Around the first of this year, my wife talked me into ordering an identity theft prevention kit we saw featured on TV. It’s not something I generally concern myself with, but she insisted, reminding me that some years ago one of her credit cards was compromised and had to be cancelled and reissued. The price was good, so I ordered one for each of us.
A couple of nights later, before the package arrived at the house, I got an email from my bank. Not a phishing email, but a real alert that the bank had detected fraudulent activity on my ATM debit card. I called the 800 number in the email and confirmed that the transaction of which they were suspicious was indeed bogus. They cancelled my card and said they’d send a new one out right away. In the meantime, I was to stop by my local bank and get a temporary card so I could continue to use the ATM and make purchases until the new card arrived.
While I’m acquainted with a number of people to whom this sort of thing has happened, this was a first for me. We had the aforementioned experience with my wife’s card, but since then it’s been clear sailing until this little incident. More recently, an online payment processor with whom I have an account cancelled the debit card they’d issued because they “were notified that the card may have been compromised”, as they put it.
So, the question is: did I attract the credit card fraud by ordering the identity theft kit? After all, the Law of Attraction says we get what we think about, right?
While there’s no question I attracted it, as we all attract everything that’s in our lives at any given time, these events were in what Abraham calls my “vibrational escrow” long before the identity theft kit showed up on the tube. In other words, that’s a vibration that I’d had going on for a while and wasn’t aware of until it manifested.
It’s difficult to live in this world and interact with people without hearing about the hot topics of the day. If you’re at all aware, you’re going to be receiving what’s being broadcast even if you hardly notice it. My wife is constantly amazed at how much I absorb even though we don’t watch popular TV, nor listen to the radio except in the morning as our wake-up alarm. I don’t read the newspaper except to skim the sports and comic sections. I don’t surf the Net looking for news. In short, I have as little contact with popular culture as possible and yet I have a pretty good handle on what’s going on in the world.
It’s all about vibration. We are vibratory receivers and interpreters and the vibrations are being broadcast constantly. We receive the ones to which we’re most closely tuned, which is either the good news or the bad news depending on where you’re tuned at the moment.
In this case, I had allowed myself to be tuned to the Credit Card Fraud Channel, so to speak, long enough to develop a vibration around it that eventually manifested as two separate incidents. I simply need to clean up my vibration around that issue and I believe I have for the most part.
The lesson here is that we need to become aware of our vibrations and clean up the ones that don’t quite resonate as we’d like them to. This one wasn’t huge for me, so it’s not surprising it got by me. The manifestations were annoying, but hardly critical so it’s obvious the vibration wasn’t a big one.
We tend to notice the larger vibrational issues more, which makes sense. What we don’t do is recognize them for what they are and work on cleaning them up before the manifestations occur. That’s a discussion for another time.
For now, just be aware that if you’re not feeling good, your guidance system is trying to tell you something. What it’s telling you is that you’re headed toward a manifestation that you’re not going to like when it happens. Recognize that, identify the bad-feeling vibration and work on tuning yourself to a frequency that feels better.
