In a dual reality world of cause & effect, promoting is the cause and attracting is the effect.
When attraction is by promotion, they are the same energy and are seen as the same action.
Promoting is what I do to attract what I want.
Promotion is hierarchical.
I promote my Self to appear better and to be seen higher up the hierarchy.
The higher I appear to be, the more status I appear to have and the more attractive I appear to be.
Beyond the world of dual reality, attraction is a state of Being.
It is not what I do that makes me attractive but who I am being.
By the Law of Attraction I always attract like energy to my own state of being, irrespective of how much I try to promote myself.
Being attractive and becoming more attractive is a state of appreciation and gratitude of what I already have.
Promoting myself is a statement of being without what I think that I need.
Promoting myself to being better than others by seeking a higher status than others is never attractive.
Promoting my Self puts myself before my Soul and disconnects me from my true source of Attraction.
