In this post I want to share one of the most powerful Universal Laws that intertwine with the Law of Attraction.
In fact it is so important, that it is the core-reason, why some people happen to attract their desires effortlessly or try to manifest for years, yet…fail.
Most advice skips over this critical principle, which is the cornerstone of all attainment. The secret to why you are not manifesting is:
The Universal Law of Polarity.
If you’ve never heard of it—or if you have but haven’t understood its full power—you’re about to discover why it’s the key to unlocking everything you’ve been working toward.
Why You Are Not Manifesting
Have you ever noticed that when you gain hope and cultivate this desire to manifest your desires, you begin to notice more of where you are?
Maybe you want more money, but notice how your bank account is not climbing up. Maybe you want a partner, but keep seeing how you’re still by yourself?
This isn’t your fault. It’s how most of us have been conditioned to think. We’re told to focus on what we want, but no one explains that focusing on your desires often highlights what you don’t have.
That gap between where you are and where you want to be… And when you see that, without results… it can be frustrating, questioning if this really works… or even make you want to give up altogether.
What Is the Law of Polarity—and Why Does It Matter?
Here’s where everything changes.
The law of polarity says that everything in the Universe is composed of two opposites. You have hot and cold, light and dark, success and failure… And without one, you wouldn’t know the other.
Without dark, you wouldn’t know what light is. Without overcoming weakness, you can not know what being strong feels like. One always creates another. These aren’t separate experiences – they’re two sides of the SAME experience. Two sides of the SAME coin.
The problem is, most people don’t realize this principle applies directly to manifestation.
Every time you want something (to get rich), its opposite (not having enough) is also present. Every time you want to get rich, it implies that in your current reality, you’re not rich enough. Your mind feeds into the present moment, looks at what you know about the world, and focuses on helping you avoid the potential pain & danger (of not having enough). And it does so by focusing and seeing where that pain could occur.
So you begin to see more of it… focus… think… feel… until you attract experiences… that from your memories, exist as your known reality.
You want to avoid pain… you want the opposite… resisting the present… and focusing on potential pain.
Creating more desire and resistance – of wanting for things to be different than the way they are. Resistance doesn’t just keep you stuck—it makes the thing you’re resisting stronger.
Tekel Tekel Mene Upharsin – ‘You have been weighed, and you have been found wanting.’ – Daniel 5:27
Why Resisting Your Current Reality Doesn’t Work
It’s tempting to think, If I just try harder to stay positive, I’ll get there. But the truth is, ignoring or suppressing your current reality only gives it more power.
As the saying goes – whatever you resist, persists.
It’s like trying to hold a beach ball underwater. At first, it seems easy—you push it down, and it stays there. But the harder you push, the more resistance you feel. Eventually, the ball bursts to the surface, stronger than ever.
This is what happens when you resist your emotions, circumstances, or struggles. You’re holding them down, but they’re still there, waiting to spring back up.
The beauty of law of polarity lies in Polarity itself. Because the opposite of WANTING, is – HAVING.
Gratitude.
The problem is most people think that the way you use gratitude, is by ‘assuming’ or ‘imagining’ having your desires. Because people try forcing this idea, coming from a place of ‘wanting’… not having… lack.
However what allows us to move through resistance, is again… the exact opposite of it…
Acceptance.
Whatever you accept, it ceases to have hold over you.
Think about people you see in daily life… worrying, I have to do this.. what if she doesn’t like me… I want more money… I just want a moment of piece… rushing… I have all these things to do.. always wanting for things to be different…
Look at the monks in the mountains…ancient shaolins… they practice acceptance. Accepting what is. Accepting they don’t have control. Accepting death. Accepting not knowing.
They are neutralizing the resistance, through acceptance. By focusing on having rather than wanting. As a result – being free. Free to express. Free for insane amounts of energy to flow through their body without restriction.
This is how you use gratitude. Instead of wanting what you don’t have, accept what you have. Dismantling limiting beliefs, and a place of lack through – acceptance.
The Secret to Manifestation: Acceptance to Release Resistance
You have to accept whatever you find it painful. Why?
For as long as you find it ‘painful to not have money’ you most powerful survival mechanism, you mind will focus on potential situations where you could experience it… unconsciously focusing, and attracting that experience.
Your mind is designed for survival, not to make you happy. It’s designed to identify pain & danger and prioritize it over pleasure. Think about it, if you were on a street buying a hotdog, and saw a wild bear run towards you… You wouldn’t care for one second about a hotdog… you would run.
And while this is something you know you find painful, don’t forget that our minds also remember how painful it was to be bad… to make a mistake growing up… how painful it is when other people laugh at us…. these are internal associations… also creating resistance and barriers.
We ‘want to be accepted’, but focus on ‘what other people think about us’… Manifesting our every experience each and every moment in time.
The Real Value of Working with the Law of Polarity
When you stop resisting and start embracing both sides of the spectrum, something incredible happens:
- You feel lighter. The pressure to “fix” your life disappears, and you can focus on taking meaningful steps forward. The mind stops blinding you and you stop focusing on the ‘not having’.
- You start seeing results faster. Without resistance holding you back, your energy flows freely, toward your desires. It’s like walking a path of least resistance – you want to meet a girl, there’s far less anxiety, wanting her to like you, wanting to be perfect… you just move towards it… come from an abundant place, don’t communicate neediness and lack… she responds well…. boom… you manifest your desire… rather than rejection.
- Your mind opens doors for you. Accepting your current reality helps you see opportunities and solutions you couldn’t see before.
For example, someone struggling with debt might suddenly notice a job opportunity they previously ignored because they were too focused on fear and communicating from a different place. Or all of a sudden every word you choose does not come pushy… trying to use tactics, and manipulate people to buy… you help them to understand better… your focus is different… all of a sudden, they trust you more.. and actually buy…
How to Start Applying the Law of Polarity Today
Here’s a simple three-step process:
- Acknowledge What Is: The moment you want something, implies you find the opposite painful. By asking why you want something, you can find the reason, that is your believed reality manifesting current reality, and preventing a new one to take place. – Write down everything, describing what it is, where it could stem from, if you had any similar memory in the past. Bring it all up.
- Accept it: Instead of resisting the negative, accept past experience. Instead of wanting it to be different, accept that it happened. That at that particular time, you saw it that way. Interpreted and felt that way. And allow yourself to let go, instead of holding on.
- Focus on the positive: If you just neutralize the negative, you will become like a monk, who doesn’t need anything in life. The goal therefore is to focus on the positive side of the same coin. Acceptance is just to neutralize the pain, which hijacks our brains focus, and takes away from the positive of attainment. So write down the opposite thing you want, and describe how good it would feel to experience this. Create that association and feeling in your mind.
Why This Could Change Everything for You
The law of polarity isn’t just a concept—it’s a new way of seeing the world. It shows you that you don’t have to fight against your reality to create change. In fact, the less you resist, the faster things shift.
When you embrace both sides of the coin, your mind stops working against you. You stop feeling stuck and open a path of least resistance to your desires. They are no longer compulsive… no longer come out needy… no longer come from a place of lack.
Instead they begin to come from a place of abundance, and your visualizations, hopes, beliefs, and goals in your mind begin to manifest from an abundant place—and every step as a move toward the life you want.
And that’s when manifestation stops feeling like work and starts feeling like flow.
