I agree with T Gecks. It is really quite simple. Your mind brings to you not what you want in a fleeting way, but what you deeply believe, whether it is a love or a fear. The law of attraction and karma are supposed to teach us this throughout our lives. Live by the golden rule. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
The more we concentrate on love, and manifest it, the more we truly expect love and joy (deep down), the more it manifests. If a person's mind works in what Kathy on this board termed as "cross purposes," we see mixed results.
Our subconscious mind is tied into a universal mind or template which brings things to pass in our lives based on our strongest beliefs. If we believe we must suffer, then oh boy, suffer we will. By using this pattern, each person at the end of his or her life can see, upon reflection that what was experienced and transpired was in one way or another (barring random acts of nature), a direct result of the need in his or her own mind and thoughts.
Cross purpose thoughts occur when we all say to ourselves "I want to succeed at this task," but deeper down we say "I know it will never happen for me." The subconscious hears not our fleeting thoughts but what is believed as fact.
If we understand these laws of the mind and consciousness, we can see that suffering is not required for spiritual growth, unless we need it to be. It is true that in this world with people of various spirituality we are bound to lock horns with another. You can sit on a train or be at a movie, and find someone you perceive as rude, and that sets up a negative confrontation. However, if you return the rudeness with love and forgiveness, you are bound to get out of the conflict quicker than having a full blown fight on your hands.
The other situation that gels with this topic is that of wealth or money. Sayings such as "money is the root of all evil," tend to make our subconscious associate weath in a negative way. The law of attraction acts here, and if we think it is noble and "good" to be poor, than it shall come to pass ("ask and ye shall receive").
However, the converse is true. If one sees wealth or money as a good which one works for and releases freely - sort of a sign of health, than one can rid the subconscious of guilt associated with making money. This truly tends to work - and in fact is the basis for many "get rich quick" paper back books but it really is associated with our thoughts.
I think the key point is to realize that Karma and the Law of Attraction work both for good or for bad. If we focus on suffering, we find it. If we focus on love and kindness, we find that. It all is a matter what we believe deep deep down.
