Law of Attraction and Manifesting Your Desires

Attachment is one of the major reasons why we fail to manifest our desires through the law of attraction. This is because the very act of desperately desiring something conveys to the universe that something is not in existence in the mental plane or in the material plane. By the law of attraction, that is what it is going to be.

Attachment prevents us from becoming who we truly are and fulfilling our potentials and purpose. Being attached to object/situation/person means we are basing our life’s decisions, our actions and words on that object/situation/people. This alone is a violation of the universal law of life which is flow and freedom.

Wanting something so badly begets all the negative energies that prevents the law of attraction from working in our favor or not working at all. From attachment comes out fear, jealousy, greed, and hopelessness among others. Attachment creates in us a feeling of fear that our desire is not going to be manifested. This is caused by the perception that our happiness greatly depends on this object/situation/person so we MUST HAVE that desire manifested NOW. The irony is that it is not going to manifest because your predominant thought is “fear because of lack.” Remember that the law of attraction manifests your predominant thoughts.

This comes from personal experience. I wanted it to manifest so much because I thought my happiness depends on it. I wanted it to happen the next day, not next week. So my affirmations went something like this, “Please give it now” or “Please manifest it now.” I begged and begged (begging is a big no-no when manifesting with the law of attraction) but nothing happened the next day. So I repeated the same process and still it didn’t manifest. I forgot about it, not intentionally, but it was a good thing because that was when it manifested.

In Magnetizing Your Heart’s Desire, Sharon Warren illustrates the difference between a CREATOR and a REACTOR. Creator is someone who creates with the universe using the law of attraction, while a reactor is just someone who responds to the universe. She also pointed out that the word REACTOR has the same letters as the word CREATOR only in different order.

If you are attached to an object/situation/person, you will never be more than a REACTOR. You will always be responding to this object/situation/person which you consider to be your world or your universe.

Wow! Another new year? Where did all the time go? As you look back, did you achieve all that you set out to do last year? Are you where you want to be in all aspects of your life? How long did you follow through on your New Year’s resolutions? Or did they sputter out within a few days or a few weeks?

Well, now we get to start all over again. The good news is 2008 is the year of New Beginnings! In numerology,it is a ‘10’ year (2+0+0+8 = 10) which provides the positive energies of: creativity, expansion, progression and future oriented, leadership with courage, wisdom, and knowledge, interactive, self sufficient, high aspirations, and magnetic forces to assist in our creations. So in 2008 you can take all the lessons you’ve learned and completed from the past and apply them so you can consciously create your future. And this leads us to the Universal Law of Reflection . . . is your life reflecting back what you envision?

The Law of Reflection is ultimately the representation and manifestation of “As Above, So Below”. The Universe will reflect back to you what you shine into it. You may want to create ‘be-ing’ and living ‘Heaven on Earth’ within you and around you. However, that may not what is necessarily showing up in your life if what you are sending to the Universe is somehow skewed. The Universe reflects back to you what you are giving to it through the expression of Self whether it is in your thoughts, words, feelings, or actions. Remember, all of these are energetic vibrations which ultimately manifest as form in your life.

So if your life is not what you envision, ask yourself where are you out of alignment with your dreams. If you desire love in your relationships and life, are you expressing love to yourself and others? And, of course, you must begin by loving yourself first then share the love with others; not the other way around. Do you love yourself free of conditions or are you judgmental and continually beat yourself up? What is the nature of your self talk? Do you even pay attention to the thoughts, words, feelings, and actions that you have toward yourself? Many don’t. This is the opportunity for you to become more conscious with your energy toward Self and others.

I love the Awareness Jar process to help people become more conscious about what they are truly creating within and around themselves. Find a big empty jar and list the types of negative energy you put out to the Universe. As you think, say, feel, or do anything negative that you have identified and want to change, you pay the jar $________ (decide on an amount that stretches you!). Some examples include: expressing lack or limitation, saying “I always or never”, “I’ll try”, “I don’t know”, “I can’t”,
“I should or you should”, “I’m stupid”, or saying “I’m sorry” as an automatic response or when you don’t mean it, feel you’re not good enough or worthy, think something is too hard, do not fully commit, gossip about others or continue passing on hearsay, not deal with a person directly, engage in negative name calling, or take things personally.

The moment you become aware of any of the above negative expressions or behaviors, immediately identify a counteractive positive expression or behavior. Now, tell the Universe to Cancel or Delete the negative energy you originally sent, then send forth your new positive energy by claiming it as if it is occurring in the present tense. Initially, this allows your small egoic fear-based mind to be conditioned and uplifted into your Divine Mind and you will eventually feel it, know it, and believe it. You want to give your current mind a new job. The new job is to catch what you are honestly thinking, saying, feeling, and doing then to replace it with what you truly desire. You do it immediately as it happens. If you are at work or someplace else, you write it down and make sure to pay the jar when you get home! And no cheating! Commit to follow through on this for a minimum of 30 days with 90 days being optimum or until you have broken your old mind set and habits. Once you’re done, go out and have fun with your $s!

If you are putting out to the Universe that you want love but doing the opposite of what you intend, the Universe will reflect back to you the energy you actually sent forth. Think of the Universe as your mirror. “Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the ____________ of them all?” If you are not the most lovable of them all (to yourself) then you cannot be that with others or expect the Universe to bring it to you. But the Universe will support you by bringing you opportunities to see where you are and are not love. This shows up as the people and situations that bring you the experiences and lessons about love.

I found I kept attracting the same type of man in my personal Beloved relationships. I desired a relationship that was full of love, honor, respect, cherishing, nurturing, fun, compassion, passion, integrity, openness, intra-dependence (versus co-dependence), and honest communication. What I actually created was so far from what I desired that my body had to get my attention by becoming physically sick thus showing me, “This is not it!” The reflection was so intense so I had to look at why this was occurring. I knew it was not about who he was or was not; it was my journey to explore, learn, and heal what was coming to the surface for me to address.

In being willing to go into the awareness no matter where it took me of why the relationship was showing up the way it was, I was able to be honest with myself even if the Truth hurt. In being compassionate with myself, I was able to be present with the True energetics – the thoughts, words, feelings, and actions that I had rather being judgmental of what I was discovering from the past or what I was presently creating. The Universe reflected back to me where I needed to refine and learn how to love, respect, and honor of my Self more deeply and where I needed to communicate with my Self more openly and honestly. As I did this, I was able to admit the relationship I was in no longer served me; I experienced, learned and healed what I needed to so I could attract the man I truly desire. And interestingly enough, each man I date now is closer and closer to whom I envision my Self to be with in a committed Beloved relationship.

Remember the Universe provides you with an infinite amount of possibilities and opportunities; it does not create your life, you do. What will the Universe reflect back to you in 2008; what’s in alignment and what’s out of alignment within your expressions? What is it that you will consciously choose to create in 2008? It’s your choice – you are the Co-Creator of your world!

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!
