Law of Attraction & Circles

Upon listening to the words from the great Native American, Black Elk, I felt a connection with him. Thinking about life in his terms really puts a whole new perspective on the world around you. It was really a whole different kind of thought process which he stated with... "Everything the Power of the World does is in a circle."

When you think about circles versus squares in depth it really makes a lot of sense. A square is more closed, more rigid in its stature than a never ending circle that just goes round. It would seem in a symbolist point of view that a circle appears more open with a round about way of thought than a solid hard edge square.

This reminds me of the Law of Attraction. As Black Elk gave examples of what the square has had an effect on, you can easily see the parallels between both kinds of thinking and how that can be used as symbolism. In the Law of Attraction, you get what you put out into the universe. If your life revolves around squares, and it has a certain way of thinking that goes with it, you in turn will eventually become a square and keep yourself closed to change.

More importantly, if you believe and say to yourself that things are the way they are, that is what they'll be. You create the world around you by your thoughts and actions, if those thoughts and actions are square, then so you will become. The same goes for the circle. If being in a circle makes you 'well rounded' then that is a real difference from revolving around squares. There is always something to be said for someone who is 'well rounded', maybe that is where the saying comes from? Someone who lives as an open circle is someone who is willing to try new and different things. If that is where it comes from, it is easy to draw the symbolism further with rigid square type of people.

You always attract your likeness, in terms of life you get what you put in. It has been proven that environment changes your way of life and the way you perceive things. There are circles everywhere and the man made square could, in fact, come with man made consequences. In the end, it really is all a game of perception and what you chose to see. This could make absolute sense, it could also seem like totally far fetched things. Whether you believe it or not, it is what it is.
