Getting Into The Vortex – Movie Review

Is Esther Hicks talking to some non-physical group consciousness, or is she just accessing some deep level of her own consciousness? I don’t care. There really is no way to know, so in my opinion, it isn’t worth focusing on. What I will focus on in this review, however, is the message that is touched upon in the Getting Into the Vortex DVD.

The movie is really quite enlightening. I came across the Vortex book first, and that was pretty good. But this DVD really gets to the heart of the matter. What is the Vortex? How does it work? How does it relate to the Law of Attraction? By the end of the DVD I felt like I had solid answers to these questions and more.

What is the Vortex? The Vortex is potential. It is the culmination of all your desires you have ever sent out into the universe. All of those “rockets of desire” as Hicks calls them are gathered together in this swirling vortex of attraction. This vortex is pulling you towards it like a magnet. In fact the more contrast you see in your life between your current situation and this storehouse of potential, the more you will be attracted to it. Put most simply, the vortex is the self within that is waiting to be realized.

So how does the vortex work? Well, it’s pretty simple really. Say, for example, I am in a dead end job. I hate my boss, and I barely make enough money to pay my rent. If this experience is painful for me, which it undoubtedly will be, that pain will cause me to imagine myself in a better situation. I might have a fantasy about quitting and starting my own business, where I am my own boss and where my financial success is in my own hands. Well, the teachings of Abraham suggest that these idle thoughts are adding up to something. They are creating a contrast between where I am and where I want to be. That contrast is creating an intense desire to make that fantasy a reality.

Once a desire has entered my mind, it will never go away. I may be distracted from it for a bit, but as long as my current situation is still painful, that fantasy will have a magnetic pull on me. The longer I resist moving toward that fantasy, the more painful it will be to me. Finally, I will reach a threshold and act. I will step out and move toward that potential I want so intensely.

Since I can’t possibly do something greater without being someone greater, to reach for my desire I must grow. The continuous attraction of higher unrealized potential is what Abraham celebrates. It’s all about growth. It’s all about the thrill of the ride, the joy and bliss of an ever expanding sense of self.

So, how does the vortex relate to the Law of Attraction? If the vortex is pure potential, and that potential is stored in non-physical consciousness, and if all consciousness is one, then our desires are connected to infinite intelligence. Thought is essentially a direct line to the mind of God. Anything you want will be given, as long as you are willing to receive it.

Receiving something the universe offers is a challenge. This is because most of us are under the false impression that we need to get rid of contrast in our lives. We think that the ideal life would be one where everything is rosy and bright and nothing bad ever happens. We need to realize that the painful things in life are there to incite growth. The suffering is there to encourage us to want more. It’s that creation of a better future that is so joyful, not the realization of that future. Heaven isn’t a destination. Heaven is a journey.

Bottom Line
If you are interested in the Law of Attraction, personal development, or conscious living please check out Getting into the Vortex. It’s a fabulous movie, and one hell of a fun ride. Oh, and if channeling seems a bit too woo woo and new agey for you, don’t worry. The elves at the center of the earth tell me this DVD is all backed up by hard science.
