constantly reflecting

Law of attraction is always working. It is just that some confusion exists about how it works. A deeper understanding is needed to know why we're getting what we don't want and how to change it to get what we want.
Like attracts like according to our dominant vibrations. Another way of saying this is we attract according to our beliefs. Law of Attraction is not working according to our thoughts, wants or desires UNLESS our beliefs and dominant vibrations are in harmony with them. When we see someone attracting a particular situation, we can never know what their vibration is on the subject.
So if we have a desire, but our dominant beliefs or thoughts are of lack, then we get lack. This is an appearance of opposites but it is actually like attracting like. If we want a relationship, but our dominant belief is that we are unworthy, either we don't get a relationship, or we get one that makes us feel unworthy. If we have a strong belief in difficulty and struggle, we may sometimes get what we want and lose it. When we want wealth and financial ease but we constantly think about how much we want it and don't yet have it, we draw to us experiences of lack and frustration.
Our dominant vibe may not be what we think it is. Often we are too close to it to see it for the belief that it is. Our beliefs are transparent to us; we act through them as if we are looking through a dirty pane of glass. Often, we take our dominant vibes as reality and we act on these beliefs without realizing how strongly we are influenced by them. Remember: beliefs are ideas about reality, not reality itself. With awareness we can see these beliefs for what they are and not the 'reality' that we take for granted.
Our dominant creating mechanism is moving toward wholeness. We and I include all consciousnesses on earth - are always moving toward greater self expression and greater expression of Source through us. So whatever we vibrate is what we get more of. We get to chose whether our self expression will be joyful or limiting.
So the question always arises: Why do positive poles of a magnet repel and opposite poles attract? A magnet is a device that allows the flow of magnetic energy. That is its 'wholeness'. Two positive poles together don't allow this flow. Consequently they don't create a 'wholeness' for the magnet. A positive and a negative allow the magnet to express it's fullness as a 'being' that flows of energy. When two or more magnets are placed end to end, they create an even bigger magnet. Self expression at its greatest. ("Whenever two or more are gathered in my name...")
Two similar energies do not create harmony or a chord. Two similar energies are just more of the same - there is no contrast that creates beauty, pattern, or energy. For balance, there has to be an up and a down. Even light only appears in relation to its lack and a vibrating wave has both an up phase and a down phase - not just an up.. A victim has a need to feel victimized. Another victim would not fulfill the need. An aggressor has a need to be aggressive toward a person with a victim consciousness. Two aggressors cancel each other out. Remember, in elementary school, as soon as someone stepped up to the bully, he'd stop being a bully and they often ended up as friends?
The mystery of 'like attracts like' might be better expressed as complementary energies coming together to create a 'whole'. Consider it as polarities rather than opposites. Think of a lock and key, or a hand and glove or a hot dog and bun. So with greater wholeness as the objective, it can sometime appear that opposites attract, when actually it is all for the greater expression of the One.
Not sure this is clear to you all, but it sure is clear to me. (laughing)
