Are you contributing to crime by reading the newspapers? 1
28th Sep 2008
Hello lovely people
Did you miss me? It has been a busy week, with upgrading the blog software and moving loads of stuff to a new server. And they told me not to touch the blog for a week when it was too late to let you know.
Anyway, I am back and there are some really exciting activities in the pipeline.
If you are not following my email series on interfaith holidays yet, you are missing out. You can join us by entering your name and email address in the blocks on the blog. You will continute to receive the blog entries if you have also subscribed to the RSS feed on the blog.
And don’t worry, I will not flood your mailbox. We all have interesting lives to live.
Yes, I am making the shocking allegation that you are aiding and abetting crime simply by reading the newspaper, but hear me out.
Let me give the background first. There have been at least eighteen victims of knife crime in London over the period of eight months since January 2008. Newspaper reports indicate that the number of people charged with knife crimes have fallen by 50%, and at the same time the number of teenage murders involving knifes have risen dramatically.
A teenager that lives in one of the most dangerous areas in London was quoted as saying “How are the police or the government going to be able to sort this out if we as kids don’t know why this sort of stuff’s going on?” This child is very wise.
The response of the local government is a website called London Against Gun and Knife Crime. Obviously the creators of the website have never heard of the Law of Attraction.
How does this Law of Attraction work? I will give you my understanding of how it works. We think thoughts and these thoughts create waves all around us. The waves resonate with similar waves and then we attract the similar waves to us. The whole process snowball until our thoughts materialise.
Let me give you an example. You read the newspaper. There are articles about crime and bad news and negativity all over the pages. You do not think about this and step back and say “I want love in my life”. You read it all and think “I hope I don’t ever get mugged.”
Imagine a massive ear listening to your thoughts – an unbiased ear. The ear will not hear the word “don’t” because the ear is unbiased and does not judge – we add the judgement. The ear hears “hope” and “mugged”.
Over the next weeks and months you continue to read the newspapers every day, and for some reason all the articles about muggings and violent crimes catch your eye. Every time you read such an article, you think a similar thought, for example “More muggings – I wonder who is next.” The massive ear hears “muggings” and “next”. Or you think “one of these days someone close to me will get mugged” and the massive ear hears “someone” and “me” and “mugged”.
Then the cousin of the sister of the brother-in-law of a friend’s friend gets mugged and you hear about it. Somehow it confirms the thoughts you have had about mugging and you say “I told you so”. The next “logical” thought in your mind is “one of these days I will get mugged”. The massive ear still does not judge – like a robot that is there to simply obey commands and to act. The ear hears “I” and “get mugged”. And the ear puts you in touch with similar waves around you and your own wave of fear and trepidation and anticipation gets stronger – you just “know” it will happen to you one day. To be continued.

Hi Elsabe, I’m happily not contributing to crime this way as I am actively not reading the newspapers nor am I watching the TV news. In fact, I think TV (and how it is used) contributes greatly to our modern-malaise.
The rap group Public Enemy said it best, “Don’t believe the hype!”
