The question Mary was asking has been asked by so many so often. It just seems that some people have the gift of manifestation. They can imagine what they want and it appears. What they have is not magic or illusion, rather, they understand and use the Law of Attraction.

So what is this – Law of Attraction? Simply put, the Law of Attraction is like the Law of Gravity. It is one of the Universal or Natural Laws of this Universe. Working with mathematical certainty, the Law of Attraction is energy in motion.

With a little indignation Mary replied, “O.K., so this energy in motion concept, just how does it work? I understand gravity. You take an egg, drop it on a counter, and it will break (unless it’s hard boiled, of course). But, energy in motion, I just don’t see? Explain please! Cause ‘energy in motion’ doesn’t get it for me.”

The Law of Attraction, much like gravity, works in defined ways – that’s why we call it a Universal or Natural Law. The fundamental principle is: Whatever you are consciously or unconsciously focusing on in your life you will attract. Put another way, what you think about you will receive. The more passionately you think about whatever it is the more of it you will attract. Therefore, your inner world defines your outer physical experience.

Think about your first comments. You stated, “Its like every time she thinks about what she wants, it appears.” That’s the Law of Attraction in action. The person you were thinking of understands, either consciously or unconsciously, how to use this powerful law.

Expectation is a part of this attractive force. What you expect in life, through the Law of Attraction, is drawn to you. If you focus on paying bills, you will always have bills to pay. If you focus on not having enough money, you won’t have enough money. In the example you mentioned at the start, the lady you were referring to must have expected to receive – and she did! The key is to expect the things you truly want, and don’t expect what you don’t want.
An important point to consider – the Law of Attraction doesn’t discriminate. It will give you just what you think about. So if you want better, you must change your thinking. Now, let me share five simple ways to make the Law of Attraction work for you.

1. Think about what you want. See it in your mind’s eye. Be clear about your intent. This is a critical step. All too often, people say they want one thing and then proceed to think another. It is not what you say you want that will be attracted to you…it’s what you actually think about that determines the result. “All we are is a result of what we have thought.” Buddha.

2. Take some time and ask yourself – honestly – how you feel about what you’ve asked for or intended. Go inside yourself and see if you feel it’s possible. Write down your thoughts about it. Talk to a friend and have them listen to you carefully and observe and note what you say. Are you sabotaging your own desire? Do you want what you want, enough to change your behavior? James Ray (http://www.jamesray.com) in the book ‘The Secret’ states, “When you look at our current state of affairs and define yourself by that, then you doom yourself to have nothing more than the same for your future.”

3. Create a visual image of your intention. Most of us want what we believe exists, therefore, creating a visual representation of what we desire helps us stay focused on desire. One simple example of this step in action relates to attracting money. Folks at the end of my seminars will often ask how to create the income they desire. The easiest way to create the visual image of what you want is to take your prior year’s earnings statement (in the USA it’s a W-2 form), white out the income numbers there and reinsert those income numbers that you want. Jack Canfield, author of Chicken Soup for the Soul tells the story of using this process of visualization. Needless to say, it worked for him and can for you as well.

4. Take action. The universe knows no time. Everything is now. But in the world we live in (human existence is linear) we must take steps to achieve what we desire. Remember it takes one step at a time to climb a mountain. In my experience, you can’t want something deeply – take no action – and expect it to appear. The first three steps are mental. This step is physical. If I want to run a marathon, and I’m not physically prepared, I must prepare. The act of preparing or taking action, is putting the Law of Attraction into motion. Gravity exists, but to see it demonstrated it requires some action. The same is true with the Law of Attraction – action creates action.

5. Lastly, feel what you want as if it is here. While this is a challenge to many, most highly successful people say that once they’ve made up their mind…they feel the same way they’d feel if they had what they wanted. Whether it’s Esther and Jerry Hicks authors of The Law of Attraction (http://www.abraham-hicks.com) or the many contributors to the book, The Secret by Rhonda Byrne (http://www.thesecret.tv), they all say the same thing, picture what you want in your minds eye, feel it and trust that you have it NOW! The feeling of it existing is key to the actual manifestation of what you truly want.

The above five steps, followed consistently, will dramatically improve the power and speed at which you apply the Law of Attraction.

Let me share a simple, but profound story. My wife and I participate in a program called “Masterminding”. When two or more people hold in consciousness an outcome or each other’s desire, power increases through “Masterminding.” As the New Year dawned, we looked at our desires and noticed something profound. One thing we had on our Mastermind list was to pay off our credit cards. But, in reading that statement from a different perspective, we both realized that “paying off” meant we had debt and hence we were allowing the Law of Attraction to make sure we had “debt to pay off.”

As you can imagine, we immediately changed that. We replaced our old desire with the following Mastermind statement: “Money and abundance easily and effortlessly flows into our lives.” That evening we did our Mastermind session where we read out loud what we desired. The next day, I received a call from my mother who stated that my wife and I each would receive a check. For estate and tax purposes she needed to make two gifts.

Now attracting money “easily and effortlessly” is a much easier way to reduce debt or attract what you want than holding in consciousness our prior desire. When actions like this happen, it only reinforces the power of the Law of Attraction.

So other than reading this article, how can folks gain a better understanding of the Law of Attraction?

“We can change our lives. We can do, have, and be exactly what we wish.” – Anthony Robbins

In continuation of our talks on the First Pillar of Rapid Body Transformation, we have reached a point where I would like to discuss the law of attraction. I’ve mentioned this in earlier articles and even touched on the basics of universal law. Now we are going to expand upon this because I believe it holds a vital solution for achieving body and life transformation. The people who are successful in life achieve their success because they harness the power of this law whether they know it or not.

The purpose of the next several articles are to give you a deeper understanding of the law of attraction, as well as, provide several principles through which you may further apply this amazing universal law to your life. Mastering this law will help you to clear the hurdles that keep so many of us from realizing a truly successful and happy life.

Since the release of the Secret movie, the law of attraction has gained massive attention in the media and thus the public awareness. Now many people may think the law of attraction is nothing more than new age, pie-in-the-sky, hippie, feel good stuff, but that would be a huge mistake and/or an erroneous assumption.

The Law of Attraction actually has some science that backs it up, specifically in the area of quantum physics. Although I know many mainstream scientists would not agree with this. Of course no one believed Pythagoras either, when he first postulated that the world was round. Go figure!

Most people’s minds are slow to change until there is an overwhelming amount of proof to back up theories that deviate from the mainstream model of thought. Unfortunately, that’s why humanity is so slow to evolve and why most geniuses are usually considered quacks when they first propose their new ideas… but I digress.

I am going to explain some things to you now that may contradict everything you know to be true about the world. I hope you will have an open mind about this and at least be willing to explore the possibility. I know that some of what I am going to say will sound pretty “out there”, and I would be skeptical too if hearing it for the first time.

Yet, I would like to mention that what I am telling you has been the result of years of research, curiosity, study and my own personal quest for the truth about our reality. It is my own personal yearning for a deeper understanding of how the universe actually works that has led me to these ideas.

During this quest I have studied several spiritual traditions like Buddhism, Christianity, Zen, New Age, and Taoism. I have researched further into science, evolutionary theory, physics, and quantum physics. I have studied the philosophers. I have studied the works of successful men and forward thinkers. Now I tell you this not to brag, nor to claim that I am an expert in any of these fields. I am not. Nor is my study even close to complete. I still have a lot to learn.

However, through my years of reading and researching these truths I have been looking for the common thread or the perennial philosophy, if you will, that combines and connects each of these fields. What do they point to? What are the underlying truths that are common to them all? That’s what I want to share with you here.

What is the Universal Law of Attraction? Speaker, author, and consultant Dr. Margaret McCraw, Ph.D says that… “The Law of Attraction, just like the Law of Gravity, is an invisible energy force. While we cannot see gravity, we can see the results of it as our feet are planted firmly on the ground. Neither can we see the Law of Attraction, but we can see the results of it as we correlate our thoughts, feelings, and beliefs with the experiences we are creating.”

Think of the law of attraction like the air you breathe. You cannot see it, but if it wasn’t there your life would never be the same. Much like the wind it is invisible, yet when it blows hard enough you can feel its presence.

Your reality, as it is right now, is a result of every thought, and experience you have ever had in your life. All that you have achieved or failed to achieve is a direct result of your own thoughts. Your life and your current circumstance is simply a reflection of your own mind, thoughts, feelings, and beliefs. You literally are what you think!

I told you, you would see this quote a lot!

“We are what we think. With our thoughts, we make our world.” – The Buddha

How is this so? Can this really be true?

Yes, it is true! Everything in our physical universe, as quantum physicists now understand it, is made up of atoms and sub-atomic particles, which are merely packets of energy and information.

Your dog or cat, the tree in your yard, a rock on the ground, this earth beneath your feet, especially the stars in the night sky, everything that we consider matter and even intangible things like your thoughts, are fundamentally energy and information!

So, everything at the molecular level of existence is simply energy expressed in one form or another. We live within a matrix of coalesced energy, but beyond the matrix of energy there is a state of nothingness or stillness that is the source from which everything arises. Many call this state of nothingness Spirit, God, or even Pure Conscious Awareness. Some call it the ether or even the Source. I like to call it Spirit or Consciousness. Call it what you will, it doesn’t really matter.

As Deepak Chopra M.D. says in his book Creating Affluence, “…the basic conclusion of quantum field theorists is that the raw material of the world is nonmaterial; the essential stuff of the universe is non-stuff.” He then goes on to say, “All of our technology is based on this fact… Fax machines, computers, radios, television-all these technologies are possible because scientists no longer believe that the atom, which is the basic unit of matter, is a solid entity.”

What this means is that every thing you see in your world, including yourself, is not a solid entity at all but rather a wave fluctuation of energy. In other words material reality exists as impulses of energy and information… atoms fluctuating between states of being waves and particles. What appears solid to the senses is not really solid at all. This is part of the paradoxical and illusory nature of the universe and the recent discovery of quantum physicists.

This is what Albert Einstein meant when he said,

“Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.”

Now, don’t let me lose you here. I know the science behind all of this can get a little confusing and I’m not even going to pretend that I understand it all. If you want to get more in depth, then I suggest learning more about quantum physics buy reading several good books on the subject or checking out Bob Doyle’s Law of Attraction, Program. That being said, I’ll do my best to further explain this in layman’s terms.

The Law of Attraction at Work There are three planes of existence; first there is the physical or material realm (think of this as the body); next there is the quantum or mental realm (think of this as mind); then there is the absolute or non-local realm (think of this as spirit- the non-stuff or consciousness from which everything manifests.) So, to simplify there is the physical, quantum, and spiritual realms or body/mind/spirit.

In the quantum/mental realm, energy exists as electromagnetic waves that vibrate at varying amplitudes and frequencies. There are higher (faster) frequencies and lower (slower) frequencies. Energy that vibrates at a certain frequency tends to attract frequencies of a similar vibration and amplitude. In this way, energy has magnetic properties that draw like energies together.

Now here’s where it gets interesting!

Your thoughts act like magnetic currents that resonate outward from your being, permeating your immediate and local energy field, as well as, the energy field of the entire quantum universe. To grasp this, think of your thoughts as a radio frequency that is being emitted from a radio station tower.  Your thoughts (originating from your mind) are being broadcast all over the world and beyond.

These positively or negatively charged thought waves attract people, circumstances, and events into your life that mirror the energetic quality or frequency of those thoughts. Just like the radio frequency will only be heard by those people whom have their radio on the right frequency channel or station. Likewise, people, things, and events that are of the same frequency will be attracted to you by your thoughts.

In very simplistic terminology, like attracts like.

Do you find this hard to believe? I agree, if you haven’t spent years researching it… it sounds sort of crazy. Well, before you start thinking I’m a whack job… think about these common observations:

Have you ever noticed that successful people tend to interact with other successful people, while non-successful people tend to relate to each other? Why do you suppose that is? Feel free to substitute successful with wealthy, or healthy, or intelligent, or the opposite of those qualities.

Have you ever met someone and instantly felt a weird feeling or vibe coming from that person, which made you uncomfortable? How do you explain that feeling? Could it be their energy field?

How about the attraction you feel towards certain people more than others or certain places more than others or certain ideas more than others? Could it be that your own thoughts vibrate on a similar frequency to those things you are attracted to?

Have you ever thought of something (a person, a book, a new product you have your eye on, etc.) and then shortly after that very person or thing somehow appeared in your life or that person called you out of the blue? Do you just rule that off as coincidence or is there something more at work here?

This is the law of attraction at work attracting people, events, and circumstances into your life that match the frequencies you are emitting through your thoughts, feelings and attention. Are you beginning to see how you use this law to totally transform your body and life? I hope so!

The Three Keys of Manifestation “Remember, you attract to your life whatever you give your attention, energy and focus to, whether wanted or unwanted.” - Michael Losier

If you focus all of your energy and attention on transforming your body… sooner or later you’re going to start seeing the physical changes manifest themselves when you look in the mirror. Your positive, confident thoughts, words, and actions are paying off in real results as you master the four pillars of rapid body transformation.

However, if you are taking positive actions in the beginning, but secretly or subconsciously doubt that you will really succeed at transforming your body… you’ve shifted your self-talk and attention from one of confident success to self-doubt and failure.

Thus, failure is what you will ultimately manifest even though it is not what you say you want and despite the fact that you may be exercising regularly. Your self-doubt will begin to cause you to deviate from the four pillars more and more. You’ll begin the downward spiral into self-sabotage and eventually quit or not see the results you were hoping for.

For the law of attraction to work properly you have to be congruent and this is where most people fail. They start thinking positive thoughts, but they don’t really expect it to work. After a little time they abandon it and say “I knew that was a load of horse $#!!.” Their thoughts, beliefs, words, and actions are not congruent.

The law of attraction cannot work unless you understand this fully. This can take some time, study, and evaluation, which most people are not willing to do. There fore, most people fail. What most people have failed to realize is that there are three keys to creating this congruency.

To unlock the door and harness the power of all creation you must use all three keys in harmony.

The First Key is the thoughts and beliefs you think

The Second Key is the words which you speak

The Third Key is the actions and deeds you take

Each of these three keys has its own creative power, and to create successfully… your thoughts, words, and actions must harmonize with one another. If not, then you will run into problems every time because you are not congruent. In other words, if you talk the talk, you have to walk the walk. Otherwise, you will not be thriving for long.

Remember how I mentioned that quantum theory proposes that every thing is energy and information…. Well this includes our thoughts and our words. Even our actions which are spawned from our thoughts and words are tainted by the energy frequency from which they originate.

For example positive thoughts and feelings such as love, peace, gratitude, courage, abundance and so on resonate at the higher (faster) frequency level or polarity, where as, negative thoughts and feelings such as anger, hate, apathy, guilt, fear and so on resonate at the lower (slower) frequency level or polarity.

In other words, if you have a negative view about life, you will attract negative people, circumstances, and events into your life that act to confirm your negative beliefs. Then when more negativity shows up in your life, which it will, this appears as the evidence to support your original negative thoughts. You’ll then say, “See I told you life sucks!” You’ll then take action or no action based on this conclusion.

In fact, as long as you keep your negative outlook, not only will you attract the negative, you will often unconsciously repel the good and positive things that life has to offer. There may even be tons of great opportunities around you, but because of your belief system you will not notice them or act on them.

However, if you keep a positive and optimistic outlook about life, you will attract the positive people, circumstances, and events into your life that confirm those beliefs. Then when positive things do show up in your life, which they will, this appears as the evidence to support your original positive thoughts. You’ll then say, “Life is good!” and you will act based on this notion.

And as you stay in that FEELING of optimism you’ll continue to attract all that you need to create a successful and fulfilling life, full of friends, happiness, and abundance. This is why it is better in my opinion to be an eternal optimist. I know…. Easier said than done!

Your feelings, thoughts and subconscious beliefs are all interrelated. Did you notice that I also capitalized the word FEELING? I did so because ultimately the law of attraction responds to how you are feeling at any given moment and the stronger the e-motion (energy in motion) the faster you are attracting. Strong emotion broadcasts your energy frequency more intensely. It is this intensity that has a powerful magnetic pull that will attract similar frequencies and manifest people and events that correlate at that level of vibration.

In considering this, just look at how an upset and angry person could easily bring out the anger in a person or group of people that they are in close proximity with. Their anger attracted more anger. A joyful person could have the same effect on people and consequently attract more joyful experiences into their life. Which would you rather attract? It’s your choice.

“The law of attraction responds to how you are feeling in the present moment and the stronger the feeling, the faster you are attracting the physical manifestation of those feelings into your life.” - Brandon Cook, that’s me!

If you feel GOOD you are attracting good things. You are on purpose. You are right where you want to be.

Well the opposite is true as well. If you feel BAD you are attracting bad things. You have strayed from your purpose and are headed in the wrong direction, unless it is your intention to attract bad things.

So, our emotions can provide guidance to us by helping to clarify whether we are thinking positively or negatively. Thus, we should strive to monitor our thoughts and feelings to make sure we are creating the type of life we desire.

When our emotions are positive and we feel good, then our thoughts are in alignment with our desires. However, when we feel bad and our emotions are negative, then likewise our thoughts are no longer in alignment with our desires. We have lost our way.

If we can catch ourselves in the midst of negative thoughts and emotions, we can shift into a higher polarity and begin attracting what we want again. This takes some practice.

Whatever we focus our thoughts on with intense passion and emotion is what we will attract into our experience. So, make sure you are focused on the right things.

This is the underlying principle behind the Law of Attraction and it is essential to understand this law, if you desire to consciously create and transform your body and life. In the upcoming article posts we will look at several principles or laws that further clarify the law of attraction and provide ways to apply this to your life.

Until, then I suggest you practice observing your thoughts and emotions.

Keep a notebook with you throughout the next couple of days and see if you can be conscious of your dominant thoughts and feelings. Write down any negative thoughts, feelings, or self-talk you experience over the next couple of days.

Would you say that your thoughts are predominantly positive or negative? What do you desire for your life? Are your thoughts, feelings, beliefs, words, and actions helping you to achieve your desires or are they sabotaging your efforts?

Remember it is your predominant thoughts and feelings about life that are creating your experience. This is happening whether you are conscious of it or not. You can choose to create your life consciously or unconsciously. This is the gift of free will and the universe doesn’t care either way, it only responds to your thoughts, words, and actions. Through the use of these three keys you are the creator of your own destiny.

I will leave you with a quote from Napoleon Hill:

“Man, alone, has the power to transform his thoughts into physical reality; Man, alone, can dream and make his dreams come true.”

The definition of law of attraction basically says that you will attract anything you think about.

I truly believe that if you apply the law of attraction right, then it the law really works.

There are probably and, I’m going to say, an infinite amount of examples, ways, scenarios, questions, problems that someone could go to disapproving the law of attraction.

For example, money and financial freedom is probably one of the most important, most talked about issue in our human lives. It is something that affects all of us in ways and how our current situation is. It is something that most everyone needs and wants to have.

So taking the law of attraction into this, I would probably imagine the most common conflicting question one would ask might be, “If someone sits in a chair all day and manifests thoughts about making a million dollars, will he or she ever get it?”

Well from a practically perspective, the answer becomes quite obvious. No.

If one sits in a chair all day and does not take action then it will be impossible for them to make a million dollars because they are doing nothing.

In a practical objective world, the law is that actions produces results. Would you disagree with that?

I take the time to pick lemons from a tree, make lemonade, then set up and stand and sell a drink to someone passing by for $1. The action I took to selling lemonade produced the result which was making $1.

I mean if the law of attraction worked wouldn’t everybody started getting what they wanted? All you would have to think about is what you want and it will start gravitating to you via universe or genie. However, thousands of people complain that they are thinking about what they want, but aren’t getting it.

· I’m attracting weight loss in my life but I’m still overweight…

· I’m attracting love in my life but I’m not still single…

· I’m attracting a new car in my life but I still drive my old, junkie car…

· I’m attracting happiness, but no matter what I always feel depressed…

These are all legit reasons and I understand why people would be in awe or praise the law of attraction but end up finding themselves in a conflicting, frustrated situation. I used to be the same way thinking, “Hey if I can use the law of attraction, I can attract anything in my life and viola, I’ll get it.” But nothing ever happened and I got frustrated saying the law doesn’t work, it sucks, etc.

The truth is the law of attraction is meant to be a tool to help you get what you want, it’s not some genie that pops out of nowhere and hands you what you want. But there are sometimes where you will get what you want instantly using the law of attraction (we’ll get to that later).

I’m a practical person myself. I believe in that when you do something, something happens. When you add 1 and 1, you get 2. And if you don’t take action, unfortunately, you won’t get results no matter how hard you think about getting what it is that you want. You may get lucky, and somehow it may be delivered to you someday, but why would you take the risk letting something outside of your being control when you get things. That’s silly. Do you want to wait five years until you get a new car? Do you want to wait ten years before you attract a loving spouse? Not really, right?

In today’s society, humans want to have instant gratification for whatever they want, they want it now! That’s why the law of attraction in the past few years has been so popular. It has almost brainwashed the entire new culture of people to believe that by using the law of attraction, we can more or less get what we want quickly without doing anything. This sounds good!

The truth is the law of attraction, more or less, operates as a law in subjective reality. This means the law works actually works in one’s mind. I would say that the law of attraction is absolutely everything in one’s mind because one might argue that everything in the universe from your perspective, or anyone else’s perspective, is just a thought – a thought – that’s all it is.

What does this exactly mean? It means that anything you are thinking about, at any second, is exactly what you are getting.

Now you may laugh and say, “I already knew that,” as I first did when I someone told me about the law of attraction and how whatever you think, you are getting. I didn’t believe it because I started to put everything into question, especially , from an objective and materialistic standpoint. Why am I not getting this? And “this” usually was with something materialistic – a t-shirt, money, better grades, etc.

And even from an emotional standpoint like why am I not getting happiness or joy, it was just a completely wrong approach. It was until months to a year later where I thought about the law of attraction it absolutely works wonders in a subjective reality. And when I got it, it just clicked. Being a practical person, it actually felt awe-inspiring, but scary at the same time. Why didn’t I think about this before?

And how you need to treat the law of attraction should be form a subjective standpoint, because if you try to put it in an objective standpoint, I can almost guarantee that you will get frustrated and nothing will make sense. So how does this work? It’s just what is stated above.

Anything you are thinking about, you are getting. To really understand, you should always keep this in your mind: be conscious of what you are thinking about in the moment.

If you think about it, it makes total sense in a different way – not in a mathematical way or in a practical way. It’s outside of that. 1 plus 1 equals 2, but in this reality, 1 plus 1 equals anything you want it to be. If you think 1 plus 1 equals 3, then it equals 3. You are attracting 3, and you are getting 3. Stop trying to make sense of it because if you say, it’s impossible for 1 plus 1 to equal 3, then that’s exactly what you are getting. If you think it’s impossible, than it is impossible and you are right.

If you try to solve this problem, and you become frustrated, then you are getting frustrated. You are attracting frustration, and you are creating your own frustration. Does this make sense?

Physical things that happen in your life and the law of attraction are not a function of each other. They are two different worlds, and it’s important that you step outside of the box. Think of everything in your life as a thought. This shouldn’t be scary, even though it freaked me out at first, but it’s worth experimenting because if you get the law of attraction down, your way of going about things about life will change dramatically.

For the better or for the worse, that’s up you. If you can have anything in the world or be anything in the world, which option would you want to pick?

So know you understand that the law of attraction works in a subjective reality, meaning that your current thought at this very moment is exactly what you are getting, than you can use it as a powerful, powerful tool to applying it in the objective world, an objective world where physical things become your reality because that is what you have truly chosen.

Let’s take a look at the examples from previous.

If someone told me:

· I’m attracting weight loss in my life but I’m still overweight…

I would answer, “Okay… that’s exactly what you are getting then. You are overweight because you just said it. And even if you really didn’t believe that yourself, are you really attracting weight loss? Or are you just attracting the words “weight” and “loss.” If you’re attracting the weight loss, maybe you are getting weight loss but just not in the way that you thought you would. And if you really thought about the true meaning of weight loss, you wouldn’t be sitting here doing nothing. You would take action. In addition, you should be attracting the action it takes that leads to weight loss such as running on a treadmill, going to the gym, eating healthy, etc.”

If someone told me:

· I’m attracting love in my life but I’m not still single…

I would answer, “It’s a good thing that you are intending love in your life. Be patient and ask yourself are you really thinking about attracting love in your life or do you feel any doubt that you can’t or cannot. Is there something from the past that has made you want this and are you carrying thoughts from that past into your being right now. You need to eliminate all negative thoughts. In addition, thinking about being a loving person or a person that easily can be loved by others will help you find love. You will get there.

If someone told me:

· I’m attracting a new car in my life but I still drive my old, junkie car…

I would answer, “Well, stop imagining yourself ever driving your old, junkie car if you have any thoughts about that. Every time you are driving you’re car, you should be imagining yourself driving the car you want. If you keep having those dominant thoughts, your feelings will take over and you will start to take action to getting the car you want.

If someone told me:

· I’m attracting happiness, but no matter what I always feel depressed…

I would say, are you really attracting happiness, or are you saying you are attracting happiness but really inside you are feeling depression? There is no faking happiness. If you feel any, any sort of doubt that you are not happy, then that is what you will get. Sometimes you will be able to change your emotions just by thinking about your thoughts instantly and that is what you will attract. However, you must realize that they have to be your dominating thoughts and you have to have faith and patience that happiness will eventually come to you.

If you really think about it, it is truly what you want, your body will take action subconsciously. The results will come to you when you know what it is that you want. You can make it an easy path by attracting an easy path or a hard path by attracting a hard path. If you are groaning right now because you didn’t like that answer, then I can’t stop you that has just become your reality.

But if you think hey maybe I this makes sense and may help you, then it will. Or anything else you think about from what you just read, than it is. Your answer does not affect me, it is only affecting you.

I just want to get the message out to you to be conscious of you to have the ability to choose, intend, and manifest whatever it is you want in life. It’s a cross path between subjective reality and objective reality that’s why the law of attraction is so hard to explain for people who don’t get it.

I hope you start to think, really think about every single thing that goes on in your life and take a moment to step back and realize that you are attracting or getting what you are currently thinking about.

Do you want to experience abundant wealth, superior health and never ending opportunities. Have you searched for that one formula that will attract success and happiness?

For most people, the response is a resounding “Yes!”.

And the Law of Attraction seemed to be the answer.

The Law of Attraction produces a life of sweet, abundant fruit, providing a source of nourishment for the hungry, hope for the desperate and empowerment for the downtrodden. The Law of Attraction is the model for equal opportunity, yielding impartial results when correctly applied, regardless if one is young or old, rich or poor, loved or hated, ugly or beautiful, saint or sinner.

Law of Attraction, thanks in part to the popularity of the Secret, has changed many lives. The Law of Attraction directs us to focus our incredible resources of imagination, belief, emotion and awareness, so we consciously improve our lives instead of unconsciously sabotaging ourselves. As we practice and persist at heightening our awareness, directing our focus, developing discernment in our choices and confidently taking action on new opportunities, we experience dramatic changes in our lives.

And through the Law of Attraction, our proficiency at aligning our inner resources is mirrored by the outer circumstances in our lives.

It is a wonderful arrangement. Where is the evil in that? Better yet, the Law of Attraction exists in an infinitely abundant Universe, negating the need for conflict, competition, judgment or separation. At last we have the ingredients for creating peace on earth.

So what has gone wrong?

For one, the Law of Attraction is about creating, not controlling our life. The Law of Attraction does not operate in a vacuum. There are other forces, other Universal Laws, that affect our lives. We can’t just exercise our arms and expect our entire body to be firm, trim and strong.

However, this article focuses another misconception. And unfortunately, this misinterpretation of the Law of Attraction can be potentially destructive and recently has been gaining momentum.

I have been receiving ever more email extolling the superior character of the rich and citing the deficient mindset of the poor. The inference is that the Law of Attraction supports this view.

Just as money can be used for good or evil, the law of attraction is being misused to separate rather than unite humanity. Included below are a few of the statements that I have recently received or read illustrating this point.

The following quotes were in materials that were recently sent to me or that I have read.

“The rich must separate themselves from associating with common people to protect their minds from thoughts of poverty and struggle.”

“If you have prosperity thinking, you will rightly feel nauseated by poverty and struggle.”

“Do not concern yourself with poverty or suffering, you have nothing to do with them.”

“Since poverty and suffering are a choice, we need not risk contaminating our thoughts by providing charity.”

“The rich enjoy the finer things in life because they hold ideas, beliefs and mindsets that are different than the diseased mindset held by the common people in society.”

“Do not read books or papers that give circumstantial accounts of the wretchedness of tenement dwellers or the horrors of child labor. Keep your awareness free of negative images.”

“The poor waste their money on thrift store trinkets, while the rich wisely invest their money in assets that will increase their wealth.”

“The poor do not need charity, they need inspiration. If you want to help the poor, demonstrate to them that they can become rich. Prove it by getting rich yourself.”

These statements appeared in various sources: recent emails, articles, promotions or ecourses. Disappointingly, they were written by some of the more successful internet gurus. And this perversion of the law of attraction is gaining momentum.

Some Misconceptions.

First let’s clear up some misinterpretations. The Law of Attraction is a Universal Law, on par with the Law of Gravity. It does not distinguish between saints and sinners. If you step off a tall building you will fall to the ground. The rate of your descent is determined by laws of physics, not your character. Similarly, the Law of Attraction will be equally effective whether one’s focus is humanitarian, materialistic, destructive, or neutral.

However, the emerging doctrine contends that the wealthy have effectively utilized the Law of Attraction due to their superb character, advanced mental abilities and superior control of their impulses. Circular reasoning has resulted in these troubling and faulty observations.

Successful implementation of the Law of Attraction does require a burning desire, dedication, disciplined focus and a strong belief in oneself or at least something greater than oneself, but only as it applies to the specific desire. Character and integrity are irrelevant. And equally insignificant is one’s lack of control, irresponsible behavior or scattered thinking in other areas of their life.

Here are two examples that illustrate this concept.

Both individuals had a burning desire, determination, focus, and the belief that they could manifest their dreams.

Hitler was very adept at utilizing the law of attraction. He had a vision. He believed that he was meant to accomplish it. He devoted all of his attention and focus into achieving it. Hitler acquired wealth, power, and public devotion, so absolute, that he nearly succeeded in exterminating all the individuals he deemed inferior. His downfall began when his desire became so obsessive it interfered with his strategic judgment.

Many trains were needed to transport troops to the fronts to repel Allied attacks. Instead, he diverted them to transport the people he deemed to be inferior. He want to increase the pace of extermination of this second-rate populace before they contaminated the pure race. His deteriorating health completed his downfall by depleting his energy, weakening his focus and eroding his absolute confidence.

Joe Kennedy wanted money, power and prestige. He believed he could achieve it.

He focused his attention on acquiring this dream every waking moment. He created his financial fortune by underhanded dealings in the stock market before it was regulated. He associated with the elite and backed the winning politicians, regardless of their views, to secure a position of power. To remain in good standing with this powerful majority, he encouraged his sons to enlist in a war to which he was opposed. The ultimate prestige, having his son win the Presidency, was his greatest dream. He attracted this desire with the power of his will, fierce determination and a few huge donations to the powerful and persuasive mob.

Contrast Hitler and Kennedy with Gandhi and Christ, who were not financially well off by most standards. Which ones had character?

To Set the Record Straight

I grew up in family that was financially very well off, in a wealthy neighborhood, and socialized with wealthy and influential people. I have also had the opportunity to live with families in the projects. I saw no difference in the character, determination, discipline or mindset between the two groups. Except, perhaps, for one. The poor were more honest about their shortcomings.

We all do the best that we can at the time in whatever situation that we find ourselves. Therefore, my observations in this article are in no way directed at or a comment about the personal choices that anyone makes in their own life. I am not privy to another person’s situation, history, fears, needs or dreams.

People and circumstance change from moment to moment. Desires can become obsessions and acceptance can turn into apathy. We all experience situations that require us to choose between our priorities, desires and principles. Character is distributed evenly between the rich and poor. And only the exceptional few have that special quality to consistently demonstrate the courage of their convictions when something that they hold dear is at stake.

Therefore, my only intention is to express my deep concern over the opinions mentioned earlier. Respected individuals, with a reader following are influential. Comments that judge, separate, categorize, even unintentionally, may plant seeds of negativity and condemnation. And that can profoundly affect the lives of many people.

Why We Can’t Ignore Pain and Suffering

The next few paragraphs are devoted to pointing out the shortsightedness of the statements that I quoted at the beginning of this article.

If we chose to remain unaware of the plight of our human brethren, atrocities continue unabated. Awareness, attention and compassion are the catalyst to change. If people in the past had ignored suffering, there would still be no child labor laws. Slavery might still exist in this country as it does in other countries today. And women’s place would still be barefoot and in the kitchen.

The torture at Guantanamo would have gone unnoticed, unchecked, and unchallenged. The horrors Hitler perpetrated on the world went unnoticed for many years because no one cared or believed or wanted to get involved. “It had nothing to do with them.” Dictators control the media to maintain secrecy. Without awareness and compassion, they will not face interference from the people. Hence, they can continue the terror, abuse and rape of the country and its people, its poor people.

Dictators, no doubt, will champion this type of thinking. If we consciously choose to remain aware of the plight of the common man, dictators can rest assured that there will be no interference. Instead of wasting their time on propaganda, they can get on with their business.

Abused spouses have only recently seen any hope of improving their situation. Why? Partly because it was kept quiet and few people were aware of the problem. And partly because the prevailing attitude was that the abused either asked for it, deserve it, or had a choice to leave, never mind that they were penniless, unemployed, lacked job skills, afraid and alone, except perhaps for their dependent children and equally frightened children.

The suggestion that one should withhold charity and instead inspire the poor by amassing personal wealth, leaves me dumbfounded. People who are starving, their farms decimated by drought and their children’s bellies swollen from hunger will only be more acutely aware of their lack and failure in the presence of others who are championing their own personal success. Furthermore, it demonstrates a lack of compassion and an ignorance of human biology and psychology.

The Truth About Human Needs

Unless our basic needs are satisfied – food, water, shelter, clothing – we are not likely to concerns ourselves with concepts. What would you do if your only means of providing for your family was destroyed by drought or pestilence, no relief in sight, your children starving and shivering with cold, and someone dripping with money approached you and said, don’t asks for handouts, think positive, visualize fertile farms and you will be prosperous. I know what I would tell them.

I concur, handouts without education is short sighted. And contrary to many people’s opinion, most people want to be self sufficient. Handouts tend to be demeaning. However, handouts are easier, a band aid to the larger issues. Actually addressing the underlying problems would require many committed individuals. To develop a lasting solution, one needs people with awareness and compassion who are dedicated to implementing a long term plan of action.

Although focusing on solutions is always the best approach, sometimes, understanding the cause is essential to craft an effective solution rather than a placebo. Unless the causes are resolved and the needs are met, any solution will be short lived.

Perhaps there is some truth to the saying “Birds of a feather flock together.” However, avoiding all interaction with the poor or struggling for fear of being contaminated by their diseased thinking, suggests a lack of confidence in one’s own mental fortitude. Since the wealthy are claiming to have a superior mindset, perhaps, they could direct their laser focus on thoughts that would attract immunity against contamination by the diseased mindset of the common man. With their claim of elite mental faculties, that should be a cake walk.

Personal Experience

Naturally my personal experience has affected my view. There was a point in my life that I needed a few hand outs to get back on my feet. I also needed some free services and therapy. And my predicament was mostly due to my own misguided perceptions and poor choices. That’s hardly a situation that would elicit compassion from most individuals. But fortunately, there were some high minded people who helped me just the same. And had I not received this help, support and guidance, I would be in wretched circumstance or perhaps dead. But gratefully there were some aware people who noticed my plight. They also did not shun charitable organizations. Their concern for my struggle enabled me to change my life.

However, in my dire circumstances, homeless, hopeless and ill, simply telling me to think positive and believe in abundance, would have been meaningless to me, if not laughable. And under those conditions, I would not have had the opportunity to ever have heard about the Law of Attraction. My circumstances today, and the benefits that I can provide for others, are due to the people who believed that I and others like me were there concern. Their assistance enabled me to meet my physical needs. Only then did I have the luxury to discover, appreciate, understand and apply the Law of Attraction.

The Law of Attraction is a Universal Law and thus it is neutral. It works equally well no matter your character, no matter your requests. Just like money, it is neither positive nor negative. They both provide the freedom to shape your life as you desire. The Law of Attraction works for the person that has self serving or even destructive intentions as well as for the one who is pure of heart.

Keep in mind that the energy of your intentions and motives are even more powerful than your beliefs. And when they are self serving judgmental or indifferent, those energies are equalized by another Universal Law.

Perhaps you have heard of it.

It is the Law of Cause and Effect, better known as Karma.

In other words, there is no need to engage the law of attraction, it is already at work in your life and always will be. So long as you are alive and breathing, the law of attraction is at work. This is great news! You are already using the law of attraction to create everything in your life whether you realise it or not. The results that you are experiencing: your career, finances, relationships, health, home, community, and so on, are a direct result of the law of attraction and your interaction with it in the form of thoughts and feelings.

If you’re not creating the kind of life you want though, chances are you are creating by default, allowing the law of attraction to bring you more and more of the same. Unfortunately, we weren’t handed a life manual at birth and, for many of us, our parents were not aware of the law of attraction and so did not teach us. At Attract Like Magic we are dedicated to helping you understand this powerful universal law and how you can begin to use the law of attraction to consciously create the life of your dreams. On the Attract Like Magic site, and in upcoming newsletters and articles, we will explore everything to do with the law of attraction and provide tools that will help you to harness its power.

But in order to really understand the law of attraction, you first need to understand another of the universal laws, the law of vibration.

Law of Vibration

According to the law of vibration everything is made of energy and has a distinct frequency or vibration. With the advent of powerful enough technology, science now agrees. Quantum physicists have shown that, although matter may appear to be solid, when you look at it through a high-powered microscope so that it is broken down into its smallest components: molecules, atoms, neutrons, electrons and quanta (the smallest particles measurable), it is ultimately mostly empty space interspersed with energy.

In other words, at the quantum level, everything is comprised of energy and empty space and what makes you, your home, your car, the chair you’re sitting in, seem solid is the frequency of the vibration of the energy that makes it up.

Not only does your body and all that you consider to be “you” have a distinct and unique vibration (or more correctly a mix of vibrations), but your creations, in the form of thoughts, also have distinct vibrations which affect or blend with your overall vibration.

In turn, your vibrations affect everything around you – your environment, the people and animals around you, the inanimate objects, even the seemingly ‘empty’ space and they, in turn, affect you. That’s why, when you walk into a room where there was an earlier argument, you can sense it. We even use terms like “bad vibes”, “you can feel the tension”, and “you could cut the air in here with a knife” to describe it. In each case what we are referring to is the energy imprint of the earlier occupants.

Similarly, you may have gone to someone’s home, office or business where, as soon as you entered, you felt the “good vibes” that filled the place. That’s because, over time, a place becomes imbued with the energy imprints of the dominant vibrations of the people who live or work there. So a home, for example, can literally become filled with love or tension or anger or sadness or any other emotion, and that home will feel that way to a visitor even if none of the regular occupants are at home at the time. If you’ve ever entered such a place you may even have noticed how you just relaxed and felt good in response to the “good vibes” around you. Of course, the extent to which you take on the vibrations of the people and things around you is up to you – but for most people, this is not a conscious decision.

So, you are giving off vibrations every second of every day. You are also simultaneously receiving and translating the vibrations of everything and everyone around you. If we use the analogy of television, you are both a television transmitter, beaming out your own unique station, and also a television set or receiver, able to tune in to all the stations or frequencies being broadcast around you. Sometimes we refer to these incoming vibrations as intuition or “gut feelings”.

So how do you know what your vibration is at any moment?

Simple – ask yourself how you are feeling.

Your emotions are a quick and handy guide to your vibration in any moment. If you feel loving, you are vibrating at the frequency of love; if you feel angry, you are vibrating at the frequency of anger; if you feel curious, you are vibrating at the frequency of curiosity, and those vibrations are received by everything and everyone around you. You are also, through the law of attraction, bringing to you more experiences that will match this vibration so when you feel angry the law of attraction will bring to you more experiences that will elicit the feeling of anger, you will attract angry people and find yourself in the middle of angry situations.

Have you ever had a day where you felt lousy, but tried to pretend that everything was OK to family, friends or co-workers? It doesn’t work does it? Your friends, family or co-workers know straight away that you are not how you are pretending to be. They may ask if something is wrong, or comment that you don’t seem to be your normal self. They pick up on the incongruence between what you are saying and your vibration. Because we are not used to explaining in terms of vibrations, they may attribute their knowing to something more mundane like tone of voice or body language, but even people without the full use of their senses can detect this type of incongruence.

To sum up, you are sending out vibrations every moment of every day. Those vibrations are a mix of your thoughts and feelings and they affect everything around you. At the same time you are also receiving and translating the vibrations of everything around you (which can, in turn, affect your vibration by how you react to them). Now that we understand vibration, let’s look at how it interacts with the law of attraction.

Law of Attraction

The law of attraction, simply put, means energy attracts like energy. You may also have heard it expressed as “like attracts like’, “that which is like unto itself is drawn” and even “thoughts become things”.

The law of attraction is at work in your life every minute of every day. Your vibrations are constantly being broadcast to, and received, by the universe. This activates the law of attraction which then matches your vibrations and attracts to you similar vibrations in the form of people, things and situations in your life. In other words you are always creating your life through your thoughts and feelings. The conditions in your life, whether they are what you want or not, are always a match to your dominant vibrations.

The law of attraction, like all the universal laws, operates whether you are aware of it or not, or believe it or not. The often-used terms “what you focus on grows”, “careful what you wish for (cause you just might get it)”, “birds of a feather flock together” and “you can’t get enough of what you don’t want” are all examples of ways that we describe the law of attraction in action.

So, the question becomes – if your life is not how you would wish it to be, how do you change it? And the answer most often given by law of attraction and personal development teachers is a simple one – change your thoughts.

Simple – yes, but not easy. Here’s why.

Somewhere between 94 – 98% of all thoughts are subconscious, that is, below or out of conscious awareness which means that only 2 – 6% of your thoughts are ever conscious. So, even if you managed to change all of your conscious thoughts to be positive, that still leaves an awful lot of subconscious thought, at least some of which would be negative, vibrating away in the background without you even being aware of it! If you’re having trouble creating what you want in life, chances are your subconscious mind is at fault.

In our next article we will explore the subconscious mind and how it can interfere with your Law of Attraction efforts.

Could this be true?

During my introduction to the Law of Attraction, I needed to make a shift to the positive; I’d surely had enough negative experience to last a lifetime. Before to long my life carried on staying the same, bills, debt, more bills, more debt, you get the picture.

What was happening?

Understanding the Law of Attraction principles was not a problem, I focused on the positive, and all I was getting was the same old deal. We are told that we need faith, we need to believe and be grateful and this elusive Law of Attraction will kick in. Great, I had the answer, say thank you to everyone and all would be OK!

The postman got a thank you for not bringing a bill, the trolley boy at the supermarket got one for leaving a trolley out for me, so did the checkout girl because there was no queue, I thanked the ATM machine, the bank manager, the kid on the bike, my computer, the cooker, heck I must be the most grateful person on the planet, this Law of Attraction ain’t going turn me down.

After a few days of this everything started to go wrong, you guessed it, the postman brought a bill, the trolley boy left no trolley, the checkout girl left a queue, even the ATM stopped giving me money.

What’s going wrong? What was I missing?

Then those words rang out at me again, in understanding the Law of Attraction process you needed Faith and Belief. But how could I Believe? This stuff hadn’t worked up to now, so how could I believe? Tell me how it works and then I’ll Believe, “You don’t need to know, you don’t know how electricity works, but you still use it”

But that’s not fair! With electricity, I don’t need faith, I plug the kettle in and get a steaming cup of coffee, whether I believe it or not.

So the question is, if I focus on the fact that I have little money, bad health, or a poor relationship, how and why does the Law of Attraction respond by giving me more of what I’m focusing on?

And if I shift my focus to the positive how do my desires come true? And this is the great secret of the secret, in understanding The Law of Attraction and knowing how it works, you’ll start to trust it

Trust it and you’ll start to believe it. Believe it, and it will start to respond and only then can you start to refine, mould, and create your desired reality.

So How and why does the Law of Attraction, work?

This is not an easy question to answer, arguably the first self-improvement guide that existed, which mentioned, or more accurately referred to the law attraction, was the First Testament. We therefore have to take a ‘Spiritual’ or ‘Religious’ view.

So do I argue the existence of a God?

But then again, it is science that has put the law of attraction, back on the modern day ‘table’.

So do I argue the fact of science?

You see, throughout history, it has been a battle of science and religion, from astrology to evolution, you could not sit on the fence, were you blinded by science or misguided by religion?

This is a dawn of a new age, where religion will need to embrace its own evolution, and science its spirituality. Our minds are like parachutes, only functioning properly when fully open, and now is the time to ‘Pull The Cord’. But for many people any consideration to the principles behind the way the Law of Attraction work is a futile exercise unless we can prove this Law.

Is it that the Law of Attraction, is just a theory?

Strictly speaking it is, but there is some confusion between what “theory” means informally, compared to a “theory” of science. In the scientific sense, a theory is a group of general propositions used as principles to explain a condition or phenomena.

So does this mean that the law, Attraction is uncertain?

Not at all, or more accurately speaking, as uncertain as electricity, gravity and evolution. Ah, I here you say, electricity and gravity are governed by laws! True, and here’s the difference, a theory does not imply lack of certainty, but explains the reason for seeing a result, to our best understanding, a law however, implies that the results we see can be calculated in controlled conditions. Yes but as a theory, the law, Attraction has no proof!

Ok, but does that make it weak?

Has anything in the physical world ever been proved? Or will it ever be?

In the real world, we must deal with levels of certainty based on evidence. The more and better evidence we have for something, the more certainty we assign to it; when there is enough evidence, we label the something a fact, even though it still isn’t 100% certain, or fully understood.

To use proof as an argument against the ‘theory’ of the law ‘Attraction’, is ridiculous … you might as well argue that gravity is a theory, and that we can’t assume objects will always fall to the ground, after all it’s far from being completely understood.

What the Law Attraction has, is what any good scientific claim has, evidence, and lots of it. A wide range of observations throughout history supports the law Attraction and to challenge the theory, Attraction, you must address that evidence.

You must show that the evidence is either wrong or irrelevant, or that it fits another theory better.

Of course, to do this, you must know both the theory and the evidence. So what is the evidence of this law Attraction? One of the most successful self-help books of all time was a 25 year study of success principles documented by Napoleon Hill in his books Law of Success and Think and Grow Rich

Think and Grow Rich Hill refers to the law ‘Attraction’ as the ‘Secret’, which has made fortunes for more than five hundred exceedingly wealthy men whom he carefully analyzed over a long period of years.

This secret, the Law of Attraction, was brought to Hill’s attention by Andrew Carnegie, asking Hill if he would be willing to spend twenty years or more, taking this principle to the world, to men and women who, without the secret, might go through life as failures.

This book contains the secret law Attraction, after having been put to a practical test by thousands of people, in almost every walk of life. It was Mr. Carnegie’s idea that the magic formula, which gave him a stupendous fortune, ought to be placed within reach of people who do not have time to investigate how men make money, and it was his hope that Hill might test and demonstrate the soundness of the formula through the experience of men and women in every calling.

He believed the formula should be taught in all public schools and colleges, and expressed the opinion that if it were properly taught it would so revolutionize the entire educational system that the time spent in school could be reduced to less than half.

Napoleon Hill analyzed hundreds of well known men, many of whom admitted that they had accumulated their vast fortunes through the aid of the Carnegie secret; among these men were: Ford, Wrigle, Wanamaker, Roosevelt, Hubbard, Wright, Schab, Gillette, Rockefeller, Edison, Woolworth and Bell.

“These names represent but a small fraction of the hundreds of well known Americans whose achievements, financially and otherwise, prove that those who understand and apply the Carnegie secret, reach high stations in life. I have never known anyone who was inspired to use the secret, who did not achieve noteworthy success in his chosen calling. I have never known any person to distinguish himself, or to accumulate riches of any consequence, without possession of the secret. From these two facts I draw the conclusion that the secret is more important, as a part of the knowledge essential for self-determination, than any which one receives through what is popularly known as education.”

I do suggest that you read Think and Grow Rich, which you can download from the Law-of-Attraction-Guide Pdf Library. However Hills preceding book, The Law of Success, is a much clearer and concise version, but, an extremely rare book!

“We speak learnedly of the Law of Gravitation, but ignore that equally wonderful manifestation, The Law of Attraction in the Thought World,” William Walker Atkinson wrote in his 1908 treatise Thought Vibration or The Law of Attraction in the Thought World.

Atkinson saw Thought as “a Force – a manifestation of energy – having a magnet-like power of attraction,” and he claimed the reason life denies us what we desire is “we close our eyes to the mighty law that draws to us the things we desire or fear, that makes or mar our lives.”

If we fall in love with whatever it is we desire to attain, if it becomes our ruling passion or desire, then the Law of Attraction, Atkinson believed, kicks in.

The Law, he assured his readers, will draw negative events to us if we’re always negative and the things we desire if we maintain a positive state of mind and do not waver from our intended purpose.

Some people, including talk show host Larry King, have doubts about the efficacy of The Law of Positive Attraction because, it seems to bypass those born into awful poverty and starvation who will, no matter how positive their thoughts, probably die without a chance to ever raise themselves out of the circumstances into which they were born.

Witness what’s going on in Darfur.

So is The Law of Attraction a Law as real as gravity or is it a work in progress – a “habit” of the universe rather than a ironclad Law?

Rupert Sheldrake, biologist with a Ph.D. in biochemistry from Cambridge University, has written more than ten books including A New Science of Life and The Presence of the Past. Sheldrake says most of the laws of nature, as well as the universe, are more habits rather than Laws.

He states, “There is no need to suppose that all the laws of nature sprang into being fully formed at the moment of the Big Bang, like a kind of cosmic Napoleonic code, or that they [these Laws] exist in a metaphysical realm beyond time and space.”

Eternal laws make sense to us. Aren’t they why the universe works? This would seem, at first glance, to be the case.

Sheldrake thinks differently. He believes the universe learns, just as we do. Nature progresses, the laws of nature also progress, just as human laws evolve over time. Sheldrake’s years of research have led him to conclude that the Laws of the Universe, so-called, are habits it has learned over time.

The more habits are repeated “the more probable they become, other things being equal.” Habits of past members of the species are transmitted, he says, “through a kind of non-local resonance, called morphic resonance.”

“Many kinds of organisms have habits,” Sheldrake writes, “but only humans have laws.”

Through what he calls Morphic resonance “the patterns of activity in self-organizing systems [which we are; which the universe is] are influenced by similar patterns in the past, giving each species and each kind of self-organizing system a collective memory,” which is then integrated into what we humans call Laws but are actually habits of the species – and habits of the cosmos.

If Sheldrake is right, and I’m not arguing that he is, his theories would seem to suggest a different view of the Law of Attraction. The Law of Attraction, therefore, may not be an eternal law but a habit progressing toward Law status. This “Law” may likely be a work in progress, not a final fact.

What does it mean when we hint that the Law of Attraction may be a work in progress and not an eternal law set in motion at the time of, or before, the origin of our universe, solar system, and earth?

The implications, actually, are pretty exciting.

In Self-Creation by George Weinberg, Ph.D., Weinberg indicates that “Every time you act you add strength to the motivating idea behind what you’ve done.”

What this means is, “The act retypes the motivating message in your mind. When not acted on, the message becomes weaker as if fading from an electronic screen. When it is acted on it becomes brighter, louder, recharged, prompting more of the same acts.” In other words, “Acting on any belief or feeling makes you believe or feel it more.”

There is a two stage effect of any act, Weinberg says. “The immediate effect is to satisfy, assuage, reduce the motivating impulse behind it. The ultimate effect, however, is to strengthen it.” The paranoid person, for example, who checks and rechecks the locks feels first stage relief, “and ultimate reinforcement of his paranoia.”

How does what Weinberg is saying tie into our premise about “Law” of Attraction?

By the way, Self-Creation is not a book that mentions the Law of Attraction. It’s about how our acts, our behaviors, intensify the motivating message behind the acts we perform which makes them, to a certain degree, habits – for better or worse.

Reading his book we discover that “Any acts of avoidance based on fear will entrench the fear,”

‘Talking about our problems is the most impressive way a depressive keeps the depression going,” Weinberg writes. “Start checking up on someone [you don't trust] and you’ll become even more suspicious.”

A man will never forgive you for the wrong he has done you,” Weinberg says.

“That which I feared most has come upon me,” Job in the Old Testament told his friends. Job blamed himself and his fears for his troubles. Doesn’t Job’s plight sound like the gravitation force of his fears, the “Law of Attraction” at work, making his worries visible? It would seem so, doesn’t it?

It is a paradox that “Self-protection does not alleviate fear, it increases it.”

“Love someone and they seem to become more worthy of your love,” Weinberg writes. This how Law of Attraction advocates say the Law works. We attract the “vibrations” of other minds keyed to our thoughts.

In Using Your Mind For a Change, Richard Bandler observes that “Most people motivate themselves by thinking about how bad they will feel if they don’t do something. A few people do the reverse. They use pleasant feelings as motivators. Those few,” he writes, “live in an entirely different world than most people.”

“Love someone and they seem to become more worthy of your love,” Weinberg notes.

Is it possible that we, by our thoughts, actions, feelings, moods, and desires, for good or ill, are teaching the Habit of Attraction how to become the eternal Law of Attraction?

Might it be likely that all the wonderful things people who follow the “Law” of Attraction are doing – imagery, meditation, positive thinking, affirmations, cutting pictures of what they desire from magazines and creating Dream Boards – are showing the Habit of Attraction how, as a work in progress – to become a better, more dependable Law of Attraction?

If this is so, then the Habit of Attraction is Learning from us to become a better, more efficient, reliable friend and “Law” to our worthy desires, but it’s also learning – from our human thought forms – how to create images on the screen of space colored by our inner fears and money worries as well as the images on our nightly network news.

Our thoughts are powerful Forces!

“Never lose sight of the great principle of autosuggestion,” The great healer Emile Coue’ told his patients who visited his clinic in Nancy, France, during the 1920′s: “Optimism always and in spite of everything, even when events do not seem to justify it.”

The Law of Habit of Attraction, learning from us and ever closer to becoming an eternal Law of Attraction – thanks to us – will, if we trust it – be a powerful ally.

“Then again he begins to set into motion the great Law of Attraction, whereby he draws to him help, and is, in turn, attracted to others who can aid him.,” William Walker Atkinson writes. “This Law of Attraction is no joke, but is a great live working principle of Nature, as anyone may learn by experimenting and observing.”

Whatever side you take in this discussion, it’s always a good idea to remember the words of the comedian George Burns who said, “There’s something to this thinking positive business!”
