Why am I surrounded by idiots?

People spend a lot of time in my office asking me "Why do I keep attracting this?!" The interesting part of the law of attraction, etc. is that the more we ask that question, the more opportunities we have to answer it with those things we keep attracting. We attract more and more of the things we find so irritating until we figure out why it is we find it irritating, to begin with.

This is a difficult concept for people to get when it comes to the teachings of this manifestation magic. They want to believe they are a victim of their life. Maybe because it is easier than taking full responsibility. Maybe it is because they don't know where to start if they have to think they are the point of focus. Or maybe it has something to do with fitting in with other people who are struggling to manifest the old ways. Whatever the reason people want to reject this idea, is the very reason they are having these experiences.

Here is an example, one of my clients asks me "Why am I surrounded by idiots? Why is everyone in my world clueless and self-absorbed?"

This very question is kind of like raising your hand in class. Your teacher is going to demonstrate your question, so you get your answer. How do they demonstrate it? Not by giving you the opposite, but by providing a closer look. In other words, bringing more clueless idiots into your life so you can figure out why you are attracting it.

The more you ask why you are having a certain experience, the more of those experiences you attract. It is easier said than done to change this because people are their beliefs and it is often hard for them to suddenly see themselves surrounded by a different type of person when they are so used to being surrounded by what they typically see.

Ask a different question, get a different answer

A better question might be simply to ask "Why can't I surround myself with aware, informed people who are capable of thinking beyond themselves?" At least this is bringing in the subject you truly want. However, it may take a few more “idiots” to get your attention in order for you to make the shift to attract what you desire.

You can also just ask a more neutral question such as “what other types of people are out there and how can I meet them?” That curiosity shifts the vibrational relationship with the “idiots” and allows a new truth to slide into its place. Your emotional and vibration state does matter when you ask these questions. If you are still just resisting what is, you get more of that anyway. Accept first what is occurring and then be willing to see how it can change.

What do you believe?

That is the other part of the equation. That part that says "I want this, but I don't believe I can have it." The part of you that rejects the people you want to attract because you don't believe it can truly exist. The part of you that doesn’t think you deserve to have it.

Here is another example. I have a client who has asked for more people who "get" what she is into regarding energy work. Then she attracts those types of people, but she continuously rejects them because she doesn't believe they are truly the ones she has asked for and still must have "an agenda" even though they say they don't. Her belief system is fighting with her law of attraction.

This happens all the time. This may sound ridiculous to you, but I bet if you have done any of this law of attraction work and you see yourself not getting what you think you want. It is because you don't 100% believe it can be possessed. There is some belief system that you are not allowing to release.

Play with this a bit.

Use the question "How come this keeps happening to me?" in a different way. Instead of asking from a “pity me” space, ask as if you are in a classroom space with true curiosity. Ask yourself that question honestly and openly and see what answers come to you.

You will get your answers. Some of them may be answers you don't want to hear, but you have to be willing to hear it. For example, maybe you are attracting less intelligent people in your space because you have the desire to feel superior intellectually. You like being the "smartest" and being able to look around and not see anyone as smart as you. You might even like complaining about it. Nevertheless, you can make a shift if you want to if you let go of the benefits this thing is secretly providing.

It might take some time to heal the layers of your blocks, but trust me, it is a big world and you can have the people, things, and experiences you truly want to have.

Give it a shot!
