You have to release a desire without desire, you have to be in a wanting to get, you have to be in a nonchalant intention, and in the end, you get nothing. - This is the central paradox I saw the other day about the Law of Attraction.
Isn't it fun? And the reality seems to be so—we try our best, clench our fists, and look forward to what we want, but often the results are not what we want.
But isn't another sentence said again? When we really want something, the whole world needs to come together to help us. ——To get it, you need to work hard. You have to work hard to get it.
This, should I try hard? All of a sudden to want nothing, all of a sudden to really want. So, want and get, what are the correct steps? Yes, I often try to find a way to infer other things, so I can be lazy, however, I often return bitterly.
How much Nasser in "The Taste of Plum Chicken" loves Ilana, how much he wants to marry Ilana, and he even promised Ilana's father that he can make money to support Ilana , he can put down his pursuits, return to the masses, and devote himself to the battle with the chai, rice, oil and salt... He tried hard... but he still didn't get it...
It can be seen that, really, some things are not what we try to get.
So, to put in the central paradox of attraction? ——If Naser sent a signal when he proposed to Ilana's father that he didn't really want to marry Ilana, could he finally marry Ilana? It shouldn't, because no matter if Nasser wants it or not, Ilana's father doesn't want Nasser's son-in-law anyway, and Ilana is a good baby who obeys her father.
So, is the central paradox of attraction wrong?
Let's take a look at another development line of Nasser.
Nasser liked to play the violin, so his mother sent him to a high school to follow him. It didn't take long for Nasser's skills to be fully learned, and then the master mentioned Nasser and asked him to find the soul in his piano sound.
Naser walked here and there, but didn't know where to find the "sigh" the teacher said.
At this time, he met Ilana. Then Nasser went into love with all his might, and probably forgot "that sigh" long ago.
However, at the moment of losing Ilana, Nasser found "that sigh", he put Ilana into every string of his violin, and he became a master.
This wave of operations is quite in line with the core paradox of the Law of Attraction. ——When Naser especially wanted "that sigh", he couldn't find it, but when he forgot "that sigh" at all, he got it.
In fact, this wave of operations is quite in line with what you want to get. Nasser tried hard to get "that sigh", and then he really got "that sigh."
So, in this regard, I have a bold guess, Ilana is just a way, the way for the universe to let Nasser get "that sigh".
If it is based on such a conjecture, then it is understandable why when Nasser was bent on dying and met the god of death, he would ask the god of death if it was too late to turn back now.
I'm afraid, at that time, he really realized that his life was not so bad. The encounter with Ilana many years later is just "one-sided" excitement and admiration not enough to die by oneself; the broken violin full of "sighs" is not enough to die by oneself; an uncoordinated family Life, although really boring and boring, is not enough to die by yourself.
Because, from start to finish, all he really wanted was "that sigh," and he got it.
So, with that being said, both theories are actually right. What's wrong is that we may not even know what we really want. We thought we didn't get it, but we did get what we really wanted, we just didn't know it.
