This past week I was attending my bi-annual meeting of the Transformational Leadership Council in New Orleans. At one point I was talking to Paul Scheele of Learning Strategies about the important distinction between inspiration, which comes from who we really are (consciousness, the “creator”) and intention, which comes from who we think we are (the ego, the “creation”).
(See my recent blog post where I discuss this distinction in detail: https://www.mortylefkoe.com/create-happiness/.)
In the middle of the conversation I had a thought that might explain why the Law of Attraction works sometimes and not other times.
When you are inspired to do something (inspirations are created out of nothing, “just because”), the creator that you really are will help to manifest that inspiration. The “universe” will support you.
On the other hand, when your ego sets an intention (intentions are shaped and limited by our prior beliefs), you generally will not be supported by who you really are, by consciousness, by the “universe.”
In other words, consciousness will help to manifest the visions it inspired to begin with. And the ego will have to work hard to bring its intentions to fruition.
What I am suggesting is that the Law of Attraction is nothing more that consciousness manifesting its own creations (namely your inspirations). The “Law” is not applicable to intentions it did not create.
Obviously it is possible to achieve ego-created intentions with effective strategies and actions, but you will not have the Law of Attraction’s support in the same way as you would if you were focused on implementing an inspiration.
Take a look in your own life. Think about the times that the Law of Attraction seemed to be working, when merely thinking about something seemed to be enough for it to manifest. And then think about the times that you struggled to get something you wanted. Was the goal you were striving to achieve a function of an intention or an inspiration?
Does this distinction explain when the LOA works for you and when it doesn’t? Tell me and my readers your stories.

can there be a belief “i am not accepted or liked” or ” i have no importance ” with “i am not important” .thank you.
best regards
Mayuk
Hi Mayuk,
Yes, there can be many additional beliefs.
Love, Morty
thanks
I agree with this: The energy of inspiration is incredibly powerful. That’s why it’s essential to move into the ESSENCE of what we want. Beyond the better boss, the huge bank account, vibrant health, what is it that we’re after? Happiness? Peace? Love? When we get there and let God/Universe take over things move. It’s a question of determining what is important and then getting out of the way until it is time to take inspired action.
Dear Morty recently my wife of 20 years has started going out with a group of nice friends…each time she goes out ..i have strong feelings of abandonement…i know its not a reality but the issue persists…i have tried other modaliyied but nothing works..can you suggest something?
what your experience is connected to a recent passing of a loved one – mother or father. it takes time and the abandonement feelings will subside. There is a clinic in Los Angeles that can help. good luck
Paras, can you go along with her and then they can be your friends too? If not then why not?
Morty,
You wrote…
After reading it (my blog on LOA), please post a comment and tell me and my readers if my theory is consistent with your experience.
The best way I can explain this is to use your own concepts. You have said in so many words, events are happening with no inherent meaning and that the individual adds the meaning to an event and responses to the meaning one has added. I usually explain it by saying The 1st Forgotten Fundamental of An Exquisite Life is “The Individual Is the Meaning Maker”.
The meaning I have made is different than the meaning you have made and I’ve written about it in my books, programs and on my blog . Here goes…
It is not the difference between intention and inspiration that determines whether or not the Law of Attraction works. It works perfectly well, no matter what. One does not break the LOA, one ONLY demonstrates it. I’ll speak to intention and inspiration in a moment and before we can get to that there must be some clarity offered on the subject first.
To take advantage of LOA one must understand energy vibration and frequency. When one tunes their TV into the HBO channel one does not get Lifetime or CBS or any other TV station, when one turns to HBO, that is the only station received.
LOA is an energy vibrational law that works explicitly as tuning into HBO. Whatever one’s experience is in life it came through tuning in to the vibrational frequency that is equivalent to what is showing up in one’s life.
I am not saying that individuals do this on purpose, most of the time they do this by default, not meaning to and not understanding exactly how vibrational energy (LOA) works.
LOA is not for or against anything it only energizes, charges, builds and brings into material existence whatever station one has their focus of attention on. Which brings us to the two words you have presented.
Words are not the actual energy and the same word can have different vibrations which tune into different stations. There are two basic vibrational stations one can tune into with every word. The first station is the station of having what the word implies and the second station one can tune into (with the same word) is not having what the word implies.
In other words using the phrase “I am wealthy or I want to be wealthy” or any so-called positive statement can tune into either of the stations wealthy or poor and the way one knows this is by how it feels. If it feels good one is tuning in to the station that sends back the signal of wealth and that is what one hears and feels and then receives. If however it feels bad when one tunes into the station (says the statement, affirmation, etc) it means they are attracting the opposite of what they are saying, they are tuning into the station of lack of wealth other wise known as poor.
So it isn’t the word intention or inspiration that determines how the LOA effects one (and it always effects us), it is the vibration behind the word that determines whether one likes LOA or falsely assumes it doesn’t work.
And from my meaning of the words inspiration and intention I think you are onto something and may consider a slight shift in perspective.
LOA is always working and it works all the time with inspiration and intention. I think if it was understood that the energy of intention only has to be active for a quarter of a second to move into the Zero Point Field and produce the intended results it might encourage you to look at another word other than intention.
LOA works extremely fast with inspiration and intention for as you explained inspiration is self-generated, therefore it does not have to be re-generated over and over again.
Where beliefs come in and trip up up the process, slow it down or even cause the opposite of what one thought they were attracting is when people attempt to use motivation and intention to work with LOA.
Intention will always be involved as that is focus of attention, and remember all that is needed can be as little as a quarter of a second.
The challenge is when people attempt to use motivation which is an externally, other than self, generated energy vibration which requires constant re-generation to keep the vibration going to get what one wants.
Motivations are where limiting beliefs can gum up the works as they haven’t been dealt with. However with inspiration any limiting beliefs are suspended or dealt with which keeps the energy generated in the direction of what is wanted.
I submit based on my experience, and of course this is my understanding, that intention is not the issue as focus of attention, i.e. intention is always involved. My offering is that it is the use of motivation (which is an external, other than self, force which pushes) that causes some individuals to think LOA doesn’t work when they don’t get what they want.
On the other hand inspiration and intention will work faster, easier and quicker than motivation and intention every time. And inspiration carries one rather than pushing you.
Oh BTW… LOA does not bring you want you want or don’t want, it brings you what you vibrate.

Hi Morty,
Thankyou for your information! Just going through several beliefs and the “Who Am I Really?” is really helping me get perspective and eliminate negative feelings that happen to me! [woot! woot!]
A very strange SIDE effect is occurring that is a bit unsettling. In addition to:
A) releasing NEGATIVE emotions that occur (due to conscious realization… “oh, ok, that SAD feeling just comes from meaning I attribute to the events”)…
B) formerly POSITIVE emotions that occurred to me are also being released (due to the same conscious realization… “oh, ok, that HAPPY feeling just comes from meaning I attributed to the events).
I am ending up in a rather neutral space. It is like the “blackness” of life is dissolving away [:D]… but so are the “bright colors” [:/] , and I am left in a neutral “gray” area.
The underlying feeling: Life will never be as sad ever again! Life will never be as happy either.
Have you or any of your clients had any experience with this? Or do you have any recommendations?
thanks dude, you’re awesome.
~Sandip
Sandip,
What does happiness rely on? Is it something outside yourself or inside yourself? When I first listened and participated in the WAIR process, I felt a feeling of empowerment. It doesn’t mean you won’t feel sadness or happiness again; it just means you found your center-who you are-beneath the tides and surges of emotions and, perhaps more importantly, that this center(the creator) is observing the physical you(the creation). We identify so much with our thoughts, feelings, and actions that we think that is who we are so that for you it feels strange and alien. I also went through the Natural Confidence program and I can tell you that the more you do the WAIR, the more you’ll come to understand that thoughts, feelings, and actions are tools that our creation uses to get around in life and that center is your strength. Hope this sheds some light.
Love and Light,
Lauren
Interesting thoughts. Thank you.
I think that my hurdle comes from the fact that I so often identified myself with my HAPPY SELF. After busting through many of the self-esteem beliefs, I realize that I (CREATOR) am neither my HAPPY SELF (creation) nor my SAD SELF (creation).
I do see it as a more flexible place to be – neutral.
I guess I just fear that happiness will never be quite as strong or high, or last as long as it used to. After the WAIR process, I feel like the happiness just comes from empowering beliefs like “My self worth is inherent in me.” “God wants the best for me.”
Then my WAIR mind kicks in and thinks… oh… that is just another belief you created to make yourself feel better. Other explanations include: “Perhaps humans just create self esteem beliefs to make themselves feel better.” “Perhaps humans create religion and faith to be able to deal with the ups and downs of life.” etc…
Then I rapidly go back to neutral: the events of life are meaningless.
I almost want to be able to hard-wire JUST the empowering beliefs, but after going through the process ALL beliefs seem like silly creations we make to make ourselves feel better, and the world is really just a NEUTRAL place.
It is an interesting place to be in… rapidly coming back to neutral from happy or sad.
Maybe this is enlightenment.
Any other thoughts/perspectives?
Sandip,
Itsn’t the whole idea and value in Morty’s teaching ‘having choice’? BE HAPPY.. BE downright EXUBERANT .. be in love .. if that is your choice in this moment… the blues are definately bluer :-)
To be honest this really annoys me. It reminds me of the excuses Christians make when prayer doesn’t work, that’it’s because you don’t believein it, you don’t have a strong enough faith. I have believed in the law of attraction and found that it works for me always, but maybe that is because i don’t use it to pursue ‘stuff’ which i would see as greed. To say something only works if your thoughts are right is judgemental.
Nobody said anything about ‘right or wrong’. The LOA works all the time regardless of whether we are using it intentionally or not. We are living in a reality that mirrors back to us the equivalent of our thoughts and emotions. So, the challenge is to use Divine Law to our advantage, and by that I don’t necessarily mean to attract a new car, mate or whatever, but rather, to attract peace, abundance and love by staying out of ego as much as possible and thereby raising our vibrational frequency. When we are in resonance with our Essential Self then our life flows effortlessly, much like surfing on the crest of a wave.
To Vic and others who are unsure of the power of LOA. I will offer two examples. Both happened yesterday.
At lunch with my friend Sandra, we were talking about an issue that I am having with my neighbors who are acting in a very immature manner. Despite my best efforts to build a bridge, all has failed and I’m creating a great plan to leverage my property into a new LLC investment holding. I’m telling this to Sandra and she immediately says “Well, you’ll need a new place to live and I have the perfect townhouse for you.” Later that afternoon she sent me the listings and true to her word, they are perfect and affordable.
Also, during the conversation, the subject of model trains came up (I build them as a hobby). I had no sooner finished describing my trains when Sandra excitedly said “Oh my gosh, my boys love trains and they are dying to build a model train. Would you do it for them? Well of course I am and to top it all off, Sandra is German and the boys favorite model train set is made my Marklin. So I’ll give you three guesses as to the maker of my model trains. Yup, it’s Marklin. We both laughed and simultaneously said, ‘that’s LOA in action’.
Final example. On the drive home last night, I was thinking that I had to send an email to Morty explaining why I could not use Facebook for the Occurring Course (business reasons). When I got home, there was an email explaining the change to the new site! Again, LOA!
How does this happen? Use the Ho’poponno method (repeating mantra “I’m sorry, Please forgive me, thank you and I love you”) and ask the Universe for what you seek. It shall be granted. It’s working for me!
There is no scientific evidence at all for the Law of Attraction. Not only that, but it blames the sick for their own illnesses such as cancer. So what does it have to do with TLM, which has been studied and shown to work? I just don’t see any connection or even why one would be positive. Why would you want to connect TLM to such silliness?
OMG, Vic. there is no scientific evidence for WHY we are here, or WHY gravity works either. Don’t get hung up on the ‘scientific evidence’ paradigm. Science is fine for the realm of probabilities, but we are talking about the creative Source that gives rise to all that we see. We are talking about the Divine Mystery that gives enlivens all existance. Science is pure reductionism, for the most part. In other words, science misses the forest for the trees 90% of the time because it is to focused on tearing apart wholeness. In my own life, I have a multitude of evidence for LOA working. Again, we attract what we are ALWAYS. Read closely with an open, inquisitive mind my previous post.
In my opinion, it doesn’t matter if there is science behind the Law of Attraction or not. It works for me! I wouldn’t, based on my experience of either, say that(universally) one works and one doesn’t. I think it is personal.
I have personally received great benefit from the LOA.. that is all the proof I need.
Basing somethings worth or effectiveness on science alone, in my opinion, is silliness. Has science always been right, or does science at times prove things to be safe and effective and worthy, only to later find out that was not the case?
To clarify, LOA does not blame people for their illnesses. LOA, as far as I interpret it, would say that illness is there due in part to some part of their vibrational offering. It also says that anyone can rid themselves of any illness immediately.
It leaves us accountable for whatever results we have in life…not victims of it.
TLM is a great process that I am sure works for many. That’s great! I don’t need to be negative about it, but why would anyone feel a need to be negative about LOA if it works for some people and makes them happy? How is that positive?
Vic,
Science (the specific ‘ology’) is just the ‘study of ‘ NOT the ‘answer to’ … and different disciplines ARE studing ‘that which we cannot see’ in many different ways (MRIs, Physics) . We are all scientists (unpayed).. What does YOUR experiments tell you? And you may be correct – cancer may be something we attract in our immaturity. As a natural therapist, broken ‘belongingness’, feelings of ‘unloved’,or sexual violations are proved have real physical consequences . . but like most scientists – we are still learning..
P.S. THAT is why ‘releasing negative beliefs’ – seeing the reality – is such an advanced practise .. helps reduce neg. bio-chemistry therefore reducing Cancer ( i might add Arthritis)- by a number of different processes.
I hope you guys don’t actually tell people with cancer that they attracted it. Or their “immaturity” attracted it (Chrys, I said nothing of the sort so please don’t attribute that statement to me!). Just wait til you get sick and someone tells you that you attracted it. It won’t sound so cute then.
Dear Vic,
When a child wets their pants most parents don’t tell them it’s because they didn’t go to the bathroom earlier, even though that’s what happened.
When a person breaks a bone in their body no one tells them they just used the law of gravity to break their bone, even though that is exactly what happens.
If the best you can do when someone gets sick is offer a sound bit, “You ______ (attracted, created, whatever) that.” There probably would much help offered regardless of what you said.
Everyday, day in and day out, I work with people with broken bones, cancer, disease, etc and explaining that whether or not they know about gravity it still effects them. It’s time to stop looking at the past or what is and look to what you want. Let’s shift the energy vibrations and get your power back, get you back where you have some control.
Again LOA does not work by words, it works by vibrations. All words can have two vibrations 1) wanted 2) unwanted.
To Your Best,

I don’t see the difference between saying we are “accountable” for what we attract and saying it is our own fault, or suggesting we can control our vibrations to avoid harm befalling us. If we could control things like getting cancer, we would. If LOA is a Law and always works, then there is nothing we can do about it. We can’t defy gravity, we can only build cushions to catch our fall. We’re not accountable for gravity. If the LOA brings us cancer then it’s fatalism, which defeats the idea then we’re in control of our destiny. Gravity is fatalism. Laws are fatalism–meaning we can’t do anything about them. But with LOA you’re saying we’re in charge of something we have no control over! It’s either a Law or it isn’t. If we believe we will not get cancer we still could. If we believe we will, we still could. Do you disagree with this?
Vic,
It is apparent you don’t see a difference between the words “accountability” and “fault”. However, each word FEELS different when you say it. That different feeling is the vibration of the word.
On an other than conscious level (undeliberately) those who DON’T get cancer controlled it just like those who don’t get broken bones controlled that, or those who don’t get into auto accidents control that.
We can’t defy gravity, nor LOA, however we can use the fact that they are there to fly airplanes or to get what one wants. What would happen if you shifted from talking and thinking about what’s not wanted (cancer) and start singing a different tune (vibration) about health, wealth or happiness?
Fatalism is looking at the limiting side of the quarter. If something always acts a certain way there is always a way to use it to ones advantage. Just ask all those people who don’t get cancer or those who have more stuff (money, health, happiness). They are taking advantage of both the law of gravity and Attraction.
IF one is NOT vibrating on the cancer frequency one will not attract cancer or anything that is at the same frequency. One can hope not to get cancer or even SAY they believe they won’t. It is not a word thing. IF they think they might. That opens the vibration. If they know they won’t (a different vibration) they won’t.
It all goes back to your not see a difference between words like “accountability” and “fault” and yet if you took the time you could feel the difference between the words.
To Your Best,

Vic,
thanks for staying with the conversation.. I love blogs: we can clarify/learn so much.
You are quite right: having someone say ‘you attracted it’ would sound cruel. Discussions in the Doctor’s room would be different to those in a philosophy group. (did not mean to offend) However, there is cancer in our immediate family. Cancer is a fact and Something causes it. Q. ‘Would we get lung cancer if we didn’t smoke?’ or is it all the function of DNA? That is what I mean by our immaturity. There is so much we don’t know – we are immature. Are the things we attract due to Universal Energy, Fate, Vibration, Parallel realities, or our Subconscious (creating our reality)? It is like ‘Witches’, just because Salam probably had none, doesn’t mean ‘Something’ was not happening (people were convulsing and dying). Many cultures believe we can have effect in our lives, but what the Something is.. is still, perhaps, to be revealed. Eg. Research has lead doctors to advise actions that support a cancer free life (our ‘accountability’ re. smoking, sexual activities, sun screens etc). There are many events in our lives that we are ‘accountable’ for, they are our ‘fault’, but I believe it is often the ‘fault’ equal to a baby investigating a flame – it is their innocence and missing information not their faulty logic that leads to an action leading to a burnt consequence.
There are still many things missing in our knowledge re. Cause and Effect , eg. There is new evidence to suggest that Diabetes is one consequence of your Grandmother suffering a time of low nutrition! What is the need being fulfilled when accepting a cigarette for the first time, considering we now know so much about their potential toxicity? Would Hitler have needed to become powerful if he had had a loving father, or if Germany had not been lead to Bankruptcy by the victors of WWI ? A friend of mine (in her teen years) recalls a moment when being introduced to a child with a tragic condition, thinking she would eventually have a child like that too – and she did, though there are no cases in her family. Another friend believes she is ‘Always lucky’.
Ironically, these people were not trying to ‘avoid’ negative consequences.
Gravity is a Law, but, I believe Morty is saying we can be either do a lot of walking or consider the possibilities: learn about natural laws – and fly. I often wonder about what would happen if our political leaders participated in Morty’s course: what would our society look like?
Yes Chrys, I agree, there are lots of thing we don’t know. People who live a healthy lifestyle in order to avoid cancer are still thinking about cancer–so does that raise or lower their cancer vibration?
Dr. Vetter, there was no “reply” link to your last comment so I’m replying here. I think you have summed up the LOA argument: The people who did not get cancer did not get it because they vibrated on a non-cancer frequency. And the people who get cancer somehow were on the cancer frequency. Coincidentally (or perhaps a cosmic occurence,) Chrys brought up witches. In the Middle Ages, when persecutors threw accused witches into water and they drowned, then they were deemed innocent. If they floated, they were witches and were killed. That’s the same logic as you’re using with the cancer examples. Oh yes, don’t use the word logic! Yet when you’re talking about a law, logic enters into it. I agree science is faulty, but logic is simple.
PS, by “science is faulty” I meant that science obviously doesn’t know everything, and studies can be flawed or biases. Not that science itself is one way or another but it certainly has proved many ideas, such as that the earth is round, to be true beyond a doubt. With matters of the mind and heart, it’s far less exact.
Vic,
Once again you still miss the difference between words and you jump (make leaps in your) logical levels. ON the ground the law of gravity is one logical level, in the air the law of thermodynamics is another logical level, in space the law of inertia is another logical level. You keep arguing for the ground level logic law of gravity to be applied in places where there is no gravity and other laws operate. Yes logic is simple if you understand the levels and not so simple when you are on a different logical level from everyone else.
The first thing that would have to be established before any of this discussion goes anywhere is “What is everything made of?” What are atoms, quantum particles, photons (the smallest measurable bit) made of? Whatever that is called science has labeled it ‘energy’. Energy operates by vibrational frequency (not by any ability to float or not float) .
A light is considered turned on when the energy is flowing and off when the energy is blocked (again, nothing to do with floating or not floating in water).
Anything not wanted (cancer, broken bones, etc) move along energy vibrational lines, as does anything wanted. (As EVERYTHING is made up of energy and energy follows particular rules, i.e. resonance, flow (LOA), etc.

Dr. Vetter,
Do you thing we may Inherit our vibrations? If it is a given that we often inherit our subconscious patterning, attitudes and beliefs – would this also then extend to vibrations (cancers etc)?
Chrys,
First we do not inherit subconscious beliefs, we model them after we are here. We are born “creator” (clean slate-as Morty says ‘no inherent meaning’). We always ADD meaning as the 1st Forgotten Fundamental of Life is… “The Individual is the Meaning Maker (i.e. ‘Creator’). The 2nd Forgotten Fundamental of Life is “Energy flows, charges, and builds where attention goes.”
Patterns, attitudes and beliefs are things we PICK UP after we are here, we do not inherit them, no more than we inherit cancer. Cancer can be addresses from a number of different avenues besides medical chemistry. (Nutrition, Alkalinity, even energetically removed).
The vibration one enters physicality with is appreciation, love, acceptance ,etc. The other vibrations are modeled by those around one who enters physicality.
To get a better idea of how it works scroll down to my post under ‘Houston Vetter’ and get a practical understanding of how vibrations work.

Hi,
Great stuff! True that we are creator and not creation. And also, LOA works because LOA is not some new practice but a Law so to focus on what already is and to get alligned with it and see the evidence just by changing our focus. Now referring to inspiration vs intentions. Intetentions which are in agreement with divinity are manifested as it has to do with the highest good or in other words expression of the ‘highest’. But I have a question here, the creator that we are is basically ‘well being’ and so when we have something inspirational we are supported by the universe in the natural and LOA works in this scenerio, as what I have understood from the blog post. However, Hitler was also conciousness in disguise and the intentions he had were for sure egoistic, but he did manifest some of his intentions on the physical level. We see many people they are able to do that in today’s time also. For example drinking(Liqour), it cannot be a desire/insipartion of the consiousness but they easily find it or say attract/create it. The example is indicative, but this principle is applicable to many of other things on ego level, where they do create/manifest/attract things having an ego desire which never seems a divine insipartion. Please clarify
Thanks
Ramesh
Maybe the Law of Attraction supports Inspiration because there is no Resistance in Inspiration, whereas with intention a person might “push” or “pull” while trying to manifest.
Yesterday in the midst of decluttering, I came across Wayne Dyer’s book “The Power of Intention”. What strikes me more than anything is the number of “tips” he says will bring you into alignment with Source. I once admired his books and what he brought to mind; now his advice sounds mechanical. After eliminating beliefs and learning the tools of the Occurring Course, I am becoming increasingly more trusting in what my consciousness inspires in me. That said, my ego(thoughts, actions, and emotions) is more willing to cooperate and helps with the physical side of manifestation without the baggage of years of limiting beliefs.
Right now I’m in the midst of New Year’s resolutions which are based on my inspirations. I’m decluttering and getting rid of “stuff” that hasn’t seen the light of day for years-I don’t overthink on what to throw in the trash; I just do it. And next month I am going to continue a writing a writing course I discontinued five years ago. I, too, have read quite a bit on vibration and have “Ask and It is Given”. My vibration changed when I eliminated a bunch of my limiting beliefs. “Like unto itself is drawn” because I trust my inspirations which fuels my intentions. Having intention without inspiration makes life drudgery instead of an adventure.
Love and Light,
Lauren

Great stuff!!! What an amazing transformation taking place in consciousness NOW.
‘You always get what you ARE NOW’. SOURCE ALWAYS mirrors back to us what we are NOW thinking/projecting. The difference is that what we WANT is often not in vibrational harmony with what we ARE. If you want more, you must BECOME MORE.
Also (from quantum thought), we have POSSIBILITY thinking vs. probability thinking. Whenever we are in FEAR our reality COLLAPSES into probability, and thus our choices are limited by ego. EGO, often synonomous with FEAR, always keeps us in the realm of probabilties, limitiation, and ‘what can I get from this?’. The trick is to train AWARENESS to stay present in bigger reality of NOWNESS which opens up the floodgates of the realm of UNLIMITED POSSIBILITIES! Then we are in our naturaly state, which is lovingness, givingness and one with our SOURCE. Remember, fear, resistance, trying to ‘get’, feeling seperated collapses/reduces our world into probabiltiy. Love, surrender, positive action, gratitude and NOW awareness opens up to DIVINE FLOW and UNLIMITED POSSIBILITIES.
I think the most “true” message of Law of Attraction comes from Abraham-Hicks.
Out of all the systems, messages, self-help gurus, workshops, books out there, I have received the best results out of really paying attention to and living what they teach.
Most people think just because you set an intention ( or have an inspiration).. you will get it. Not true. You have to be a vibrational match ( no gaps in your energy) for that to happen. Otherwise, we would all just be manifesting anything that popped into our heads and that would not be good!
I think an intention can be inspirational and an inspiration can become an intention. These are just words.. and who is to truly know whether one or the other comes from consciousness, ego, source or a mix of all of these things? I don’t think it matters unless it gets you into a great feeling place ( which is an allowing state) and will therefore help you attract that which you intend to have, inspire to have or wish to have.
Abraham really says it the best in my opinion:
When you begin to understand Law of Attraction, and you understand that which is like unto itself is drawn, then it is easier and easier to understand that you are offering a signal, and the entire Universe responds. And when you finally get that, and you begin to exercise some deliberate control about the signal that you offer, then it really begins to be fun, because then you recognize that nothing happens outside of your creative control. There are no things that happen by chance or by circumstance. There is nothing that is happening because of something you vibrated a long time ago or in a past life. It is not about what you were born into. It is only about what you are, right now, in this red hot fresh moment emitting. — Abraham
Law of Attraction works all times. People just assume when it doesn’t work ( and they don’t get what they want) it’s a fault in the Law of Attraction, rather than having the awareness it is really their vibration in regards to whatever topic at hand.
Everything is from Source…even our egos. That is just another construct of our “reality.” In my opinion, the distinction between intention and inspiration is only of benefit, as I said above, if it feels good and helps you get in alignment.
Happy Manifesting!
Carrie
Recently I’ve been thinking about how the Law of Attraction reconciles with the Lefkoe method, and I thought that, in order for the LOA to work, you must really believe that you can get what you want to get, and eliminating limiting beliefs will help you get there. But I don’t know what to think about this thing with the intention or inspiration.
To be honest, I’ve been having the intention to learn Japanese for years now, and the LOA doesn’t seem to be helping much.
I don’t remember any examples of it working for me with an inspiration, I think it’s mainly because I almost never have inspirations.
Unless we count learning English. To me that was natural, it was effortless, it wasn’t an intention, but rather, as if I was destined to speak it. Not once I thought of pamperiong my ego with that goal or what people would think of me. And I learned on my own, enjoying it, without help, without teachers and without courses. I was fluent by age 12. With Japanese it’s another story: I care too muh about the “status” I’ll achieve once I speak it, and studying it doesn’t exactly feel blissful to me.
Six years of “studying” = about 10% of the language learned.
Maybe to me, learning English was an inspiration and learning Japanese is an intention?
This may seem a bit trivial but several years ago, my parents left for two weeks in Europe and asked me to stay with my grandmother for whom they provided round the clock care. I agreed but I also knew that I would need something to occupy my time because my grandmother would take frequent naps.
I had a vision of building a model railroad layout in my parents upstairs enclosed porch. I quickly drew up the layout including measurements, track plan, scenery etc… and then set about finding a carpenter to help me build the table on which the railroad would sit. With the table built and installed, I worked day and night to lay the track and scenery, test equipment including lights, signals, etc and finally run the train. It was an amazing time and the point of this story is that I literally lost track of time while working on this project. I was so inspired to build and run this railroad that I ‘attracted’ everything I needed and then became immersed in its construction and performance. If I simply created an intention, I would have stopped myself by creating excuses based on limiting beliefs of why it couldn’t be done. Instead, I let my inspiration and the attendant emotions drive the process to its happy conclusion.
Hope this makes sense. Morty, I can’t wait to take your Occurring Course!

Hey Monty,
This explains why i is so difficult to get anything done in a large organization, what is inspiration for top management is intention for the rest of the emplyees – this also goes for section within an organization; R&D and the rest of the orginazation i.e. Production etc. It takes a lot of management input to get the work done except if the employees are insired and then it is no work – it is fun, it is natural. Orville Wright apparently said to a reporter after Kitty Hawke – “We could not wait for morning to come!”
However that being said, even inspiration needs hard work and once you are inspired you have to keep your eye on the ball and keep working. Edison tried how many times to make the light bulb? He to said to a reporter “I know 5,000 ways how not to make a light-bulb.”
Inspiration vs Intention is always how it seems to work for me. My intentions always fall apart and/or ‘run out of gas’ eventually.
The only trouble for me is that inspiration comes and goes and I cannot see any continuity. I have spent most of my life ‘becalmed’ in the Wilderness Experience where nothing is happening because nothing can happen because the power of inspiration is not there.
It seems clear to me that the Richard Bransons, Oprahs, etc. of this world have a continuous ongoing relationship with inspiration (aka “Purp0se”).
I have spent my entire life trying to find inspiration and stay “tapped in” to it. And to no avail.
It seems to me that some people are blessed with a more or less continuous relationship with inspiration while others are cursed with being left by the side of the road of Life.
Hi Morty,
How about looking at it this way?
When we set an INTENTION which is based on our beliefs/ego, ther eis always a factor of “fear-doubt” like negative feelings attached to it because since it is the ego that wants it we may knowingly or unknowingly fear that we may not get it just because we so want it, or subconsciously think we do not deserve it or simply doubt whether it is actually good for us or not, etc… hence never really being in the aligned vibrational frequency to match to that of our intention/desire… Whereas when we have an INSPIRATION that is divinely inspired then there is the absence of fear-worry like negative elements to affect our vibrational state and we remain in full alignment with the vibration of what our inspiration means to go to.
I like your focus on ‘inspiration’ in your theory, Marty, and I’d like to add something by asking a few questions: Is it possible that an inspiration is simply the act of accessing or being open to ‘what already is’ and so it feels like it is working? Is everything else simply the focus of the mind pretending or resisting ‘what already is’ doesn’t exist or shouldn’t exist? If so, does this explain why your clearing techniques and other clearing techniques seem to make it feel like ‘we’ are attracting something?
Peace,

I don’t think the distinction is that easy. Otherwise we would never get what we fear, if the spiritual mind is fearless and the ego is the only part of us that can fear.
Hey, Morty!
I’d have to agree with about the distinction between inspiration and intention. Though I wouldn’t say that in one instance the Law of Attraction is working and in the other it isn’t. What kind of Law would that be? :)
I believe it’s about us not working in harmony with the Law.
Let me explain:
Like you said, our ‘intentions’ come from our beliefs, what we have been taught, what we have bought into, it comes from the mind, not from our Source. And without the backing of our Source, we cannot create very much.
For example, I might ‘think’ I want a ferrari, a yacht and a big house, but my Source really knows that that’s not what I really want, that that comes from my beliefs about success and happiness that I’ve picked up and haven’t examined yet.
In other words – it doesn’t come from who-I-really-am, therefore it has no real power.
But, it all serves a very good purpose – to help me know myself better. It mirrors back to me my own beliefs, so that I can examine them and change, if I don’t like what I’m getting.
All those ‘mind-based’ goals or intentions are helping me to realize my true self, come back to my soul passion and be the person (and live the life) that I truly have become.
On the other hand, when I get an ‘inspiration’ – it comes from my True Self, my Soul, from who-I-have-become, and it has the full backing of my Source, of the entire Universe, therefore it’s easy to create it.
But it’s about me being in alignment with my Source, not Law of Attraction working or not working.
Best wishes,
Reinis
Well said Reinis!
Hey,
I agree, if it is a kaw it always works; the law of gravity always works and is always in proportion to the bodythat attracts (gravity is less on the moon than on earth, smaller mass.)
We do not always get the rsults we want or set our mind to but that may be because we are not “inspired” or it is not our soul purpose or our mindset. In any situation our mindset will always win out, no matter what we set our mind to.
And yes, our not achieving is feedback that we need to examine our mindsets, beliefs etc. Brad Yates says there are no mistakes only feedback – some we find positive, some negative, but it is “only feeddback.”
Exactly! :)
Feedback or reflection of our beliefs, our consciousness, so that we can consciously choose again.
I have often wondered why the LOA can work at some times and not others.
In my 20s I was a dancer and worked extremely hard for years and years, often getting major disappointment and knock backs along the way.
But I knew without doubt that if I kept going, somehow, someway I would get there. I never once had the ability to doubt it, the feeling was massive, so I ignored the somewhat impossible “how” and the terrible downs from getting bad results or dance experiences.
After 10 years I became a world champion and the thing is, I knew it was going to happen one day. The hard work, blood, sweat and tears is not something that comes naturally to me in other areas of my life, but dancing came from my soul.
Because I was so inspired to keep going and take constant massive action, many many other things fell into place to ensure that the right people, teachers, dance opportunities were presented to me. I met opportunity and the LOA half way.
When my dancing career ended naturally through age (29!), I was lost for a few years feeling that I had had my passion and opportunity. I sat around for a while putting intentions out there, and was depressed on and off, feeling lost and useless. I felt that the exciting part of my life was over.
Now I am beginning to understand that connecting with yourself is not always easy, often you are up against others negative opinions. We are not one trick ponies and dancing is not the only thing I can work at and be good at.
I have always wanted to write and a recent redundancy has given me the opportunity to pursue it. I always had a love for writing, but had never focused my full attention on it, believing the opinions of others that we have to do “normal” jobs. But now I can feel that old passion bubbling away.
Connect with your real self, regardless of any doubt at the beginning and keep taking small action. Little by little. Then you will see the LOA at work, like I am again now.
Thanks Morty for your blog, I love reading it.
