Wednesday is Question and Answer Day on the blog…a time for exploring many of the questions that people have recently asked about the nine Conversations with God books and the New Spirituality. Here’s this week’s entry…
Topic: Law of Opposites
Question asked by: Brett
Question: I’m stuck here and I don’t understand in my mind how these two very important laws work together when it seems that they are indeed opposites.

In Bringers of the Light you explain Principle #4, which I agree with and can see developing in my life very clearly. What I don’t understand is how that works in conjunction with the Law of Attraction.
Let me give you a example, I have chosen to be several things in my life, one of those is love. I will be love wherever I go and I will display love in what ever I do. Those around me will feel love when they are around me. So naturally (or super naturally) every type of non-loving attitude has shown up on schedule.
Yes, it has been very bad at times. But the Law of Attraction says that what I think about expands and it is drawn to you, so I would think that love and those with loving attitudes would be drawn to me. How are these two opposing realities reconciled?
Neale’s Response: I have received so many questions about this exact topic that I have produced an entire chapter about it in my new book, HAPPIER THAN GOD, scheduled for release next month.
In brief, the Law of Opposites creates a context within which that which you seek to experience may be made manifest in physical reality. For example, you cannot experience yourself as “the light” in the absence of darkness. Therefore, you will actually call in the darkness in order to experience a yourself as The Light.
Do not be discouraged when the Law of Opposites plays its effect in the process of personal creation. It is natural and to be expected. Remember that what you resist persists. Simply embrace what is going on as the out picturing of perfection itself. It is as Byron Katie writes in her wonderful book, Loving what is. Peace fills your heart when you simply love what is going on right now.
There is more to be said on this subject, and I invite you to be on the lookout for my new book.
