The Whole Mama

I was watching Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and my husband said that, clearly Roald Dahl had no idea about the Law of Attraction as there was no way that Charlie would ever have found the ticket as the preceding scenes had shown how very pessimistic he was and how stuck in disappointment and despair he and his family were.

But I explained how it was completely in line with Law of Attraction.

When Charlie experienced his huge desire to find a ticket and go into the chocolate factory, his Inner Being was immediately in alignment with that and expanded and had already created the reality of Charlie finding a golden ticket. However, when Charlie believed that he wouldn’t or felt disappointed that he hadn’t when he opened his birthday chocolate, he was out of alignment with what his Inner Being already knew to be true. Which is why he felt the negative feelings so strongly, the contrast was so huge, as his feelings were telling him that he wasn’t looking in the direction of his desire.

All the Law of Attraction needed, was a very small window of allowing, to be able to manifest for Charlie the reality of his immense desire for what he wanted. When he picked up the coin from the road, he immediately jumped from despair and disappointment to hope and that put him in a complete state of allowing so that he could receive his desire from Source and he found the golden ticket in the chocolate bar he bought with the coin from the pavement.

If you have an immense desire and you have been nurturing that desire and you can feel the strong contrast between where you are and where you wish to be, know that the negative feelings are simply showing you that you’re not focusing on what you want in your thoughts and self talk. You need only to bring yourself into a state of allowing to give Source the possibility of manifesting your desire. You need only to remove the doubt that it’s possible.

How are you feeling right now? What are you thinking about right now?

Wouldn’t it be nice if …. you could be, do or have this thing you’re desiring?

Try listing the details of your dream, preceded by “Wouldn’t it be nice if …”

How does that feel?

Better I hope.

Wouldn’t it be nice if … hmmm … I’m off to do some allowing

Wow!

My kids love this book.  I love this book.  Does anyone not love “Where The Wild Things Are” by Maurice Sendak? And now we can look forward to the movie inspired by the book by Spike Jonze.

Being True To Yourself

As Forest Whitaker says of the movie’s main theme in this interview:  It’s about finding your own place in the world.  Max “wants to find comfort but still wants to be himself.  It’s about wanting to be true to himself.  That’s the universal principle”.  I know it’s what I strive for in myself and my dynamic with my family and in my life as an unschooler and an Abraham-Hicks student or someone trying to live a passion led life.

We’ll definitely be seeing this movie and I’ll report back with our review.

Review

I was lucky enough to get preview tickets to this film recently and I loved it. If you’re on a journey of self discovery, into Being Authentic, Living a Passion-Led Life and Being True To Your Inner Being and the journey that takes you there through family, personal and abundance issues, you’ll probably love it too. All set against a backdrop of a nostalgic, memory-not-fact based view of Woodstock by director Ang Lee.

UK Green Festivals

I’m also a veteran of Glastonbury Festival and my family’s been involved with green festivals in the UK for nearly a decade and watching the set up of the festival and the resulting… oh, I won’t say and spoil your enjoyment, but suffice it to say that I saw *many* familiar characters and *many* familiar scenes!

Advisory

I’d be OK with viewing this film with my whole family and discussing anything as the questions arose, though you can view a parent’s guide here to see if it would be right for your family.

In Cinema

The film was released in the US in August 2009 and will be released in the UK on 13 November 2009.
