Universal energy
QUESTION: Whenever I read about the Law of Attraction, every source states that requests are granted by “the universe.” To be more specific, is this your higher self or your guides? And what is Universal Energy? ~Jane, UK
ANSWER: The majority of the materials that speak about the Law of Attraction are trying to appeal to mainstream people, to average citizens on the street who need to have a belief in something because their world is not to their liking and they need to believe it can be changed. A lot of the general public right now still take part in organized religion, or are those who believe in a god outside of themselves who is required to change things for them and to satisfy their needs and desires. These books and people are substituting the word “universe” to imply a god source or divine presence outside of and different from the people themselves.
We say that the soul attracts to itself that which it needs to experience for growth and understanding its own nature. Everything that exists is energy. The conscious aspect of this energy is universal, all knowing, all seeing, always present, and magnificent in every facet since its point of origin is the initial spark of energy in the cosmos that religions call God and we refer to as Source energy.
Everything comes from this Source energy, which is, in totality, called “universal energy.” All souls, and everything else that exists, are composed of this universal energy since they, at one time, were a part of that mass. When you intentionally call to yourself a needed experience, the circumstances to provide that event are brought to you by the energy around you—universal energy if you like—which includes your higher self and your guides, since all are a part of the everything.
