The Law of Attraction

Filed under Law of Attraction

The Law of Attraction has been the subject of debates between the believers & the skeptics. Some people wouldn’t even call it a law. However, The Secret which is a documentary about the law of attraction, has gained worldwide fame and has become an immense business success. The owner of this site is a firm believer of the law of attraction & manifesting through her own experiences for 10 years now.

Simply put, the law of attraction states “what is within, is without”. That which is contained within your mind can be materialized in your outward reality. You attract whatever you focused your mind on or whatever you accept & believe with certainty.

For many centuries now the law of attraction has been used by successful men & women along with action. Long before The Secret came, there were already numerous books written about it. Even so much better than The Secret. Two of the most famous and the probably the most exploited in the internet’s law of attraction niche are the Science of Getting Rich & As A Man Thinketh.

The law of attraction is an application of the power of the subconscious mind and mind power phenomenons. The law of attraction has also been the basis for many spiritual practices, like magick spells, feng shui, neuro-linguistic programming & positive thinking.

On the downside, the law of attraction works even if your thoughts are negative & will not benefit you. For this reason, the law of attraction gave rise to the idea of deliberate creation or conscious creation. You own the power to control the situations in your life by changing the quality of your own thoughts through mind control.

For me, the first ingredient to successfully use the law of attraction is a good self-concept. Self-concept is your perception of yourself or your understanding or knowledge of yourself. Why? A poor self-concept can lead to low self-esteem. The law of attraction requires faith in the unknown and in your power to consciously change your life for the better. The law of attraction will not take the time to work for you (in a beneficial way) if you do not believe it could, and worst if you do not believe that you DESERVE what you trying to attract.

Is the Law of Attraction Magic?

Filed under 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!

Manifesting Abundance

Filed under Manifesting Abundance

People have always perceived money, wealth, abundance or prosperity to be scarce. By default, we have come to accept that and live like that in our everyday reality. We have been raised with our parents arguing about money or the lack of resources, we had to scrimp because there is little money, and we have heard a great deal about what the “want” of money can lead people to do.

It is exactly that “want” that leaves people wanting for more. The Law of Attraction or manifesting principle states that “you attract the things that your mind or thoughts focused on.” By this law, your “wanting” of money or abundance makes you want it more, but you are not attracting or creating it at all. All you will succeed in “wanting” is creating more of the same feeling.

Now this law is a natural law. It is part and parcel of the workings of the universe and therefore it will always apply to you whether you want what you are manifesting or not. This is not new and I am sure you’ve heard about all these before. If you haven’t heard of this, you might have applied this before albeit unconsciously.

Abundance in nature from which all things flows

As I have said, money or abundance is scarce in our reality because we have accepted it as such by witnessing hardships & financial problems over the years. This way of thinking is already like a habit. Habits are already automatic actions and unconsciously done. However, you can use the manifesting principle cited above to consciously attract abundance to you in the same you have unconsciously attracted scarcity. Just turn it around!

Yes it is easily said than done, but it can definitely be done. Overturning this “pauper mindset” as I call it is not just going to take a day or two. Years of living with it has ingrained it into our subconscious. It is going to take a strong & determined will power to overcome its hold in your psyche. The single most important step you can do right now is to make a firm a decision to ACCEPT THE ABUNDANCE THAT IS RIGHTFULLY YOURS. You can say it out loud right now (just don’t let anybody hear you, they might think you’ve gone over the edge!). Say, “I ACCEPT THE ABUNDANCE THAT IS RIGHTFULLY MINE!” If this is the first time you have done it, it is going to sound embarrassing. Just repeat the affirmation as many times as you can. Say it out loud and start with pretending that you really believe it.

Here are other things you should try:

1. Aside from saying out loud your affirmation, write it down, draw it, make a symbol of it and carry it around. Be specific. Be positive.
2. Visualize money in your hands or in your wallet as if you are holding it already.

3. Do meditation & self-hypnosis. During hypnosis, the mind which is always full of haphazard & clashing thoughts is tamed down. During this time, it becomes more receptive to the ideas, like your affirmations, that you introduce to it.
4. Pretend as if there truly is abundance in your life right now. No, I am not saying you have to live beyond your means or spend unnecessarily. Start by giving thanks for whatever blessings you have right now, including the ones you take for granted because it is always there, like air or the beauty in nature. Make a habit of giving thanks for the smallest goodness or kindness you have received.
5. Make a habit of reading motivational books daily.
6. Act!
7. Even if you have successfully manifest abundance, continue affirming, meditating and reading motivational books.
