Contrast for the New Year

A friend of mine sent me an email today with the subject: Cybercrooks stalk small businesses that bank online - USATODAY.com. He promotes a computer protection service and thought it was appropriate to broadcast an email to everyone.

When I asked he not send me any more like it and I referred to it as “doom and gloom” I got the following response:

“So, I'll bet you pay for PC protection already, why don't you use something that works?
This is not doom and gloom, it is helping people. If you didn't use it at all I could see your argument.

Interesting response I thought. So here’s what I wrote back:

“It’s not an argument, just a preference. I was playing with the verbiage “doom and gloom” which is in the same tone as the subject line you sent “Cybercrooks stalk small businesses that bank online”. Any one can tell it is intentionally designed to induce one thing only: fear. If the subject isn’t a doom and gloom statement then I am the Easter Bunny. Just because it is a reality/belief for a group of people doesn’t mean I want to contribute to it by focusing on it too (which I am doing now I admit), or any other focus that doesn’t feel good for that matter.

Here is my bottom line: If a business is promoting a product or service that is set up in such a way as to encourage an uncomfortable feeling, especially one as disconnected as fear, in order to sell their product, I choose to go elsewhere, even if it is for a similar product. Why would I want to align with a business/vibration that is outside my Vortex? Two negatives only produce a positive in math. I can appreciate that they, or you for that matter, can focus on whatever they want. And if that makes them/you feel better, bravo! I love freedom of choice and ideally can allow it for others as well.

The uncomfortable feeling I refer to is not due to the product, but the frequency it is being used to represent it. Way old school marketing. Or that it is WRONG that anyone can do what “cyber crooks” are doing. Morality has nothing to do with it. I understand the uncomfortable feeling I had when I read your headline was due to the way the topic was being presented due to my beliefs and that it is was contrary to how my Inner Being perceives it.

BTW, your statement “It is helping people” is a valid opinion or b-e-l-i-e-f. Pharmaceutical companies have long used this line of thought. They produce great products for a great number of sick people. Now they feel is it helpful for the common good to prepare for the illness even before it occurs. Some speculate even before the disease exists. Prevention is worth a pound of cure as their saying goes. I know, I use to use it. Still, treating symptoms is still treating symptoms. My intention for this New Year is to focus on something that feels better. Focusing on a war against anything is still focusing on and attracting more war, as it keeps the issue active by focus. Isn’t the Law of Attraction grand? Everything is fair.

“Trust in Allah, but tie up your camel” still reflects a level of fear and is still good advice if one feels the call of it. I use the software I do because it is what my tech put on it when he put in my new hard drive and I am very pleased, happy and satisfied with it. It costs less than a penny a year (so much for your bet) and renews itself (wow, easy AND fun). I also trust myself in where I go surfing, or even when to turn on my computer for that matter. If I sense sharks I stay out of the water. And not once has anyone from their company tried to scare me in using their product.

Thanks for the clarity towards the subject, I appreciate it. It is perfect as a lead in to the New Year and my first blog of 2010. I am visualizing a year of peace, prosperity, appreciation and allowance. I am glad you are in it. Happy New Year and…

I hope YOU have a wonderful New Year of clarity and great friends like this. Isn’t contrast fun?

Enjoy the day!
