Let us continue to explore the Law of Attraction and Repulsion. Since these two are usually mentioned together we need to study them as two branches of the same law.
Since we have been talking about sound it may be of interest to give some DK quotes about sound as it relates to this law.
A simplification of the idea may come to you perhaps in the recognition of sound as the agent of the law of attraction and repulsion. Letters on Occult Meditation Pg 54
JJ Comment:
Sound is the agent of the law of attraction and repulsion and this is the law that governs creation and dissolution of form.
Under the Law of Economy man hears. Sound permeates matter and is the basis of its subsequent heterogeneity. Under the Law of Attraction, man touches and makes contact with that which is brought to his attention through sound waves of activity. Treatise on Cosmic Fire Pg 198-199
When Spirit and matter sound the same note evolution will cease. When the note sounded by the form is stronger than that of Spirit, we have attraction between forms. When the note sounded by Spirit is stronger than that of matter and form, we have Spirit repelling form. Here we have the basis for the battlefield of life, and its myriads of intermediate stages... Treatise on Cosmic Fire Pg 275
We could talk about this law for a long time but time constraints dictate that we merely cover some highlights.
One interesting thing discussed in relation to the Law of Attraction and Repulsion is its relationship to consciousness. Let me quote again:
In manifestation the two are approximated; they interact upon each other; activity supersedes quiescence; positivity replaces negativity; movement is seen in place of passivity, and the two primordial factors are no longer neutral to each other, but attract and repulse, interact and utilize. THEN AND ONLY THEN, CAN WE HAVE FORM ANIMATED BY LIFE, AND CONSCIOUSNESS DEMONSTRATED THROUGH APPROPRIATE VEHICLES. Treatise on Cosmic Fire Pg 227
But - during the great cycle of evolution - when the third factor of Mind comes in, and when the point of balance is the goal, the cyclic display of the interaction between Spirit and form is seen, and the result is the ordered cycles of the planets, of a human being, and of an atom. THUS, THROUGH REPETITION, IS CONSCIOUSNESS DEVELOPED, AND RESPONSIVE FACULTY INDUCED. Treatise on Cosmic Fire Pg 276
Atomic consciousness, demonstrating through successive states of repulsion and attraction. IN THIS LAST DEFINITION LIES THE KEY TO THE OTHER STATES OF CONSCIOUSNESS. Treatise on Cosmic Fire Pg 279
Question:
DK gives some very interesting hints in this material. The greatest hint of all is the Key to increasing our consciousness. Can you see it? If so tell us what you think it is.
