Made of Stars

This morning, I started to read The Four Agreements.  I've never read it, though it has been recommended to me many, many times.  The first chapter begins with a story about "The Smoky Mirror."  The story is about a man who is learning to be a medicine man.  He had a dream, and in that dream he hears his voice say "I am made of light; I am made of stars."  In his dream he also discovered the following:


Everything in existence is a manifestation of the one living being we call God. Everything is God. And he came to the conclusion that human perception is merely light perceiving light. He also saw that matter is a mirror — everything is a mirror that reflects light and creates images of that light — and the world of illusion, the Dream, is just like smoke which doesn’t allow us to see what we really are. “The real us is pure love, pure light,” he said.

This reading this morning did two things - the reading continued, and as it continued I realized how much it was in alignment with my thoughts on manifestation and the idea of "what we think, we become."  It also made me think.  It made me think of the universe, and manifestation, and the science of manifestation, and it made me wonder how it all works.

One of the things that I immediately thought of was stoichiometry.   According to Wikipedia  (all of the science-y information I've included is from Wikipedia, really), stoichiometry "is a branch of chemistry that deals with the relative quantities of reactants and products in chemical reactions."  I remember balancing equations in chemistry in high school - it was relaxing and meditative.  Now, I think the important thing about the ideas regarding manifestation and why it led to thoughts on stoichiometry is the idea of balance, or relative quantities.

I remembered ionic and covalent bonding.  Covalent bonding is chemical bonding where electrons are shared.  Ionic bonding is, according to Wikipedia, a "chemical bond formed through an electrostatic attraction between two oppositely charged ions."

attraction - and balance - exists everywhere

And this made me think that the Law of Attraction is really, truly about attraction at a molecular level.
I have heard many times that, as we work on our own stuff, as we succeed and learn to manifest, we change our vibration - we refine ourselves and alter our own chemistry, in a way, or maybe even our own electrical signature... something that changes the way we resonate in the world.  Maybe that effects, truly effects, how we "bond" with the universe.


What limited information I have found indicates that the greater the "electronegativity," or how likely an atom is to attract.  So if two ions have a large difference in electronegativity, they are more likely to attract eachother. In contrast, electropositivity refers to how likely an atom is to donate, or give itself away.

So what if, since we are made up of atoms and ions and electrical signals and chemicals and all sorts of wonderful stuff... what if, when we do our work, shed that which no longer serves, and change our vibration... what if this truly does altar our ionic structure?  What if this increases our electronegativity in comparison with the universe, and makes it more likely that we will attract what we are trying to manifest.

I don't really know if this is what happens... but I know energetics are more concrete than many would think... I know that there are body systems that are not completley understood  or even given serious thought by the current medical and research establishment.  I know the human body, mind, and spirit, are capeable of amazing things.  And so, if we are, and we are 'made of the stars,' then we are made of the same stuff as the universe.  And in that way, the energetics of the universe, the energetics of coincidence and deja vu and rainbows and the aurora borealis - all of that is in us, too.

So overall, I think it's definitely something I will think about.  How does changing my vibration, my energetic frequency - how does that change my physical self, perhaps even my electonegativity?  How does working on my stuff allow me to have a greater attraction to the amazing things in the universe at a cellular, molecular level.
