I ask Zohar, “What, if anything, is a principle the Universe operates on in relation to us?”

Zohar answers, “That is simple to express, but very hard to do. It is that you create your own reality. That is the principle that like attracts like, and that the Universe reflects back to you what you put out to it. This means that what you think about, what you truly believe in your heart of hearts is what comes to you in life. It becomes your reality.

You have a spark of divinity within you. You are God expressed in human form. It may not seem so for people who do bad things, but, yes, everybody has God within. This is what gives them their self-awareness or self-consciousness, the ability to step back cognitively and observe your own behavior and ask yourself questions about it and change. It is what gives you free will. Without divinity, you have no free will, and it is precisely this that plays the primary role in creating your own reality.

If you obsess on bad things, then bad things will happen to you. For example, a woman who was abused by her father as a child will end up getting into relationships with abusive men. She will perpetuate the pattern because she is unconsciously focusing on her father and does not feel worthy to have anything better. Likewise, someone who focuses of wanting a loving and respectful relationship will get one. They will attract the right person into their lives and be happy. This principle applies to everything from spiritual enlightenment to money and material products.”
