deserve them. Deserving something has nothing to do with being in alignment with it. It all has to do with how we view the events in our lives. The following story is an example of creating by default in that the hero of our story know nothing about LOA.
My friend S., who is not consciously a student of Law Of Attraction, told me this story a few years ago.
S.’s friend, to whom I will refer as Boomer for reasons that will soon become obvious, was stopped for speeding. Boomer is in his 50s. The officer who stopped him was in his 30s and probably young enough to be Boomer’s son. Their conversation went something like this:
Young Officer: “Mind if I search your vehicle?”
Boomer: “Help yourself.”
Young Officer: “Am I going to find anything?”
Boomer: “Probably.”
The officer looked inside the car and, upon finding a small butt of a marijuana cigarette, began to lecture Boomer severely on how much better his life would be if he were not addicted to an illegal substance. Boomer began to get annoyed and started thinking that he wished the kid would just write him a ticket and let him get on with his day. He gazed over the top of his glasses at the officer giving him a look that he hoped was expressing his thoughts.
Maybe it was the look or perhaps the youngster decided that having to listen to a lecture from someone young enough to be his offspring was punishment enough for Boomer’s transgressions. At any rate, he let Boomer off with a warning.
Boomer decided that getting the warning instead of a stiff fine was a sign that he was having a lucky day so he drove straight to the nearest casino, walked up to the first dollar slot machine that he saw and put a buck in it. He won $1500.00.
My friend who told me this story said that if he had been in Boomer’s place, he would have buckled his seat belt tight, driven home at five miles under the speed limit and cleaned out his car. “That’s just how Boomer thinks,” he said.
I think that Boomer decided that he was having a great experience and that he might as well have an even better one. He realized on some level that his vibration was right to attract something wonderful and took inspired action.
