Manifesting with the Law of Attraction

We hear a lot about the Law of Attraction these days but what is it, how long have people known about it and what use is it to you and me?

These are all good questions, I am glad you asked. The Law of Attraction, sometimes called the Law of Intent or the Law of Mind, is a natural, universal law. Basically is says that whatever dominant thoughts we hold in our minds must, sooner or latter, manifest in our lives. The law is as old as time, like all natural laws it came into being at the beginning of the universe, with the big bang. What use is it to you? That’s entirely up to you. If you learn how to use this law properly it can bring you everything you desire.

So is the Law of Attraction magic? Well, yes and no. It really depends on how you use the word ‘magic’. Most Law of Attraction gurus would say “no, the Law of Attraction is not magic, it is a natural law”. I would say that their answer indicates that they don’t know what magic is, they don’t know what the word means. There are lots of natural laws, the Law of Gravity, Boyles Law, The Second Law of Thermodynamics and The Law of Attraction being just a few. A much older name of The Law of Attraction is ‘magic’, sometimes spelt ‘magick’ to distinguish it from stage magic. Aleister Crowley defined magic as “the science and art of causing change to occur in conformity with the will”. That would also be a very good definition of the Law of Attraction if you ask me.

So you can call it Magic, the Law of Attraction, spell casting, praying or whatever you like but how does it work? Well there seems to be two quite different things going on here. The first explanation, which may possibly account for part of the success people are achieving with this process may have to to with quantum physics. I say “may” because we don’t really know. This is cutting edge stuff and the scientific jury is still out. What we do know for certain is at the smallest subatomic level, what scientists call the Planck Scale, particles of subatomic matter can be in several places at once. Strange but true.

And what is even stranger is that they don’t seem to decide on which one of those places to be until they are observed, then they snap into place. Scientists call this the collapse of the wave field. Ok, so very small particles are affected by observation which leads us logically to suppose that the aspect of observation which is controlling matter at the Planck Scale, is mind. So have scientists finally proved mind over matter to be a fact? Well scientists tend to be a very conservative bunch and, as I say, the jury is still out. To learn more about this I strongly recommend you watch the DVD What The Bleep Do We Know?

The second mechanism by which magic works is a lot more mundane. Whether we say a prayer, cast a spell or say a Law of Attraction affirmation what we are really doing is stating an intention. Our own subconscious mind will then take that intention and, just like an onboard computer on an aeroplane, it will take us there. But that’s not magic you say, that’s psychology. My friend, magic has always just been psychology. Magic is the earliest form of applied, practical psychology. Witches, and before them Druids, and before them who knows who, were the earliest physiologists, long before Freud and his palls reinvented the wheel and made it all ‘respectable’. We can be or do or have whatever we want. We just need to believe we can, to give ourselves permission. Society has brainwashed us since birth to believe we can’t. So all the wand waving and other paraphernalia of the occult are just psychological tricks to make us believe we can. And when we believe we can, we give ourselves permission and we can. We always could, we just needed reminding. We just needed to believe again.

At the time of writing, everybody is raving about the hit DVD “The Secret”. Get a copy, watch it, its brilliant! People say there is nothing new in it. They say it just teaches the Law of Attraction which has been known and practiced in a myriad of different forms for many thousands of years. All true but The Secret does one very special thing. It peels away all the mystery, all the occult overtones, and presents the Law of Attraction in a very clean, modern, no frills way. You don’t need to wear special robes, burn incense, light candles, wave wands. You just see it done and FEEL it done, and it is.

Of course advanced occultists have know for thousands of years that you just see it done and FEEL it done, and it is but now you know it too. This knowledge has been hidden (‘occult’ simply means ‘hidden’) for far too long. Along the timeline great people have come forward to give the Law of Attraction back to the people. Great figures like the Buddha, Jesus, K’ung-fu-tzu (Confucius) and many others tried to make this stuff plain knowledge. But the rich and powerful institutions of the world don’t want you to have this knowledge. They want to keep it to themselves, secret, hidden, occult. They have always needed to have an underclass of cheap labour to work their land, and more recently their factories. So they frightened people by saying that magic was evil, the work of the Devil (which they conveniently invented for the purpose). When that didn’t work they resorted to torture and mass murder, remember the Burning Times, the inquisition? How could people have ever been so cruel, so wicked?

Well today, burning witches is no longer politically correct thank goodness, so there is a new tactic, debunking. They want you to believe that its all superstition, that there never were any real witches, that magic is for children. Look at the way the subject is dealt with in children’s fiction. Well I can assure you that magic is very real and that witches are very real, as real today as they have ever been. But you don’t have to spend years studying witchcraft or Wicca in order to master the Law of Attraction. If you do want to that’s fine. Learning Wicca will give you a lot of very powerful tools to help you make the Law of Attraction work better and faster. But that path does not appeal to everyone and you certainly do not need to go down that road.

Having everything you want is yours by right. It is your birthright. The simplest way to lean how to do this quickly is to get a copy of The Secret and watch it. However, while you are waiting for your copy to arrive in the post, read the following pages. I will try and set out some of the basics for you here to get you started on this fascinating and highly profitable road.

Have a great life, you deserve it!

If you have followed all the talk about the law of attraction and the DVD (and book), ‘The Secret’, then you will realize that must shift your brain into a position of visualizing your desired outcome. The ancient wisdom said to ‘believe that you have received.’ In other words, start seeing your dream or goal ‘as if’ it has already happened.

Some people find it difficult to do this while also feeling the emotion of their desire as being accomplished. Nonetheless, this aspect is vital to allowing the manifestation of it in your life.

I want to give you a simple yet very powerful exercise that you can do that will help you vividly experience both the visualization and the emotion. Follow this exercise and practice it as often as you can. It will work in a powerful yet quite natural way for you.

Project yourself sometime into the future. Depending on how large your desired outcome is in comparison with what you truly believe can happen, you will have to set the time limit. I will let you know that the power to bring this about in your life, whether you consider it the universe or God or something else, doesn’t operate on a time schedule like you and I. So whatever time you assign to this future point, doesn’t really matter. As the ancient scripture says, ‘According to your faith, let it be done unto you.’

As you project yourself into the future, imagine yourself looking backward in time, recounting the thing that you now desire, as having already taken place. What you are doing is projecting yourself into the future and seeing yourself give testimony of the thing you now desire. The difference is, you are looking backward in time ‘as if’ it has already happened.

Let me give you some examples of this.

Today is December 4, 2007. I will (in my mind’s imagination chamber and eye) project myself 2 years from now. Let’s say that I want to have a $1 million net worth at that time.

First, I imagine the turnaround in my thinking, looking back to today, December 4, 2007. In my imagination, it is December 4, 2009. I’m talking to a friend, doing an interview, standing up in a group that I’m a part of (perhaps even your place of worship) and recounting my turning point, two years ago.

I like to project myself as a host on Oprah. Oprah is telling the audience who I am and what significant work, event, invention, etc., that has brought me to this point of success in my life.

She says something like, “My next guest is Michael Murphy from Sherman, Texas. Michael used the power of the law of attraction to begin doing a free email service, simply empowering people through the power of encouragement. He began in February of 2006 to send out an email that directly gave amazing and powerful encouragement. Today, (December 4, 2009) he is reaching over 1,000,000 people through his 3 time weekly emails and giving them amazing encouragement and affirmations that are changing thousands of lives. He is also the author of 4 books, two of which are completely personalized books embedding the reader’s name in over 100 pages of what he calls, ‘Powerfirmations’. He has opened up a new field in book publishing by creating personalized books that no one has ever done previously.” Then, Oprah brings me on and begins the interview.

Now you may not see yourself going on Oprah. I do. I also see myself creating 1,000 personalized Powerfirmations books per week. I go into how my life turned around and how I’m living my dream by helping encourage and empower hundreds of thousands of people around the world.

As Mark Victor Hansen puts it, I’m creating my ‘Future Diary’. You may see yourself telling a friend or doing an interview with a journalist. You may see yourself telling your children or grandchildren what you’ve done and accomplished. The key is, give your testimony in detail of exactly how you want it to be.

My next suggestion is to write out your story in detail and review it often.

You’ll find that as you take action in doing what I’m sharing, you will feel the excitement and trigger emotions of hope, faith, confidence and clarity. You will begin to do what Dr. Covey said in his great book, The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. You will “begin with the end in mind”. You will find this as an amazing tool to bring about the manifestation of what you want in your life. You find yourself ‘living your future, now’.

I am writing my autobiography. I’m not stopping it at today. I’m going ahead and telling my whole story. I’m telling how I want my future to be. I actually plan to self-publish it and put into a bound book.

You too can predict your own future. In fact, recognize it or not, you are the prophet of your own life. You create your reality. I heard people tell me for many years, “Michael, if you fail to plan then you are planning to fail.” Well, the problem I had was, I didn’t know how to put together a plan for what I wanted to do. I didn’t know ‘how’ to do what I wanted to do. So how could I make a roadmap to go somewhere that I’d never been before.

That’s when I came up with this exercise. It is an amazing tool that anyone can do and use.

I encourage to take action in getting started on your own future. Start dreaming about where you want to be. Start writing it out. Start telling your ‘future’ story, now. Start planning your life and describe how you want it to be. Stop living haphazardly and start living on purpose. You and you alone will create your amazing life and live your dreams.

Is there a person in the world who does not want abundance in their lives? Do people want to live in poverty? Of course not, but how does one go about gaining the abundance they desire?

Why are some people wealthy and others poor? Some might say that it is just the way the world works; the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, and it is usually the rich taking from the poor that makes it so. But, is that true? I guess it depends on perspective.

Granted, there are people who are born into wealthy families, who never have to put much thought into how to get the things they desire, but those are not the people I want to discuss. After all, some people born with a silver spoon in their mouths die bankrupt. I want to talk about the people who have everything they want as the result of doing something to get it.

Why is it that some people seem to attract money, good fortune, fame, etc., while others seem to fail at everything? One word… ATTITUDE!

The Secret, really is no secret at all. It is all in the application of the Law of Attraction. The ‘haves’ know and practice it, and the ‘have-nots’ don’t. It is that simple.

What is the Law of Attraction? It is the scientific principle that states: Like attracts like. If you think about having debt, you will have debt. If you think about wealth, you will attract wealth. If you think about being unhappy, you will be unhappy. If you think about happiness, you will be happy.

For example: When a person focuses on all of the things they don’t have, they become frustrated, angry, and unhappy. But if that same person put the same amount of energy into being grateful for all that they do have, they would begin to feel good. When a person feels good, they go about their day doing things that perpetuate that feeling; attracting more into their life to make them feel even better. When a person feels bad, they tend to do things that perpetuate that feeling too.

Remember what Tinkerbell told Peter Pan…? If you want to fly, just think a happy thought. That is how the Law of Attraction works. Think happy thoughts, focus on them, and take action. You just cannot feel bad, when you’re thinking about good things.

Good thoughts lead to more good thoughts and ultimately to good actions. Bad thoughts lead to more bad thoughts and… You get the picture. People have been writing about it for a very long time. People like: Norman Vincent Peale, Napoleon Hill, Wallace D. Wattles, etc.. They knew about the Law of Attraction and wrote about it. Millions have read their books, and have learned the secret through them. In fact, the hit movie, The Secret, was based on Wallace D. Wattles book, The Science of Getting Rich, which is all about the Law of Attraction.

It all boils down to this: If you want abundance in your life, you must think about having it, not about not having it. Think about what you have, and be grateful for it, what you want; not about what you lack.

What is the Science of Getting Rich about? The ownership of money and property comes as a result of doing things in a certain way. Those who do things in this certain way, get rich. Those who do not do things in this certain way, no matter how hard they work or how able they are, remain poor. It is a natural law that like causes always produce like effects. Therefore, any man or woman who learns to do things in this certain way will infallibly get rich. The Science of Getting Rich Seminar is all about teaching how to do things in this “certain” way to create wealth.
